Chapter 27

Even the other family members looked over with confusion. Guinevere and Weston’s marriage was
acquiesced by both families. At first, no one had urged Weston about it because they thought that
Weston had other plans as he usually did. But now, rather than having other plans, it seemed like he
was having other thoughts instead. Finally, it was Chris who broke the silence. “I’ve been hearing
rumors lately. Do you have other considerations in mind?”

When he said this, nosy people who enjoyed conflict got involved. “I’ve heard some nasty rumors
claiming that Weston… has a woman on the side!” “Xavier! Who allowed you to speak?!” Chris growled
at him, visibly enraged. By another woman, Xavier meant Stella. Outsiders may not be aware, but Chris
couldn’t be deceived, and neither could his dear brother, Xavier, be kept in the dark as well.

Xavier was Chris’s younger brother, but he was only a few years older than Weston.

As Xavier was a child Old Mr. Ford had during his golden years, he became the apple of Old Mr. Ford’s
eye. Even if Chris was the biggest shareholder, Xavier still had a great deal of authority.

He was also the only person who could still smile cheekily when Chris was furious. “Big brother, I was
only telling you about the rumor I heard. I never said it was true. Weston has always been virtuous, so I
believe that the rumors are nonsense. What do you think, big brother?”

Chris still looked forbidding and he showed no signs of letting up. He ignored his insensible brother and
turned back to Weston. “You heard him. Those rumors will never stop, not until the day you marry
Gwen. You have to let the Cohen family and Gwen know when exactly you plan to get your marriage
registered.”

Upon hearing this, Guinevere’s heart stopped and she subconsciously looked at Weston. She felt
anxious as she held her breath to wait for his answer.



So long as Weston could give a firm answer, he could avoid all troubles. Weston kept quiet for the
longest time without opening his mouth. All eyes were focused on him and he suddenly felt annoyed.
He massaged the point between his eyebrows and said, “I can handle my own matters.”

Slam!

Chris slammed his cutlery onto the table. “Weston, what do you mean by that attitude of yours?”

Wendy stood up at once. “Chris, what are you doing?” She reached over to rub his back. When Chris
had calmed down slightly, she sat back down and looked at Weston helplessly. “You rarely come home,
so please stop making your father angry, Let’s all have a nice dinner together.”

Xavier was enjoying the show. Just as he was about to add fuel to the fire, Wendy swept him a glance.

Xavier shrugged. To be honest, he obeyed his gentle and beautiful sister-in-law more than he listened
to his stern older brother.

He smiled and didn’t say anything to make matters worse. A home must have a big-hearted and gentle
female owner. Now that Wendy had spoken, the silent confrontation slowly died away, leaving only a
slightly tense atmosphere. Guinevere was also sensible and took it upon herself to smooth things over.
She put on a generous expression and asked the man beside her affectionately, “Weston, could you
get me a bowl of soup?”

She was also trying to clarify her standing that she was on Weston’s side. Whether or not they got
married, that was their issue.

And since she didn’t mind, the others had no right to say anything.
