He walked to the balcony and picked up the call. Guinevereâs voice came from the other end. âWeston, where are you now?â âWhatâs the matter?â he asked directly. She was quiet for a while. âAre you in Anh City? I want to see youâ¦â She didnât sound like she was in a good state. âJust tell me directly if thereâs anything,â he cut her off, sounding as if he was annoyed by her. âWas it all in your plan to bring me to do a psychological test so that my emotions got unstable and then postpone our marriage?â she said, a little self-deprecatingly. He didnât say a word, but his heavy breathing was audible through the phone.
Her eyes were red as she asked, âDo you really have to do this?â âYou remember it all?â Only now did his voice show slight emotions. âYes. I remembered that night.â Suddenly, she couldnât hold it anymore and cried out, âHow could you do that to me! I can only have one kid in my entire life, how could you do that to me?â After remembering that incident, every time she looked at Zachary, she felt the urge to kill him.
Why? Guinevere covered her face and cried. She just wanted to have a kid with the man she loved.
Why was fate playing with her like that?
âSince you remember everythingâ¦â There was only coldness left in his voice as he continued, âIf you want any compensation, I will do my bestâ¦â
âI donât want you to compensate me! Didnât you promise me that youâll marry me?â Guinevere suddenly lost her calm and began wailing into her phone. âWhy! You and your father destroyed me! Arenât you worried that Iâll tell everyone? Guess how your mother will respond if she discovers Zacharyâs true identity?â âGuinevere.â Weston sharply called her name and warned, âDonât go overboard.â âWhat did you promise me? I can keep this a secret forever as long as you marry me. I loved you for so longâ¦â
Before she could finish, he coldly cut her off. âSince you remember everything, I donât have to remind you who is the one that caused all of this to happen.â After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and his face was gloomy to the point of becoming terrifying After a while, he dialed another number. The person on the other line picked up and he said directly, âGuinevere remembers everything. If you donât want mom to find out what happened, get someone to watch her.â âDidnât you solve this matter already? How can she remember!â Chrisâs anger could be heard from the phone. Weston rubbed his forehead in frustration and answered, âInstead of letting your anger out on me, why donât you find a way to solve it?â
Chrisâs public image was always that of a nice and compassionate man who adored his wife, but in truth, he was far from that.
âIf you hadnât brought her to see the psychologist, all of this wouldnât have happened.â Weston chuckled coldly. âYou caused all the trouble. Iâm just helping you, father.â
He deliberately said the last word out loud with some force.
The man on the other end of the phone instantly went quiet.
âIâll fix this,â Chris replied after a long while, his voice marred with exhaustion. After hanging up the call, Weston didnât return to the living room. As he looked at the view afar, he felt his temples throb, He turned around and saw Stella behind him. He didnât know when she came but she was staring dully at him.
She put her hand on the window, and her eyes were crystal clear. After some time, he gradually opened his mouth and asked, âHow much did you hear?
