Dr. Quirk was a man who preferred quiet places, and seldom came to entertainment venues like this one. Heâd always reject Yvonne each time she asked him to join her here.
If it werenât because of Weston, he wouldâve never agreed to come here. Having known Weston for so many years, he seldom saw him in such a mood, silent and pensive, as he sat emotionless.
âDid you fight with Guinevere?â
That was the only possibility he could think of, based on what he knew.
His question earned him a slight furrow of Westonâs brows, as if repulsed by the mention of the subject.
Lucas usually loathed interfering in the business of others, but this was Weston he was talking about.
Having remembered seeing him with Stella the other day, he asked casually, âWhat is your relationship with Ella?â
Weston did not appear to react badly towards the mention of the name. His brows simply furrowed slightly. Yet, Lucas managed to catch that shift in his expression, and he arrived quickly at a conclusion.
âThat day when Yvonne and I saw you and Stella in the middle of the night. It wasnât a coincidence, was it?â
Although he phrased it as a question, he knew the answer as clear as day.
Weston remained silent.
A moment later, he heard a chuckle from Lucas, as he asked half-jokingly, âIf Guinevere finds out, will you two still get married?â
Most people were under the impression that they were officially married, but only a minority knew that they werenât.
They were both from the wealthiest families of society, and if they really did get married, the wedding would be no small affair.
Despite not being officially wedded, society had more or less deemed their families as joined in matrimony. Light reflected off the champagne in the glass. Weston sipped on it as he glanced at the glass bottle on the table before him. âWhy donât you worry about yourself first? Would your wife mind you coming to such a place?â Lucas raised a brow. âIf it werenât to help you solve your problems, I would be home by now, hugging her to sleep.â Weston chuckled and glanced at his watch.
Stella hadnât texted him yet.
Lucas noticed that he had been watching the time for a while. âAre you waiting for someone?â Aside from Guinevere, there shouldnât be anyone else that Weston was waiting for. Yet, he knew that it couldnât possibly be Guinevere. Lucas retracted his gaze and said solemnly, âYou should know your boundaries. I trust that you wonât do anything to cross the line.â âWhat do you mean cross the line?â
âIâm referring to Ella.â
Weston paused for a moment as a mocking gaze flashed past his eyes. âWhen did you become so concerned about Guinevere?â
Instead of being angered by Westonâs tone, he poured a glass of champagne for himself and sipped on it. âIâm not concerned about her, but Yvonne is.â He placed his glass on the table which made a light clinking sound. He smiled and said, âWhat else, then? Do you think Iâm like Henry?â
Everyone knew Henry used to be Westonâs rival in love.
Guinevere had always been the goddess of the entertainment circle. Throngs of men pursued her, but she only had eyes for Weston. Weston and Henry grew up together, and no one dared to mess with either of them.
Everyone assumed that Weston was together with Guinevere, and Henry was the only exception who dared to try fighting with Weston for Guinevereâs affection. For a period of time, Henry was hot on Westonâs heels, and many even thought that Guinevere would eventually fall prey to Henry. No one expected rumors to suddenly surface about Henry and his female bodyguard. Everyone could tell that Guinevere was besotted with Weston. Henry was in no way inferior to Weston, but Guinevere insisted on choosing Weston even after so many years.
