Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 430

Chapter 430

 After a while, Stella said, “Did it cross your mind that you’d just end up an average Joe, earning an average salary if you start working so soon? That you won’t be able to fight back if something happened to me? On the other hand, if you further your studies abroad, your options are limitless-and you wouldn’t be constrained because you prioritized short-term profits.” 

She continued, “For example, if you somehow end up working at the company you interviewed for, you’d be under Weston’s control. There is no choice for you but to run at that point, and if he really found me, do you think you can stop him with you being as you are now? 

Roger’s eyes twitched and slowly turned red, and seeing that he was shaken and his stubbornness slowly crumbling, Stella pushed on. “Right now, I don’t need you to relieve my financial burden-we have our savings, and I’m doing just fine. That’s why you don’t have to pressure yourself. Just focus on your own future and keep climbing, as long as there are opportunities open to you!” “You’re a big boy now, Roger. Try to look forward, and not just at what’s in front of you.” 

Stella’s words were soft, and yet it struck Roger like a hammer, clearing his head. 

It was true—he had been naive. He believed that staying with his sister was good enough, and it had never crossed his mind that even if he did, he was incapable of protecting her. 

“But I don’t want to go so far away… It’s going to take a long time before I can come home.” “It’s just growing pains.” Seeing that his tone had softened and knowing that he was caving, Stella spoke to him sincerely, “I can’t stay with you forever anyway.’ Roger clenched his fist right then. “Why not?! We only have each other!” Stella laughed. “Now, now, you’re sounding just like a child. Weren’t you insisting that you were an adult just a moment ago?” 

Roger turned silent right then and said nothing else. 

After a long while, he asked, “I need to think about this, okay? Give me time.” Stella nodded, since it was a big deal for Roger, and she should give him space since he was actually thinking rationally and not catering to his own whims. 

“As long as you keep a calm head, I’ll support you in whatever decision you make.”
