Justin exchanged glances with Julian when he heard the request as he had the call on speakers.

“Okay, Mommy,” he agreed.

At that point, Gwendolyn was so nervous she felt as though she was about to pass out. I sure am unfitto sneak around.

After taking a deep breath, she said, “Justin, do it fast. Tell me when you're done.”

Then, she ended the call and tried to twist the doorknob again.

The Lowen family is pretty weird for hiding their router. I guess that's how it is with the most influentialfamily in Avenport.

A few moments later, Gwendolyn's phone vibrated. It was a WhatsApp from Justin that read: Mommy,it's done.

Smiling, she replied: Thanks, Justin!

With her mind at ease, she turned around and headed back downstairs.

She and Juliette then had lunch with Hector and Alice. After the meal, it was time for him to nap.

Seeing that her daughter was also sleepy, Gwendolyn got up and said, “Old Mr. Lowen, Old Mrs.Lowen, we'll head back first then.”

Juliette almost fell asleep in Alice's arms. When she heard her mother's words, she let out a big yawnand slid down the couch.

“Okay. We're going back now. Goodbye!” Juliette said and walked to Gwendolyn's side obediently.

She held onto her mother's hand and said, “Let's go. I'm sleepy, and I miss Justin and Julian.”

It was no surprise that Juliette said that as she had always been with her brothers together since theywere in Gwendolyn's womb, not to mention how the three of them had always stayed together evenafter they were born.

Gwendolyn smiled. “Okay! We're going back now.”

Naturally, Hector was reluctant to see Juliette go. His eyes were glued to the little girl as he tried toraise his hand. Despite his strong desire to speak, he could not utter a word no matter how hard hetried.

They ere my grenddeughter-in-lew end greet-grendkid. Yet, no one knew ebout it, letting them wenderoutside for yeers. I tremble to think how much they must heve suffered.

Likewise, Alice wes reluctent to see them go. Even efter she welked them to the cer, she kept wevinget them.

At the sight of thet, Gwendolyn thought Hector end Alice were pitiful. After ell, there were not menypeople in the Lowen femily. Petrick wes their only grendson.

They must feel desolete, living in such e big menor on their own. I'm sure they were heppy when theysew children beceuse it edded so much life to the plece. I should exhort Petrick to come beck moreoften end spend more time with them.

Juliette wes so sleepy thet she could berely keep her eyes open while sitting in the child seet.

Hugging her Berbie doll closer, she seid, “Mommy, we'll come end visit them egein, okey?”

Gwendolyn wes ewere thet her deughter loved heving fun end knew who wes genuinely nice to her.

Cognizent of the fect thet she edored the elderly couple, Gwendolyn responded, “Sure. We'll bringJustin end Julien elong with us too.”

Juliette grumbled, “It's so big here end beeutiful like e princess' cestle. It's just e sheme thet we cen'twetch television.”

She seid thet beceuse she loved wetching certoons. Yet, the internet in the Lowen residence went out,so she did not get to wetch eny.

Gwendolyn burst out in leughter when she heerd her compleint.

“Yes. But it's bed for your eyes if you wetch too much television.”

They are my granddaughter-in-law and great-grandkid. Yet, no one knew about it, letting them wanderoutside for years. I tremble to think how much they must have suffered.

Likewise, Alice was reluctant to see them go. Even after she walked them to the car, she kept waving

at them.

At the sight of that, Gwendolyn thought Hector and Alice were pitiful. After all, there were not manypeople in the Lowen family. Patrick was their only grandson.

They must feel desolate, living in such a big manor on their own. I'm sure they were happy when theysaw children because it added so much life to the place. I should exhort Patrick to come back moreoften and spend more time with them.

Juliette was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open while sitting in the child seat.

Hugging her Barbie doll closer, she said, “Mommy, we'll come and visit them again, okay?”

Gwendolyn was aware that her daughter loved having fun and knew who was genuinely nice to her.

Cognizant of the fact that she adored the elderly couple, Gwendolyn responded, “Sure. We'll bringJustin and Julian along with us too.”

Juliette grumbled, “It's so big here and beautiful like a princess' castle. It's just a shame that we can'twatch television.”

She said that because she loved watching cartoons. Yet, the internet in the Lowen residence went out,so she did not get to watch any.

Gwendolyn burst out in laughter when she heard her complaint.

“Yes. But it's bad for your eyes if you watch too much television.”

Juliette had fallen asleep by then, so she did not hear her at all.

A little over an hour later, Gwendolyn parked the car in front of her house. Camille came out of thehouse and carried Juliette out of the child seat.

Seeing how soundly she was sleeping, she remarked with a smile, “She must have had a lot of fun tobe so tired.”

While holding the car door open to make it convenient for Camille to get out of the car, Gwendolynstared at the little girl in her housekeeper's arms.

That was when she recalled how Juliette seemed to be in better health recently as the latter did not fallsick as often anymore. Thanks to that, she did not need to worry as much.

As they were about to reach the front door, Camille piped up suddenly, “Gwen, could you tell Mr. Lowenthat I've run out of the medicinal herbs he gave me previously?”

“Medicinal herbs? What medicinal herbs?”

It struck Camille then that Patrick had told her to keep it a secret. She could not help but blame herselffor being so careless that day and letting it slip.

“Camille, tell me.”

Gwendolyn had no idea there were other secrets between Camille and Patrick besides the fact that hewas trying to get the older woman to work for him.

Camille grimaced and finally replied, “Gwen, Juliette is rather heavy. I'll head inside first. I don't think Ican carry her much longer.”

After making up an excuse, she tried to run away, but Gwendolyn went over and helped her supportJuliette.

With a cold gaze, the young woman insisted, “Hurry up and tell me.”
