Chapter 321
He could not say it out loud because of his pride. All he could do was glance at Mrs. Cohen for a moment. A woman was more suitable to intervene in such matters.
Mrs. Cohen understood this. She looked at Guinevere gently and sighed. “Your father and I certainly wish for the best for you. It‘ll be great if you can stay with Weston happily. Your happiness is more important than anything...!!! Guinevere breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes were a bit red. “Thank you, Mom.”
“But...” Mrs. Cohen dragged her words. Guinevere‘s expression changed when she heard that. Mrs. Cohen said, “Marriage is not as simple as dating. This is a big thing. Are you sure you want to marry Weston?”
“I am!” Guinevere answered quickly and firmly.
She looked at Weston and repeated, “I am.‘‘
Weston did not respond. He only looked at her and glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Cohen. “It seems that you two still have many considerations.”
Mrs. Cohen nodded and said solemnly, “This is not a matter of mutual interest... We‘re more concerned about our daughter‘s happiness in the future.
“After all, marriage is not the same as falling in love. Gwen has given birth to Zack, but we can afford to raise a child. We don‘t want you to neglect Gwen because of this matter...”
Wendy had to interject. “I thought we had an agreement! I‘ll treat Guinevere like my own daughter. She has been living here this whole time. I‘m sure she can tell, right?” Then, she looked at Guinevere.
Guinevere nodded hurriedly, “Yes. Dad, Mom, they‘ve been very nice to me all this while. I‘m sure they‘ll treat me like their own daughter when I marry Weston...”
Her urgency was written all over her face.
According to the law, there was a high risk of losing everything if a project failed, especially when it was a jo nt property between a married couple.
Otherwise, they might even be trapped, immobilizing all their shares.
Mr. Cohen was in the critical period of winning succession in the Cohen Company.
He would not allow himself to be trapped by such a big mistake like this. Others might use this to downplay him. Therefore, he was critically cautious with the matter of his daughter‘s marriage.
