Mr. Ford Is Jealous

Chapter 1347

“When these two kids just got here, they’d ask me when

they could see Mommy again every day. They’d even bawl their eyes out all the time…”

“What?” Stella raised her head to look at him. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Because if I told you about it,” Roger sighed, “then you’d drop everything and rush back to Compassvale. I just didn’t want to trouble you, that’s all…”

As he spoke, he suddenly noticed Weston Ford behind Stella. His face grew severe, and he stepped forward to stand between Weston, Stella, and the kids.

“What are you doing here?” Roger demanded, glaring at Weston with a look of apparent hostility, his eyes burning with resentment and displeasure.

Weston paused, but he did not even bother to look at Roger. Instead, his eyes were fixed on Stella, who was busy hugging the two kids. This softened his expressions considerably, and with a soft voice, he replied, “I’m here to see the kids.”

“They’ve got nothing to do with you!” snapped Roger, oblivious to the fact that Stella had admitted that Weston was the kids‘ father. He sneered and added, “You must’ve forgotten that I told you these two kids only belonged to

Stella and the Garcia family, haven’t you? If you think

that they’ve got any connection to you, then I can tell you that you’re being delusional!”

After speaking, he glanced at Stella and gave her a

conflicted look. She stood up and whispered to him, “I told him the truth, Roger…”

“What?” Roger’s eyes widened in shock. He stared at her and asked, “When did you do that? Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

“It’s not something that we can hide forever anyway,” Stella replied in a hushed voice, looking down. “Besides, he really is their father, and we can’t deny that. I just want the kids to decide for themselves when they grow up.” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Roger took a deep breath.

“But they’re still so young!” he argued. “What do they know? Besides, I see no point in letting them accept a man like him as their father even when they grow up!”

Stella sighed softly.

“I’m not sure if I’d made the right decision either…” she told him, massaging the point between her brows.

Seeing her looking conflicted softened Roger’s expressions. He then turned to give Weston a stern look before warning him, “Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re their biological

father! Let me remind you that it was you who had

abandoned them yourself back then, just like how you abandoned your first child! So don’t even dream of trying to get closer to them!”

Their first child would forever be the wall of pain between Stella and Weston.

Once Roger was done speaking, Weston’s face grew cold, and he looked at Roger intently before declaring, “I will never let such a tragedy happen again.”

“You’re one to talk!” Roger tugged at Weston’s necktie, cutting him off. “Did you forget who has been raising them these three years? Who endured all the pain and suffering to give birth to them? And who do you think it was that had been deprived of rest or sleep because she had to take care of them? Do you have any idea how much she’d suffered all these years? A man like you couldn’t possibly comprehend it! You know nothing about the pain of childbirth, much less anything about the hardships of parenting! What right do you have to make such a grand declaration so easily?!”

Weston’s eyes trembled. He was speechless. Roger was not wrong–he had absolutely no right to say he would protect them.

But by the same logic, even Stella had no right to say it

either.

He pushed Roger’s hand aside, looked him dead in the

eye, and told him, “Even if I don’t have any rights, I still want to make it up to them.”

“I know you don’t like me much,” Weston continued, ” but have you ever thought about how the kids might need a complete family? That they need a father?”

“They just need a good man to take care of them!” Roger retorted. “They don’t need you!”

Roger wanted to say that he could be their father too, but he knew that his relationship with Stella was on shaky grounds right now. If he ever said anything like that, all it would do was make her grow more tired of him.

And so, he pushed those thoughts to the back of his mind and glared viciously at Weston, telling him, “If you’re trying to take them back with you, I’ll tell you right now that it won’t be easy!”

“I know,” replied Weston. “But I’ll do anything in my power to get their acceptance and forgiveness.”
