Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28

The atmosphere at the dining table mellowed down.

Xavier looked back and forth between the two with mild interest. He let out a soft chuckle laced with sarcasm but didn’t let anyone catch him in the act.

Weston didn’t answer. He merely reached forward to ladle Guinevere a bowl of soup.

However, his hands paused in midair for a moment as an untimely scene flashed through his mind.

He remembered Stella’s back profile as she busied herself in the kitchen.

This table was filled with dishes prepared by a renowned chef so it was of significant standard, but Weston suddenly remembered Stella’s dishes instead…

She had never made anything too fancy, and they were mostly average home cooked meals. However, each dish tasted great and he wondered where she had learned to cook like that.

Weston had to socialize a lot so he rarely ate at home.

· At first, none of the dishes Stella made were to his liking. He lost interest after glancing at them and only took a few bites to please her.

When they tasted good, he would eat a few more bites.

How could the dead possibly win against the living?

After dinner, the rest of the Ford family members noticed something amiss so they found excuses to leave.

Weston remained impassive and stayed in his seat. Sure enough, Chris swept him a glance and said, “Come here, I have something to say to you.” Weston finally looked up to meet Chris’s gaze. Shortly after, Guinevere felt anxious as she watched Weston leave, so she stood up. Wendy seized her hand and shook her head. “They might not be talking about you and Weston, so don’t cause trouble.”

· Now that everyone else was gone, Wendy’s attitude toward her took a sharp turn. Guinevere pursed her lips and couldn’t resist asking softly, “Aunt Wendy, do you perhaps have a misunderstanding toward me?”
