Mr. Ford Is Jealous
Chapter 124

Chapter 124

Time passed without them realizing it, and the atmosphere in the cafe was getting heavier.

Yvonne originally thought that she would feel relieved after her misunderstanding was resolved. But after she learned about what Stella was facing, she couldn't help worrying about her. "Are you sure you don't need my help?" Stella shook her head. "I don't want to drag you into this."

She knew how high Weston's status was. Although she did not know much about social class, she knew he was not someone to mess with judging from the attitude of the other people.

Yvonne was also the wife of a rich man. But if she interfered rashly, it would have a great impact on her as well as Lucas.

The relationship between the rich families was very complicated. It was not simply about right and wrong. And Stella was fully aware of this.

But the more she showed understanding, the more Yvonne felt aggrieved for her.

"I didn't expect Weston to be so similar with all those filthy men in private. He looks very much like a decent man."

He already had a family, but he was still messing around outside! Stella was already a bit numb hearing this. "I have promised my student to go to her house today. It's almost time, so I can't stay for long." Yvonne did not say anything.

Her heart felt heavy. After Stella left, she called Lucas.

It took him a long time to pick up the call.

"What is it?" The man sounded cool, and his tone was urgent, as if he was busy.

Yvonne paused and looked at the time.

It was already past office hours now, but he was still working.

All the words were choked in her throat. She shook her head and said, “It's nothing. I just wanted to remind you to have a proper meal.”

She heard footsteps from the other end of the phone, followed by Lucas' somewhat helpless voice. "You don't have to remind me about these things. It was me who forgot to ask you if you've been having your meals on time." She wanted to tell him that she had when something seemed to have happened on his end. She heard the man say hastily, "There is something I need to deal with. Bye." If it was in the past, she would feel very annoyed.

But because of what happened to Stella, she became much more tolerant of his busyness.

When there was a point of comparison, one could see the difference. Compared to Weston, she felt that Lucas was simply too good.

***

Because of the incident last time, Yvonne contacted Smith in advance this time and sent a car directly to pick Stella up. Stella memorized the route in silence when she came here. After she arrived, she tidied her dress and entered the gate under the guidance of the servants.

They had probably been informed in advance. When she came, everyone greeted her as Miss Steele. "Mr. Smith is on the phone. You can wait here, and we shall serve you some tea. Mr. Smith will come later to discuss the details of your salary with you." She nodded and surveyed the furnishing of the villa. After a while, a plump middle-aged man with a bright smile came in from the balcony. He saw Stella from far away. "Hello, Miss Steele." He glanced at the time. "It's just about time. Ruby just finished her tuition. You can take her to the dance studio anytime."

She stood up and greeted him politely. "Shouldn't I get to know the child first?" She thought that she was only coming for a trial first, but Mr. Smith shook his head and said with a smile, "You were recommended by my acquaintance. You look reliable at first glance, so I have total confidence in you."
