Gwendolyn knew that Angeline did not like Zayden hanging out with her. So she believed the
Surrington family did not know about Zayden being at her house.
Zayden smiled faintly. “This is none of their business. I don't need their permission.”
It was really as Gwendolyn expected. It was his own decision, and he did not even inform his family.
At this moment, Michael came down the stairs with Juliette holding his hand. He looked really happy.
Gwendolyn stopped asking Zayden to go home for the New Year's celebration.
Meanwhile, at the Lowen residence, Alice's happy face immediately froze when she saw Patrick come
home alone.
“Where's Gwen? Where are my three sweethearts?”
She looked at the car behind Patrick but did not see Gwendolyn and her children getting out of the car.
Patrick replied flatly, “You can stop looking. They're not here.”
With that, he strode directly to the living room.
Hector was sitting in a wheelchair in the living room, and there was a broad smile on his face too.
When Patrick walked over, Hector slowly raised his hand and mumbled something.

and saw Gwendolyn's message. He lowered his head to reply to her message.
He just ignored Hector as he did not understand what the latter was trying to say.
Hector waited until Alice walked in, looking disappointed.
“Hector, it's just the three of us celebrating the New Year this year.”
She thought the New Year this year would be very lively with the presence of Gwendolyn and the three
children. She was even ready with New Year gifts.
All these years, her New Year gifts could never be sent out.
There were too few people in the Lowen family. Other than Alice and Hector, there was only Patrick.
Hector could not wait to see Patrick get married and have children. Perhaps that was the reason that
urged him to wake up after being in a comatose state for so long.
Hearing that, Hector was unhappy and threw the gifts in his hands to the floor.
Alice walked over to his side to comfort him.
“Hector, it's the New Year! Be happy! At least we still have Pat to accompany us. Are you not satisfied
with that?”
Hector took a glance at Patrick. He was angry at Patrick because the latter could not recognize his own
children. He used to think that Patrick was the smartest child in the world.
However, now it seemed that he was wrong.
He was just an idiot who could not even recognize his wife and children.
Patrick was in a bad mood. He noticed Hector was gazing at him after sending a text message to
Gwendolyn.
He looked back at him and asked while raising his eyebrows, “Grandpa, what did I do wrong?”
Patrick thought that maybe Hector was not happy because he did not bring Gwendolyn back.
Alice stroked Hector's chest and said, “Stop scolding people, Hector. It's New Year! Can you be nice to
Pat?”
She still remembered Patrick's face when he was a child. He had grown up and had reached a father's
age.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that time really flew by very quickly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, the housekeeper brought Felicia into the house.
“Old Mrs. Lowen, Old Mr. Lowen, and Mr. Lowen, Ms. Ashton is here.”
Patrick's eyes immediately lit up as he thought it was Gwendolyn. When he realized it was Felicia, he
finally understood what Gwendolyn said in the text message just now.
How dare she come uninvited? Has she forgotten the terms of the contract?
The housekeeper put aside the gifts she brought over. Felicia was wearing a red dress with a white fur
vest over it.
The sound of high heels clicking on the floor sounded in the living room. She walked in, smiling.
“Old Mr. Lowen and Old Mrs. Lowen, I'm here to celebrate the New Year with you.”
She smiled at Patrick and then sat beside Hector.
“Old Mr. Lowen, you look great today. Your body is getting better and better.”
After listening to Zachary's words, she understood that Hector was the person she should flatter the
most in the Lowen family.
It was Hector who gave her the confidence to come to their house uninvited. Hector liked her, and it
was Hector who asked Patrick to date her.
That was exactly why Patrick asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend. She finally understood
everything.
