Zayden pretended to be blind, so there was no emotional change in his eyes.
He said softly, “You're squeezing my hand too hard. It hurts.”
It was only then that Suzanne awkwardly released his hand and smiled. “I'm sorry, Mr. Surrington. I got
a bit too excited.”
As they entered the city, they were greeted by the sight of tall buildings and busy traffic.
Suzanne let out a sigh and remarked, “Why is no one selling anything? Do people nowadays not buy
things?”
She took a glance at both sides of the road and saw only trees. There were no vendors or their
shouting voices. She felt that the modern world was not fun at all.
The driver's eyes widened in amusement as he watched the young maid in the rearview mirror. He
struggled to hold back his laughter.
He was certain that this girl was definitely from the countryside.
Zayden furrowed his brow, regretting bringing this girl with him. He was afraid she would make a fool of

After all, Michael meant a lot to him, and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
This was a make-or-break situation for him to win over Gwendolyn and defeat Patrick.
The car stopped at the entrance of Quinn Café, and the driver opened the door for Zayden. Suzanne
got out of the car first and came over to help him. Her small face showed signs of dissatisfaction.
Zayden pondered for a moment and said, “Yosef, take Suzanne out for a walk later and buy her some
good food.”
Suzanne's eyes suddenly lit up after she heard that. “Great!”
She then excitedly winked at Yosef, feeling overjoyed.
Yosef could not seem to resist her charm. He found this young maid truly amusing for not realizing that
looking at a man like that could provoke improper thoughts in others.
Suzanne supported Zayden into the café, and they could hear Michael's voice from afar. “Zayden, over
here.”
Hearing Michael calling Zayden's name, Suzanne waved at him and supported Zayden as they made
their way over. She then pulled out a chair and helped him sit down.
Michael looked at Zayden, who was a talented young man but unfortunately had a problem with his
eyes.
However, he was confident that with modern medical technology, Zayden would be able to recover.
“Zayden, have a taste of this coffee,” he said.
A barista was gracefully making the coffee and finally presented it in front of Zayden.
Suzanne took a glance at Zayden. As she saw him clumsily picking up his cup of coffee and starting to
drink, she felt that he really looked like a blind person.
If she hadn't known him to be otherwise, she would have believed he was blind.
She bent down beside Zayden and asked, “Yosef and I are going out for a stroll, Mr. Surrington. Will
you be all right on your own?”
It was only then that Zayden remembered the matter and responded, “Go ahead.”

After that, she rushed out like a gust of wind. Her laughter was full of joy.
Michael looked toward the door and thought that the girl was quite lively and had a good temperament.
Catching the sight of Michael's gaze, Zayden explained, “She's a young maid who has been looking
after me recently.”
Michael withdrew his gaze and smiled. “I'm going to hold a party for Gwen on Saturday where I'll reveal
her identity and announce your engagement. What do you think?”
That was exactly what Zayden wanted to hear. He curved his lips into a faint smile. “I've always liked
Gwen, and I've been with her for the past six years, so I have no objections.”
Michael nodded in response. “That's good, then. Zayden, this is what you owe Gwen. You made her
bear six years of slander. I hope you'll treat her well from now on and make her happy.”
That was Michael's wish. Since Gwendolyn was young, she had never had a mother and her father
didn't care about her. She had had a miserable life.
It was he who had always been protecting her, and that was why she became a little happier.
Zayden replied, “Don't worry, Old Mr. Ashton. I'll take good care of Gwen. I'm also getting my eyes
treated, and the doctor said they will recover.”
He wanted to reassure Michael that he was fine. After all, he was not blind.
