Chapter 263


    Dianaughed and said, “Let me ask my sister-inw. I didn''t know about this!”


    Candace understood clearly what Diana meant. It looks like Ana is just waiting to watch a good show.


    She refused to believe that the Surrington family would still want Gwendolyn as their daughter-inw if


    they knew her truth.


    After ending the call, Candace went back to the living room.


    Gwendolyn was sitting next to Michael, who still loved the former as much as before.


    Now that her three children were around, it seemed like he had no grudge against her anymore.


    Zayden was beside them too. He had gifted Michael a box of the ceramic coffee set, and thetter


    regarded it as treasure.


    He took it and kept looking at the coffee set while Zayden sat beside him to talk about it.


    Seeing that the rest of the Ashton family were left aside, Candance could not help but find it funny.


    Sure enough, as long as Gwendolynes home, the rest of the Ashton family would fall out of his


    favor.


    “Dad, dinner is ready. Everyone can eat now.”


    Everyone walked into the dining hall. The dining hall in the Ashton residence was huge.


    Gwendolyn, Zayden, and the three children ate at the main table with Michael.


    Besides them, the three men from the Ashton family were also seated at the main table. On the other


    hand, the other female family members were at another small table, far away from Michael.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Michael was fond of Zayden. Thetter was a young and promising man in Avenport. Thus, the older


    generation had taken note of him.


    Michael and Zayden had a few drinks too. After dinner, the three children yed with Michael for a


    while before leaving.


    Zayden walked beside Gwendolyn. His smile was warm and radiant, like the sun. It showed that he


    was in a good mood that night.


    The Ashton family did not send Gwendolyn and the rest out, but Zayden had already arranged for an


    MPV to pick them up.


    The three children got into the MPV while Gwendolyn and Zayden conversed beside the car.


    “Thank you so much for today, Zayden!” she said gratefully.


    If it were not for his presence, her children would still be considered illegitimate in the eyes of Michael


    and the rest of the Ashton family.


    The Ashton family''s rtives would even call them b*stards.


    Since Zayden was with them, the Ashton family kept their mouths shut, and Michael even approved of


    them.


    Gwendolyn was grateful to Zayden since everything went fine.


    He reached out and tucked her messy, long hair behind her ear. “You don''t have to thank me. I should


    havee earlier to visit Grandpa.”


    If Zayden had been more proactive, Gwendolyn would have married him already. At that moment, he


    regretted that he did not go to the Ashton residence to visit Michael sooner.


    Gwendolyn furrowed her brows. It seemed like Zayden did not understand her feelings. “Zayden, you''re


    not the children''s father. I''ll clear your name soon.”


    “It''s cold out here, so get in the car. I''m willing to be their father. You have no doubts about that, right?”


    His gaze darkened when he heard what Gwendolyn said.


    Zayden had watched the children grow up before him. That was equivalent to him being involved in all


    of Gwendolyn''s pregnancy andbor journey.


    Even if he was not their biological father, he was already considered half a father of theirs.


    Of course, Gwendolyn did not doubt his intentions. She bent down and got into the car while Zayden


    followed behind.


    Right at that moment, Michael''s servant, Harry chased after them and called out, “Ms. Gwendolyn, Old


    Mr. Ashton said this is a gift for your three children.”


    Harry passed three paper bags to Gwendolyn from the car window.


    I wonder what''s inside. Regardless, it''s a token of sincerity from Grandpa.


    “Thank Grandpa for me, Harry,” she said as she took over the paper bags.


    Gwendolyn held the paper bags in her arms. Grandpa is happy tonight. He finally put an end to the


    resentment he harbored for years.


    Harry waved at them and added, “Remember toe back often to visit Old Mr. Ashton, Ms.


    Gwendolyn. He''s always thinking about you.”


    “I will, Harry.” Gwendolyn waved back.


    As the car drove away from the Ashton residence''s main gate, she looked at the paper bags and


    wondered what Michael had given her three precious children.


    Out of curiosity, she opened one of the paper bags and took a peek inside.


    Upon seeing the content, Gwendolyn was so shocked that her eyes widened. It was a deed to one of


    the mansions in the Star Mansion area!


    She frantically opened the other two paper bags. They were all mansions! Michael had given each of


    her children a mansion of their own.


    Moreover, all three mansions were connected. Gwendolyn was so shocked that she could not even


    speak.


    All this while, she had wanted to purchase a small house, and now she owned three mansions. This


    was an unbelievable feeling.
