Zayden called out, “Gwen, let's go in!”
Just then, Gwendolyn came back to her senses. She took a glance at him and nodded slightly.
Then, they went back to the main building. Michael had not come downstairs yet. Francine and
Christina gave them very warm responses.
“Gwen, you're back! Come and sit!”
“Mr. Surrington, please have a seat.”
Zayden nodded and sat on the couch with Gwendolyn.
Everyone in the Ashton family returned home this year.
Nicolette had always liked to follow behind Gwendolyn since she was a child. When she saw that
Gwendolyn was back for the New Year, she ran over happily and squeezed in beside her.
“Gwen, you're finally back. I missed you so much!”
Nicolette rubbed against Gwendolyn's body like a kitten. Seeing that the two had such a good
relationship, Zayden smiled.
“Gwen, this is...” Zayden wanted to get to know all the relatives who were close to Gwendolyn and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthoped they could take good care of Gwendolyn in the future.
Zayden treated Gwendolyn really well. He met her on a rainy day six years ago, and she was really
pitiful at that time. Zayden even personally took care of her when she was in the hospital.
Therefore, their relationship was really good. However, Angeline was always worried that he would get
too close to Gwendolyn.
She always did something behind their backs to prevent them from getting together. Evidently,
Gwendolyn understood Angeline's concerns, so she had always kept a distance from Zayden.
Besides, she would never marry into a family that could not accept her three children. The reason she
chose Patrick was not only because he was good-looking and outstanding.
What was really important was that he and his family never looked down on her and her children.
These were the affirmations that made her feel confident about their relationship.
Nicolette waved at Zayden. “Hi, my brother-in-law! I'm Nicolette; just call me Nicole.”
Hearing how Nicolette addressed him, Zayden broke into a happy grin. “Sure, Nicole!”
He could not wait to give Nicolette a big New Year gift as he was too happy hearing her calling him
“brother-in-law.”
Gwendolyn pushed her. “Stop calling him that! Don't be so ill-mannered. Please address him as Mr.
Surrington in the future! Do you hear me?”
Nicolette stuck her tongue out at her and made a funny face. “Gwen, are you shy?”
Gwendolyn heaved a sigh. She wanted to tell Nicolette that her brother-in-law was Patrick and not
Zayden.
Nonetheless, she dared not say it out loud.
The three children went upstairs to look for their great-grandfather after entering the house. Zachary
sat beside Candace, both looking really happy.
After all, their daughter seemed to be going to marry into the Lowen family. They were definitely happy
as her parents.
However, they did not know the reasons behind all this.
Felicia knew that if she had not asked Zachary to tell Michael to let Gwendolyn go home for the New
Year, she would not even have had a chance to celebrate the New Year with the Lowen family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven if she went over, with the presence of Gwendolyn, she would be superfluous.
If Gwendolyn went to the Ashton residence, she would have a good time with the Lowen family. Since
Hector liked her, she must try her best to please him.
With Hector having her back, Patrick would not dare to kick her out. Hence, she went to the Lowen
residence shamelessly.
Gwendolyn took out her phone and sent Patrick a WhatsApp message.
She texted: Patrick, why is Felicia celebrating the New Year at your house? Did you ask her to go?
She questioned him with a very unhappy tone.
He replied after only a short while.
Patrick: If you can bring Zayden to your house, why can't I let Felicia come over?
Gwendolyn's heart sank when she saw his reply.
She put the phone back in her bag. He is talking to me like this because he's mad. Such an a*shole!
She pouted in anger and did not want to speak at all.
Zayden poured her a cup of coffee. “Have some coffee.”
Noticing her unhappy look, he tried to comfort her.
Gwendolyn took the coffee over and glanced at him. “Zayden, are you not going home for New Year? Is
your family okay about this?”
