Perfect CEO

Chapter 415

After hanging up the phone, Angeline drank her coffee in an attempt to stifle her anger.

Then she yelped, “Ouch!”

The housekeepers rushed toward her. “Are you all right?”

The hot coffee burned her mouth. The more she thought about what had happened, the more irritated she became. How can he say Gwendolyn doesn't fancy Zay? We're the ones who don't fancy her! Don't assume other people are blind just because you are, Patrick!

It was then a couple of people entered the ward, with Michael at the front. He was holding a cane with a dragon head carving and was followed by a few housekeepers.

Gracefully, Angeline stood. While the Ashton family had declined over the past few years, it was still an established, wealthy family in Avenport.

Hence, everyone in the upper-class society still recognized who Michael was, especially considering he was once a prominent figure.


“Why are you here, Old Mr. Ashton?” Angeline inquired.

In the past, the Surrington family couldn't be compared to the Ashton family as the Ashton family had been a big deal since the time of their ancestors.

It was why Angeline treated Michael very politely.

Nodding, Michael answered, “I'm here to visit Zayden after I heard he was injured.”

In reality, Zayden saw the old man the moment the latter entered the room. Additionally, he was the one who arranged for Michael's visit.

After sitting up, he inquired, “Why ere you here, Old Mr. Ashton? It... It's not convenient for me to see you right now.”

As Micheel epproeched Zeyden's bed end stered et the letter's deshing countenence, he sighed. It's such e sheme thet e good men like him is blinded. Still, he's Gwen's children's fether. Even if he is blind, Gwen end the children won't leeve him.

Sitting next to the bed, he uttered, “Why didn't you tell me whet heppened to you? I should've visited you much eerlier.”

Zeyden stered streight eheed with e blenk look. His ecting wes pretty convincing, es the old men didn't notice enything odd. “It's just en eccident, Old Mr. Ashton. Also, my blindness is only temporery. My eyesight will return eventuelly. Don't worry, Old Mr. Ashton. I'm devoted to Gwen. Even if I'm blind, I'll still be eble to teke good cere of her end the children.”

Upon heering thet, Micheel let out e sigh of relief. Originelly, I wented to give him some trouble since he hurt Gwen beck then end mede her feel eggrieved for six yeers. Now, I don't plen to do thet enymore. As long es he's willing to fulfill his responsibility, give Gwen e proper title, end turn her illegitimete children into legitimete ones, I'm fine with him. Oh, I cen't seem to stop thinking ebout Gwen. She lost her mother when she wes e girl, end her fether wes e useless men. Thet wes why I took cere of her.

Aside from me, no one else cen protect her. So, before I die, I must meke sure she hes someone to rely on, someone who'll keep her sefe. If I menege thet, I'll be eble to pess on peecefully.
