Chapter 984 Guinevere originally intended to prevent Stella from getting closer to Zack by building a
stronger bond with him. But if she were perfectly honest, she had to admit that she never nearly had the
patience to deal with Zack herself.
Thus, the best solution was to let Wendy take Zack.
Hearing Guinevere‘s suggestion, Wendy frowned, looked at her derisively, and jeered, “Didn‘t you tell
Father that you wanted to spend more time with Zack so you two could bond? So what happened? Don‘t
you want to get closer to your son now that Stella is not here?”
Guinevere turned deathly pale. She hung her head low and said nothing, not knowing how to explain
herself.
Seeing that, Chris turned to Wendy with some discontent and scolded, “Why do you keep embarrassing
her like that? You‘re not young anymore, you know...”
He‘d been bringing up her age a lot lately.
“Fine!” Wendy glowered at him. “Just think of me as a nosy old woman! Just continue with whatever you
were doing, and don‘t mind me!”
As she finished speaking, she turned on her heels and left.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZack became anxious when he saw his granny ignoring
him. He stomped his legs and tried to follow Wendy, shouting, “Granny! Granny!”
Wendy, however, pretended not to hear him and quickened her pace. Chris then had no choice but to tell
Guinevere, “You better take Zack out for a while...” “I know,” replied Guinevere. Then she shrewdly
suggested, “You should go after Aunt Wendy now.”
Chris took a long and deep look at Guinevere but said nothing before turning around and chasing after
Wendy.
In no time, Chris managed to catch up with Wendy in the back garden.
“Come on, Wendy. We‘re an old couple now. Why do you still get mad over the most trivial things?”
There was some helplessness in his tone, and he had deliberately put on a gentler and calmer
demeanor for her.
But Wendy no longer fell for such acts. She coldly pulled her hand away and said, “Guinevere is still over
there. Why don‘t you be with her?“|
“You speak as if...” Chris muttered before patiently coaxing his wife. “Even though Weston has
completely broken off his relationship with Guinevere, she‘s still Zack‘s mother. Isn‘t it completely normal
that I‘d care
for my grandson‘s mother? Why would you even be jealous of her?”
“She‘s still Zack‘s mother after all,” he added, “so from now on, stop taking Stella‘s side and
embarrassing her...”
“Stella is my real daughter–in–law,” Wendy interrupted bluntly. “And she was my goddaughter before
that. Why should I take anyone’s side but hers?”
“Well...” Chris smiled and added, “If they can get married, then they can get divorced. Having a child
together, though, is not the same. Besides, you know how much Father likes Zack...”
“Oh yes,” Wendy blurted out, “his father certainly likes him very much.”
Wendy suddenly gave him a meaningful look.
Chris‘s heart skipped a beat when he saw her like that, fearing she had somehow seen through him from
his expressions, but he quickly suppressed his suspicions. “If you have something to say, then spit it! If
you don‘t like me getting so close to Guinevere , I‘ll keep my distance from her!”
He did indeed feel a little sympathy and affection for Guinevere. It was also true that every time he saw
Zack, a barrage of complex feelings would surge in his heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut all these were merely regular instinctive reactions.
What concerned him the most, however, was the fact that
Weston was no longer with Guinevere, which meant she might regain her memories about the incident…

If that were to happen, everything he had now would collapse into ruins.
Chris had long grown past the age where feelings and passion meant everything. Although he often got
tired of Wendy‘s antics, he knew very well that there was no way he could leave her.
The corners of Wendy‘s lips twitched, and she smiled thinly, neither approving nor disapproving of Chris‘
suggestion. But Chris knew she was still somewhat angry at him, so he added, “I‘ll take you downstairs
to greet the guests later.”
“No,” she shook her head. “You go ahead. I‘m a little tired. I‘m going back to the room.”
“Why are you always tired these days?” asked Chris with concern. “Is your heart feeling alright?”
!!
As age caught on, Wendy was diagnosed with heart disease. It was the main reason why Chris was
adamant about not letting Weston reveal the truth to Wendy after the incident, lest it might be too much
of a shock for her to handle.
But as time passed, the concern Chris had for her gradually waned.
