Perfect CEO

Chapter 23

Both Justin and Julian were staring at her lips with furrowed brows.

“Mommy, perhaps you should go see a doctor,” her sons said.

Camille walked into the bedroom with medicine. She overheard the children saying that Gwendolyn's lips were swollen. Camille could not help but burst into laughter.

Having been young before, Camille could tell at first glance as to what had happened to Gwendolyn's lips.

“There's no need to go to the hospital. My lips will be fine after two days,” assured Gwendolyn. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Seemingly in a daze, Gwendolyn touched her lips as she felt a sense of numbness and tingling pain. An inappropriate image flashed through her mind. Initially, she had thought that it was a dream. Did it really happen?

She cursed inwardly as realization dawned upon her. Patrick Lowen, you, r*scal!

Gwendolyn did not tell any of them what had happened on that day, especially her sons.

After all, both the boys were fearless. If they knew what Patrick had done, they would demand an explanation from him. The boys were no match for a powerful man like Patrick.

Regardless of what had happened, she had checked with Zayden. It was possible that Patrick could lose tens of millions in a morning for missing his meetings.

Gwendolyn could only take that incident as receiving a big favor from Patrick. They would have nothing to do with each other once she paid off her debt.

At the same time, Juliette was anxious to know if Patrick had dropped by. She shook Gwendolyn and asked, “Gwen, was a handsome man here today?”

Patrick was by far the most attractive man Juliette had seen. Of course, her brothers were good-looking too. Juliette thought complimenting Patrick was just the same as praising her brothers since they looked alike.

Gwendolyn thought that Camille had seen Patrick and told the children.

After all, Camille was really close with the children, and she would talk about every single thing with them.

“Yes. A handsome man came and took care of me. Are you happy now?” Gwendolyn said reluctantly.

Upon hearing that, Juliette jumped in joy. “That's great! We're going to have a daddy!”

As soon as she spoke, Juliette realized that she had said something wrong. She swiftly covered her mouth with her tiny hands, and her eyes kept looking around.

Her brothers had told her that she should not mention the word “Daddy” in front of Gwendolyn. Juliette was so thrilled that she had forgotten about it. Gwen is not unhappy about it, is she?

Julian and Justin frowned when they heard what Juliette said. They were also worried that Gwendolyn

would be upset.

Gwendolyn looked at how her three children reacted. She knew that they were thoughtful and considerate.

Then, Gwendolyn raised her hand and ruffled her hair. “Don't worry. It's okay for you to talk about Daddy. Everyone has their daddy and mommy. Even though I can't tell you who your daddy is now, I can assure all of you that he loves you.”

The three children nodded after listening to her explanation.

They had the same feeling that their father loved them, and they hoped that they could finally meet him one day.

Three days later, Gwendolyn had completely recovered from her sickness.

She sent her children to school in the morning before going home to check her emails on her phone and laptop. She wanted to see if there were any replies from the companies after she had sent her resume.

Her highest education level was high school. Thus, many vacancies available were in the service industry, and they offered relatively low salaries.

Camille had just returned from grocery shopping. She called out to Gwendolyn as she entered the house, “Gwen, someone is looking for you.”

Hearing that, Gwendolyn stood up and walked toward the entrance of her house.

“Ms. Gwendolyn, is that you?” Harry stood at the entrance with an excited look on his face.

Gwendolyn was surprised, too. She had been living alone in Avenport for the past six years. Besides, she had not met anyone from the Ashton family all these years.

After all, Gwendolyn was living her life as an ordinary person. Since the Ashton family was considered one of the wealthy families in Avenport, it was common that she had never met any of them.

She would not have met Felicia if she had not gone to the restaurant to return Patrick's jacket. And now, Harry was here at her doorstep.

Camille smiled and asked, “Gwen, he's looking for you, right?”

Did he just call her Ms. Gwendolyn? Which wealthy family is she from?

“Yes, Ms. Ziegler. He's looking for me. You may go in now.” Gwendolyn nodded.

Camille wanted to find out more, but she could only go inside the house since Gwendolyn had instructed her.

“Harry, why are you here?” Gwendolyn asked while standing at the door, showing no intention to invite Harry into the house.

Harry calmed down after a while and said, “Ms. Gwendolyn, Old Mr. Ashton sent me to pick you up. We have guests over today at home, and he wants you to be there with him.”

Hearing Michael's name made Gwendolyn tear a little. She missed her grandfather.

In the Ashton family, Michael cared for her the most. However, Michael, who was conservative, could not accept her inexplicable pregnancy. Thus, she was ashamed to see him.

Harry then added, “Ms. Gwendolyn, Old Mr. Ashton just wished to see you. He didn't mean anything else. Please come with me to meet him.”
