Chris stopped in his tracks and looked around a few times. Then, he answered, shaking his head,
“Hear what? It’s just the two of us here. I checked when I came over. No one else is here.”
Chris was always cautious about meeting Guinevere. He did not want anyone to see him with
Guinevere alone.
Guinevere breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good that no one saw…”
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 situation…
As he thought of that, he felt a little sorry for Guinevere. He could not help but ask, “You and Weston…
How’s your relationship been these days?”
Guinevere kept her head down. When he asked that question, she felt a sudden urge to cry. Her nose
was a little sore. “We’re actually…” Her eyes reddened, and her voice was a little nasally.
Chris paused and hesitated a little. “What’s wrong? Did he treat you badly?”
Guinevere was already aggrieved before. When she heard his question, she rasped, “I think he doesn’t
love me as much as he used to…”
“What makes you say that all of a sudden?” Chris frowned.
Guinevere sounded depressed. “Do you know? He has a woman outside.”
Chris had heard about Bella’s incident before. He fell into a short silence and told Guinevere, “Don’t
take it to heat. It’s impossible for Weston to have any feelings for her. It’s just a game at most.”
“Really?” Guinevere rubbed her eyes and laughed at herself. “But I think he loves her a lot… That girl’s
showing off to me, saying how much Weston loves her…”
“That woman has the audacity to speak to you like that?” Chris found it unbelievable. “The women from
Lowe Garden are at most a high-class plaything. How could she be so bold?!”
Guinevere knew Chris had misunderstood. “I didn’t mean
Belle… I meant Ella.”
“Ella?”
“Yes. She’s an actress in our cast. Weston seems to fancy her a lot. He has been spending a lot of time
with her all this while…”
At the same time, inside the guest room.
Stella found the conversation between Chris and Guinevere hilarious . “Is she complaining to your
dad?”
Stella did not expect the high and mighty Guinevere to tell Chris about Weston.
Weston kissed her nape and muttered, “Are you scared?”
“Why should I be scared?” Stella said, “He’s not my dad. You should be the one who’s worried. They
might do something to you…”
“Don’t worry. I have a way to deal with it.” Weston’s voice was low and magnetic. He sounded arrogant
and said in disdain, “Don’t worry about me.”
Stella thought it was funny. “Why should I be worried about you? Ah…”
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!
“Don’t look at me like that…” Weston looked down and whispered in her ears, “I’d think you’re asking
for more.”
“You’re shameless !” Stella said through clenched teeth.
Weston chuckled in a low voice. “Thanks for the compliment.”
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 Weston’s teasing action behind her. Somehow, she could not
hear Guinevere and Chris’s 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.
