It was a surprise to Gwendolyn that he hit her. For Felicia's sake, he was willing to go to extremes.
Speechless, she looked deep into the eyes of the man with a ferocious expression.
Eventually, she turned around and left.
Michael shouted in anger, “At the very least, could you show some decency? Did I say you were free to
leave?”
Gwendolyn, on the other hand, was unconcerned. Ever since she was a child, he had never taken on
the role and duties of a father.
Sigh.
In fact, she admitted herself to be unrefined.
Gwendolyn got into the car. Because there were too many of them, Zayden's driver had to use an MPV
when he arrived to pick them up. A regular car could not have accommodated so many of them.
She sat in the second row from the door, her long hair covering the side of her burning cheeks.
Sitting next to her, Zayden's gaze shifted over to her.
“Gwen, is everything all right with you and your dad?”
Given her sour demeanor, he deduced that she and her father were not on the best of terms.
In fact, he had a thorough understanding of her past. Candace was her stepmother, and Felicia was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther stepmother's daughter.
Given her history of bad relationships, it was inevitable that she would have trouble getting along with
her father.
When he first met her, she was miserable. Despite this, she never spoke of her family's plight. At the
time, he guessed that she might have had a bad relationship with her family.
He only learned much later that she was pregnant and that it was a pregnancy out of wedlock. Only
then did he figure out why she was so determined at that point.
At this moment, Gwendolyn raised her head and forced a smile.
“It's nothing.”
Isn't this all just to keep me from stealing Felicia's man? What if I do steal his man?
Zayden nodded slightly, but he would still occasionally glance at her. Seeing her in a bad mood really
made him worry.
Juliette was sitting directly behind Gwendolyn. With her little hand, Juliette reached out and stroked
Gwendolyn's face from behind.
However, Juliette happened to place her hand on the same side of Gwendolyn's face where she had
been hurt. In response to that, Gwendolyn let out a hiss in agony.
Juliette's eyes widened in shock. “What's wrong, Gwen?”
Almost as quickly as it had appeared, Gwendolyn hid her pained expression. “I'm fine. Your hand was
simply too cold.”
Upon hearing that, Zayden sighed in relief. He thought she was hurt.
But her two sons, sitting at the back, were smart. They knew their mother too well.
Juliette took out a monetary gift. “Look, Gwen. I've got so many monetary gifts!”
Seeing that, Gwendolyn giggled happily. At this time, Justin and Julian turned on the lights in the car,
and they locked her head to the seat while Justin flicked away the hair on her left.
She raised her hand to resist them, but the lights in the car were so bright that the five fingerprints on
her swollen face were obviously seen.
Because of her fair skin, even a slight clench would leave an immediate mark. How much more
frightening would it be for her if an adult man lashed out at her with such force?
Justin and Julian's faces darkened, and they both asked, “Who hit you?”
On the surface, it appeared that everyone in the Ashton family treated them well, but the two of them
didn't feel this way about their situation.
Almost all of them were fake. Only Michael cared deeply about them. The others would glance at them
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmindifferently.
Gwendolyn hurriedly tugged her hair to hide her face. “No one did. I went a little too hard when I hit a
mosquito on my face.”
Even the stupidest person wouldn't go to such lengths. She was doing everything she could to keep
her feelings under control.
Zayden was heartbroken. He placed an order for medication over the phone and requested that it be
delivered to Gwendolyn's house.
Juliette was hugging Gwendolyn's head from behind when she saw what was going on. She puckered
her lips and moved toward her.
“Mommy, I'll blow the pain away for you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she began blowing with all her might. Gwendolyn chuckled when
she heard that. It was heartwarming to watch her daughter give it her all.
Fortunately, she was blessed with some of the most lovable children on the planet. With them by her
side, there would be nothing to be afraid of.
She no longer cared that her biological father mistreated her and had never loved her.
As long as she got to be around her three children, it would all be worth it.
Zayden smiled faintly as he looked at Juliette.
“Gwen, I won't make you return in the future. It's all my fault for what happened today.”
