Chapter 115 Seeing her daughter so aggrieved, Mrs. Cohen frowned.
âWeston, I know youâve always been a good boy. Have you been under too much pressure at work lately? Are you emotionally unstable? I heard some gossipâ¦. Anyway, you need to rest and spend more time with your family.â
Weston was known to be the dream lover of the rich ladies in the circle. Unlike the immature rich kids, his focus was mostly on work.
He was destined to be a step above the rest from birth. He did not waste his talent and resources, leaving his peers far behind.
It was rare for someone of his current age to master and control the core business of his family. As a result, whenever the parents were lecturing their disobedient children, they would use Weston as an example and tell them to learn from him.
Wealthy families were most afraid of the existence of illegitimate children. They shared the same inheritance rights with other children. A rich lady would certainly consider the manâs private life when choosing a husband. If an illegitimate child somehow appeared one day, it might threaten the status of their biological children.
Weston was known to be abstinent from women. All these years, Guinevere had been the only woman by his side. To many, he was considered a loyal and dedicated lover.
However, there were some rumors about Westonâs past. Weston had another woman with him, but she disappeared. No one knew if the rumor was true, or if they covered it up.
It was a matter between the two children. As parents, they could not interfere too much. However, they had to voice their views about their daughterâs marriage. âActually, we know youâre not that kind of man.
The rumors out there can be quite unpleasant. It may also affect your reputation. All Guinevere and you need now is just the marriage certificate and wedding ceremony. As long as you two have a good relationship, the rumors will go away. The wedding will be a long process. Why donât you register your marriage first?â Mrs. Cohen put forward her request in a casual tone.
Guinevere was a little nervous and looked at the man beside her.
Westonâs eyes remained inexplicable. He did not agree to nor refuse their suggestion. After a long moment, he finally said, âI donât have a problem with it, but getting a certificate is not childâs play. Itâll involve our assets and other issues. Iâll let the professionals handle it.â
This was indeed a problem worth considering. Guinevereâs parents did not object. âIndeed. Itâs the union of two families, and some things need to be made clear.â
âAlso, another thingâ¦â Weston paused and looked at Guinevere. âIâll have someone arrange a premarital medical examination as soon as possible so that weâre responsible for each other.â
Hearing this, Guinevere became puzzled. âWe have a child already. Is there a need to do such a test?â
âItâs just a part of the marriage process. Why shouldnât we do it? You may have a child already, but we can get to know each otherâs health better this way.â
He had a point, but Guinnevere found it strange. However, since he finally yielded to their requests, she could only nod and agree. âThen weâll do as you say.â
The conversation this time was pleasant. Guinevereâs parents did not stay any longer.
Before leaving, Mrs. Cohen told Guinevere to stay. âWeâll leave first. Spend some quality time with Weston.â
Guinevere stood at the door and sent them both out. When she closed the door and turned around, she saw Weston standing behind her. He looked at her coldly with no expression on his face.
