Chapter 49
Whitney’s brows furrowed. “Since you know he’s not close with you, don’t bother him while he’s sleeping! It’s hard to coax a baby to sleep.” The rebuke in Whitney’s tone deepened the displeasure in Guinevere’s heart, but she kept it to herself.
“Forget it. Go and rest, both of you. I’ll go in and look at Zack.” The two of them were just about to walk off when Whitney suddenly asked them, “Are the two of you still sleeping in separate rooms?”
She looked between them before her gaze finally landed on Weston, “It’s been almost a year, and Gwen’s almost fully recovered…”
The meaning in her words was clear. Weston cut her off and remarked casually, “There’s no hurry.”
Guinevere stood at a side and guessed that Weston would give such a nonchalant answer. Yet, it did not stop her from feeling disappointed at hearing the response directly from his mouth.
Weston had initially slept separately with her because they were not yet married. What’s more,
she was pregnant at that time, and sharing the same room would bring certain inconveniences.
After giving birth, he came up with the excuse that she hadn’t fully recovered to remain in separate quarters.
As such, they might look like a married couple on the surface, but they were, in fact, still not sleeping together at night. Weston did not even bother preparing a marital home for them, and both of them were still staying in the Ford mansion.
Guinevere had tolerated all these simply because guilt ate at her heart.
