He could not say it out loud because of his pride. All he could do was glance at Mrs. Cohen for a
moment. A woman was more suitable to intervene in such matters.
Mrs. Cohen understood this. She looked at Guinevere gently and sighed. “Your father and I certainly
wish for the best for you. It‘ll be great if you can stay with Weston happily. Your happiness is more
important than anything...!!! Guinevere breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes were a bit red. “Thank you,
Mom.”
“But...” Mrs. Cohen dragged her words. Guinevere‘s expression changed when she heard that. Mrs.
Cohen said, “Marriage is not as simple as dating. This is a big thing. Are you sure you want to marry
Weston?”
“I am!” Guinevere answered quickly and firmly.
She looked at Weston and repeated, “I am.‘‘
Weston did not respond. He only looked at her and glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Cohen. “It seems that you
two still have many considerations.”
Mrs. Cohen nodded and said solemnly, “This is not a matter of mutual interest... We‘re more concerned
about our daughter‘s happiness in the future.
“After all, marriage is not the same as falling in love. Gwen has given birth to Zack, but we can afford to
raise a child. We don‘t want you to neglect Gwen because of this matter...”
Wendy had to interject. “I thought we had an agreement! I‘ll treat Guinevere like my own daughter. She
has been living here this whole time. I‘m sure she can tell, right?” Then, she looked at Guinevere.
Guinevere nodded hurriedly, “Yes. Dad, Mom, they‘ve been very nice to me all this while. I‘m sure
they‘ll treat me like their own daughter when I marry Weston...”
Her urgency was written all over her face.
Mrs. Cohen suddenly softened and glanced at Mr. Cohen. She also wanted her daughter to be happy.
She might consider taking the risk if these interests could be set aside. However, men‘s thinking was
different from a woman‘s.
Mr. Cohen shook his head firmly. He looked at Guinevere and said sternly, “Are you sure? The Cohen
Family is your backbone at all times. If you have any grievances, you can just say so.”
Wendy did not like hearing what he said. “We‘ve discussed it and agreed to it. Why are you changing
your mind at this point?”
The two families were the only ones present here. They maintained a peaceful facade at the start of
negotiations, but it seemed like they were opening up to reality when it came to this. Mr. Cohen lowered
the glasses on the bridge of his nose. “Here‘s the deal...”
He breathed a sigh and said, “I‘ll be frank. With our close ties, I‘m sure there‘s no need to beat around
the bush. Mutual benefit is always the best expression of goodwill. We‘re not demanding your family‘s
concessions, but on this project...”
He suddenly pointed to the document in his hand and looked at Weston. “Weston has a complete plan
in Fern City. We all know that. Many shareholders in our company are optimistic about this project.
Therefore, I just need a word from you!
“What if the plan goes wrong? Will we be able to get out of this if Gwen marries you?”
According to the law, there was a high risk of losing everything if a project failed, especially when it was
a jo nt property between a married couple.
Otherwise, they might even be trapped, immobilizing all their shares.
Mr. Cohen was in the critical period of winning succession in the Cohen Company.
He would not allow himself to be trapped by such a big mistake like this. Others might use this to
downplay him. Therefore, he was critically cautious with the matter of his daughter‘s marriage.
