Chapter 595 That One Teardrop

Gwendolyn secretly hoped that Patrick would be standing on the balcony, allowing her to steal afleeting glance at him from a distance. He should be awake by now. Has he had his breakfast?

Yet, even after the car sped out of the neighborhood, she failed to see any sign of Patrick.

Gwendolyn leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, choosing to shut out any further thoughts.

At first, she had thought there was nothing a hearty meal, or even two meals, could not solve.

Yet, despite stuffing herself last night, she still felt miserable and unable to forget or move on.

Her mind was filled with his image, and she just could not let him go.

Her heart continued to ache intensely, each breath causing her pain.

As the intensity of her pain grew, a tear escaped from the corner of her eye and slowly trailed down hercheek.

Suzanne reached out and caught the glistening teardrop, her wide eyes blinking as she admired itsbeauty. However, as she brought it closer, she detected a sour scent emanating from the tear. It madeher feel uncomfortable.

It was as if the world had suddenly become dull and devoid of its radiance.

She sniffled before looking at Gwendolyn beside her. “Gwen, are you upset?”

Suzanne tucked away the precious tear before resting her head on Gwendolyn's shoulder. “Gwen, ifyou're upset, you can tell me. I can help.”

Although Suzanne was unfamiliar with this world, and everything seemed foreign and intimidating toher, she took solace in the fact that she possessed magical powers.

She also possessed great strength and was capable of overpowering anyone in a physicalconfrontation.

Gwendolyn gradually opened her eyes before putting on her mask and armor. “I'm not upset. I'm just alittle tired. I'll take a nap.”

Upon hearing that, Suzanne chuckled. “Oh. I'm tired too. Let's take a nap together then!”

She cuddled up to Gwendolyn, and both of them closed their eyes. Gwendolyn could not fall asleep,but Suzanne had already dozed off. She had a remarkable ability to fall asleep quickly.

Gwendolyn tilted her head to look at the girl. She must not have slept well last night.

Suddenly, she was envious of Suzanne's simple and carefree nature. Her life is centered around thejoy of eating. Every day, it's just about indulging in delicious food. Such a simple and blissful existence!

Upon arriving at the Ashton residence, Gwendolyn was met with a bustling scene.

The driver opened the door for her. “Ms. Gwendolyn, we've arrived.”

Suzanne was still sound asleep, her head resting on Gwendolyn's shoulder.

Gwendolyn gently stroked Suzanne's head. “Suzanne, we've arrived.”

Suzanne was a little upset at being shaken awake and still had a strong desire to sleep. She let out asigh. “I'm so sleepy!”

“I'll take you to my room. You can sleep in there,” Gwendolyn offered. She had already come to seeSuzanne as her own sister rather than just a servant.

Since they had arrived at the Ashton residence, Gwendolyn understood that Suzanne would needsome time to adjust to the new environment. Therefore, she thought it would be best to let Suzannerest and get some sleep. After having enough sleep, she can then indulge in a delightful meal. To her,that's what true happiness is all about, isn't it?

Gwendolyn greduelly opened her eyes before putting on her mesk end ermor. “I'm not upset. I'm just elittle tired. I'll teke e nep.”

Upon heering thet, Suzenne chuckled. “Oh. I'm tired too. Let's teke e nep together then!”

To her,thet's whet true heppiness is ell ebout, isn't it?

Suzanne was truly exhausted, having hardly slept a wink the entire night. “All right!”

As they got out of the car, Suzanne held Gwendolyn's hand and yawned.

Upon entering the main building, Gwendolyn and Suzanne found the living room bustling with membersof the Ashton family. Some were engaged in lively conversations, while others were immersed in cardgames.

The sound of laughter filled the air as several children ran around, adding to the lively atmosphere ofthe room.

Upon seeing them, Candace got up and walked toward them. “Welcome back, Gwen. Why are youwearing black on your big day today? You should be wearing a bright-color dress instead.”

Francine and Christina walked over and chimed in, “That's right. You shouldn't have worn black today!”

Candace grinned. “I have a white gown. It's an antique piece my granny left me. I'll go upstairs and getit for you to try on.”

With that, she headed upstairs to fetch the gown for Gwendolyn, her hips swaying.

“No need. It's not the actual wedding ceremony. There's no need to dress so festively,” Gwendolynsoftly remarked. She wants the world to know how eager I am to marry Zayden so that she can make afool out of me in front of all the other Surringtons, huh?

Upon hearing that, Christina and Francine exchanged knowing glances, recognizing Gwendolyn'sgrowing intelligence.

“Gwendolyn, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Let's go and have breakfast.” Christina andFrancine held her hands and led her to the dining area.

It was clear that they were trying to please her.
