Chapter 816
Wendy smoothed some moisturizer over her face, but her looks remained cold and hard.
“It seems you‘re the only one who can bring Guinevere under control. Before you came, she was acting so crazy that even her own mother couldn‘t handle her...” .
They had been married for many years, and Chris could naturally hear the sarcasm in her voice.
He furrowed his brows and said with displeasure.“ Whatever it is, she is Zack‘s mother. Who is Ella? How could we upset Gwen just because of her?”
“Of course, you wouldn‘t want Gwen upset. You care the most about her.”
He could feel Wendy becoming bitterer by the minute.
Chris used to feel guilty, but now he simply felt inexplicably annoyed. “Just speak your mind, don‘t beat around the bush!”
He added coldly, “You’ve become quick –tempered and jumpy as you age! Why are you even jealous of Guinevere?”
His words struck Wendy where it hurt.
She gripped the bottle of moisturizer and sent it hurtling to the ground.
It hit the ground with a smash.
The bottle broke into pieces, spewing all its contents out.
“If you think I’m getting too old for you, go ahead and find some younger woman! Oh yes, Guinevere is pretty young. I‘m sure she‘s not as jumpy and quick–tempered as I am! Since you care so much for her, and boy, does she need your care and concern right now, what are you still doing here?”
“You‘re being ridiculous!”
Chris was taken aback by Wendy‘s reaction. The broken shards on the floor only soured his mood further. “Have you turned silly?”
“You know best whether I’m the silly one!”
Wendy glared at him. “Since you think I‘m getting old, why don‘t you just stay out and never come back! You‘re only back here for Guinevere anyway. Ask yourself: what exactly is your relationship with her?”
