Chapter 260

Liam smiled a little. “I'm too busy, and girls don't like someone like me that way.”

It's the truth. Girls nowadays want their boyfriends to be at their beck and call.

As for him, he had to answer Patrick's beck and call, which left him with no time for girlfriends.

His last girlfriend broke up with him because he was not there for her when she was sick. With thatthought, Liam gulped down a mouthful of wine.

Patrick raised his eyebrows. “Hmm, I'll be sure to give you more free time when you get a girlfriend inthe future.”

Liam jumped at Patrick's words. “Mr. Lowen, don't fire me, please! I will work with all my heart.Girlfriends aren't important.”

Patrick took a bite of food. “I wasn't going to fire you. You need to take care of your own issues, too.”

Liam suddenly felt as if his boss had changed. Somehow, he had some empathy now.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn had reached home, and she opened the gate to her yard.

Stepping in, she saw two guards standing at the living room's entrance. Juliette ran over as soon asshe saw her.

She whispered, “Mommy, those two people keep standing there like wooden pillars.”

Her big eyes occasionally flitted over to the guards, who indeed looked like two wooden pillars.

Anyway, Gwendolyn knew who those people were.

She brought her yarn into the living room. That night she had to sort out balls of yarn, then knit asweater for Patrick.

The guards finally moved and spoke when she entered the room. “Ms. Gwendolyn!”

Gwendolyn looked over. “Grandpa sent you, didn't he?”

One of them answered, “Ms. Gwendolyn, Old Mr. Ashton told us to bring you, Julian, Justin, andJuliette to the Ashton residence.”

Gwendolyn furrowed her brows. “Grandpa wants to meet them?”

Remembering the fuss her grandpa made at the time of her pregnancy, she was hesitant to go.

Although she did agree to bring her children to see him some time ago, it was only an empty promise.To actually do it still made her worry.

She didn't want pointing fingers and mocking gazes aimed at her sweethearts. To her, these childrenwere her sweethearts—the best present she received in life.

“Yes, Ms. Gwendolyn.”

Gwendolyn looked at her three children. Her two sons were in the living room, unaffected. They werepreoccupied with their laptops, fiddling with something she didn't understand.

She wouldn't get it even if she tried, but they had told her before that what they were doing, which wascoding, could bring in money.

If they enjoyed it, then she would support them.

Placing the yarn down, she looked at her children.

“Sweethearts, we're going to meet your great-grandpa later. Would you guys like that?”

No relatives were in her life so far, and the children might not even know what a great-grandpa was.

Nonetheless, her grandpa was the one who asked for a meeting this time, and she could not refuse.

Her grandpa was once the person who treated her the best in this world, after all.

Juliette nodded fervently. “Yes! Yes!”

Young Juliette didn't understand what a great-grandpa was. But she liked crowds, and she likedsocializing with people.

Julian and Justin looked at her and said in unison, “We'll let you decide!”

As long as she wanted them to go, they would definitely comply.

Gwendolyn thought about it for a moment. It was going to happen sooner or later, so I might as well getit done today!

“You can wait for us outside. We'll be out as soon as we get changed,” said Gwendolyn to the guards.

Together, the guards answered, “Yes, miss!”

Juliette turned to her mother after she saw the guards leave. “Mommy, why did they call you that?”

The two sons had expected it. Their mother had elegance, and they assumed that she was probablyfrom a good family.

Even though she never brought it up, they could sense that her life in the past was likely very lavish.

Gwendolyn smiled. “I was the eldest in my family, so they politely addressed me that way.”

She gently stroked Juliette's face. “Sweetheart, behave yourself when you all meet Great-grandpa, andpay attention to what you say.”
