Chapter 21
Michael sat on a mahogany chair and took a sip of his coffee.
He was wearing a suit that brought out his domineering aura.
“I remember that Patrick is an outstanding young man,” he said. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Felicia was delighted when she heard his words. Her cheeks flushed as she was shy.
Whenever Michael looked at her, he would feel sad as he was reminded of Gwendolyn.
He heaved a long sigh. If only Gwen is here.
However, Felicia felt worried seeing Michael's happy look. After all, her marriage with Patrick was merely for show.
Nevertheless, she believed that Patrick would definitely fall in love with her after she put in some effort to win his heart. The more she thought about it, the more blissful she felt.
Candace knew that Michael would like Patrick. Who in Avenport will despise such an outstanding grandson-in-law? It's a good thing that Fel managed to win his heart. Now, she is a worthy granddaughter in Michael's eyes!
“Dad, Fel met Gwen the other day. She is back in Avenport,” she said.
Upon hearing that, Michael widened his eyes in surprise. “Is that true, Fel? Where is she?”
His bond with Gwendolyn was pretty strong, as he was the one who raised her up and showered her with love.
There wasn't a day for him to stop worrying about her throughout these six years.
Felicia shook her head and replied, “Grandpa, I only met her in a restaurant. She was bringing her daughter with her. I heard from her daughter that she has triplets—two sons and a daughter. They are currently five years old. She's pretty impressive to have given birth to triplets.”
With that, she exchanged glances with Candace as she noticed Michael's darkened face.
Compared to his previous delighted look when he heard that Gwendolyn was back in Avenport, his expression was now full of grief.
After all, Gwendolyn was the eldest daughter of the Ashton family. If others were to know that she had given birth to three illegitimate children, he was bound to be embarrassed.
Michael waved his hand. “You shall leave for the meantime.”
Hence, Felicia and Candace left the study obediently. Felicia burst into laughter the moment she stepped out of the room.
“Haha! What a clever plan it is, Mom! Look at his expression. I just can't get enough of that!” she remarked.
Candace merely smiled. She was pretty confident with her plan. “Fel, you have only one thing to do now—never let go of Patrick. I won't allow anything to go wrong in your marriage. As for that little b*tch, Gwendolyn, we will know her whereabouts with Michael's help. I will deal with her when the time comes.”
Meanwhile, Camille went to fetch the kids in the afternoon. Juliette approached her the moment she came out from school.
“Ms. Ziegler, did Mr. Handsome come to our house to look after Gwen?” she asked.
Camille smiled and replied, “There was a luxurious car parked at our residence's entrance. I supposed that was him!”
Upon hearing that, Julian laughed and said, “Well, if his car was there, he should have visited Mommy.”
He then smiled and caressed Juliette's head. Well, at least it proves that he is a kind-hearted man.
Justin heard their conversation and asked, “What did you do behind my back?”
His expression suggested displeasure. These two little kids did something behind my back, huh?
Upon noticing Justin's angry look, Juliette and Julian quickly held each of his hands.
“Justin, listen to me!” they said in unison.
Julian smiled and waved his hand. “You shall tell him, Juliette.”
Juliette blinked her bright eyes and uttered solemnly, “Mommy and I met a handsome man that looks like both of you! I think he's probably our biological daddy. I asked him to take care of Mommy today as she's sick. Justin, I'm so happy that I found our daddy! We finally have a daddy.”
