Mr. Ford Is Jealous

Chapter 26

At the ford family manor, Weston could sense the unusual atmosphere the instant he stepped inside the house.

The Ford family had been waiting for them. Each person wore varying expressions, but they all looked grim and somewhat disapproving.

Weston ignored their scrutiny and took his seat.

Guinevere had wanted to enter the house holding onto Weston’s arm, so she felt momentarily embarrassed. However, she quickly regained her composure and sat down beside Weston.

She smiled modestly and greeted her seniors at the table.

“Sorry to have kept everyone waiting. We were running a little late.”

Guinevere was a genuine socialite. Her conduct and etiquette were commendable, and she carried herself in a noble way.

This was a Ford family banquet, and Guinevere was considered part of the family now.

“It’s alright. If I’m not mistaken, your due date should be soon.” The person who spoke was Weston’s mother, Wendy Thomas. She smiled kindly and added, “It’s better to be careful during your commute, and it’s okay if you’re a little late.”

Guinevere smiled back and nodded.

“Thank you for your concern… Aunt Wendy.”

She had paused before addressing Wendy. She had wanted to call Wendy ‘Mom’ instead but had to give up on the thought.

Unlike Wendy’s warm graciousness, as the patriarch of the Ford family, Chris Ford had a steadfast temperament. It was somewhat similar to Weston’s but also different.

Chris was Weston’s father, and the two looked alike. Their chiseled features were passed down in the Ford family bloodline, but Weston’s features were much more prominent compared to Chris’s.

Chris and Wendy were known to be a lovey-dovey couple in their community. Unlike other wealthy couples of other aristocratic families who only put on shows of affection, Chris and Wendy truly loved each other. They were almost together all the time.

Wendy used to be a famous actress and celebrity in her younger days. During her era, no one could compete with her when it came to fame and success.

However, she had chosen to retire from the industry when her career was soaring to marry Chris, who was then a wealthy young gentleman, to start a family and have children.

It was a romance between a rich young master and a popular actress. And now, their story seemed to be re-enacted by Weston and Guinevere.

Guinevere felt confused at times. Weston’s parents were so lovey-dovey, and his family background was top-class, so why was he always so detached and indifferent?

Wendy might have aged, but she had charming features and never slacked off when it comes to maintaining her appearance, Time had turned her into a mature beauty, giving her an added charm.

Wendy looked at Guinevere’s protruding stomach, and her smile deepened. She said gently.

” It’s alright. You’re pregnant, so you should be careful when traveling. Your due date is next month, right? You have to be extra diligent until then.”

Chris didn’t say anything. He had never looked at Guinevere at all ever since the two of them came to him. His fingers tapped lightly on his knees as emotion surged behind his dark eyes. He had a drink of water to moisten his throat before looking at Weston.

“When do you plan to get married?”

Guinevere was about to give birth, but Weston had shown no intention of registering his marriage with her. Chris knew that Weston tended to value the big picture, so he wasn’t worried that Weston would break his promise of marrying Guinevere. However… So long as Guinevere and Weston weren’t officially married, Chris couldn’t rest easy.

“Gwen is giving birth soon. Even if you can’t host a wedding ceremony for the time being, at least get your marriage registered to appease the Cohen family.” No one spoke for a moment there. Guinevere was waiting for Weston’s response, but the only answer she got was silence. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
