Guinevere was still unwed. The two families had just come to terms, and this suddenly happened to her.
Emotionally unstable? How ridiculous!
To the Cohen family, Guinevere was the best since childhood. Many young men of caliber were after her, and she was worthy of Weston. How could she suddenly have mental problems before her marriage? Mr. Cohenâs consideration was more realistic than the womenâs. He thought of the benefits of the marriage and looked at Chris soberly. âMr. Ford, you can speak to us about any problem in our business cooperation. Anyway, weâll become in-laws soon. Please let us know if thereâs any issue from our side.
âGwen is just an actress. We donât agree with her career in the entertainment industry, but she doesnât know anything about the familyâs business. Sheâll marry Weston soon and become part of your family. If thereâs any problem, come to us directly. Donât take it out on her.â
Mr. Cohen was straightforward with his words.
Chrisâ face changed when he heard that. He said, âMr. Cohen, you must be joking. How can our cooperation affect their relationship?â
The Cohen family came to question them, but both families knew there was no conflict of interests between them. The main conflict was between Guinevere and Weston.
How could Mr. Cohen not see that? He was just testing them.
Mr. Cohen was pleased with Chrisâ positive reply. He said in relief, âIâm glad to hear that. Our families have known each other for a long time. We do trust you, but Gwenâs situationâ¦â
âDonât worry. Weâll take responsibility.â Chris said, âNo matter whether theyâre married or not, weâll treat her as our daughter. Sheâll always be Zackâs mother, and this will never change.â
This was what Mr. Cohen wanted to see. He said, âI hope you wonât forget what you said today.â
âOf course not.â
The two men had reached an understanding. Wendy looked at Mrs. Cohen and said sincerely, âSorry for making you both worry about this matter. Anyway, Iâll treat Gwen like my daughter Even if sheâs found to have some mental illness, everything that was agreed upon will not changeâ¦â
With Wendyâs promise, Mr. and Mrs. Cohen had both achieved their goal. They knew when to stop.
After all, they came this time to give Guinevere support. They were not here to burn any bridges Since the Ford family had already shown their attitude towards the matter, the Cohen family stopped complaining. âI hope this wonât happen again. We know our daughter bestâ¦â
They paused and added, âPostpartum depression is a very common problem. You have to pay attention to this.â âOf course. Weâll do our best to treat her. Donât worry about this,â Wendy promised sincerely. Mrs. Cohen was relieved to hear this. At last, the drama came to an end. No one asked Westonâs opinion throughout the discussion. They only remembered him when he could help to clean up the mess for them. Chris, in particular, always treated Weston this way. Seeing that everything was under control, he breathed a sigh of relief and acted like the boss.
Weston watched the show emotionlessly. His unreadable gaze occasionally landed on Guinevere before moving away. Guinevere finally calmed down, then the two families sat down on both sides of the sofa and peacefully discussed the resolution.
Guinevere sat next to Mrs. Cohen and occasionally glanced at Weston. Seeing that, Mrs. Cohen could not help but say meaningfully, âIf you want to sit with Weston, you can go there.â
Mrs. Cohen said this on purpose. It was clear that she was urging them to get married.
