Mr. Ford Is Jealous
Chapter 821

Chapter 821

It was as if she were a little tail that grew on his bottom.

Weston looked down at her, all smiles. "Nervous?"

Stella remained silent as she pursed her lips.

She could feel everyone's eyes on them. She said softly, "Didn't you say that the engagement ceremony would be a simple affair? why do we have so many guests..." "It's already as simple as it gets."

Weston brought her along to get to know some relatives of the Ford family. "It's just a few business partners and family you've never met. It's not that many people."

"Not many? Exactly how many members are there in the Ford family?"

Stella couldn't help but click her tongue. "I remember when my uncle and aunt got engaged, it was just a matter of both families coming together for a simple meal, and things weren't this complicated..." The mention of Michael and Diana made Stella's eyes darken.

Her family members were not invited to this engagement ceremony.

Her parents were long gone from the plane crash years ago. As for Roger...

She didn't even dare to tell him about it.

She tightened her grip over Weston's arms. "Let's not tell my brother we're getting married soon, alright?"

Weston brought her into the crowd as his brows furrowed at her words. "We are about to become husband and wife. He'll know about it sooner or later."

"But it's not a good time now."

Stella insisted, "He's studying overseas now, and I want him to concentrate on his studies instead of being distracted by other things."

"You'll have to deal with this eventually."

Weston added, "He's not a child anymore and needs to learn to accept reality."

Stella naturally understood his rationale.

She had a pact with old Mr. Ford, and everything she was doing now was merely stalling for time.

She could never truly get married to Weston again, which was why she didn't intend to inform Roger about her engagement.

"Give me a little more time, alright?"

She held Weston's arm and said in a negotiating tone, "I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it so suddenly. Anyway, we have time on our side. There's no need to rush things." Her words successfully put Weston's mind at ease.

His eyes shifted as he put his arm around her waist tight. "You're right. Time is on our side."

"Mr. Ford, it's been a while."

One of his business partners came over to convey his blessings. "You did a fantastic job in that western suburb project!"

He looked at Stella and remarked, "This must be your fiancee, I suppose?"

Weston nodded and began introducing Stella to his guests.

All of them had heard about Weston and Guinevere's engagement, and here was Weston organizing another engagement banquet not long after breaking off his engagement with Guinevere. Yet, all of them were smart enough, not to mention Guinevere.

That was why Guinevere's sudden appearance at the engagement banquet shocked everyone.

"I'm sorry I came late."

Guinevere was dressed in an elegant gown with a hint of a smile. "I hope I didn't miss much."

She walked leisurely to the couple and greeted, "Weston, Ella, have a happy engagement."

Stella was slightly stunned, but recovered quickly and said, "I didn't expect to see you here. Given your condition, I thought you wouldn't have had the time to come over, which was why we didn't invite you." She smiled graciously, as if completely unaffected by Guinevere's unexpected appearance.

Guinevere's face changed as she whispered into Stella's ears. "I know you're putting on a show. You probably don't wish to see me here, right?"

She looked at her deeply and went on, "Don't worry, Ella. I'm not here to create trouble. I'm here just to wish you two the very best."
