Chapter 392
Felicia spoke so loudly that everyone at the scene heard her. The housekeepers turned their gaze in their direction as though they had just discovered a huge secret.
In reality, she was aware that everyone in the Ashton family knew the three children were Zayden's.
However, she and her mother were the only ones who knew that Gwendolyn conceived them with an old man.
Yet, they could not expose her because Candace planned the whole thing back then.
If Michael were to find out about it and start digging into the matter, Felicia and her mother would get into deep water.
Besides, Hector chose her only because she was the eldest daughter of the Ashton family. That was why she could not let the Lowens know that Gwendolyn was also an Ashton.
Upon hearing Felicia's words, Juliette turned to her.
“What are you saying? You meanie.”
Similarly, Hector was livid at Felicia's words. The three children are clearly the descendants of the Lowen family and Pat's flesh and blood. How dare she slander them!
Beside himself with fury, he wanted to say something to retort.
However, the more anxious he was, the more difficult it was for him to speak. In the end, he only managed to utter incoherent sounds from his mouth.
His behavior frightened the housekeeper and the nurse beside him. They all rushed over to soothe him. “Old Mr. Lowen, Old Mr. Lowen, please calm down.”
Still, he stared intently at Felicia with a steely gaze that could send a shiver down anyone's spine. Even Felicia was taken aback by his gaze. She had no idea why Hector would always look at her with such a terrifying look in his eyes.
It was as though he hated her, which was puzzling since she thought he liked her a lot.
At the same time, Alice also panicked, urging, “Get the medicine. Hurry up.”
Seeing that scene, Juliette walked over to Hector and placed her small, chubby hand on his big hand.
“Old Mr. Handsome, don't be mad. I'll give you candy.”
As soon as she said that, she peeled off the wrapper and put the candy in his mouth.
Immediately, Hector, who was overwrought, simmered down, and his gaze landed on the adorable little girl in front of him.
He was so envious of his wife just a moment ago for being able to be so close to Juliette.
A swell of bliss swept over him when he realized she had just fed him candy. It was as though the sweetness of the candy seeped into his heart.
Then, Juliette giggled and said, “Eating candy when you're upset will make you happy again.”
Her earnest expression when she said those words was so adorable. As she blinked her big, round eyes, her long eyelashes fluttered accordingly.
Caressing Hector's hand with her little one, she cooed, “Don't be mad. Be nice, okay?”
Meanwhile, the family doctor, who had rushed over, was stunned to see Hector regaining his composure. In his opinion, even medication would not calm the latter down so soon.
Thus, he turned to Juliette and said, “Kid, would you come here more often to keep him company?”
The doctor reckoned that Juliette was so much more effective than medicine when he saw how Hector was quietly looking at the little girl in front of him with a smile on his face.
Thus, he felt that having Juliette around would be great for Hector's recovery.
At that moment, Alice also went over to Hector and said, “Hector, isn't Juliette cute and beautiful?”
Her husband nodded at her words. Even though he could not speak, his expression said it all.
Gwendolyn was also surprised by how much Hector liked Juliette. With that, she decided to bring her daughter over more often to keep him company.
Juliette was in the middle of unwrapping another candy when she heard the doctor's question.
Lifting her head, she looked up with sparkling, doe-like eyes and answered, “Sure! I like it here too. I like Old Mrs. Pretty and Old Mr. Handsome.”
Gwendolyn laughed in amusement. Juliette had always been a sweet talker, so everyone adored her.
No one could resist such sweet words.
Hector and Alice chuckled as well.
The elderly man even complimented Juliette in his mind. Just look at her. Our family sure has good genes. She's such a bright and eloquent girl. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Oblivious to the three children's descent, Alice thought of how good it would be if the triplets were part of the Lowen family. After all, they were absolutely adorable.
In fact, she even felt like stealing all of them for herself.
Neglected on the side, Felicia was shocked. She could not help but be impressed by Gwendolyn's daughter's eloquence.
She's such a sweet talker with that little mouth of hers.
Then, Felicia swiveled her eyes around and came up with a good idea.
