Chris stopped in his tracks and looked around a few times. Then, he answered, shaking his head, âHear what? Itâs just the two of us here. I checked when I came over. No one else is here.â
Chris was always cautious about meeting Guinevere. He did not want anyone to see him with Guinevere alone.
Guinevere breathed a sigh of relief. âItâs good that no one sawâ¦â
Both of them were speaking in an implicit manner, seemingly guilt-ridden.
Chris was especially remorseful. Whenever he looked at Guinevere, he could not help but regret his impulsiveness.
If he had controlled himself that night, he would not be stuck in this passive situationâ¦
As he thought of that, he felt a little sorry for Guinevere. He could not help but ask, âYou and Westonâ¦
Howâs your relationship been these days?â
Guinevere kept her head down. When he asked that question, she felt a sudden urge to cry. Her nose was a little sore. âWeâre actuallyâ¦â Her eyes reddened, and her voice was a little nasally.
Chris paused and hesitated a little. âWhatâs wrong? Did he treat you badly?â
Guinevere was already aggrieved before. When she heard his question, she rasped, âI think he doesnât love me as much as he used toâ¦â
âWhat makes you say that all of a sudden?â Chris frowned.
Guinevere sounded depressed. âDo you know? He has a woman outside.â
Chris had heard about Bellaâs incident before. He fell into a short silence and told Guinevere, âDonât take it to heat. Itâs impossible for Weston to have any feelings for her. Itâs just a game at most.â
âReally?â Guinevere rubbed her eyes and laughed at herself. âBut I think he loves her a lot⦠That girlâs showing off to me, saying how much Weston loves herâ¦â
âThat woman has the audacity to speak to you like that?â Chris found it unbelievable. âThe women from Lowe Garden are at most a high-class plaything. How could she be so bold?!â
Guinevere knew Chris had misunderstood. âI didnât mean Belle⦠I meant Ella.â
âElla?â
âYes. Sheâs an actress in our cast. Weston seems to fancy her a lot. He has been spending a lot of time with her all this whileâ¦â
At the same time, inside the guest room.
Stella found the conversation between Chris and Guinevere hilarious . âIs she complaining to your dad?â
Stella did not expect the high and mighty Guinevere to tell Chris about Weston.
Weston kissed her nape and muttered, âAre you scared?â
âWhy should I be scared?â Stella said, âHeâs not my dad. You should be the one whoâs worried. They might do something to youâ¦â
âDonât worry. I have a way to deal with it.â Westonâs voice was low and magnetic. He sounded arrogant and said in disdain, âDonât worry about me.â
Stella thought it was funny. âWhy should I be worried about you? Ahâ¦â
Her tone changed as soon as she finished her sentence.
Weston acted as if he was deliberately punishing her and making her unable to speak.
Stella glared at him angrily. She had never seen such an evil man!
âDonât look at me like thatâ¦â Weston looked down and whispered in her ears, âIâd think youâre asking for more.â
âYouâre shameless !â Stella said through clenched teeth.
Weston chuckled in a low voice. âThanks for the compliment.â
Stella closed her eyes and refused to speak anymore.
The voices outside the door were getting softer.
Stella was unsure if it was because of Westonâs teasing action behind her. Somehow, she could not hear Guinevere and Chrisâs conversation anymore.
All she knew was Guinevere started crying a few moments later. She heard her sobs.
Stella eased her breathing and tried to listen in on their conversion. She wondered if she was mistaken , but for some reason, she felt that there was something weird between Chris and Guinevere.
