Chapter 719
Chris Ford had been concealing his feeling of guilt from the start, yet when Wendy unknowingly revealed the truth that he’d been so anxious to hide, he acted like a cat whose tail had just been trampled and exploded with anger.
“I’m sick of you speaking nonsense like that all the time!” he snarled, “You know how ridiculous you’re being! Zack is our own grandson. Why would it be so weird that I’m concerned about him?”
Wendy said nothing in reply. She removed the treatment mask and wiped her face with a clean cotton pad. Then, she picked up another bottle of skincare product, poured the content onto her palm, and began rubbing it on her skin.
Chris walked up to her and grabbed her wrist,
“You have to come with me and talk some sense into Father!” he barked. “We have to explain everything to him. Even if Weston and Guinevere’s engagement has been broken off, we still can’t let a woman like Ella Steele be with our son!”
“You go and tell him yourself!” Wendy shoved his hand off her impatiently. “I don’t want to upset Father.”
“WENDY!!!”
It was the first time that Chris Ford had yelled at Wendy in such a manner since they’d gotten married. “I’m truly disappointed in you!” “You should know you’re not getting any younger!” he added. For some reason, the sight of her smearing creams and lotions on her face filled him with a wave of contempt he’d never felt for her before. “Don’t you know how pointless all these creams are? You’re never going to be as pretty as a young woman!”
Those words ultimately triggered Wendy’s wrath. In a blind moment of rage, she bolted to her feet and furiously swept the glass jars and bottles off her vanity, smashing them onto the floor. “Fine!” she shouted. “Why don’t you go on and find a young woman then? Why are you still wasting your time with an old woman like me?!” “Fine!” Chris was so enraged that his eyes had turned bloodshot. “Remember that you said so yourself! So don’t regret it later!”
Men were always like that. Even when they did something wrong, they never stayed feeling guilty for long. Once a period of time had passed, even those as guilty as sin would get impatient and start getting angry. Chris stormed out of the room, leaving Wendy in there all alone.
Stella hid in a nearby storeroom when she heard Chris’s approaching footsteps. She only came out when she saw him storming out of the room and disappearing in the distance.
