Chapter 26 At the ford family manor, Weston could sense the unusual atmosphere the instant he stepped inside the
house.
The Ford family had been waiting for them. Each person wore varying expressions, but they all looked
grim and somewhat disapproving.
Weston ignored their scrutiny and took his seat.
Guinevere had wanted to enter the house holding onto Weston’s arm, so she felt momentarily
embarrassed. However, she quickly regained her composure and sat down beside Weston.
She smiled modestly and greeted her seniors at the table. “Sorry to have kept everyone waiting. We
were running a little late.”
Guinevere was a genuine socialite. Her conduct and etiquette were commendable, and she carried
herself in a noble way.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was a Ford family banquet, and Guinevere was considered part of the family now.
“It’s alright. If I’m not mistaken, your due date should be soon.” The person who spoke was Weston’s
mother, Wendy Thomas. She smiled kindly and added, “It’s better to be careful during your commute,
and it’s okay if you’re a little late.”
Guinevere smiled back and nodded. “Thank you for your concern… Aunt Wendy.”
She had paused before addressing Wendy. She had wanted to call Wendy ‘Mom’ instead but had to give
up on the thought.
Unlike Wendy’s warm graciousness, as the patriarch of the Ford family, Chris Ford had a steadfast
temperament. It was somewhat similar to Weston’s but also different.
Chris was Weston’s father, and the two looked alike. Their chiseled features were passed down in the
Ford family bloodline, but Weston’s features were much more prominent compared to Chris’s.
Chris and Wendy were known to be a lovey-dovey couple in their community. Unlike other wealthy
couples of other aristocratic families who only put on shows of affection, Chris and Wendy truly loved
each other. They were almost together all the time.
Wendy used to be a famous actress and celebrity in her younger days. During her era, no one could
compete with her when it came to fame and success.
However, she had chosen to retire from the industry when her career was soaring to marry Chris, who
was then a wealthy young gentleman, to start a family and have children.
It was a romance between a rich young master and a popular actress. And now, their story seemed to be
re-enacted by Weston and Guinevere.
Guinevere felt confused at times. Weston’s parents were so lovey-dovey, and his family background was
top-class, so why was he always so detached and indifferent?
Wendy might have aged, but she had charming features and never slacked off when it comes to
maintaining her appearance, Time had turned her into a mature beauty, giving her an added charm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWendy looked at Guinevere’s protruding stomach, and her smile deepened. She said gently.” It’s alright.
You’re pregnant, so you should be careful when traveling. Your due date is next month, right? You have
to be extra diligent until then.” Chris didn’t say anything. He had never looked at Guinevere at all ever
since the two of them came to him. His fingers tapped lightly on his knees as emotion surged behind his
dark eyes. He had a drink of water to moisten his throat before looking at Weston. “When do you plan to
get married?”
Guinevere was about to give birth, but Weston had shown no intention of registering his marriage with
her. Chris knew that Weston tended to value the big picture, so he wasn’t worried that Weston would
break his promise of marrying Guinevere. However… So long as Guinevere and Weston weren’t officially
married, Chris couldn’t rest easy. “Gwen is giving birth soon. Even if you can’t host a wedding ceremony
for the time being, at least get your marriage registered to appease the Cohen family.” No one spoke for
a moment there. Guinevere was waiting for Weston’s response, but the only answer she got was silence.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
