Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 556

Chapter 556 

Stella never talked to Weston about her family. 

Even though Ben had submitted a complete and detailed report of Stella’s background when they first got married, Weston didn’t pay much attention to it because he wasn’t interested at all. 

All he knew was that Stella had long severed all contact with her family and left her home with Roger before surviving on their own. 

Seeing how tormented she had looked in her sleep just now, Weston realized that he knew too little about her. He even assumed that Stella’s emotions were probably stabilizing gradually since it wasn’t that often that she had nightmares about her baby 

Little did he know that her mind was plagued by another nightmare. 

She was only in her early twenties. How could she have gone through so much in her young life? 

He turned glum. He took her hand and kissed it gently before telling her, “You should go wash up a little, okay?” 

Stella was still in a daze. When she finally woke up, she felt like all her energy had been sapped from her body. She needed Weston’s help to even stand up. 

“How long have I been asleep?” she asked, her voice raspy. 

“About an hour,” replied Weston after glancing at his watch. 

He didn’t want to bring up the subject of her nightmare, so he just kissed her forehead and reminded her, “It’s getting late. We should get some rest.” 

“Okay,” she responded simply, but just as she was about to take her first step, Weston suddenly picked her up. Rather than resisting , Stella leaned against his shoulder quietly. She just didn’t have an ounce of energy left. 

With practiced efficiency, Weston carried her to the bathroom, gently placed her in the bathtub, and then started 

filling it with warm water. 

“Wait…” Stella protested meekly, slightly distressed because she was still wearing the red evening dress. “You’ll ruin the fabric of this dress if it gets wet…” 

“I’ll buy you another one,” he replied nonchalantly. 

He then let her hair down and continued bathing her with the same seriousness he’d approach a multibillion -dollar contract 

But Stella took no notice of this. Once she’d regained her senses, the only thing preoccupying her mind was the incident in the bar. 

After a long pause, she finally replied, “He’s the only family I have…” 

“I’ve heard that before!” Weston nudged her chin up with his fingers. “Why haven’t I ever noticed how heartless you can be?” 

Stella’s eyes flickered as she saw the wounded expressions on his face. 

“I never knew how impulsive you could be either…” 

“Is Roger the only thing you care about?” he interrupted her.“ You really would do anything for that guy, huh?!” 

Stella nodded. 

“I told you he’s the only family I have. Of course, I’ll do anything for him!” 

She saw his eyes turn violently dark. He kept his penetrating gaze fixed on her as he snarled, “You really do know how to provoke me.” 

The grip of his hands on her body grew tighter and tighter. She drew a sharp breath as an aching pain rippled through her body
