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.
