Everyone looked at Felicia when they heard that.
“You're still with Mr. Lowen?”
“I thought you guys broke up after the failed engagement last time.”
“The Lowen family is more prominent than the Surrington family. You're so lucky, Fel!”
Candace felt better after hearing all those, thinking that her daughter must one-up Gwendolyn.
How can they compare Gwendolyn to Fel? Gwendolyn would never be on the same level as my
daughter.
With that, Felicia fiddled with her hair and smiled with grace.
“Patrick and I always have a great relationship. He just never planned on getting married so soon
because he's busy these days, but Old Mr. Lowen has been pressuring us, so we might get married
soon.”
She then narrowed her eyes proudly as she looked at everyone's expressions.
To her expectation, everyone had a face of admiration because they knew they could never be
compared to the Lowen family.
Gwendolyn arrived early with her three children as well, and they entered the venue.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Where's Grandpa?” she asked the housekeeper.
The three children missed their great-grandfather, which was why Gwendolyn brought them there this
early so that they could accompany Michael.
The housekeeper pointed at the backyard and replied, “Old Mr. Ashton is at the family hall.”
Gwendolyn finally understood. To Michael, she had “turned over a new leaf” when Zayden said that
those kids were his children. That was why Michael dared to pay respect to the ancestors of the Ashton
family, letting them know about this.
Not only that, but Gwendolyn got an award as well, so Michael wanted to let the ancestors know about
that.
Felicia called out to Gwendolyn when she saw Gwendolyn walking in with her children.
“Gwen! Come, sit!”
The table was huge, and it could fit ten people.
However, Gwendolyn hesitated when she saw the relatives who were there. She really didn't want her
children to sit with them since they have a knack for saying something they shouldn't.
Felicia immediately got up and tugged Gwendolyn's arm.
“Gwen, everyone is here. Let's sit down and have a chat together! We should catch up.”
Juliette looked at the people around the table before looking at her brothers. As for Justin, he was calm
as he held Juliette's hand.
“Mommy, I'll bring Julian and Juliette to where Great-grandpa is.”
Gwendolyn heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. Thank God Justin is smart to get his siblings
out of this situation.
“All right. Sallie, bring them to where Old Mr. Ashton is.”
“Yes, Ms. Ashton,” the housekeeper, Sallie, replied.
Gwendolyn could only sit with Felicia at the table after the children had left.
This was how it was when there was a family gathering at the Ashton residence with coffee and a few
snacks served.
Everyone would sit together, sip on their coffee, and make small talk. This was a tradition passed down
from generation to generation.
Francine looked at Gwendolyn as she sat, saying, “I heard you got an amazing award, Gwen.
Congratulations!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe party that was held that day was actually to celebrate the award that Gwendolyn received, but no
one knew what type of award that was. They don't need to know what award I got, anyway, Gwendolyn
thought.
“Thank you, Aunt Francine.”
Christina chimed in, “Gwen, where's Mr. Surrington? Why isn't he here with you?”
Everyone around the table smiled when they heard that.
The message was clear. Everyone already knew what was going on between Zayden and Gwendolyn.
“I think he'll arrive later,” Gwendolyn replied, but in truth, she didn't even know if he would be arriving.
Zayden didn't even want to meet Gwendolyn. In addition to that, he was now blind, and he was quite
wary of it. Maybe he didn't want to show himself to the public because of that.
Candace then asked deliberately, “I heard he's gone blind, and his uncle's son is taking care of the
family business now. Is he okay?”
She sneered inwardly after saying that and thought, Everyone thought Gwendolyn would be wed to the
head of the Surrington family, but he's not the head anymore now, is he?
Francine was shocked when she heard that. “What? He's blind?”
Even Christina was the same. Her eyes widened when she heard the news.
“Why is he blind? Will he get better soon? Wouldn't Gwen be taking care of him forever if so?”
