Stella jerked her head up and looked at Wendy in astonishment.
Wendy laughed. “Don’t get nervous. I am not here to confront you; I just want to confirm it.”
Stella tightened her grip on the teacup but did not say anything “I am sorry,” she said after a good
while. Without needing many words, their attitude answered everything Wendy slowly relaxed her face.
“You should know about the relationship between Weston and Guinevere, right?”
“Yes, I do.” Stella closed her eyes. “I never wanted to get between them. I …”
Before she could finish her, Wendy interrupted, “I am not here to accuse you of anything. Why are you
explaining yourself to me?” Wendy laughed again, handed Stella a tissue, and pointed at the corner of
her mouth.
Stella raised her hand to wipe it but found nothing there. Wendy laughed again and tapped her finger
on the table.“ You are with Weston now, right?”
Not waiting for an answer, she nodded to herself. “I should have noticed it earlier. Weston grew up
before my eyes. He is my son, after all. I know what is in his mind.”
After saying that, she took a sip of the rose tea and sighed, “His relationship with Guinevere is not like
what the outsiders think. As a mother, I only hope to see my child happy, so you do not have to be too
nervous. I am not coming to pick a fight with you. I just want to meet you to see what sort of woman
can make my son happy.”
Her words sounded nice, but they somehow felt like a sharp knife.
Her morals and conscience were condemning her.
Whatever the story between her and Weston, Weston’s mother did not know anything.
From Wendy’s perspective, Stella was the pathetic third wheel between Weston and Guinevere.
But she used words to make Stella excuses. This made Stella feel ashamed.
“I am very sorry.” Stella stood up. “I have something up and can’t stay any longer.”
She was simply unable to stay for another second. Each passing moment was a torment to her.
Wendy did not expect that Stella would try to escape. ” Ella!”
She stood up and blocked her path. “Did I say something wrong?”
“No. The fault is mine.” Stella did not dare to look into Wendy’s eyes.
Wendy looked at her sympathetically. “I know you are feeling guilty. I told you, I am not here to confront
you. You don’t have to feel burdened.”
Stella still could not take it. “Sorry.”
Wendy did not stop her after seeing her insistence.” Alright. I just came here to tell you that I don’t hold
any prejudice against you. On the contrary, I know you are someone who can make Weston happy. No
mother wants to see her children unhappy. I am no exception.”
Stella quickly fled, unable to listen to another word.
Wendy’s face gradually turned gloomy and became highly inscrutable as she watched Stella leave from
her back.
Stella received a message from Wendy as soon as she left the mall, telling her that she did not wish
anyone to know about their meeting.
After replying to reassure Wendy, she turned off her phone and wandered around the mall for a while
before heading to the parking lot.
She was ready to get in the car but did not see the
chauffeur-she could guess what he was doing, so she did not urge him and waited beside the car.
