Weston‘s eyes deepened. He wanted to light a cigarette, but he stopped when he thought of something. After a long time, he said, “Anyone who might influence the final verdict
Xavier stood up sharply. He thought he had misheard him. After a long moment, he raised his voice at the absurdity. “Are you crazy?!”
Was Weston going to make an enemy of everyone?
After that, inside the car.
Daisy saw Xavier‘s silence. She wanted to speak to him and ask him a few questions, but she eventually gave up.

Daisy nodded. When the car stopped, she unbuckled her seat belt and was
ready to go out when she paused and asked, “What did you… What did you say to Mr. Ford today?”
Xavier did not answer her right away. He put his hand on the steering wheel and tapped his fingers. Then, he looked at her differently.
“Don‘t you think you‘re overly concerned about Weston‘s affairs ?”
Daisy‘s eyes changed a little and reverted back to normal. “Why are you being paranoid again? Such a big incident has taken place. It‘s only normal that I am curious…”
“It’s normal,” Xavier cut her off with a cold voice. He sounded a little impatient.
“It’s also normal for a couple to be together and be apart. Daisy , this is my last warning. If I catch you thinking about another man again, there‘s no need for us to continue.”
After that, he directly opened the car door and got out.
Daisy paled instantly.
Night soon fell.
Joan kept calling Weston, but no one answered the call. She was anxious but
still worried about Stella.
Weston was not ignoring the call on purpose . He just could not get away from the situation.

When Guinevere‘s parents heard about the news , they fainted . When they woke up, it was already Zachary‘s funeral.

At the last minute , Weston stood in front of the funeral hall and looked at Zachary‘s tomb. He finally showed some of his own feelings.
“Rest in peace.” Weston placed a daisy in front of the tomb with dark and sullen eyes.
Guinevere stood behind him and clasped her hands together. She called his name.
“Weston…”
Weston did not respond and kept his back turned away from her.
Guinevere took a deep breath. She took a step forward and hugged his waist. “I feel horrible… Can I hug you?”
Weston frowned and wanted to push her away reflexively.
Guinevere sensed his intention, so she hugged him tighter. She let out a sad
whimper. “Please … At a time like this … Please just hold me… Please … Let me hold you…”
She squeezed her sobs out of her throat with a depressed and suppressed cry of grief. Weston lifted his hand, dropped it, and let her hold him.
