The smile on Zayden's face widened when he said that, but the light in his eyes dimmed.

Why do I have to do this for them to compromise? Why wouldn't they consider my feelings?

His gaze slowly shifted to Gwendolyn, and he pursed his lips imperceptibly.

You too, Gwen. Why can't you see me even though I have been by your side for so many years?Patrick hadn't been around long, but you'd already fallen in love with him.

“Heh...” He chuckled coldly. Everyone only knows how to force me...

“Mom, it's time for my checkup. I'm hanging up now.”

Then the call ended. Gwendolyn turned to look at Angeline. “Did he still refuse to see us?”

Angeline sighed. “He should be at home. He lied to me and said he was in the hospital. Zay haschanged, which makes me very worried.”

She abruptly held Gwendolyn's hand as she spoke. “Gwen, I'm begging you. Please help me. Couldyou please agree to be with Zay, even if it's only temporary? You can break up with him when his eyesare cured or when he has overcome his obstacle. Okay?”

Angeline had a strong suspicion that something was wrong with her son.

Gwendolyn frowned as she noticed Angeline's abrupt change in demeanor. “What did he say?”

Angeline shook her head. “It's nothing. It's just that he really likes you, and I promise not to make thingsdifficult for the both of you in the future.”

She smiled as she said those words and her attitude toward Gwendolyn had clearly changed.

Gwendolyn explained, “Zayden and I are just friends, Mrs. Surrington. I've never lied to you.”

Mrs. Surrington had previously tried to persuade me to leave Zayden. I had already made it clear at thetime, but she didn't believe me.

Angeline smiled. “Let's not talk about this. We should head back now!”

She ushered Gwendolyn into the car before turning her head and looking upstairs.

Zay should have heard about the situation downstairs from his servant. Gwendolyn and I havereconciled, and I will treat her well in the future.

Zayden stood in front of the window and watched as the two cars drove away.

He raised his hand and placed the cigarette into his mouth with a cold and sinister smile on the cornerof his mouth.

Zayden abruptly turned his head and called out, “Suzanne.”

Suzanne ran over quickly. “What's the matter, Mr. Surrington?”

She was holding a dragon fruit in her hand, and the corners of her mouth were red like blood.

Zayden frowned. “Iron my shirt later. I don't like wrinkled clothes.”

He entered the walk-in closet just now and noticed that the freshly washed clothes had not been ironedand were wrinkly, and he wasn't amused.

Suzanne nodded. “All right, Mr. Surrington.”

She then turned around and returned to her room, where she continued to eat the dragon fruit. I'll workafter I'm done eating. She smiled as she said those words and her attitude toward Gwendolyn had clearly changed.

Gwendolyn sat in the car, visibly troubled.

Grandpa's phone calls constantly reminded me that Zayden and I are a couple from his point of view.Zayden also claimed that the three children belonged to him. Ah, what a mess! On top of that, Mrs.Surrington is looking at me as if I am her savior.

“Where are you going later, Gwen? I'll go with you.”

Gwendolyn turned around to look at her. The proud Mrs. Surrington has disappeared, and she's actinglike a clingy child at the moment. She's still holding onto my hand, and no matter how hard I struggle,it's useless. “Mrs. Surrington, I still have some things to take care of. Just drop me off on the side of theroad once we arrive in town.”

Angeline shook her head. “That is simply unacceptable. You are Zay's girlfriend and will be my future

daughter-in-law. How could I leave you on the side of the road? We will take you home first.”

After saying that, she instructed coldly, “Send Ms. Ashton home first. Do you hear me?”

“Yes, Mrs. Surrington!”

Gwendolyn sighed as she turned to the side to look out the window. Mrs. Surrington's attitude changedso quickly that I almost couldn't recognize her.

“Gwen, which clothing brand do you like? Which beauty salon do you usually visit?”
