Mr. Ford Is Jealous novel Chapter 722

Chapter 722 

Weston took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the dull aching pain inside of him. Someone had noticed his presence there… 

“Weston?” his mother called out. “What are you doing, standing over there like that? Come over here!” 

Stella’s body stiffened instantly when she heard what Wendy was saying. She had finally just relaxed and was able to hold Zach in her arms with ease, but now she suddenly didn’t know what to do, and her eyes darted around in panic. 

Zach seemed to sense her distress, and he, too started to get restless. He shook his little arms and legs and began to yell. 

“Waaa! Waaa!” 

It looked like he was trying to get Stella’s attention. 

“I think he really likes you!” Wendy exclaimed. 

Zach had shown much interest in Stella since he first met her on the film set. His big gleaming eyes would be fixed on her as if he could already tell that she was a beautiful woman even though he was not even a toddler yet. 

“He wouldn’t let anyone hold him at home,” Wendy continued. “But his eyes got huge, and he couldn’t even 

blink at the sight of all the beautiful women on set! What a rascal!” 

Just then, Weston came over, and Wendy nodded at him. 

Stella looked away and laughed before saying, “If he really does like beautiful women, then he should be staring at you all day, every day!” Wendy laughed heartily. Although she had a strict skincare regimen, there were now visible crow’s feet around the corner of her eyes when she laughed, even though they weren’t so obvious when the light was soft and forgiving. “You’re such a sweet talker!” Wendy told Stella before glancing at her son and added, “Weston never knew how to cheer me up like that! You know, I do regret giving birth to him. I should’ve had a daughter instead! I would’ve been much happier with a daughter!” 

Wendy was only joking, of course. Stella was fully aware of it, too, so she didn’t take any of it to heart. 

She could feel that Weston’s gaze was fixed on her even though he was standing behind her. He was exuding a kind of pressure, but she refused to look back at him and just pretended that she didn’t know he was there at all, while all the while focusing on teasing Zach and tickling his chin to make him laugh. 

Wendy took him into her arms and gently patted his back. “I’ll take him back to the nursery and put him to sleep then,” she said, gazing at Weston and Stella. “Both of you should go to bed now. It’s getting late.” Anyone could tell she was trying to give the two of them some alone time. 

As soon as Wendy was gone, Weston pinned Stella to the wall and murmured, “It appears that a certain someone likes you very much.” “Who are you referring to?” Stella raised her chin to look straight into his eyes. “Wendy or Zach?” 

Weston sniggered before leaning down to her ear and whispered, “Didn’t it occur to you that I might be referring to myself, hmm?” 

Stella’s eyes darkened. She quickly looked away to escape the intimate moment they were sharing. It didn’t matter how cold her heart was in regards to Weston; it was impossible she remained unmoved when he just implied that he liked her very much. The phrase meant a lot to her. 

The fact that Weston would just blurt out that he liked her very much willy-nilly told her that she was like a new toy to him-nothing more than a passing fancy. 

Seeing that she was avoiding his eye contact, Weston dropped the subject, hoping to not make it any more awkward for her. 

“Are you staying here tonight?” he asked, caressing her face.
