Mr. Ford is Jealous

Chapter 293 

“I just want to give this a try, that’s all.” Stella’s gaze fixated on Weston. Her moist gleaming eyes made her look innocent and pitiful. Weston knew that she had made herself look this way on purpose, but that did not stop his heart from softening. “So you… really want to be an actress that much?” he asked. “Mm-hmm,” she nodded. “Besides, I’ll have nothing to do once the training center closes down.” “You can stay by my side and be my companion.” “But you can’t stay with me the whole day!” she argued.
