Chapter 971: Chapter 973

"I'll hold him." Wendy came out and walked to Guinevere. She said faintly, “If he’s not happy, he’ll probably cry again later.There'll be so many guests, and it won't look good on us.”

Guinevere had always been impatient.She would only try to get along with Zachary when she was in front of everyone.

Naturally, Wendy’s words made her happy.

Guinevere gladly accepted her help.

“Well, I’ll be troubling Mom…Aunt.” She changed how she referred to Wendy at the spur of the moment, as if by accident.

"Maybe they'll be together in the future..." people whispered when they overheard what she said.

“After all, they’re the child’s parents.Although they're separated now, no one knows what'll happen in the future.”

“They’re a good match.That girl Stella is just some Cinderella.He may be interested in her for now, but I still have faith in Guinevere.”

“Don’t say that.It'll piss someone off..."

"What's wrong with that? It's fine so long she can’t hear us.” Zeta was drinking at a corner.

When she overheard the conversation, she couldn't help but frown.

Undoubtedly, such things wouldn’t be said in public.

All they could do was gossip behind someone’s back.

Zeta glanced at the well - dressed Weston not far away, who was at the center of attention and felt uncomfortable.She felt bad for Stella’s situation.

There was a knock on the door of the room on the second floor.

Stella thought Weston was back, but she saw Wendy with Zachary instead when she got to the door.

This left her a little puzzled.

“Wendy, you…”

“Sorry.Did I disturb you?" Wendy took Zachary and smiled at her.

“I’m swamped with all that’s going on down there.I was wondering if you could watch Zack for me?"

Stella pursed her lips.

"Where's Guinevere? I remember seeing her."

"Stella..."

Wendy's expression changed.

"Actually, I shouldn't be saying this, but you're married to Weston.You’ll have to spend time with Zack eventually.Do you want to be called a mean stepmother?" Stella frowned and felt a little breathless.

'Stepmother...' Stella only wanted to be the mother of her own children.

Why should she mother another?

"Sorry, I rarely go out, and it might be better if he has his own mother take care of him.”

After saying that, Stella was about to close the door when the serious voice of an elderly man came from the end of the corridor.

"If she's unwilling, don't force her to look after him!” Warren appeared there at some point time with Weston and Guinevere around him.Stella looked at the man and woman walking over to her like a matching couple.

At first glance, she thought they were a couple.

An inexplicable smile curved along Stella's face, and she said nothing.

Warren came to her and said to Wendy solemnly, "You don’t have to beg someone to look after my great grandson!”

Weston frowned at Warren’s words.He strode to Stella's side and put his hand around her waist.

"Go to your room first," he whispered into her ear.

Stella looked over his shoulder and saw Guinevere behind him.Then, she suddenly arched her eyebrows and said, “.Grandpa’s right.I should get along with Zack.”

Stella smiled.

“I happen to like kids myself." Weston's grip on her waist tightened slowly, and his gaze grew obscure.
