Wendy mentioned this before and wanted to take Zachary to the hospital for a check-up. It was
understandable to be worried about a child who still couldn’t speak after so long.
However, Warren quelled worries by assuring that all children of the Ford family were born brilliant.
Warren claimed that it was normal that a child couldn't talk even after he was a year old.He also
stressed that Wendy was worrying too much for nothing.
The elders who were of the older generation, however, still held on to their conservative belief that
children who weren’t so bright were a sign of bad luck.
Besides, Zachary was really young, so Wendy did not mention it much again.
Stella also thought that it was unlikely.She teased Zachary's face and said, “Maybe it'll just take him a
little time to say more.He seems quite smart.”
“He’s quite smart.I hope we were just overthinking the whole thing," Wendy said with a smile.
Weston relaxed a bit when he saw that they were getting along well and he gently brushed Stella’s hair.
Stella also looked up at him and gave him a reassuring smile.
“Don’t worry.I meant what I just said."
There was a pause, but Weston said nothing.His eyes seemed a little moved as he leaned over and
kissed her on the forehead.
Wendy could not stand watching them.She complained," If Guinevere were here, she'd be so pissed at
you two.”
Stella smiled, but the expression on her face remained the same.
“Didn't she say that the past is behind us? If she’s already let go, she didn’t have to be so angry…”
Wendy snickered.
“Do you really believe her? She's just another sly fox! Her acting skills aren’t that great anyway.”
Both Wendyand Guinevere had won the title of the best actress before.
People often put them together to compare them.
Ultimately, they were both involved with a Ford father and son.
Moreover, the mother-in-law and daughter-in law had similar acting experiences, so it was hard not to
relate them together.
Many people still compared them even after Weston cleared his relationship with Guinevere.
Wendy had never been bothered about people's opinions before, but after her relationship with Chris
destabilized into a hot and cold mess, she hated it when people compared her to Guinevere.
The birthday party was not just for Warren.It was a great opportunity to make connections.
Weston wasn't able to be with her at all times, but he was a little relieved to see that she was getting
along well with both Wendy and Zachary.
“Go do your thing.I’ll stay with Mom and Zack.We’ll be fine,” Stella said in his ear.
Stella was a little too obedient today.She did not just refer to Wendy as Mom, but she even paid
attention to his schedule.
Weston showed nothing on his face, but emotions were surging in his chest.
“Okay, you can walk around the villa with Mom.If you run into any problems, don't hesitate to call me.”
“I know.”
Weston was still worried and felt uneasy.He reminded her, “Ben is here too.You can always find him if
needed."
"Hey..." Stella was starting to get a little annoyed by his nagging.
“I’m not a kid anymore!” She pushed his back.
“Go ahead if you have something to do.Don't mind me." Weston fixed his gaze on her for a few
moments before he turned to leave Wendy could not help but laugh and tease Stella.
"I think Weston is treating you like his daughter.He's always so worried about you." Stella shook her
head with a smile.
"He's quite possessive." Wendy paused for a moment and realized that there was a lot she did not
know about her son.
"Possessive? You seem to be the first person to say that about him…” She sighed emotionally.
