Gwendolyn was stunned for a moment after hearing Zayden's request. “Are you attending Patrick's
engagement party?”
She knew about the upcoming event on Saturday. It was the engagement party between the Ashton
and Lowen families that were presently the talk of the city. It was likely that all the upper-class people in
Avenport would be attending. The Surrington family was the second most powerful family in Avenport,
so they were naturally on the guest list.
Knowing that he wouldn't be able to keep her in the dark, Zayden nodded.
“Please don't turn me down, Gwen.”
Zayden was wearing a white suit, looking immaculate and elegant. When he looked at her, there was a
smile in his eyes.
Gwendolyn mulled it over.
But if Mrs. Surrington were also attending, she would undoubtedly go off the deep end. After all, she
threw me a check and told me to leave Zayden. Anyway, I can understand her feelings. He's her most
beloved son, so she will naturally object if he were to marry someone with children. If I were in her
shoes, I would also take issue with it. From her perspective, I do understand her. But then, Zayden has
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇta special place in my heart, for he's my savior.
“Okay!”
I'll just have to put up with a few glares from her and her giving me a hard time. That's nothing to me!
Beaming, Zayden reached out and stroked her head.
“Thank you!”
At that precise moment, Camille stepped into the living room. When she saw the interaction between
the two of them, a flash of worry flittered across her face.
Should I tell Mr. Lowen about this? After all, I took so much money from him. Besides, I can tell that Mr.
Lowen treats her very well. Gwen has known Mr. Surrington for many years, so if they could get
together, that would've happened ages ago. As such, Mr. Lowen seems to have a higher chance.
Therefore, she took out her phone to send Patrick a text message. Without warning, someone
snatched her phone away.
Justin scanned the words on the phone. Sure enough, Ms. Ziegler is in cahoots with that man! Julian
was spot on!
The text message read: Mr. Lowen, Mr. Surrington came over tonight and is having a great time
chatting with Ms. Ashton. Why don't you come over as well? Julian and Justin are cooking today. Their
cooking is pretty good, so you should come over for a taste.
Justin deleted the entire message, a faint smirk flashing across his eyes. He wants to eat our cooking?
Hah! In his dreams! Even if we feed it to the dogs, we'll never give it to him!
A hint of chilliness manifested on his grim face.
“Ms. Ziegler, you're not allowed to send that man any more messages in the future. Do you
understand?”
His glacial expression was rather petrifying. While he was only a child, he resembled an adult at that
moment and gave off a strong sense of oppression.
Camille was wholly stunned, for she had never seen that side of Justin. She even started to suspect
that the boy she had been interacting with every day was seemingly a different person.
When Justin noticed her surprised and mystified expression, he beckoned her over.
“I've got something to tell you.”
Hence, Camille followed him out of the living room and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Julian had already finished cooking the last dish.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith a smirk playing on his lips, he carried the dish to the dining table.
“Was my guess right, Justin?”
Justin nodded. He then told Camille to have a seat, and the latter sat down woodenly.
Upon seeing that, Julian laughed. “Don't be afraid, Ms. Ziegler. We're not blaming you. Instead, we only
want to tell you that Patrick Lowen is going to get engaged to the heiress of the Ashton family this
Saturday. It's all over the news. As such, he's not suitable for Gwen.”
Feeling that Julian was still the same as before, gentle and approachable, Camille nodded.
On the heels of that, her eyes widened in shock.
“Mr. Lowen is getting engaged to someone else?”
Justin crossed his arms over his chest and answered coldly, “Yes!”
While deeply shocked, Camille also finally understood why the two children were acting in such a
manner.
“All right. No matter how much money he offers me in the future, I won't take it! How dare he bully
Gwen like this? Hmph! We're no easy prey!” she asserted firmly.
It seemed that she was even more worked up compared to them. The two boys exchanged a look
before Julian hastily patted her.
“Don't be so emotional, Ms. Ziegler. Watch your blood pressure.”
