Guinevere sounded a little angry. âWeâre getting married soon. Shouldnât we discuss these together?â
Weston remained silent and fixed his dark gaze on her. Guinevere looked at his eyes and suddenly became a little obsessed. It was those eyes and that handsome face that enchanted her throughout her youth.
Weston was a very desirable man. Why else would she have done something so stupid just to get his attention?
She was too young and dumb. She could do anything to make him look at her.
When she thought about it again, it was indeed really ridiculous. However, what was done was done.
Guinevere refused to turn back.
Although he pushed her away, she immediately hugged his waist again in the next second.â Youâve been really cold to me lately. You werenât like this beforeâ¦â
âIâve always been like this,â Weston reminded her again.
âN-Noâ¦â Guinevere cut him off. âYou used to be more patient with me. Why canât you even spare a moment for me now?â
âBecause Iâm busy with the Fern City projects.â âIs that so?â Guinevere murmured, âMy birthday is coming soon. Will you celebrate my birthday with me?â
Weston said nothing.
Guinevere closed her eyes. She bit the bullet and said cruelly, âMy parents just called yesterday and asked about my birthday plans. I told them youâd accompany me to a charity dinnerâ¦â Weston suddenly stared at her as a cold glint flashed past in his eyes. âDid you decide for me before telling me?â
âIâm sorry. My parents kept asking me⦠They were afraid that I was having a bad time here, so I panicked and made up an excuse in a hurry⦠âItâs okay. Even if you donât go to the charity dinner, there are other waysâ¦â She noticed the manâs anger and quickly changed her words. âI can arrange another plan. You just have to cooperate with me, okay?â She had suddenly become so timid that Weston barely knew her anymore. âIs this the life you really want?â he asked suddenly.
Guinevere was slightly startled. She was unsure why he had suddenly asked that. âOf course. Marrying you was a dream I had since I was a kid.â
âWeâre not married yet.â
âI know, but itâs only a matter of time, isnât it?â Guinevere said with a smile, âWeâre just like any other married couples nowâ¦â
Weston rubbed his eyebrows and sat on the sofa. He casually placed his suit jacket on the back of the sofa chair and asked with a heavy tone, âWhat are ordinary couples like?»
Guinevere did not expect this question from him and paused for a moment. Then, she slowly walked up to him and said, âJust like your parents. Weâll be like them in the future. Weâll still love each other even at old age.â
Weston laughed at what she said.
He had a pair of beautiful eyes. His smile made him more charming than his usual serious and cold look.
Guinevere looked at him in a daze. However, she sobered up when she noticed his unsmiling expression. âWhat were you laughing at?â. âNothing. I just thought it was funny.â Weston stood up. âIâve got work to do at the office. Since you both are alright, Iâll be going.â
âWait⦠Are you leaving already?â Guinevere was surprised. She hurriedly stood up after him.â I thought youâd stay overnight.â
Weston did not say anything. He glanced at the watch and explained, âI have to get the Fern City project moving. Besides, your parents canât wait any longer. The quarterly reports have to be sent to them. If we donât make it on time, youâll be the ones who suffer.â When he said that, Guinevere had no other reasons to keep him. She could only withdraw her hand angrily. âI see.â
