    Having had enough of the show ying out before her, Ste stood up. “I have something that needs


    attending to. Please excuse me.”

    She could tell that Guinevere was clearly unfamiliar with caring for Zack and was just putting on a show


    of motherly affection.


    Just that, to her dismay, the charade was a tragic failure. Although she enjoyed watching Guinevere


    make a fool of herself, she didn’t want to waste her time. Weston stood up along with her. At the sight


    of both of them leaving, Guinevere subconsciously grabbed Weston’s arm. “Weston…”


    She looked at his side profile as her eyes ached with unshed tears. “You previously promised me that


    you’d bring Zack and me overseas for a holiday. Will you still keep your promise?” Ste halted in her


    footsteps but did not turn back to look.


    Her arms were by her side, and her fists clenched up slightly. She stood there for a moment longer


    before leaving without so much as looking back.


    ‘That was between the two of them. Whatever it was, they were Zack’s parents. It was an undeniable


    bond between them. She smiled self-derisively. It was precisely because of this bond that Guinevere


    had acted so impudently and arrogantly. She would always be Zack’s mother. Just this fact alone was


    enough reason for her to stay by Weston’s side forever.


    They were also childhood sweethearts and a match made in heaven, to boot. Undoubtedly, the


    emotional foundation that had beenid since the beginning fortified their rtionship.


    For all she knew, a few yearster…


    Ste pondered about the possibility of them reconciling again a few yearster.


    In the living room.


    Ste had already left, and Wendy nced at the two of them as she stood up with Zack in her arms.


    “Take your time to chat. I’ll take Zack to the courtyard for a stroll.”


    “Sure.”


    Weston retracted his gaze.


    Now that the two were finally alone, Guinevere felt less tense. “Now, even E can stay in the Ford


    Mansion …” sheined begrudgingly. She released her hand and looked at the man standing


    before her. “Weston, do you really intend to be with her?”


    Weston unbuttoned his sleeve, his eyes showing not the slightest trace of emotion. “Our engagement


    has been called off. It’ll be inappropriate that the two of us bring Zack overseas. If you have other


    requests, I can consider making arrangements.”


    “…what?”


    Guinevere was disappointed . “You mean that you can’t keep your promise?”


    “I can,” Weston corrected her. “Just that it won’t be only the two of us.” Guinevere looked down, “Just


    as well… I can agree , just that you can’t bring E.”


    Weston didn’t immediately respond to her. Instead, his lips pursed into a tight, straight line, and his


    eyes regained their usual coldness.


    A momentter, he tugged at his tie. “She probably doesn’t want to be involved, either.”


    Guinevere’s eyes trembled and darkened.


    Waves of hatred coursed through her veins, waiting to be  unleashed.


    Outside the Ford Mansion.


    Ste was nning on leaving when a familiar ck luxury car stopped right in front of her.


    The driver, behaving like her exclusive chauffeur, lowered the windows. “Ms. Steele , President Ford


    wants you to wait in the car.”


    Ste pondered for a moment before deciding to get into the car.


    A whileter, Weston walked out of the Ford Mansion.


    He opened the door and got in.


    Ste didn’t bother looking at him, but she found herself in his embrace the next moment.


    Weston lifted her up, parted her legs, and sat her down, straddling hisp. “Did you wait for a long


    time? You look pissed.”
