Michael smiled and said, “Gwen won't leave you even if your eyes never heal.”
The reason why Michael said that was because he thought Gwendolyn wouldn't leave Zayden since
they already had children together.
This was how Michael was as a person. He had a very traditional and righteous mindset.
Zayden was in a great mood when he heard Michael say that, thinking that his path and choices were
the correct ones.
He told Michael that the children were his, and he knew Michael wouldn't be able to reject him if the
latter knew that.
Michael left after that conversation, whereas Zayden said he would wait for his driver and housekeeper
to return.
Michael only left after informing the owner of the coffee shop to take care of Zayden.
After Michael left, Zayden took a sip of his coffee, and his gaze slowly darkened.
A smirk was plastered on his face as he thought, Let's see how you plan on taking Gwendolyn away
from me, Patrick.
After thirty minutes, Suzanne finally returned with plenty of food in her hands and a face beaming with
bliss.
“Mr. Surrington! It was such a shame that you couldn't follow us! There's so much amazing food on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsale, and they all tasted delicious! I thought there wouldn't be any street vendors, but there were! They
just couldn't set up their stalls anywhere they liked. Apparently, there's a special area for them,” she
said as she ate her cotton candy.
There were even cotton candies around her mouth, and Zayden helped wipe those away.
“Let's go home.”
“Okay!” Suzanne replied with a smile.
With that, she quickly put all the food in a bag before supporting Zayden. She needed to be his
“walking aid” since Zayden was pretending to be blind.
During Saturday in the Ashton residence, the main hall was decorated beautifully with red ornaments,
and there were also dolls that girls would fancy.
The event venue was decorated according to what modern girls would love.
Felicia was standing on the second floor as she looked down at the busy scene on the first floor. She
couldn't help but complain to Candace, “Mom, Grandpa has never held a party for me before. Even my
birthday parties were never this grand.”
Candace was wearing a red gown, looking elegant and refined, with her arms crossed over her chest.
“Your grandpa will see you in a different light once you marry Patrick. By then, you can hold any grand
party you want.”
In the meantime, she thought deep down, Don't care too much about something so trivial. We need to
look at the bigger picture.
Felicia hummed in acknowledgment when she heard that and replied, “That's true. Gwendolyn wouldn't
even be here now if it weren't for us.”
Grandpa would never hold a party for Gwendolyn if it weren't for Mom's suggestion, anyway.
Right then, the relatives from the Ashton family arrived and entered the venue.
When Felicia saw Leroy and Theodore together with Francine and Christina, she asked her mother,
“Mom, you'll be going down to greet them, right?”
Those four were the main forces of the Ashton family. Candace could use this chance to spread rumors
about Gwendolyn if she went down and talked to them since they were more efficient than any media
platform.
After all, women had the amazing ability to spread any rumors.
Candace then took a step forward to the stairs and said, “I'm now the lady of the Ashton family, so of
course, I'll need to entertain the relatives when they're here.”
Felicia followed behind her mother, and they both made their way downstairs.
Leroy and Theodore were already with Zachary, and they were seen entering a room. It seemed the
men might have something to discuss.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe few women were now sitting in the living room, chattering away.
Seeing that, Candace walked toward them. “Francine, Christina. You're both here.”
Francine and Christina were enjoying some snacks, and they both stood up to greet Candace when
they saw her approaching.
“Candace! Please, sit. You must be so busy today. We even brought our housekeepers here to help
you out.”
Candace smiled gracefully in response to that, but in her heart, she thought, I bet they won't even
arrive this early if it wasn't for Dad. They must have arrived early, hoping that Dad would be happy
because they did so so that they could get more inheritance after he died.”
Francine was looking at Felicia when Felicia and Candace sat down.
“Do you have a boyfriend now, Fel? Bring him home if you do! I heard the relationship between Gwen
and Mr. Surrington would be announced today. The Surrington family is one of the elite families around.
Gwen sure is lucky!”
Everyone used to think that Gwendolyn was living a hard life, but they also reckoned that things were
changing now, thinking that Gwendolyn sure was lucky to be married into the Surrington family.
Candace lifted her head when she heard that and said, “Fel is with Patrick, and that has never
changed.”
