If Stella merely wanted fame by disclosing their relationship , he didn’t mind indulging her – he did not
want to see her fake a smile again.
However, he came to a sudden realization from her reaction.
Weston finally remembered that Stella was very concerned about her identity. She did not want to be a
third party in the relationship. She almost fell into depression because of this matter.
Even though she was his rightful wife, Guinevere’s presence remained an issue to her. She valued the
outsider’s view of her too much.
It wasn’t something he understood , but Weston did not want to see Stella depressed. Therefore, he
told her to stay out of it. He would take care of the rest.
Stella desperately wanted to leave. She said nothing and turned to leave.
Guinevere wanted to go after her, but Weston withdrew his gaze and stopped her. “If you have
something to say, say it here.”
He did not allow her to go after Stella. She was trouble.
Guinevere stopped dead in her tracks.
Back in the living room.
Stella strode with large steps as if something was chasing her. She walked so quickly her ankle began
hurting again.
Wendy happened to be looking for her. When she saw her coming her way, she hurriedly stopped her.
“Why are you walking so fast? Your foot is still injured. Walk slower!”
Stella stopped. “I’m a little unwell. I’d like to leave…”
“What are you saying?” Wendy took her arm with a smile and refused to let her go. “I haven’t made the
important announcement yet. Just bear with me. I’ll have Weston take you home later.”
Stella’s face turned ashen. After a short silence, she said, “ Guinevere’s parents found out about
Weston and me.”
“What?” Wendy was a little surprised. Then, her face turned gloomy too. She sighed. “Can’t help it, I
suppose,” she sighed. “They were bound to find out sooner or later.”
The butler came forward with Zachary in his arms.“ Madam…”
Wendy looked at the child with a complicated look.“
They’re stuck because of this child.” After she said that, she looked at Stella and comforted her, “But
don’t worry. Weston will take care of it.”
As they spoke, there was a sudden commotion in the hallway on the second floor.
Stella looked toward the origin of the noise.
“What happened?” Wendy asked.
Chris also heard the news. He was supposed to give a speech for Zachary’s birthday, but it had to be
postponed-all sessions were put on hold.
Mr. and Mrs. Cohen were making a lot of noise up there, demanding to see Warren.
Chris was about to rush over. Then, she saw Wendy and Stella standing together. He walked up to
them with a grim face. “Dad’s got something to discuss with the in laws. You stay here with Zachary.”.
He was speaking to Wendy, but he directed the cold tone at Stella.
Stella sensed his hostility, but she knew this was Weston’s father, and she said nothing.
Wendy glanced at her once, then nodded at Chris. He asked, “What happened?”
“I’m not sure. Anyway, you take care of Zachary,” Chris said and glanced at Stella several times.
When he saw that she was not paying attention to him, he shifted his gaze away.
