Perfect CEO

Diana laughed and said, “Let me ask my sister-in-law. I didn't know about this!”

Candace understood clearly what Diana meant. It looks like Ana is just waiting to watch a good show.

She refused to believe that the Surrington family would still want Gwendolyn as their daughter-in-law if they knew her truth.

After ending the call, Candace went back to the living room.

Gwendolyn was sitting next to Michael, who still loved the former as much as before.

Now that her three children were around, it seemed like he had no grudge against her anymore.

Zayden was beside them too. He had gifted Michael a box of the ceramic coffee set, and the latter regarded it as treasure.

He took it and kept looking at the coffee set while Zayden sat beside him to talk about it.

Seeing that the rest of the Ashton family were left aside, Candance could not help but find it funny. Sure enough, as long as Gwendolyn comes home, the rest of the Ashton family would fall out of his favor.

“Dad, dinner is ready. Everyone can eat now.”

Everyone walked into the dining hall. The dining hall in the Ashton residence was huge.

Gwendolyn, Zayden, and the three children ate at the main table with Michael.

Besides them, the three men from the Ashton family were also seated at the main table. On the other hand, the other female family members were at another small table, far away from Michael.

Michael was fond of Zayden. The latter was a young and promising man in Avenport. Thus, the older generation had taken note of him.

Michael and Zayden had a few drinks too. After dinner, the three children played with Michael for a while before leaving.

Zayden walked beside Gwendolyn. His smile was warm and radiant, like the sun. It showed that he was in a good mood that night.

The Ashton family did not send Gwendolyn and the rest out, but Zayden had already arranged for an MPV to pick them up.

The three children got into the MPV while Gwendolyn and Zayden conversed beside the car.

“Thank you so much for today, Zayden!” she said gratefully.

If it were not for his presence, her children would still be considered illegitimate in the eyes of Michael and the rest of the Ashton family.

The Ashton family's relatives would even call them b*stards.

Since Zayden was with them, the Ashton family kept their mouths shut, and Michael even approved of them.

Gwendolyn was grateful to Zayden since everything went fine.

He reached out and tucked her messy, long hair behind her ear. “You don't have to thank me. I should have come earlier to visit Grandpa.”

If Zayden had been more proactive, Gwendolyn would have married him already. At that moment, he regretted that he did not go to the Ashton residence to visit Michael sooner.

Gwendolyn furrowed her brows. It seemed like Zayden did not understand her feelings. “Zayden, you're not the children's father. I'll clear your name soon.”

“It's cold out here, so get in the car. I'm willing to be their father. You have no doubts about that, right?” His gaze darkened when he heard what Gwendolyn said.

Zayden had watched the children grow up before him. That was equivalent to him being involved in all of Gwendolyn's pregnancy and labor journey.

Even if he was not their biological father, he was already considered half a father of theirs.

Of course, Gwendolyn did not doubt his intentions. She bent down and got into the car while Zayden followed behind.
