Wendy walked up to him and smiled at him. âHow could I possibly leave you alone in a situation like this?
Chris looked into her sincere eyes and suddenly felt guilty. He turned away and did not dare to look at her again. He secretly regretted the absurd things he had done. However, what could he do now?
Things had come to this point. He had no choice but to keep it a secret. Wendy did not fail to notice his evasive eyes, but she said nothing and smiled. Then, she looked at Mrs. Cohen and Guinevere with a polite face.
As a woman, she would deal with the other women.
âGwen, did you feel uncomfortable living here? No matter what, our family has neglected you and didnât pay enough attention to your emotions. Just let us know your conditions. If we can meet it, weâll satisfy your demands.â Hearing that, Mrs. Cohen frowned in anger. âWhat do you mean? Are you going to chase us out with a little benefit like this?!â
Mrs. Cohan complained, âWe worked hard to raise our daughter. We donât expect you to treat her like a princess, but that doesnât mean you can hurt her! Weâre just asking for an explanation now. Weâre not asking for compensation! What did you do to force her into this state?â
âWhatâ¦â Wendy felt troubled. She turned to Guinevere and said sincerely, âGwen, let us know if weâve done something wrong. We really donât quite understand why you suddenly became emotionally unstable.â
Wendy looked sincere and admitted her negligence immediately. âI shouldâve seen this coming Women are naturally more sensitive during postpartum. I paid too much attention to Zack and neglected you while Weston has been busy with work lately. Iâm sorryâ¦â
Wendy walked to Guinevere and held her hand kindly, but Guinevere subconsciously tried to retract her hand.
Guinevere gave it a thought and knew she was going to live with Wendy for the rest of her life. She would not go home with her parents. Therefore, she held back and relented. She did not resist Wendy and said in a docile manner, âI understandâ¦â âWeâve gotten along well, so you can talk to me about anything.â Wendy treated Guinevere gently like her own daughter. Mrs. Cohenâs mood eased a little after seeing that Guinevere seemed to be on good terms with Wendy. âAnyway, we didnât send our daughter here to suffer. She got pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to a child. Weâre already very upset about thisâ¦â Mrs. Cohen emphasized, âIf Gwen hadnât insisted on marrying Weston, we wouldnât have agreed with this.â
Mrs. Cohen would rather force Guinevere into an abortion. She would not allow her to be so cheap.
Getting pregnant out of wedlock was a disgrace in both ordinary and prestigious families. Sure enough, they could cover up this matter with the power of their families. However, they still did not get married after the child was born. The news would get out one day. If this became a scandal in high society, it would affect both families adversely.
People would know that Weston reneged on his promise. They would know that Guinevere tried to marry Weston with her child, but he refused.
As time went on this would obviously hurt Guinevereâs reputation more. Perhaps, she might have to live with the scandal for the rest of her life. People would say that Guinevere came to Weston with a child, but Weston did not want them.
This would become the Cohen familyâs disgrace. How could they maintain their pride in the circle then?
