He could have avoided the slap if he wanted to, but in the end, he didnât budge an inch. He simply stood there waiting for it to arrive.
Maybe because Chris was a little embarrassed by the look in Westonâs eyes, he shifted his gaze away.
âI didnât mean for it to happen back then-you know it! This is the only solution to it all. Do you really want to ruin the life we have right now? If you really donât want to marry Guinevere, you can wait for a few years before divorcing her. Why do you have to do this now?
âWeston, you werenât this immature before!â he exclaimed, as if his heart was shattering.
âImmature?â Weston nearly burst out laughing, as if he had just heard the best joke ever told.
He took a sudden step forward and moved slowly to Chrisâ side, patting him on the shoulder.â How is asking my fiancée to take a psychological test immature? Or do you have a better way of dealing with my marriage?â Chrisâ face became pale as he gazed at him furiously. âDo you really have to talk to me that way? What should I do to make you listen to me?â
Weston suddenly withdrew his hand, and his eyes gradually became frigid. âItâs easy. Just promise me one thing.â
It was as if Chris knew what Weston was about to say because his eyes turned hostile.
Sure enough, the next second, he heard Weston say, âI want someone.â
Chris clenched his fist tightly in an instant, as if he knew it all along. âI knew it! Who do you want? The old you wouldnât do such things at all!â
Weston didnât say a word and only stared at him quietly.
Chris sucked in a deep breath and asked, âYouâve made up your mind, havenât you? Do you know what the Cohen family will think?â âThis isnât what I should worry about anymore, Father.â
Hearing this, Chris was startled. Then, he took a step back, let out a deep breath, and pointed at the door of the office. âGo in now and bring Guinevere out to me. No matter what happens in the future, Iâll help you explain it all to your mom and the Cohen family.â
A grin appeared on Westonâs face as he said, âI hope you keep your promise.â
Inside the office.
When Weston walked in, Guinevere stood up instantly and rushed to him. âWhat did he say?â
âNothing.â There werenât any emotions on his face. He turned to look at Dr. Quirk. âIs it over?â
Dr. Quirk shook his head and explained, âThe situation is trickyââ
Before he could finish, Weston interrupted him. âSince thatâs the case, letâs call it a day.â Hearing this, Dr. Quirk shot up to his feet with shock âSo, youâre not continuing?â Weston didnât say a word but turned to look at Guinevere. A light flashed through her eyes as she asked hopefully, âWe can leave?â
âYes. Letâs go,â he replied in a deep voice after a while.
Stella had a few peaceful days, and Weston never appeared anymore. She even felt that the threats Weston laid out to her were merely a nightmare. Justin had been actively asking her out. After the two of them talked it out that night, their relationship had gotten one step closer. It was time to get off work.
Stella released a sigh of relief as she stared at the words on her phone.
The next second, an unknown number called her.
She was so shocked that she stood up immediately and caused the water on the table to pour all over her. It was Weston who called her.
