“Gwen, it's the Ashton family's reunion today. Now that you're back in Avenport, you must attend.”
Then, he added, “Are you at the fast-food restaurant in the square now? I've told the driver to pick you
up.”
Hearing that, Gwendolyn looked at her three children. It would be troublesome if Grandpa sees them.
She shot to her feet abruptly and pulled Juliette up from her seat.
“Julian, Justin, take your sister through the back door. I have something to deal with.”
Juliette looked at her unfinished fries, her eyes full of reluctance.
“I'm not leaving, Gwen. I haven't finished eating yet!”
She often got sick, so she rarely got the chance to eat fast food.
Since Gwendolyn decided to be merciful today, Juliette wanted to make the most out of it.
Nevertheless, she was carried out through the back door of the restaurant and thrown into a taxi.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven the two boys were clueless about what was going on. They turned their heads to look at the
restaurant, wondering who their mother had seen to make her so terrified.
Could it be Daddy? Well, he's still a better choice than other men. At least he won't abandon Mommy,
considering we're family.
At that thought, they set their next task to force their daddy to pursue their mommy.
If they succeeded, their family would get to live happily together, and they would no longer need to help
their mommy look for those unreliable men.
However, the two boys did not see anyone. Thus, they could only wave goodbye to her.
“Remember to come home before ten o'clock, Mommy!”
Gwendolyn nodded. “Okay! Bye!”
As the taxi drove away, Gwendolyn let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness Grandpa's people didn't see them. Otherwise, Grandpa would be enraged, and he
might even vent his anger on the children.
No matter how scary and unbearable the Ashton family was, she was going to handle it by herself.
As soon as she sat back in her seat, several men in black suits walked in.
“Ms. Gwendolyn, this way please.”
The men respectfully stood in two rows, making way for Gwendolyn. She walked past them to the door
and got into the subtle-looking luxury car.
Along the way, she watched the view outside the window. It was getting dark, and the neon lights
outside were beautiful.
Gwendolyn was familiar with the road back to the Ashton residence. That was the route she had
passed through countless times when she was a child.
She used to be very excited every time she saw the entrance, because it meant she was home.
However, when she saw the majestic gates now, she felt a little frightened.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wasn't sure what kind of attitude her relatives would give her, or how viciously they would speak to
her to suppress her. They were the closest people to her, but they were doing the most hurtful things to
her.
As the car parked in the parking lot, the driver opened the door for her.
She got out of the car, looking up at the brightly lit main building. Seems like the gathering is so fun that
the people in there aren't leaving even when it's nighttime already.
When Gwendolyn walked into the living room, she saw everyone dancing.
Felicia had a wine glass in her hand, seemingly drunk.
“Aunt Francine, you dance well!”
“Uncle, you look awesome!”
Everyone smiled at Felicia as they looked at her.
“Fel, you're so sweet.”
Suddenly, Felicia threw the wine glass on the ground, held her skirt, and danced alone excitedly.
“It's just so great to be with all the Ashtons!”
