Perfect CEO

Zayden went along with it, had his eyes examined, and received psychotherapy.

Instead of Gwendolyn, he asked Suzanne to accompany him to the treatment all this while.

When Gwendolyn headed downstairs, she was met by the sight of Angeline sitting in the living room, drinking coffee.

Noticing the young woman descending the stairs, Angeline instinctively turned around.

“Where is Zay?”

Angeline assumed Gwendolyn had failed to convince her son, who must be throwing a temper tantrum.

Sitting beside the older woman, Gwendolyn smiled and stated, “He went for the checkup.”

In an apparent state of excitement, Angeline exclaimed, “Really?”

She grabbed and shook Gwendolyn's shoulders.

Nodding, Gwendolyn replied, “Yes.”

However, unbeknownst to Angeline, the former had promised Zayden one thing, which was detrimental to the older woman.

The overjoyed Angeline poured Gwendolyn a cup of coffee and offered her some desserts.

“Thank you.”

Feeling delighted, the older woman then rose to her feet and walked to the kitchen. “Laila, please make a few more of Zayden's favorite dishes,” she instructed.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of coffee. She hadn't added any milk or sugar, so the beverage should've tasted bitter, but Gwendolyn couldn't taste the bitterness at all.

No matter how acrid the coffee was, it couldn't compare to the despair in her heart.

Gwendolyn seemed lost in thought as she held the coffee cup to her lips, taking sip after sip of coffee.

Both she and Angeline accompanied Zayden for lunch. The man could now eat with a fork by himself, probably after having practiced doing so.

Angeline constantly placed food on his plate while he fumbled about to eat. It wasn't so tiring for him as Suzanne sat beside him the entire time and helped him.

Suddenly lifting his head, Zayden said, “Mom, give some to Gwen too.”

A smile stretched across his face as he spoke.

“She has agreed to marry me, and I'll get the ring in a bit. In the meantime, you should also prepare to pay a visit to her family to bring up the marriage proposal.”

Gwendolyn's gaze shifted to him when she heard his words. Tears clouded her eyes while a dejected look hung on her face.

Angeline placed a lot of food on Gwendolyn's plate. “Gwen, we will definitely treat you and your family with utmost courtesy, given how much Zayden adores you. I'll make sure you get all the betrothal gifts you deserve.”

With her head hung low, Gwendolyn continued eating and did not say a word.

Undoubtedly, Zayden saw her expression and knew she was still thinking of Patrick and couldn't forget about that man.

He slightly narrowed his eyes and curled the corner of his lips into a sneer.

Patrick Lowen, can't you see that a woman's heart is broken because of you? D*mn it! I was the one who met her first, and I was the one who was always by her side, helping her. How could you take her away from me the moment you showed up? Hmph! It doesn't matter now, does it? In the end, she's still my woman.

After lunch, Zayden needed to rest. Gwendolyn came up with an excuse, saying she had something to deal with, and left.

On the third day, she went to the hospital early in the morning.

Melanie was watching cartoons in the ward. Although she didn't look well, her eyes were still bright and dazzling.

Lucas had already changed into a hospital gown with blue and white stripes. It was the same one that Melanie was wearing.
