Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61

The woman yelled out curses as the car receded into the distance. Stella looked away. She was about to leave when she heard the woman shouting at her.

“Hey! What’s your name?”

Stella paused her steps. She turned around and looked at the woman but said nothing.

“Why are you all alone in such a place?” the woman continued, not minding that Stella didn’t answer her question. “Hmph! I bet you got dumped by a scumbag just like me, didn’t you?”

Stella raised her brows. The woman wasn’t wrong… She shrugged wearily.

“Do you want to walk home together?” Stella asked.

“No,” the woman shook her head. “It’s your lucky day. I just called someone to pick me up. You can come along with us.”

Stella gave it a good thought before she finally agreed.

“Thank you,” she said earnestly.

“Oh, don’t worry about it. We’re in the same boat, after all! Dry your eyes, sister. Let’s never get involved with scumbags, ever again!”

“Yes,” Stella laughed. “I agree!”

Meanwhile, in the car on the road ahead, the so-called scumbag Xavier Ford glanced at the angry woman through the rearview mirror and tugged at his collar nonchalantly. Sounds of rapid wind filled his ears. He picked up his phone and called a number.

“This is the first time you ever asked for my help, and it’s all for a woman,” he said. “Aren’t you worried that Guinevere would blow up if she finds out?”

Roger’s tense body completely relaxed when he saw Stella. “Where have you been?” he asked. “I’ve been worried to death!”

Roger heaved a long sigh of relief before continuing, “I went to the training center to find you, but they told me that you left long ago, so I came back home, but you’re not here either. I thought that something happened again…”

Ever since the kidnapping, Stella had always been back home on time every day. If she was even slightly late, Roger would instantly grow concerned and get antsy, fearing the worst. That horrible incident had been hanging over the two siblings like a dark, heavy cloud, but they never talked about it because they were afraid of upsetting each other.

Stella’s eyes reddened, and the tears welled up. She stepped towards Roger and rested her head on her brother’s shoulder.

“Something happened again, didn’t it?” Roger asked as he gently patted his sister’s back. “It’s all going to be okay, Sis. You still have me by your side.” Roger was right, thought Stella. She still had him. At the very least, she still had one family member who loved her.

“Everything’s fine, Roger,” she assured him, looking up at him with a smile. “Come on, let’s eat out tonight!”
