Chapter 247

Gwendolyn passed by the housekeepers, acting as if nothing had happened. They immediately greetedher in fright once they saw her.

“Ms. Ashton!”

Gwendolyn nodded back in greeting with a smile.

After that, she went to the bathroom, leaving the scared housekeepers.

“Did she hear what we said just now?”

“I'm sure she did!”

“Don't be afraid. Even if she did, we just have to pretend we didn't say anything. In any case, it's a goodthing that she heard it. She should know her place.”

By the time Gwendolyn returned to the greenhouse, the gathering was already ending, and everyonewas taking photos at the moment.

Alice beckoned her over while saying, “Gwen, come here.”

Alice stood at the center, and Gwendolyn went to her side, standing in the first row. Beside her wereLinda and Rosalie.

Candace was not even qualified to take pictures with them. She sat alone at the table while watchingthe other ladies happily take pictures.

After the gathering was over, Gwendolyn left the venue with Alice.

Rosalie and Linda accompanied them to the door to send them off.

Rosalie stood in front of Alice and said, “Old Mrs. Lowen, is Patrick busy lately? I have been backhome for two weeks, but we haven't seen each other yet.”

She wanted to meet Patrick, but whenever she called his phone, it was always his assistant whoanswered. The assistant also said that he was very busy and that she needed to make an appointmentin order to meet him.

Furious, she tried to ask Kevin for help, but he ignored her.

Having run out of ideas, she asked her grandmother to host the gathering so that she could meet Aliceand ask her to arrange something.

She did not expect that Alice would bring Patrick's girlfriend with her to the gathering, which angeredher. Moreover, because of this, Linda could no longer mention anything about the marriage betweenher and Patrick.

Alice glanced at Gwendolyn at her side and smiled faintly.

“Pat has been busy lately. Except for his girlfriend, he doesn't even have the time to accompany me.Try asking him again when he's free.”

Alice was polite in her rejection. She even helped her grandson with just a few sentences.

Rosalie's expression turned stiff for a moment. It never crossed her mind that Alice would refuse herdirectly.

Since this was the case, she set her sight on Gwendolyn.

It was evident that Gwendolyn was quite favored by Alice, and there was a big possibility that the lattereven preferred Gwendolyn over Rosalie.

She now knew that it would be hopeless to try her luck with Alice.

Linda saw her granddaughter's stiff expression and took over the conversation.

“Alice, this is a rosary I made just for you.” As she said that, her housekeeper handed over a small bagto Alice's housekeeper.

Alice then thanked her, “Thank you.”

Gwendolyn and Rosalie stood aside while the two older women chatted. Rosalie observedGwendolyn's facial features and felt somewhat awkward.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn took out her phone and glanced at the time. It was already past three in theafternoon.

Thinking that she could still go to the company to do some work, she played with her phone for a while.

Rosalie approached her and nudged her shoulder.

“Ms. Ashton, does Patrick usually have time to accompany you?”

She thought that Patrick certainly would not spend much time with Gwendolyn. He might not even tellher what flower was his favorite. Since he definitely did not tell her about himself, that can only meanthat she is not important to him.

Gwendolyn shifted her sight from her phone to the young woman beside her.

The young woman wore a long red dress with a white woolen shawl draped over her shoulders. Shehad a round face and large eyes, making her look very adorable. Gwendolyn guessed that she must bequite young.

“He is very busy, so he doesn't really have the time to accompany me.”

Besides, why must he accompany me? I'm not really his girlfriend, and if we want to meet, we canmeet every day at work. After working hours, we both have our own lives to live.

Rosalie smiled and thought that things were as she guessed.

“You are older than me, right? I'll call you Gwen from now on, so is that okay? Give me your WhatsAppcontact number. We can go shopping together or go out for coffee when we're free.”

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn took out her phone and glanced at the time. It was already past three in theafternoon.
