Chapter 367
Zayden remained silent. It was too awkward for the mother and son to be interacting like this, so Gwendolyn said, “Zayden, it's getting late, and I should get going now. My three kids are still waiting for me at home.”
Zayden did adore her three children, and she knew it would be a concern for him if he knew the kids were left alone at home.
“Sure, go ahead!”
Gwendolyn took another glance at Angeline, who still had a gloomy expression and looked sad.
She hated seeing Zayden and Angeline like this too. Similarly, she believed Julian and Justin would also break her heart if they went against her words like that after becoming adults.
As a mother, she could understand Angeline's feelings very well.
“Mrs. Surrington, I'll take my leave then.”
Before leaving, she whispered to Zayden, “Make sure you talk things out with your mother. Don't leave things hanging just like that.”
Gwendolyn left after taking her bag. Angeline asked Zayden, “What did she tell you? I'm sure she was speaking ill of me.”
Zayden sighed. “Mom, why are you so against Gwen? She's from a noble family too, but her father cheated on her mother with another woman, which was why she ended up living a miserable life.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hmph. I don't want to hear any of that. I don't care who she is because I will never like her for having children without getting married.”
Sure enough, Angeline's attitude was still as harsh as usual. Zayden was not too anxious about changing her mind either.
“Mom, you should go back now. I need to get some rest.”
After saying that, he moved lower and tugged the sheets before closing his eyes.
Angeline wanted to stay around a little longer. She missed seeing her son if she were to stay home, and she felt sorry for his current condition.
Their family had been finding doctors for him, even getting doctors from abroad to look at him, but they were yet to come up with something conclusive.
She was worried about her son and would naturally want to stay by his side.
However, seeing that he wanted to get some sleep, she stood up and said, “All right, then. Zay, get some rest, and I'll drop by again tomorrow.”
Zayden did not respond to that. Angeline stood by his bed and watched him for a while before turning around to walk away.
After arriving back at Star Mansion in her car, Gwendolyn pushed open the door and saw Patrick playing Lego with her two sons.
Justin occasionally looked at Patrick but did not say anything. It seemed to her that her sons had already acknowledged Patrick's high intelligence for them to agree to play with him.
Meanwhile, Juliette was seen leaning against Patrick while blinking innocently at them. She was holding a Barbie doll that was bought earlier that day.
“Come on, guys, faster! Mr. Lowen is almost done!”
Hearing this, Gwendolyn finally understood the entire situation.
Her sons did not agree to play Lego with Patrick. Instead, they were competing against him. No wonder she caught the three of them in such a harmonious scene together.
Noticing her return, Camille walked up to her and said in a low voice, “Gwen, the kids are so happy today. It seems like Mr. Lowen is a great father, after all.”
Gwendolyn changed her shoes and nodded with a smile. “Okay!”
She went to the living room and sat next to Patrick. “What are you guys playing?”
They were entirely focused on the competition at first, but after hearing her voice, they all looked up at her with excitement reflected in their eyes. Each of them only had eyes for her.
Juliette asked, “Gwen, where did you go? They are competing with Mr. Lowen!”
Gwendolyn was startled at that question. Knowing that she could not answer the question honestly, she shifted the topic and asked, “Who will win then?”
Julian and Justin picked up their paces, with one studying the manual and another looking for the spare parts. They had a clear division of work, resulting in their impressive speed.
At the same time, Patrick also fixed his eyes on the manual. After studying the manual, he quickly looked for the spare parts and picked up his pace.
Juliette was carried away by Gwendolyn's attempt to change the topic and said, “Mr. Lowen, you got this!”
She wanted to call Patrick daddy instead, but she dared not do so as she did not want Gwendolyn to reprimand her. Anyway, she figured it was only a matter of time for her to finally call him daddy.
Justin glanced at Patrick before asking, “Did you go to the hospital to see Mr. Zayden?”
Julian also chimed in and asked, “How is he now?”
Gwendolyn's expression changed. She wanted to stop the topic, but it was already too late. Her lies from earlier were exposed just like that.
