Perfect CEO

Gwendolyn stayed for dinner with Michael before departing with Zayden.

Michael's smile widened as he watched the two of them leave together. Turning to Harry, he said, “Harry, we've watched Gwen grow up, and now she's going to start her own family. We sure are getting on in years.”

Harry stood next to Michael as he watched Gwendolyn get into the car. With a smile, he replied, “Indeed. Ms. Gwendolyn grew up to be so beautiful. Her sons and daughter greatly resemble her. She really has it all.”

Suzanne was seated in the passenger seat when Gwendolyn got into Zayden's car. She turned around to look at the two of them who sat down behind her.

Gwendolyn and Zayden did not speak. The latter had an icy expression on his face, and it made Suzanne feel as if the temperature in the car suddenly plummeted.

Feeling a chill run down her body, she grabbed a lollipop and quickly stuffed it into her mouth. The sweetness helped with calming her nerves a little.

Gwendolyn took out her phone and stared at Patrick's call log. He had not phoned her again since the last missed call.

Perhaps he and Felicia are currently busy with Old Mr. Lowen. I'd only be bothering them if I called.

Gwendolyn thought back to the words Candace had said to her at the dining table. The other woman's words had embedded themselves in her heart.

“Fel has already moved into Patrick's mansion. The two of them are going to take care of Old Mr. Lowen while Old Mrs. Lowen stays at the church for a month. To be honest, Fel is tasked with something quite difficult. She's not even married yet, but she already has to shoulder the burden of granddaughter-in-law.”

Gwendolyn felt terrible when she recalled those words.

Following that, she exited the call log and tapped into WhatsApp to send Lucy a message.

She wrote: Luce, is Melanie awake? How is she? I'm heading over right now.

Since Gwendolyn had to keep Michael company during the day, she could only visit the mother-and-daughter duo at night.

Lucy's reply soon came. Melanie's gone back to the regular ward and is currently recuperating.

Gwendolyn smiled when she read the response. Her slender fingers typed out a quick reply: Hooray! That's great news!

Zayden's gaze turned even darker when he noticed Gwendolyn's radiant smile. All of a sudden, he reached out and slapped away the phone in her hand.

Gwendolyn flinched. “Ah...”

Her expression changed as the phone landed on top of her foot.

Zayden inquired, “What's wrong?”

He had assumed that Gwendolyn was smiling so happily because she was messaging Patrick. Furious that she would message another man while she was in his presence, he had purposely smacked her phone to interrupt them.

Gwendolyn bit down on her lip and endured the pain as she picked up her phone. “It's nothing. I dropped my phone.”

Suzanne stole a quick glance behind her before hurriedly looking away. She was afraid that Zayden would scold her if she was too inquisitive.

“Who were you chatting with?” Zayden asked, his tone ice-cold. He leaned back against his seat and turned his face away. From her current position, Gwendolyn could only see the back of his head.

It was obvious that he was angry. Previously, Gwendolyn thought that he was a warm and affectionate man who made her comfortable whenever she was with him. He had never caused her to feel stressed out.
