Chapter 816

Wendy smoothed some moisturizer over her face, but her looks remained cold and hard.

“It seems you‘re the only one who can
bring Guinevere under control. Before you came, she was acting so crazy that even her own mother co
uldn‘t handle her...” .

They had been married for many years, and Chris could naturally hear the sarcasm in her voice.

He furrowed
his brows and said with displeasure.“ Whatever it is, she is Zack‘s mother. Who is Ella? How could we
upset Gwen just because of her?”

“Of course, you wouldn‘t want Gwen upset. You care the most about her.”

He could feel Wendy becoming bitterer by the minute.

Chris used to feel guilty, but now he simply felt inexplicably
annoyed. “Just speak your mind, don‘t beat around the bush!”

He added coldly, “You’ve become quick –tempered and jumpy as you age! Why are you
even jealous of Guinevere?”

His words struck Wendy where it hurt.

She gripped the bottle of moisturizer and sent it hurtling to the ground.

It hit the ground with a smash.

The bottle broke into pieces, spewing all its contents out.



“If you think I’m getting too old for you, go ahead and find some younger woman! Oh yes, Guinevere is
pretty young. I‘m sure she‘s not as jumpy and quick–
tempered as I am! Since you care so much for her, and boy, does she
need your care and concern right now, what are you still doing here?”

“You‘re being ridiculous!”

Chris was taken aback by Wendy‘s reaction. The broken shards on the floor only soured his
mood further. “Have you turned silly?”

“You know best whether I’m the silly one!”

Wendy glared at him. “Since you think I‘m getting old, why don‘t you just stay out and never
come back! You‘re only back
here for Guinevere anyway. Ask yourself: what exactly is your relationship with her?”

“What relationship could I have with her? You‘re being unreasonable! She‘s the mother
of my grandson!”

Wendy remained silent as she glared at him with unspeakable rage. Chris turned his face away, feeling
slightly surprised at the look in her eyes. “Think about it yourself.”

With that, he turned to leave, slamming the door shut behind him.

Wendy was left all alone in the room.

She looked at herself in the mirror. It was the same beautiful face that she was looking at before
Chris came in.

But it was true that she was getting old. No matter how beautiful one was, time was ruthless
in leaving its mark on one‘s face.



Chris‘ words about her getting
jumpy and quick tempered resounded in her eyes. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw a strang
er looking back.

Since when had she become so nasty and vile?

She had always been the center of attention, the darling in everyone‘s eyes. When did she become so
wicked and repulsive?

At Serenity Café.

Old Mr. Ford was seated across from another elderly man, engaged in a game of chess.

Weston sat silently at a side while Stella filled his cup with tea. She then paid attention to the chess gam
between the two older men.

Weston was serious about marrying her when he proposed to her earlier.

That night, after leaving the Ford Mansion, he brought her to Old Mr. Ford and made his
intentions to marry her clear.

Old Mr. Ford was silent at first, neither approving nor disapproving

The other old man was Jason, the boss of Musx Piano. He had met
Stella once before and even made a piano for her.

Old Mr. Ford and Jason had been good friends for many years.

With Jason owning a villa located right next to Musx, the two would frequently fish
and play chess over there. Sometimes, they would even grow plants on the hillside, enjoying their
retirement life together.



Since Old Mr. Ford did not explicitly answer, Weston decided to bring Stella to the villa for some time.
