Chapter 245


    “You''re right! She doesn''t look like a mother at all.”


    “Indeed, she''s so young and beautiful. Unbelievable.”


    Gwendolyn balled her fists as she listened to the remarks about her.


    She bit her lip gently. Her three children were God''s greatest gifts to her, so she would not allow


    Candace to defame her.

    Soon, she rxed and did not mind the jeers from other people.


    Gwendolyn raised an eyebrow. “Mrs. Ashton, Patrick likes me because I have three children. He found


    the children cute, and he noticed their mother was cute, too. So what if I''ve had kids? As long as


    Patrick loves me, there''s absolutely nothing you can do about it. He will still love me, regardless of what


    happens.”


    All of a sudden, everybody around her was stunned, speechless. Although she isn''t a good woman,


    how can we judge if Mr. Lowen loves her? If she bes his wife, we''re in no position to disrespect


    her.


    If Gwendolyn could show up at the socialite gathering, it meant she had already been epted by the


    Lowen family.


    On the contrary, nobody else had ever seen the other woman, who kept using Gwendolyn of


    stealing her fiancé, at the socialite gathering.


    Therefore, she was not epted by the Lowen family.


    Alice smiled. “Beautifully put. Our family values character. You''re kind and capable, and you managed


    to raise three children on your own. Pat has great taste. We look forward to weing you and your


    three children to the family.”


    As soon as she finished speaking, the hall erupted in apuse.


    Gwendolyn felt fantastic when she saw Candace''s sour expression. She was only there to apany


    Alice, and she was not dating Patrick. Still, it was a good idea to tell Candace off and pretend to be


    Patrick''s girlfriend.


    Alice asked, “Who brought this Mrs. Ashton here? Has she paid the membership fee?”


    Diana mustered up her courage to raise her hand. “I brought her here. She''s my cousin and has been


    begging me to bring her here to experience events like this. I''ve paid the membership fee.”


    As such, everybody knew that Candace had no right to show up at this event.


    Next, the attendees returned to their seats to enjoy some coffee and pastries.


    Gwendolyn sat down next to Alice. A barista was busy brewing coffee for the attendees.


    Alice pointed at a dish of pastries. “This one is rather good. Help yourself, Gwen.”


    Gwendolyn picked up a pastry and took a bite. It tasted of roses, and it was very refreshing. Moreover,


    it had just the right amount of sweetness.


    A number of socialites approached Gwendolyn to exchange business cards with her. She did not have


    her own business card, so she exchanged phone numbers with them instead.


    Gwendolyn believed that getting to know these socialites would be beneficial to her in the future.


    Once she hadpleted her fashion design course, she could open her own studio, and these people


    could be her customers.


    As she thought of that, Gwendolyn beamed with joy. She had gained a lot by attending the socialite


    gathering with Alice.


    Gwendolyn had consumed many cups of coffee and an assortment of pastries. She found this sort of


    gathering to be somewhat unique.


    The socialites told her the flower petals were great for their skin.


    Gwendolyn informed Alice, “Old Mrs. Lowen, I''m going to the restroom. Excuse me.”


    Alice nodded and replied, “Turn right after you exit the greenhouse, and you''ll see the restroom.”


    Gwendolyn nodded in response. “Okay!”


    She got up and headed outside. When she passed by the forget-me-nots, Angeline was there and


    picking some flowers. She passed the flowers in her hands to her housekeeper when she saw


    Gwendolyn.


    “Congrattions, Gwendolyn! You''ve finally cozied up to Patrick, and he''s even more outstanding than


    Zay!” she said.


    Most mothers believed that their own sons were the best. In fact, Angeline did not look down on her


    son when she made that remark.


    On the contrary, she merely hoped that Gwendolyn would cozy up to anyone but her son.


    Gwendolyn had always harbored a sense of gratitude toward the Surrington family, for Zayden had


    helped her and her children a lot.


    Thus, she was also grateful toward Zayden''s family.
