Seeing her daughter so aggrieved, Mrs. Cohen frowned.
“Weston, I know you’ve always been a good boy. Have you been under too much pressure at work
lately? Are you emotionally unstable? I heard some gossip…. Anyway, you need to rest and spend
more time with your family.”
Weston was known to be the dream lover of the rich ladies in the circle. Unlike the immature rich kids,
his focus was mostly on work.
He was destined to be a step above the rest from birth. He did not waste his talent and resources,
leaving his peers far behind.
It was rare for someone of his current age to master and control the core business of his family. As a
result, whenever the parents were lecturing their disobedient children, they would use Weston as an
example and tell them to learn from him.
Wealthy families were most afraid of the existence of illegitimate children. They shared the same
inheritance rights with other children. A rich lady would certainly consider the man’s private life when
choosing a husband. If an illegitimate child somehow appeared one day, it might threaten the status of
their biological children.
Weston was known to be abstinent from women. All these years, Guinevere had been the only woman
by his side. To many, he was considered a loyal and dedicated lover.
However, there were some rumors about Weston’s past. Weston had another woman with him, but she
disappeared. No one knew if the rumor was true, or if they covered it up.
It was a matter between the two children. As parents, they could not interfere too much. However, they
had to voice their views about their daughter’s marriage. “Actually, we know you’re not that kind of man.
The rumors out there can be quite unpleasant. It may also affect your reputation. All Guinevere and you
need now is just the marriage certificate and wedding ceremony. As long as you two have a good
relationship, the rumors will go away. The wedding will be a long process. Why don’t you register your
marriage first?” Mrs. Cohen put forward her request in a casual tone.
Guinevere was a little nervous and looked at the man beside her.
Weston’s eyes remained inexplicable. He did not agree to nor refuse their suggestion. After a long
moment, he finally said, “I don’t have a problem with it, but getting a certificate is not child’s play. It’ll
involve our assets and other issues. I’ll let the professionals handle it.”
This was indeed a problem worth considering. Guinevere’s parents did not object. “Indeed. It’s the
union of two families, and some things need to be made clear.”
“Also, another thing…” Weston paused and looked at Guinevere. “I’ll have someone arrange a
premarital medical examination as soon as possible so that we’re responsible for each other.”
Hearing this, Guinevere became puzzled. “We have a child already. Is there a need to do such a test?”
“It’s just a part of the marriage process. Why shouldn’t we do it? You may have a child already, but we
can get to know each other’s health better this way.”
He had a point, but Guinnevere found it strange. However, since he finally yielded to their requests, she
could only nod and agree. “Then we’ll do as you say.”
The conversation this time was pleasant. Guinevere’s parents did not stay any longer.
Before leaving, Mrs. Cohen told Guinevere to stay. “We’ll leave first. Spend some quality time with
Weston.”
Guinevere stood at the door and sent them both out. When she closed the door and turned
around, she saw Weston standing behind her. He looked at her coldly with no expression on his face.
