Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 838

Chapter 838 

“Of course not, Aunt Diana!” 

Stella frowned with concern and added, “Please don’t overthink it and get the wrong idea! You’ve done nothing wrong!” 

“Then why didn’t you reveal your real identity to me when I saw you at that shopping mall?” 

“Well…” Stella smiled bitterly. “You’ve heard of what happened at the engagement party yesterday, haven’t you? That was the reason why…” 

“I can understand that.” Diana pursed her lips. “Still, you could’ve just told me that you were Stella. I never would’ve revealed it to anybody else! Didn’t you know how happy I was when I saw you? I was heartbroken when you insisted that you were Ella Steele, not Stella Sealey…” 

“I’m sorry, Aunt Diana.” 

Stella had no idea what else to do apart from apologizing. She couldn’t possibly tell Diana that she had to keep her identity a secret because she knew something Michael was doing everything in his power to hide from the rest of the world that he’d been cheating on Diana behind her back, and that the woman he had cheated on her with was Stella’s own roommate. 

Meanwhile, Michael waited anxiously outside, his eyes kept shifting toward the door behind which his wife and Stella were chatting. 

“You look nervous, Mr. Sealey.” 

Even Weston could clearly see that he was tense and agitated. 

“It looks like you’re afraid that my fiancée would reveal something to your wife that you wish she wouldn’t know.” Weston stated his observation. 

The corners of Michael’s mouth twitched in concealed chagrin. He turned to Weston and said, “You’re overthinking, Mr. Ford. It’s only because I’m anxious to talk to Stella myself. She is my own niece, after all.” 

“That reminds me.” Weston drummed his fingers on the coffee table. “I do find it strange that while my fiancée was excited to meet Mrs. Sealey, she had no desire to talk to you at all, even though you are the one related to her by blood.” 

“Is that a genuine question ?” asked Michael, now on pins and needles. “Or are you insinuating something?” 

“Which do you think it is?” 

“I wouldn’t dare to presume to know what you’re thinking, Mr. Ford.”
