Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 24

Gwendolyn nodded slightly. “Okay. I'll go in and change. Wait for me here, Harry.”

She did not want to invite Harry in because Camille was around. Gwendolyn did not want her children to know about her relationship with the Ashton family.

Grandpa might get angrier if he sees the kids. So it's better not to let them meet one another for now.

When Gwendolyn stepped inside her house, Camille asked, “Gwen, is that your family member?”

Camille was curious. She had always thought that Gwendolyn had been living alone at such a young age with her three children since she gave birth because the latter did not have any family members to help her.

“No, he's just my friend's family member. He needs my help with something.” Gwendolyn shook her head.

Camille nodded knowingly in response as she put away the groceries.

Gwendolyn went into her room and chose a blue floral dress with a beige coat from her closet. These were the few nice clothes that she owned.

Despite not being the season's latest trend, it was a timeless piece.

Gwendolyn reached into her drawer and took out a jewelry box. There were two pieces of jewelry inside, jade and a ring.

The ring was given to her by the man in her dreams. After all these years, she had never thought of selling it, even after selling all her other jewelry pieces.

Gwendolyn still saw a glimmer of hope. She wished to find her children's biological father, and she firmly believed that he was not an old man.

Then, Gwendolyn placed the jade into a blue gift box. It was a vintage piece that was highly valuable. An old lady had gifted the jade to Gwendolyn as a gift to express her gratitude for the latter's help.

It would soon be Michael's birthday. Since Gwendolyn could not afford an expensive gift, she wanted to give him the jade as a birthday present.

Gwendolyn took her bag, headed out the door, and got into the Ashton family's car.

On her way to the Ashton residence, she fixed her eyes on the view outside the window. Gwendolyn could not be more familiar with the street in front of her eyes. She had often dreamed of it in the past six years of living alone. But in reality, she did not dare to set foot on it.

When they arrived at the Ashton residence, Harry called out, “Ms. Gwendolyn, we're home.”

Gwendolyn only came back to her senses when she heard Harry's voice. She glanced at the Ashton family's manor and got down from the car.

As she entered the house, Michael was sitting in the living room. It seemed like he had been waiting for her. Michael was clad in a dark blue suit, and he looked energetic.

Felicia and Candace were there too. Even her father, Zachary, was present.

Candace rose to her feet as she saw Gwendolyn walk in. She exclaimed, “Gwen is home!”

She was wearing a green embroidered dress, and she sashayed her way toward Gwendolyn.

Gwendolyn did not say a word when she saw Candace. Instead, she made her way to Michael and called out, “Grandpa!”

When Michael saw Gwendolyn, his eyes lit up with happiness. Nodding, he offered, “Take a seat, Gwen. Just make yourself comfortable at your own home.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Gwendolyn sat next to Michael and ignored the family of three.

Zachary was shocked to see her. “Gwen, where have you been all these years? Why didn't you come home?”

Michael took a sidelong glance at Gwendolyn. He felt that she had become prettier, but she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. It must be hard for her to live alone outside.

Gwendolyn replied to Zachary, “Didn't all of you want me out of the house?”

“Who wanted you out of the house? If you hadn't done something disgraceful and ran away, we wouldn't have left you to fend for yourself!” Zachary yelled with anger.

When the mother and daughter, Candace and Felicia, heard what Gwendolyn said, they looked away and dared not meet her eyes.

Only they knew what had happened back then. The others did not know the truth and thought Gwendolyn had run away from home.

Gwendolyn shot Felicia and Candace her cold glare. There was a strong sense of hatred in her dimmed gaze. She would never forget the incident from six years ago.

Not only did the mother-daughter duo ruin her reputation, but they also wanted to take her life. They were ruthless.

“Did I run away myself?” Gwendolyn sneered and continued, “Aunt Candace, Fel, was that really what happened?”
