Perfect CEO

Chapter 264

Juliette poked her head out as her tiny hands reached over to take the paper bag from Gwendolyn. She then waved at Zayden. “Mr. Zayden, can you have a look at this? Because I think Gwen is dumbfounded. I shook her a few times, but she didn't react.”

Zayden took it over, took a look, and laughed. “This is a gift from your great-grandpa. It's a big house!” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Really? Does that mean we have our own house now?” Juliette asked with her widened eyes.

Both Julian and Justin saw it too. They appeared calm, neither excited nor sad. They acted like it was something normal.

Zayden looked at Gwendolyn. He had a lovely voice, and there was a hint of warmth in his deep voice. “Gwen, your grandpa must have spoiled you when you were young.”

Just then, Gwendolyn regained her senses. She kept the deeds and nodded slightly after hearing what Zayden said.

“People were envious because of how Grandpa spoiled me. And it...” Gwendolyn did not finish her sentence.

She felt that it was unnecessary to tell someone about that.

Only she could understand the pain and hatred she felt.

At that moment, her phone rang. It was Angeline calling. Gwendolyn glanced at Zayden, but he was happily chatting with her three children.

Gwendolyn had a hunch that Angeline would call her. Hence, she answered the phone. “Hello.”

“Gwendolyn Ashton, what are you trying to convey by bringing Zay back home? Even if you're a part of the Ashton family, our family doesn't care. Stay away from Zay in the future.”

Angeline's shouting had nearly deafened Gwendolyn. She could tell that the former was infuriated.

She frowned slightly and replied, “I didn't bring him home. Don't worry. We're innocent. I have nothing to do with him.”

After hearing what Gwendolyn said, Angeline let out a sneer. “It better be like what you said. Aren't you riding on Patrick's coattails? Don't mess with our Zay anymore.”

With that, Angeline huffily ended the call. When Gwendolyn heard that Angeline had hung up the phone, she heaved a sigh of relief.

She knew that Candace would not ignore that Zayden went to the Ashton residence. Just as she expected, Candace had complained to Angeline.

Gwendolyn kept her phone and took a look at Zayden, who was playing games with her three children.

He had a good relationship with Julian, Justin, and Juliette. Fortunately for Gwendolyn, Zayden had been helping her out all these years.

Even though his mother had called and scolded her, she was not mad because that was Zayden's mother.

“Who called?” Zayden shifted his gaze toward her.

He had overheard some parts of her conversation and felt that it was possibly his mother.

Gwendolyn shook her head. “They called the wrong number.”

“Gwen, just ignore my mother. My sincerity is the most important thing here.” Zayden did not buy her words.

Gwendolyn chuckled after hearing what he said. “Zayden, a marriage without the family members' blessings won't last either.”

As soon as they spoke about this, the two stopped talking.

Zayden gazed at Gwendolyn profoundly and said, “Gwen, leave these matters to me. You have to consider me. Don't just give up on me.”

All of a sudden, he became miserable. So much so that Gwendolyn felt sorry for him.

She did not answer him with harsh words, but instead, she leaned on the car seat and looked at the street scene outside the window.

The following morning, Gwendolyn woke up. Her three children were already in the dining room.

When they saw her enter the dining room, Juliette flashed a smile at her mother. “Gwen, don't forget that we're going to view the house today after you're done with work.”

They had decided to choose one of the mansions that they liked and move in while renting out the other two mansions.

This way, she could collect rentals every month, and together with her salary, their lives would be relatively easier.

Gwendolyn sat down, picked up a glass of milk, and took a sip. “Sure. I'll come back earlier.”

Juliette took the three title deeds and opened them one by one as she looked through them. “Does that mean I can have my own princess room next time?”

Justin replied, “When the time comes, you can choose the room you like first, Juliette. We'll decorate it into a princess room for you.”

Seeing her children's excitement, Gwendolyn could not help but curl her lips into a smile. Grandpa is too generous.
