Chapter 26

Michael had also avoided talking about the triplets. That matter remained a thorn in Michael's andGwendolyn's hearts.

It was not easy for Michael to see Gwendolyn again. Hence, he did not want to mess things up.

There was not a day that he did not think about Gwendolyn throughout these six years.

Gwendolyn took out a gift box from her bag and passed it to Michael. “Grandpa, this is for you. It'll beyour birthday next month, so I'm giving this to you in advance.”

He took the box from her and opened it. Inside the box, there was a jade with a unique color. Michaelsmiled at her. “You don't have to spend your money on me, Gwen.”

Michael would gladly accept anything Gwendolyn gifted him, as it was an expression of love from her.

After that, both of them had lunch together. Michael had the habit of taking a nap. He sat in the livingroom when they finished eating. Soon, he started to feel sleepy.

“Gwen, your room is still there. Go in and rest if you're tired. We have guests coming over tonight, soyou should stay for dinner. You can go home after they leave. I still have many things that I wish to tellyou,” said Michael.

Gwendolyn had wanted to go back earlier to look for jobs online. Since Michael had asked her to say,she did not want to ruin his mood. It would only take her a day, anyway.

Gwendolyn agreed, “Okay, Grandpa. I'll stay for dinner.”

Zachary, Candace, and Felicia were in the living room, so Gwendolyn did not want to be there. Theywould take the chance to mock her once Michael went back to his room. Gwendolyn did not want tofight with them.

She rose to her feet and helped Michael up. “Grandpa, let me help you back to your room.”

After Gwendolyn and Michael went upstairs, the three of them in the living room wore their grim looks.Candace scoffed, “Darling, Gwen hasn't come home for years, and she has become ruder than before.”

Candace always had a knack for turning things in her favor. She had been trying to seduce Zacharysince she approached him back then. With that, she had eventually gotten in between Zachary and hiswife before ruining his relationship with Gwendolyn.

Zachary looked upset upon hearing what Candace said. He changed the subject to avoid ruining hismood. “Fel, when the Lowen family is here later, don't let them know that Gwendolyn is my daughter.”

Zachary refused to acknowledge Gwendolyn as his daughter because he felt embarrassed by herbehavior and what she had done.

A smug look appeared on Felicia's face. “No problem, Dad.”

She sat next to Zachary, held his hand, and comforted, “Dad, don't be mad. You still have me. I'm yourbest daughter.”

Zachary smiled and reached out his hand to pat Felicia's head. “Yes, I'm lucky to have met yourmother. I feel that my life is better having you as my daughter.”

The truth was if Zachary had not cheated on his wife, Gwendolyn would not have treated him like herenemy.

Candace sat beside Zachary and leaned on him.

Then she said coyly, “Darling, Gwendolyn should have a good look at Fel's future husband later. He'sthe head of the wealthiest family in Avenport. Gwendolyn should show some respect to Fel instead ofplaying dirty tricks and fighting with us. Also, she should stop buttering Old Mr. Ashton up.”

Fury flashed across Zachary's eyes. In fact, he did not want to see Gwendolyn at all.

Initially, Gwendolyn only wanted to lean against the bed and rest for a while. Little did she know, shefell into a deep slumber. When she woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

She jolted awake and thought she had imagined things when the familiar old room came into sight.

Being in her room felt like she was back in her younger years when she was still the precious daughterof the Ashton family, who was loved by everyone.

She touched her face to sober up. Her room looked just as it was before. Hence, she ended upoversleeping just now.

It seemed like nothing had changed, but in reality, everything was no longer the same. Gwendolyn satin a daze and forced herself not to reminisce about the past. She was living a good life, and she wasblessed with three beloved children.

Gwendolyn was not disheartened at her current life.

She got up and freshened herself up in the bathroom. After that, she opened her door and walked outof the room.

At the same time, someone opened the door of the guest room opposite. A tall figure appeared, andtheir eyes met.
