Mr. Ford Is Jealous

Chapter 1405

Stella gave Warren Ford a brief glance before telling him, “We’ve said all there is to

say

the last time we met. I don’t think there’s any more need for us to talk.”

Warren’s eyes trembled. He looked as if he had something to say, yet he somehow couldn’t.

Meanwhile, Elias and Emma could not help but poke their heads out of the car with curiosity when the old man who had been coming to see them these past few days called out their mother’s name. They had anticipated seeing their mother being happy now that she had finally come back, but for some reason, Elias sensed that something was wrong and felt the urge to get out of the car to be with his mother.

But before he could get out, Roger quickly stopped him.

“The adults are talking right now,” he told Elias. “You’re just a kid. You’ve got no business interrupting them.”

Elias said nothing in reply, but he was perceptive enough to know that his mother was in a bad mood, which made him anxious to get out of the car.

Emma sensed this too, and she kept looking out, watching her mother talking to the old man.

Warren had met them before and spoken briefly with them. Elias and Emma were his great– grandchildren, so he was kind and amiable with them, which meant that the children had a pretty good impression of him.

But at the same time, they could see that the old man did not get along well with their mother. They could keenly sense the tense interaction between Stella and

Warren Ford.

They were only concerned for Stella, though.

As for Warren, at this point, he was so eager to please Ștella that he almost seemed

humbled before her.

“Surely you must know why I’m here,” he said. “I had come to see the children.

without your permission these past few days, and that is completely my fault. But no matter what, I am still their great–grandfather…” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“I haven’t even recognized Weston Ford as the father of my children yet,” Stella interrupted him, “so what right do you have to claim yourself as their great- grandfather?”

Warren had met the kids with complete sincerity and determination, so he was

mentally prepared to be treated coldly by Stella. He assumed that based on his age and seniority, very few would be so blunt to the point of embarrassing him to his face.

His expressions went through several changes, but he managed to keep calm.

“I’m not here to take anything away from you,” he explained patiently, “I’m only here to ask you… if you could let the kids visit me every once in a while?”

“I’m sorry,” Stella frowned, “but no.”

She gave him a very blunt and direct refusal without any hesitation.

“But Madam,” the butler could not help but chime in, “Mr Warren Ford has always regretted what he did to you. He held back seeing you all this while, but because of his recent poor health, he decided to ask you a favor since he didn’t want to leave this world with any regrets.”

“And I have let him ask me what he wanted,” Stella smiled, “but the answer is still no. I will not agree to it.”

Stella realized that she might act like a vengeful person right now, but she simply

could not forget what Warren Ford had done to her in the past.

Had she not been extraordinarily lucky, she would not even have the chance to be standing here in front of him now.

Warren’s eyes clouded over. After hearing what she said, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

“In that case,” he added, “can I come here and see them sometimes?”

For a man like him, this was a great enough of a concession on his part, yet Stella ended up neither agreeing nor refusing it.

“That would depend on whether or not the kids want to accept you,” she replied. “But as for me, I will not forgive you for the rest of my life.”

Once she finished her sentence, she turned around and got straight into the car.

Warren watched as she walked away. He coughed as endless remorse flooded his

heart.

“What did that old man say to you, Mommy?”

Stella was greeted with that question from Elias as soon as she got into the car, and his voice was full of concern. She looked at her children’s innocent faces and

suddenly heaved a sigh before pulling them both into her arms.

“We were just chatting, that’s all.”

“But you look like you’re really upset, Mommy! Was that old man mean to you?”

“Of course not! You know that I’ll never let anyone bully me.”

Emma had confusion written all over her little face. She bit her fingers as she quietly stared at her mother and older brother.

Stella pulled her hands down and scolded her, “You’re a big girl now, Emma! You’re not allowed to bite your fingers anymore, understood?”

Emma nodded and smiled sweetly at her.

Stella couldn’t stay mad at her daughter when she looked that cute, so she sighed helplessly and gathered her children into her arms, and showered them with kisses.
