With that, Guinevere asked her assistant to present Stella with a welcome gift.
Each of the crew received an ordinary gift box, but this time, Stella received a wedding favor that
Guinevere had given out previously.
Her assistant brought over a red gift box and handed it to Stella.
Stella did not immediately receive the gift, which made Guinevere appear to think of something, “Oh yes,
I forgot. This is Weston and my wedding gift. It‘s just a little token that we prepared for everyone in the
crew to share our joy. I previously distributed it to the team, but I‘m not sure if you received it. I want to
make sure that you receive your portion...”
Ensuring that Stella received her portion was just an excuse for Guinevere to show off in front of her.
Stella remained calm and composed even as she witnessed Guinevere doing all she could to declare her
ownership over Weston,
She reached out to receive the gift, after which Guinevere released her hand and said, ” Apologies, I
have to take a call, Please wait for a while...”
Stella said nothing further. She simply stood where she was and looked on expressionlessly as
Guinevere spoke over the phone.
Guinevere turned to her side and said sweetly into the phone, “Yes, I‘m already at work. Don‘t worry. The
crew treats me very well. Weston, don‘t worry about me and take care of yourself...”
“Didn‘t we just meet yesterday? You don‘t need to fetch me, really. Don‘t worry!”
Her grumbling, groveling tone clearly reeked of pride. “Why are you so annoying? I‘ve already said things
are going pretty well on set and that I‘m well taken care of. Don‘t be so worried...”
“Alright, I‘ll head home early once I’m done. Don‘t bother visiting the set to see me. I‘m not a kid...”
She went on a while before finally hanging up.
She then said apologetically to Stella, “I apologize for that.”
She pointed to her phone, “That was Weston. Today is the first day I‘m officially back at work, so he‘s
rather concerned.” Everyone could tell that Guinevere was deliberately showing off. Whatever it was, she
did have the ability to show off.
Weston was her husband, after all.
Even ordinary men might not dote on their wives so much. Yet who was Weston Ford? He was the most
powerful man in Ahn City who could command the winds and the waves, no less.
All along, he had Guinevere as his only woman, and he had cared so much for her.
People who wanted to get jealous found themselves in no position to do so.
Stella remained silent, unable to figure out what she was feeling inside.
Just yesterday night, Weston had been lying right next to her.
Guinevere was lying.
Given her personality, she wouldn‘t say such obvious lies if Weston called.
The call was probably not even from Weston. She should have found Guinevere amusing, to say the
least, but had instead found her pitiful and miserable.
How could someone as proud as her end up behaving like this?
If she were Guinevere, she wouldn‘t waste her time with a man like Weston Ford, no matter how much
she loved him.
And in the process, losing her dignity...
In the hospital.
Henry stared at his phone. Did he call the wrong number? Yet, he was sure that it was Guinevere‘s
number he dialed. After hearing that bunch of nonsense from her, he finally figured out that she was
probably trying to show off how much Weston cared for her to someone.
The corners of his lips curved upward into a mocking smile.
Guinevere did seem to be more anxious during this period, and he didn‘t want to expose her.” Since
you‘re busy, I‘ll hang up.”
Silence ensued in the room once more.
