Mr. Ford Is Jealous

Chapter 1422

Stella thought having a meal with a stranger was fine. After all, Roger was right about her being too shut off in her own world. It was as if Weston was the only man in her world. It would be good for her to get to know more people.

Besides, Stella needed to figure out her real feelings for Weston. Was it just pity and sympathy and no other emotions? Or maybe she still had a little love left for him?

Anyway, Stella would soon find out her real feelings for Weston. Weston was the only man she was close to in the past few years. She was not close to any other man other than someone like Roger.

Well, there was Justin, but she only reached out to him out of desperation. Due to Weston’s intervention, her brief relationship with Justin ended before she could even get along with him.

Stella could sense Justin’s feelings at that time. He was probably just trying to save her at that time or disliked Weston’s control over her.

When she thought about it, it appeared Weston was the only one who shared such a relationship with her.

The man sitting across saw Stella lost in deep thought and interrupted her, “Miss Cicily. Do you think it’s boring having coffee with me?”

Stella returned to her senses and responded with a smile, “No.”

The gentleman ordered Stella a cup of hand–ground coffee and told her about the differences between the various types of coffee.

Stella listened patiently but eventually got distracted.

Seeing this look, the man laughed a little. “Sorry. I kept talking. Miss Cicily, is there anything you want to talk to me about?”

Stella paused a little before telling him, “You seem very enthusiastic about coffee, but I remember Roger telling me that you run a company.”

In some way, Stella was trying to find him a topic. As expected, the man laughed and proudly said, “Indeed. I worked in a coffee shop before I started my own company. I didn’t think of starting a business at that time. I was poor and thought I would be a barista for life. I eventually started my own business at the right time, but I didn’t expect that it’d reach such a scale today.”

“I see. You started your own business.” Stella nodded. “That’s pretty amazing.”

“Really?” The man was a little flattered. “Miss Cicily, that’s nice of you.”

“No, I really think it’s great.”

The man said humbly, “Well, I thought Miss Cicily wouldn’t be impressed with a company of my size because you had an ex–husband like Mr. Ford.”

Stella was lost for words. She answered with a polite smile, “You can’t say that. He was born rich, but you started from nothing. It’s different. Besides, my relationship with him has long ended. He has nothing to do with me. He’s just my ex–husband.

Let’s not mention him.”

The man smiled without saying anything and offered to talk Stella out for a walk after that. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Stella was actually a little disinterested in him at this point, but as she thought of Roger’s words, she decided to go along with him. However, she did not expect him to take her straight to a car show.

Stella was puzzled seeing the beautiful model posing with the car. “Why did you bring me here?”

“Earlier, I saw you came over with a driver. After seeing your old car, I thought of getting you a new model.”
