Chapter 507

Eventually, Gwendolyn returned home in sadness. Camille was still waiting for her when she enteredthe house.

“Did you drink alcohol tonight, Gwen? I made you some hangover remedy.”

Feeling distraught and in a daze, Gwendolyn merely replied, “I'm fine. I didn't drink much today.”

After that, she slowly trudged upstairs. Camille couldn't help but notice that Gwendolyn wasn't like thiswhen she went out earlier.

She was still fine before that. Why does she seem so dazed?

“Are you all right, Gwen?”

Gwendolyn didn't seem to hear Camille's words of concern and returned to her room. It was asleepless night for Gwendolyn, for she barely got a wink of sleep, and all she dreamed of was Patricksaying that he no longer wanted her.

This caused her to oversleep the next day, to the point where she couldn't wake up immediately at all.

Camille didn't wake her up. Instead, she went out for some grocery shopping.

In the meantime, Angeline's car was waiting outside the house. She kept calling Gwendolyn's phone,but no one answered.

Angeline had no choice but to ask her housekeeper, that had tagged along, to ring the doorbell whilecalling out to Gwendolyn.

“Gwendolyn... Gwendolyn...”

The driver and housekeeper called out to Gwendolyn at the same time, uttering the woman's name atthe top of their lungs.

Gwendolyn instantly jolted awake when she heard them, her eyes fluttering open. She felt exhaustedeven after sleeping. While she wanted to wake up a long time ago, it felt as if she couldn't.

The voices outside the window were so loud that she got out of bed to look. As she drew the curtains,she was certain someone was calling her name, and it wasn't just her hallucinations.

Squinting slightly, Gwendolyn felt her head was still hurting a little bit. She reckoned it was because shedidn't get a good night's sleep.

She then opened the window and waved at the people downstairs.

“Mrs. Surrington.”

When Angeline saw that Gwendolyn finally responded to her, she was slightly unhappy. Even so,Angeline could not treat Gwendolyn poorly out of fear that her son wouldn't want to see her.

Thus, she could only compromise due to Zayden's current condition. She was willing to accommodatehis requests as long as he was fine and cooperative with his treatment.

In fact, Angeline didn't have a temper anymore as Zayden had completely tamed her.

Shortly after, Gwendolyn came to open the door and noticed Angeline standing next to thehousekeeper. She was clad in a light green dress, and the woman smiled elegantly at Gwendolyn.

“Did I wake you up, Gwen?”

Her demeanor toward Gwendolyn was gentle. Despite Gwendolyn's oversleeping and lack of responseto her calls, Angeline harbored zero disgruntlement and complaints toward the woman.

Gwendolyn wasn't quite used to the way Angeline was treating her. In the past, whenever the lattercame looking for Gwendolyn, she scream, yell, and make things difficult for her.

It was no wonder Gwendolyn was taken aback by Angeline's sudden change in demeanor toward her.

“I-I slept quite late last night, so that's why I overslept this morning,” Gwendolyn explained as sheruffled her hair awkwardly.

Angeline's one-eighty change in her behavior and temperament left Gwendolyn at a loss for what to do.

“I'm bringing a psychologist over there today. Go freshen up quickly. I'll wait in the car,” said Angeline.

Looks like she's just woken up. She's still in her pajamas right now!

Gwendolyn's eyes were also a little swollen. Then again, she was probably exhausted by the chaos atthe Ashton residence and had consumed a large amount of alcohol the night before.

Gwendolyn pointed inside and suggested, “Why don't you wait for me inside?”

She felt it was inappropriate to leave her guests standing outside the door.

Despite Gwendolyn politely inviting the older woman to come inside, the latter turned her down.

“No need. Perhaps I'll go inside when I pay you a formal visit next time.”

At that, Gwendolyn did not say anything further.

“I'll get changed, then. I'll be quick.”

Once the door closed, Angeline's expression took a sharp change as she turned around and headedtoward the car.

Her change of expression was absurdly swift and sudden. She was still smiling gently one moment,and the next moment, her expression turned cold and had a hint of anger.

Even the housekeeper next to her was shocked. Having waited outside the house for so long, sheknew that Angeline was sure to be furious.

But her attitude toward Ms. Ashton just now was really unprecedentedly nice. No one has ever madeMrs. Surrington wait for so long, yet she even greeted Ms. Ashton with a smile! Then again, the Ashtonfamily is the subject of every major news story today, and Ms. Ashton is the eldest daughter of thefamily. Her status is distinguished and prestigious.
