Chapter 726 Downstairs.
As Stella was walking down the stairs, she heard the housekeeper reporting to Wendy.
âAfter Mr. Ford left last night, he never returnedâ¦â
Wendy sat before the dining table, playing with Zack in her arms. She said without a hitch in her expression, âDid he call this morning?â
âYes, he didâ¦â
The housekeeper shook her head with a distressed face.â He did call, but he saidâ¦â
âWhat did he say?â
âHe said he wonât be coming back to eat or to stay the night during this periodâ¦â
Wendy sneered. âWhatever.â
He was willing to stay away from home for Guinevere Cohen, The housekeeper did not want to make any unnecessary comments about their family matters. She simply stood silently at a side.
Warren was also at the dining table, a rare occurrence for him, and he was sipping on his tea, âItâs probably because I let Ella stay at the Ford Manion last night, and he feels upset with the both of us.â
Despite her anger, Wendy remained respectful in face of her own father-in-law. âDad, donât worry. Heâs probably only angry with me.â âIt has nothing to do with you.â Warren smiled. âBoth of you have always been close. Heâs just in a little fit now. Just say something nice to appease him when heâs back.â
Wendy nodded. âI know.â
Warren took another sip of his tea and asked without lifting his head, âWhat are you doing still standing there? Is the view from the stairs very nice? Come down and have breakfast.â
Wendy looked in Stellaâs direction, who caught her gaze and greeted, âGood morning.â She turned to Warren, greeting him as well. âHello, Mr. Ford.â
Warren smiled kindly in return. âJust call me Grandpa as Weston does.â
Stella walked to the dining table and sat down. âSure, Grandpa.â
Even Wendy was taken aback. âGrandpa?â
âWhat, shouldnât she be calling me that, given her age?â Warren put down his teacup.
Wendy knew that Warren wasnât trying to make things difficult for Stella and knew that he allowed Stella to stay here last night.
However, she thought that it was because he didnât want to air the familyâs dirty laundry in public, so he simply did so to appease Stella.
She did not expect Warren to treat Stella so well.
Wendy was shocked.
She glanced at Stella.
She had to give it to Weston. The woman he fancied was indeed better than those other disgraceful and unpresentable females.
Only a woman like this can leave Guinevere at her witsâ end. âSeems like both of you get along quite wellâ¦â Wendy remarked.
Warren glanced at her thoughtfully but didnât say anything Stella concentrated on eating her breakfast, looking very much at ease and not awkward at all.
Zack, on the other hand, began wriggling around in LL TL Wendyâs lap. He stared right at Stella, his black eyes shifting curiously around. âBaa! Ahh!â He babbled.
âNot again!â
Wendy pinched his cheeks affectionately. âHe always gets agitated when he sees beautiful ladies. Heâll probably be like Xavier when he grows up, a flirtatious young man!â The mention of Xavier instantly put Warren in a bad mood. âDonât talk about that unfilial brat!â
Wendy shut her mouth and blinked at Stella.
Both of them exchanged glances and kept their silence.
Stella glanced a few more times at Zack.
She had been thinking about Westonâs abnormal behavior last night.
Now that she thought about it, it might be because of the change in her attitude towards Zack that made Weston think that she liked Zack.
