    It was as if she were a little tail that grew on his bottom.


    Weston looked down at her, all smiles. “Nervous?”


    Ste remained silent as she pursed her lips.


    She could feel everyone’s eyes on them. She said softly, “Didn’t you say that the engagement


    ceremony would be a simple affair? why do we have so many guests...”


    “It’s already as simple as it gets.”


    Weston brought her along to get to know some rtives of the Ford family. “It’s just a few business


    partners and family you’ve never met. It’s not that many people.”


    “Not many? Exactly how many members are there in the Ford family?”


    Ste couldn’t help but click her tongue. “I remember when my uncle and aunt got engaged, it was just


    a matter of both familiesing together for a simple meal, and things weren''t thisplicated..."


    The mention of Michael and Diana made Ste’s eyes darken.


    Her family members were not invited to this engagement ceremony.


    Her parents were long gone from the ne crash years ago. As for Roger...


    She didn’t even dare to tell him about it.


    She tightened her grip over Weston’s arms. “Let’s not tell my brother we’re getting married soon,


    alright?”


    Weston brought her into the crowd as his brows furrowed at her words. “We are about to be


    husband and wife. He’ll know about it sooner orter.”


    “But it’s not a good time now.”


    Ste insisted, “He’s studying overseas now, and I want him to concentrate on his studies instead of


    being distracted by other things.”


    “You’ll have to deal with this eventually.”


    Weston added, “He’s not a child anymore and needs to learn to ept reality.”


    Ste naturally understood his rationale.


    She had a pact with old Mr. Ford, and everything she was doing now was merely stalling for time.


    She could never truly get married to Weston again, which was why she didn’t intend to inform Roger


    about her engagement.


    “Give me a little more time, alright?”


    She held Weston’s arm and said in a negotiating tone, “I’m afraid he won’t be able to ept it so


    suddenly. Anyway, we have time on our side. There’s no need to rush things.”


    Her words sessfully put Weston’s mind at ease.


    His eyes shifted as he put his arm around her waist tight. “You’re right. Time is on our side.”


    “Mr. Ford, it’s been a while.”


    One of his business partners came over to convey his blessings. “You did a fantastic job in that western


    suburb project!”


    He looked at Ste and remarked, “This must be your fiancee, I suppose?”


    Weston nodded and began introducing Ste to his guests.


    All of them had heard about Weston and Guinevere’s engagement, and here was Weston organizing


    another engagement banquet not long after breaking off his engagement with Guinevere.


    Yet, all of them were smart enough, not to mention Guinevere.


    That was why Guinevere’s sudden appearance at the engagement banquet shocked everyone.

    “I’m sorry I camete.”


    Guinevere was dressed in an elegant gown with a hint of a smile. “I hope I didn’t miss much.”


    She walked leisurely to the couple and greeted, “ Weston, E, have a happy engagement.”


    Ste was slightly stunned, but recovered quickly and said, “I didn’t expect to see you here. Given your


    condition, I thought you wouldn’t have had the time toe over, which was why we didn’t invite you.”


    She smiled graciously, as ifpletely unaffected by Guinevere’s unexpected appearance.


    Guinevere’s face changed as she whispered into Ste’s ears. “I know you’re putting on a show. You


    probably don’t wish to see me here, right?”


    She looked at her deeply and went on, “Don’t worry, E. I’m not here to create trouble. I’m here just to


    wish you two the very best.”
