Felicia added, “Patrick, you're just a back-up partner to Gwendolyn. She'd have surely clung on to youif it wasn't for Zayden admitting to Grandpa about what he did before.”

Hearing that, Patrick slowly moved his gaze toward her with a smirk on his face.

“You don't have the right to say all that to me. Now, leave.”

Even Lucy couldn't take it anymore as she walked toward them.

“What are you bullsh*tting about, Felicia? Gwen is nothing like the woman you said she was. She justhad her own reasons. Plus, Zayden is her benefactor, so she's just returning the favor.”

After saying that, Lucy turned to Patrick and said, “Mr. Lowen, you need to believe in Gwen. She reallydoes love you. You have to trust her.”

Lucas then pulled the agitated Lucy to his side and warned her in a serious tone, “Lucy! Stop causingtrouble!”

However, Lucy was still extremely agitated. “Why are you pulling on me? I just don't want him tomisunderstand Gwen! Gwen is an amazing woman. You all just don't understand what's going on!”

Gwendolyn's family situation was a complicated one. Michael used to shun her from the family, andGwendolyn herself had never once claimed that she was from the Ashton family.

Now that Michael wanted to disclose her identity and accept her into the family, Gwendolyn had noright to refuse.

Moreover, Gwendolyn was kind. She wouldn't just leave Zayden to fend for himself, and no one knewhow they even got involved with each other in the first place.

Lucy didn't understand what was going on as well.

Lucas said coldly, “Pat will deal with this himself, so it doesn't matter what you say.”

What type of person does she think Pat is? He will never believe in what others say to him, so stopexplaining. The more she explains, the angrier he will get. Plus, with his current mood, those whoprovoke him will be in for it!

Lucas was afraid that Patrick would go off on Lucy. Patrick had a knack for scolding, so Lucas wasworried that Lucy would cry if Patrick were to really go off on her.

Felicia approached Patrick. “Pat, you can't believe what Lucy just said. She's a single mother as well.The same type of woman Gwendolyn is. Both of them are just looking for a back-up partner so thattheir children could have someone to look after them.”

Lucas didn't like what he was hearing. His face darkened, and just when he was about to speak up,Patrick said, “Shut up.”

It just so happened that Hector was walking toward them, and he scowled when he heard what Patrickhad uttered.

“Are you both fighting? When will you stop?”

After that, he grabbed Felicia's hand and placed both Felicia's and Patrick's hands together.

“Hold on to each other and follow me. We'll be meeting the in-laws now.”

Just then, Michael brought Gwendolyn and Zayden toward them.

Hector saw them and smiled as he called out, “Old Mr. Ashton, we'll be a family soon.”

Candace was standing right behind Gwendolyn and Zayden. She showed up with Zachary as wellsince she was Gwendolyn's stepmother.

Otherwise, she would be dubbed a terrible mother if she didn't attend.

Candace was very wary of what people would say about her, so she wanted to be a good mother and agood wife for others to see.

When she saw Hector, her eyes lit up. Why is he here?

Hector was still bedridden when she visited him in the hospital. At that time, he was wearing an oxygenmask, so she couldn't take a good look at him.

Hector looked lively that day. Even though his hair was all white, his aura and posture were stillintimidating. She immediately recognized him.

He was the one who paid Candace back then so that Gwendolyn could give birth first before marryinginto the Lowen family.

So that's Old Mr. Lowen of the Lowen family... Would he recognize me? She didn't even know what todo now.

She wanted to retreat when she saw him, and she even subconsciously tried to block her own face.

Candace finally understood why Hector insisted on the marriage between Patrick and Felicia. It wasbecause he mistook Felicia for Gwendolyn.

Candace was now panicking. If Hector were to replace out, then the marriage between Patrick and Feliciawould be called off, and Felicia would surely be desperate when that happened.

Her eyes widened in shock as a thought flashed through her mind. Wait. Could it be that Gwendolyn'schildren are Patrick's?

That thought scared her so much that she became anxious.

She wanted to leave the scene immediately, fearing that everything would be exposed. However,Zachary pulled her hand.

“Candace, we're Fel's parents. Let's go greet them.”
