Stella's sudden change caused the atmosphere to turn a little awkward. Guinevere shot her a look of
disgust and resentment, but she quickly suppressed her emotions.
“I don’t want to trouble Ms.Sealey.I haven't seen Zack for a while, so I hope to spend some quality time
with him in the next two days…”
“Mom just said she wanted me to spend more time with him, didn't she?" Stella refuted Guinevere with
a smile.
"You've had so much time with him before; I think you must be very close to him.Please, give me a
chance to get along with him."
Guinevere pursed her lips, looking dissatisfied and unhappy.
Although true that she had a lot of time to spend with Zachary, she never thought about him at that
time.She was either hovering around Weston or trying to get rid of this woman in front of her.
Even when she was free, the thought of Zachary never crossed her mind.
"I don't think there are mothers who would mind spending a lot of time with their biological child, right?”
Wendy was clearly on Stella’s side.
This truly upset Guinevere.
"Because I know you'll take care of Zach no matter what.I trust you!" She couldn't understand why
Wendy kept rejecting her and could never see her as one of her own.
At first, she thought they were of different personalities, a typical problem between mothers and their
daughters -in-law.
However, looking at Wendy's attitude towards Stella, it was clear that Stella had become her target!
“Are you trying to say that you can't trust Stella ?” Wendy appeared to add some fuel to the fire.
"Didn't you say before that they have your full blessings?" she sneered.
“I didn’t mean that…” Guinevere defended herself.
“Of course, they have my blessings, but I just..."
"Then why are you complaining so much? I’m happy that Stella is willing to look after Zack! He'll be
calling her Mom sooner or later.It'll be good if they start to bond so early!” Wendy’s words struck
Guinevere hard.
Her face turned white as the words hit her at her softest spots: her child calling Stella “Mom” someday.
Guinevere could not accept it.Her blood boiled at the very thought.She had to grit her teeth to keep
herself from cursing out loud.
“Zack is still young.There'll be no need for that.”
"He's young, which is why we need to let him spend more time with Stella! We want him to treat Stella
like his own mother.How old is he now? Hey, good stepmothers exist too.If the child stays with its
stepmother from a young age, she’ll be no different from its biological mother!” Wendy reasoned.
