She finally asked that question. Zayden nodded. “Yes, she's the eldest daughter of the Ashton family.”
Angeline was taken aback slightly. I was led to believe Gwendolyn was an orphan because I had never met her family members before. It's why I've always thought she was an embarrassment. Now, it seems like she has quite an extraordinary identity. There's no doubt her upbringing as the daughter of the Ashton family is excellent, but...
As images of Gwendolyn popped up in her mind, she shook her head. “Then—”
Zayden promptly interrupted, “Mom, the children Gwen gave birth to six years ago belong to me. That's why I've been taking care of them. You can check the DNA test report in my study drawer if you don't believe me.”
That dumbfounded her. “What? You're saying all three of those kids are yours?”
“Yes, they're mine. Why do you think I've been taking care of them?”
Something clicked in her mind as she grinned. “Why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you wait until the children are already this grown?” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Of course, Zayden regretted his decision to conceal the truth. If I had told my family about this in the past, maybe Gwen and I would've been together already. In that scenario, Patrick wouldn't have been a concern at all. I've no choice but to pull this trick now because Gwen has fallen for him. It's a little late, but as long as I can have her, it'll be worth it. ”Because I was waiting for her to love me instead of simply wanting me to take responsibility.”
Angeline nodded. “Mhm, I understand now. Since those children are yours, we must take responsibility. I'll talk about this with the rest of the family. Then, we'll pick a good date for the marriage proposal.”
Even though she seemed a little dazed as she headed to the entrance in a hurry, she did appear happy. If Gwendolyn's willing to marry Zay even though he's blind, he's set for the rest of his life. His grandfather will undoubtedly be happy to learn that the three children belong to the Surrington family. While he may be blind, and the company's under his uncle's control right now, once everyone learns he has a son, the Surrington family will still be ours in the end!
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. It's great to have three grandchildren right now!
Abruptly, she stopped and turned to Michael. “I-I'll be going back now, Old Mr. Ashton.”
Michael could tell she was delighted and nodded in response with a grin. This engagement will be a good thing for Gwendolyn. “Go ahead!”
Zayden's worries were put to rest as he heard his mother's footsteps getting further and further away. Thank goodness I prepared a fake test report in advance for something like this. It doesn't matter who the children belong to because I genuinely like them and will treat them as my own!
Then he answered a few of Michael's questions about his condition.
Michael thought Zayden was flawless. It's only natural that the child of the Surrington family is outstanding. Even though he's blind, he still acts like a gentleman instead of giving up on himself. There's no doubt he'll still achieve great things despite his loss of eyesight.
Once it was seven-ish in the evening, Michael was ready to leave.
Meanwhile, Gwendolyn was sleeping in Patrick's embrace as their vehicle entered the city.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
When he picked the device up, he saw the word “Grandpa” on the screen.
He knitted his eyebrows. While he wanted to let her answer the call, he didn't want to disturb her sleep.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he decided to answer the call, thinking it would be okay since he would meet with her family sooner or later.
“Gwen, this is Grandpa. I'm in Zayden's ward right now. The Surrington family has decided to propose a marriage between you and Zayden. Since you're his fiancée now, you should come to the hospital to take care of him.”
