Thankfully, the kidnapper remained in a coma and
showed no signs of ever waking up. The doctor said that he might possibly remain
a vegetable for the rest of his life. In that case, she had nothing to worry about.. She just needed to occ
asionally check
in on him. “Ms. Cohen, be assured that we will update you if anything happens to that man.” “Alright. Le
ave me.” Guinevere felt much better. When she
returned to the hall, she saw Wendy walking toward her. Wendy tried to ignore her, but the proud look o
n Guinevere‘s face made her halt. “You‘re just going to register your marriage
tomorrow. Is there a need to be so haughty?” Guinevere stopped in her tracks, clearly sensing the moc
kery in Wendy‘s tone. What Wendy said reminded her about Weston promising to formally register their
wedding, and tomorrow was the deadline. That made her even happier. “You‘re
right. We‘re going to register our marriage
tomorrow and I should be resting today or I won‘t look good in the photos.”
Wendy‘s face darkened
as she scoffed. She remained silent and passed Guinevere on her way to Zack‘s room.
Guinevere called her, “Mom, are you going to see Zack?”
Wendy stopped in her tracks and
shot Guinevere a cold glare. “Who‘re you calling ‘mom‘?” “Since I‘m officially getting married to Weston
tomorrow, I was calling you, of course...” Guinevere provoked with a smile.
She had always treated Wendy with slight trepidation, but perhaps because things have been going ver
y smoothly for her as of late, that pride got the better
of her. Wendy suddenly stopped in front of her and shot her a cold look before lifting her hand up high.
Guinevere immediately covered her face and shrank. “What are you trying to do? Hit me again?!”
Wendy smiled at Guinevere‘s sudden reaction as
her hand gently patted Guinevere‘s hair.“ What are you so scared of? I was just trying to straighten you
r slightly messy hair, that‘s all.” Guinevere glared at her, not believing for a second that she would be so
kind–hearted.
Wendy suddenly
became so gracious, treating Guinevere as if she was her own daughter. Her eves were filled
with love as she caressed her face. “You‘re about to marry Weston and become
like a daughter to me. Since I promised your parents to treat you well, I must get along with
you.”
Guinevere was stunned, feeling at a loss as to what Wendy said.
The day
her parents came over demanding an explanation, Wendy put up quite a show, pretending that they we

But she knew clearly that she was simply acting in front of her parents for the
sake of maintaining the alliance between both families.
Guinevere didn‘t expose Wendy‘s act, simply because she truly wanted to marry Weston. For his sake, s
