Chapter 48 When the two of them entered the baby’s room, the nanny was changing Zack’s diaper.

Weston stopped right outside the door and did not enter the room.

Guinevere did not notice him acting strangely and walked right into the baby’s room to take a look at

Zack

Although the baby was still young, some of his features did bear some resemblance to the men of the

Ford family. After changing the baby’s diaper, the nanny carried Zack from the cradle and approached

Guinevere. “Ms. Cohen, do you want to carry him?”

At the nanny’s gesture, a look of displeasure flashed past Guinevere’s face. However, she said nothing

since Weston was still around. Instead, she said, “Let me.” With that, she reached out to take the baby

over from the nanny’s hands.

However, the moment she carried Zack who was still asleep in the nanny’s arms, his eyes flew open, and

he stared at her wide-eyed for a few seconds before exploding into a deafening wail.

He raised his tiny fists and clumsily flung his hands around, his face flushed red with tears. He was

clearly resisting Guinevere with all his might.

Guinevere was suddenly at a loss, unsure of how to deal with the baby. She could only hold Zack stiffly

in her arms and attempt to coax the crying baby, “Hush baby, don’t cry…”

Yet, the more she tried to coax him, the louder Zack wailed until he almost couldn’t breathe. Guinevere

had no choice but to hand the baby back to the nanny The nanny immediately came forward and patted

Zack’s back. “My little young master, don’t cry, don’t cry…” It was only then that Zack calmed down.

Tears hung from the corners of his eyes and the pitiful look on his face broke the nanny’s heart. “Don’t

cry, don’t cry…” Guinevere’s lips pursed slightly as she remained silent, despite the displeasure

simmering in her heart.

This was the child that she carried in her womb for ten months, but because she faced some issues in

childbirth and she was not well for a period of time right after she gave birth, she did not spend much

time with Zack. Coupled with the fact that she had hordes of professional help at home, given the wealth

and opulence of the family, she hardly even carried the baby in her own arms ever since she gave birth

to him. By the time she fully recovered, the child had begun fearing strangers. As an actor, Guinevere

knew that it was a matter of time before she had to return to the showbiz. As such, she prioritized

regaining her figure and did not bother breastfeeding the child.

That wasn’t a big deal to her, though. The family spent loads of money hiring nutritionists to

ensure that the child did not lack the nutrition it needed to grow up.

That, however, did not manage to cover the gap in their mother-child relationship, which was why Zack

displayed such resistance towards her,

Guinevere glanced towards Weston who was just standing at the side and asked him, “Do you want to

come over and carry him?”

“Must you insist on making him cry?” Weston looked at her, not in frustration, but not with eagerness

either.

He did carry Zack a couple of times and was exceedingly patient with the baby, but that was about it.

A family like the Fords had everything at their disposal, and no lack of professional help in everything.

They didn’t need to lift a finger and therefore lacked the opportunity to display their love and affection as

parents

What’s more, Weston was not one to wear his heart on his sleeve in the first place, and so Guinevere did

not see it as a big deal.

Zack was his son, after all. He could not ignore him completely, could he?

The two of them stood stock still in the baby room for a while longer before they turned around to return

to their rooms.

Perhaps the baby had been crying so loud it woke up the rest of the household, that the two of them

bumped into Whitney on their way out. Whitney adhered to a strict bedtime regime, and she should have

been asleep for half an hour, now that it was already eleven at night. Yet, she was rudely awoken by the

baby’s cries. Wearing a silk nightgown, her elegant and graceful demeanor was greatly enhanced.

Despite her age, she had maintained her appearance well. “Why did both of you return so late?”

“We had to attend to something at Freemont city, and the traffic was heavy along the way

back.”

Whitney nodded. “Why did Zack cry so loudly just now?”

Weston remained silent.

Guinevere replied rather awkwardly, “I missed him, having not seen him for a few days. I just wanted to

carry him, but didn’t expect him to cry so hard…”
