Chapter 484

Everyone at the table started to feel sorry for her. “I thought Gwen's life would only get better. I didn'tthink she would marry a blind man.”

“Yeah! Instead of enjoying herself, she's going to have to be a servant.”

Christina glanced at her daughter. “Do you see that? Don't be like Gwen. Hurry and replace a man to takecare of you. You should be more like Felicia and secure the most outstanding man in the world to beyour husband.”

Rachelle nibbled on her fruits, not even paying attention to such useless gossip. However, everyone'sattention ended up turning to her.

Her eyebrows knitted slightly as she said, “Yeah, yeah.”

But Nicolette couldn't stand it any longer. “It's possible for his blindness to be cured. What era do youthink we're in?”

She sat next to her dearest Gwendolyn, continuously spooning food on Gwendolyn's plate.

Gwendolyn reached under the table and tugged on Nicolette's hand, wordlessly telling her to stop.Otherwise, Francine would berate her, and Candace, especially, would give her a hard time again.

Candace coughed lightly, and everyone immediately fell silent, not daring to make a peep.

“All right, that's enough. Gwen will be marrying into the Surrington family, which is second only to theLowen family in Avenport. They are considered a wealthy family.”

She sounded like she was speaking up for Gwendolyn, but she was obviously implying her daughterwas marrying the best man in the world.

Just then, Gwendolyn's phone rang. She got up and went to a corner to answer it.

The phone call was from Lucy.

“Hi, Luce.”

“The Ashton family has invited me to the celebration too. I'll be there a bit later. Congratulations on youraward!”

Gwendolyn could practically hear the smile in Lucy's voice. She sounded genuinely happy for her.

“Thanks! If only Melanie could come too.”

Melanie had a great relationship with her three children. They would be the happiest at a gathering likethis.

Lucy glanced at her daughter, who was lying in bed. She had been in rather low spirits recently.

“Her surgery is next week. After she gets better, I'll take her everywhere with me.”

The two of them laughed. “Okay, I'll let you get back to it. Be careful, and don't let that mother-and-daughter pair trick you,” Lucy said.

“Yeah, I got it.”

After ending the call, Gwendolyn went to take a walk outside. If she went back into the room, theconversation topic would eventually turn to her.

She would rather head out for some fresh air.

Nicolette followed after her. “Gwen.”

Gwendolyn turned her head to look at her. “Why did you come out here too?”

“It's so boring in there, and I don't like listening to the things they talk about. Let's take a stroll aroundthe courtyard!”

Just then, Gwendolyn's phone rang. She got up and went to a corner to answer it.

Nicolette took her hand and asked, “Gwen, are you really going to marry Zayden?”

She had seen Zayden before. He was quite handsome and had an elegant demeanor. To girls at theirage, he was practically a charming older man.

Gwendolyn froze slightly. This is getting out of hand.

“Nic, I'm not planning to get married yet.”

Nicolette was a bit stunned. “You're not? But they were speaking as if you were getting marriedtomorrow!”

The flowers in the courtyard were in full bloom. The end of spring was not too cold yet not too hot, andthe two girls strolled through the courtyard hand in hand.

“Fels is very proud of herself right now! If she really marries Patrick, we'll have no choice but to tolerateher antics.”

Nicolette couldn't help but heave a sigh.

“If only you were the one marrying Patrick. He's handsome, and his vision is fine.”

In Avenport, Patrick was practically every woman's dream man. It was the same for Nicolette, whichwas why she felt Gwendolyn and Patrick were more compatible since she knew Gwendolyn'spersonality.

Gwen is a lot better than Fels. She wouldn't become full of herself or torment us after marrying Patrick.

Gwendolyn's eyes darkened slightly when she heard that.

I'm the one who is actually dating Patrick, but I can't tell anyone about it, especially my family. It sucks.
