Chapter 43

Guinevere’s face turned so dour that it looked frightening.

So many twists and turns over a simple meal.

Upon seeing Stella finally returning to her seat, Yvonne immediately put her bowl down and heaved a
sigh of relief. “I thought you had an upset stomach.” Stella sat down beside her and smiled. “No, I
didn’t. I just felt slightly unwell. Sorry for making you worried.”

Yvonne replied casually, “Good that you’re alright. The thought that you might be pregnant even
crossed my mind!” Guinevere, who had stepped in after Stella, stopped dead in her tracks upon
hearing Yvonne’s words. As if recalling a memory of the past, her face contorted with rage without any
seeming rhyme or reason.

The thought of Stella and her child came to her mind!

If it weren’t for the fact that Stella got pregnant, if it weren’t because she knew that Weston had
acquiesced for Stella to give birth to that child, she would never have walked down that extreme path of
no return! And she wouldn’t need to be on tenterhooks all the time right now… Right from the very
beginning, Guinevere had never looked Stella right in the eye and cared about her as a person.

She was merely a woman that Weston made use of to anger her. It was beneath her to pit herself
against Stella.

Yet, no matter how little Weston actually cared for Stella, their marriage was a fact that existed, and
they had physical intimacy between a husband and a wife…

However, after both of them reconciled, Weston never touched her that way ever again.





Guinevere knew clearly that she had tumbled into bed with Weston that one time only because she
was intoxicated, which was how they got back together.

In fact, her memories of that night were a blur, and she could only vaguely remember some snippets.

When she woke up the next day and saw the complicated look in Weston’s eyes, that was when

she knew that what had been looking forward to happening had finally come true.

For a man like Weston, it was not a big deal for him to have many women at one time, and divorce was
commonplace. On the contrary, Weston had always lived chastely and was not one to philander
around. In fact, Guinevere was his first woman, and he was not physically intimate with another woman
before her.

As such, he thought that it was only right for him to take responsibility for her.

Guinevere was happy for him to do so.

In their relationship, Weston fulfilled his role well as the thoughtful lover,

As a boyfriend, he had an excellent upbringing and cultured demeanor as a result of his wealthy family
and the generosity and the big-heartedness of a rich heir, but these were never what Guinevere wanted
in the first place.

She wanted his love.

She wanted him to love her as much as she did him.

Although they initially lived harmoniously with mutual respect, Guinevere demanded more and more
from Weston, Conflict began to arise in their relationship, which ended up on the verge of breaking
apart.
