But he always felt that Wendy had no reason to do that.
Moreover, she and Guinevere got along quite well, so there was no reason to hurt Guinevere for an
outsider.
He patted Guinevere’s shoulder. “It must be a misunderstanding . Don’t worry. I will not allow such a
woman to join our family.”
At that moment.
Stella stood on the stage and looked at the people with different expressions on their faces, but her
heart felt calm.
She saw Guinevere staring at her with resentment and many others watching in amusement. Not far
away, she saw a handsome man gazing at her sullenly.
Weston stood at the stairway, hidden in the shadows, just as Wendy announced that Stella was her
goddaughter. No one followed him. It was just him alone, standing tall and proud.
The man was holding a glass of champagne , donning his bespoke suit, exuding an indifference that
made people avoid him
His dark eyes were fixated on the woman on the stade,
They were calm at first, but then a storm was brewing in them. Nobody knew what went in his mind at
that moment.
Stella stared into his eyes, and her eyes flickered. In the end, she withdrew her gaze and ignored him.
“Thank you for coming today. I hope everyone enjoys the party!”
Before Wendy could finish her speech, Chris walked onto the stage and interrupted. He was laughing
and trying to smooth things over, not wanting to bring any more attention to Stella’s affairs.
Wendy just smiled and didn’t say anything, knowing that he was standing up for Guinevere.
But her purpose had been achieved, so she said nothing more and led Stella out of the hall.
“I shall check on Zachary first. You can take a look around.”
After getting off the stage, Wendy nodded to Stella, to which she replied, “Alright. I got it.”
She wanted to get some fresh air.
The atmosphere here was never right for her.
Just as she turned to leave, Weston followed her.
Stella knew that he had something to say but did not stop.
The moment they were on the balcony , Weston pinned her on the railings behind her.
“Stella.”
The man was calling her name in a deep voice. He titled her chin up. “Or should I call you… sister?”
Stella looked up. When she met his eyes, she laughed. “A brother will never do such a thing to his
sister.”
She stretched her hand and pointed at his chest. “And he will not do this in such a place. If someone
passes by and sees this, what will he think?”
“They’ve already seen it. What’s the point of talking about it now?” Weston suddenly lowered his head,
and his warm breath spread across her skin.
“Sister, sis…”
He purposely lowered his volume when he said that, exuding a hint of inexplicable affection.
Stella turned her head to another side.
She could hear his urgency but said calmly, “You heard what your mother said just now. I am now her
goddaughter, which makes your actions inappropriate.”
“They are,” “The man put his hands on her waist and tightened his hands gradually ; his eyes raged
with fire, He suppressed his anger, and his eyes turned dark into obscurity
After a while, he sniggered. “Would it be even more inappropriate if I sleep with my sister tonight?” She
frowned at once. “Get lost!”
