Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128

Stella didn’t know why he said that. She frowned and said affirmatively, “I never thought of you that way.”

“Then why, even at a time like this, would you rather go on a blind date with a stranger than come to me for help?”

He suddenly lost control of his emotions and spoke. “I have told you many times that I would help you no matter what difficulties you face. Am I so unworthy of your trust that you would rather marry a stranger to prevent Weston from troubling you than come to me for help? At least I know what happened between you. Wouldn’t that be more convenient?”

She took a deep breath. “That’s exactly why I could not go to you. I’m very sorry, Mr. Hall. I know how you feel for me, but if I used this to achieve my goal, it would be unfair to you. This was why I could only look for a stranger. It would just be a business with predetermined

conditions, and nobody would owe anyone anything. But it would be different if the man was you. I don’t want to owe you anything.”

“You don’t want to owe me anything because you have no feelings for me. You didn’t come to me for help so that you can always draw the line between us. Is that so?” He suddenly calmed down and closed his eyes. Then, he pulled up at the roadside. He was currently too emotional to drive.

After a while, she said softly, “I am very sorry, Mr. Hall.”

He had not smoked for a long time. It was a bad habit he took up after he divorced his wife.

“How is it a waste of time? Don’t you need someone to marry? What do you think of me?”

As if he had made up his mind, he put out his cigarette and stared at her solemnly. “We can get to know each other properly. You need someone to marry so that Weston will stop pestering you and you can live a normal life. Coincidentally, I need someone by my side. Besides, you should know how I feel about you.”

She was taken aback. Before she could say anything, the man interrupted her. “As for your fear of owing me, it is completely unnecessary. Having feelings for you is my business. You don’t have to respond to it. I have asked Charles about the agreement between you and him, and he said that both of you could terminate the relationship at any time, anywhere. Since the deal failed, then why don’t you consider me? Am I not more suitable than him?” She let out a long sigh and said, “But it won’t do you any good. Besides, Weston is not an ordinary man. If he decides to harm you-” “I have been living in this circle for many years. Although my status is not as high as his, I won’t let him do whatever he wants. I want to marry you not merely because I want to help you. I told you—I need a companion.” He suddenly paused and let out a self-deprecating laugh. “There is one thing I have not confessed to you: I was married once.”

She froze for a moment and stared at him. 3 Although a little surprising, it was not completely unexpected.
