Weston kept disturbing her from behind. She grabbed the back of his hand and tensed up. She wanted him to finish quickly. Weston hissed and slapped her on the back again.
âDonât mess around.â
âWhoâs messing around now?â Her body stiffened with irritation.
Westonâs face changed. He kept kissing her back and finally slowed down a little.
At last, Stella could hear the noise outside. Indeed, it was Guinevere who was sobbing. Chris looked at Guinevere helplessly. âDonât worry. Iâll talk to him. The women out there are just new playthings for him.
Donât take them seriously.â
âBut Wendy brought her back todayâ¦â âHuh? Is Ella the woman who came with Wendy today? What!â
Chris became annoyed too.âSince when did she get so close to Wendy?â Guinevere shook her head. âI donât know. Maybe Wendy has never really liked meâ¦â
âYouâre getting married to Weston in six months. Weâll be a family soon. How could she not like you?â
Chris retorted instinctively.
Guinevere suddenly looked at Chris with tears in her eyes. âYouâll support me, right?â âOf course!
Youâre the only one whoâs worthy as our daughter-in-law.â
Guinevere suddenly stepped forward and rested her head against his shoulder. âThank you⦠I donât know what I wouldâve done without your supportâ¦â
At the same time, in the guest room.
Stella pursed her lips. Her eyes were in a trance. She felt that the conversation between Guinevere and Chris outside was becoming stranger. The way Guinevere and Chris spoke to each other⦠their tone of speech⦠It sounded like there were some romantic elements.
Weston noticed that Stella was distracted. He was displeased. âWhy are you thinking about someone elseâs matter at a time like this?â
Stella sputtered, âYouâre the one whoâs deliberately⦠Mmmâ¦â
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of footsteps outside. The two outside seemed to have left.
Stella breathed a sigh of relief, only to be rewarded by Westonâs increasingly unrestrained punishment.
This was Zacharyâs birthday party. Both the Ford and Cohen families were the main stars today.
However, the Cohen family was the center of discussion at the event most of the time.
âI heard your company made this much from the western suburbs project!â
Someone came up to Mr. Cohen and wagged his fingers.
Mr. Cohen waved his hand with a smile. âWhere did you hear that from? Thatâs an exaggeration.â
âItâs not an exaggeration at all.â The crowd who gathered around Mr. Cohen congratulated him. Most of them had forgotten that it was Zacharyâs birthday party. âWhen the stock market opened yesterday , your stock was up big time! Your company garnered more attention than the Ford family. Your son-in-
law is really impressive.â
âWell, Iâve entrusted him with my baby girl. This is only normal!â Mr. Cohen laughed joyfully. Wendy had overheard their conversation from the side. She held Zachary in her arms and had a meaningful smile.
She looked at Warren beside her. âWeston respected them and gave them a big share of benefits. Are they flaunting their prosperity now? In the past, they were begging us for cooperation, but theyâre so arrogant now The Cohen family had refused to let Weston and Guinevere get married right away because of their benefits and personal interests. However, they were unwilling to give up the western suburbs project too. As a result, they were reluctant to finalize the marriage and kept worrying about the possible changes between Weston and Guinevere.
After they had achieved their goal, they had started to make things difficult , especially regarding the matters relating to Guinevereâs marriage. Previously, they kept thinking about how to strengthen Guinevereâs relationship with Weston. After getting what they wanted, they refused to say a word about the marriage.
Warren was a smart man. He could clearly see the change in their attitude. He smiled and did not comment. âBy the way, whereâs Chris?â
