Chapter 402 With that, Guinevere asked her assistant to present Stella with a welcome gift.
Each of the crew received an ordinary gift box, but this time, Stella received a wedding favor that Guinevere had given out previously.
Her assistant brought over a red gift box and handed it to Stella.
Stella did not immediately receive the gift, which made Guinevere appear to think of something, âOh yes, I forgot. This is Weston and my wedding gift. Itâs just a little token that we prepared for everyone in the crew to share our joy. I previously distributed it to the team, but Iâm not sure if you received it. I want to make sure that you receive your portion...â
Ensuring that Stella received her portion was just an excuse for Guinevere to show off in front of her.
Stella remained calm and composed even as she witnessed Guinevere doing all she could to declare her ownership over Weston, She reached out to receive the gift, after which Guinevere released her hand and said, â Apologies, I have to take a call, Please wait for a while...â
Stella said nothing further. She simply stood where she was and looked on expressionlessly as Guinevere spoke over the phone.
Guinevere turned to her side and said sweetly into the phone, âYes, Iâm already at work. Donât worry. The crew treats me very well. Weston, donât worry about me and take care of yourself...â
âDidnât we just meet yesterday? You donât need to fetch me, really. Donât worry!â
Her grumbling, groveling tone clearly reeked of pride. âWhy are you so annoying? Iâve already said things are going pretty well on set and that Iâm well taken care of. Donât be so worried...â
âAlright, Iâll head home early once Iâm done. Donât bother visiting the set to see me. Iâm not a kid...â
She went on a while before finally hanging up.
She then said apologetically to Stella, âI apologize for that.â
She pointed to her phone, âThat was Weston. Today is the first day Iâm officially back at work, so heâs rather concerned.â Everyone could tell that Guinevere was deliberately showing off. Whatever it was, she did have the ability to show off.
Weston was her husband, after all.
Even ordinary men might not dote on their wives so much. Yet who was Weston Ford? He was the most powerful man in Ahn City who could command the winds and the waves, no less.
All along, he had Guinevere as his only woman, and he had cared so much for her.
People who wanted to get jealous found themselves in no position to do so.
Stella remained silent, unable to figure out what she was feeling inside.
Just yesterday night, Weston had been lying right next to her.
Guinevere was lying.
Given her personality, she wouldnât say such obvious lies if Weston called.
The call was probably not even from Weston. She should have found Guinevere amusing, to say the least, but had instead found her pitiful and miserable.
How could someone as proud as her end up behaving like this?
If she were Guinevere, she wouldnât waste her time with a man like Weston Ford, no matter how much she loved him.
And in the process, losing her dignity...
In the hospital.
Henry stared at his phone. Did he call the wrong number? Yet, he was sure that it was Guinevereâs number he dialed. After hearing that bunch of nonsense from her, he finally figured out that she was probably trying to show off how much Weston cared for her to someone.
The corners of his lips curved upward into a mocking smile.
Guinevere did seem to be more anxious during this period, and he didnât want to expose her.â Since youâre busy, Iâll hang up.â
Silence ensued in the room once more.
