    Chapter 595 That One Teardrop


    Gwendolyn secretly hoped that Patrick would be standing on the balcony, allowing her to steal


    a fleeting nce at him from a distance. He should be awake by now. Has he had his breakfast?


    Yet, even after the car sped out of the neighborhood, she failed to see any sign of Patrick.


    Gwendolyn leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, choosing to shut out any further


    thoughts.


    At first, she had thought there was nothing a hearty meal, or even two meals, could not solve.


    Yet, despite stuffing herselfst night, she still felt miserable and unable to forget or move on.


    Her mind was filled with his image, and she just could not let him go.


    Her heart continued to ache intensely, each breath causing her pain.


    As the intensity of her pain grew, a tear escaped from the corner of her eye and slowly trailed


    down her cheek.


    Suzanne reached out and caught the glistening teardrop, her wide eyes blinking as she admired


    its beauty. However, as she brought it closer, she detected a sour scent emanating from the


    tear. It made her feel ufortable.


    It was as if the world had suddenly be dull and devoid of its radiance.


    She sniffled before looking at Gwendolyn beside her. “Gwen, are you upset?”


    Suzanne tucked away the precious tear before resting her head on Gwendolyn''s shoulder.


    “Gwen, if you''re upset, you can tell me. I can help.”


    Although Suzanne was unfamiliar with this world, and everything seemed foreign and


    intimidating to her, she took sce in the fact that she possessed magical powers.


    She also possessed great strength and was capable of overpowering anyone in a physical


    confrontation.


    Gwendolyn gradually opened her eyes before putting on her mask and armor. “I''m not upset.


    I''m just a little tired. I''ll take a nap.”

    Upon hearing that, Suzanne chuckled. “Oh. I''m tired too. Let''s take a nap together then!”


    She cuddled up to Gwendolyn, and both of them closed their eyes. Gwendolyn could not fall


    asleep, but Suzanne had already dozed off. She had a remarkable ability to fall asleep quickly.


    Gwendolyn tilted her head to look at the girl. She must not have slept wellst night.


    Suddenly, she was envious of Suzanne''s simple and carefree nature. Her life is centered around


    the joy of eating. Every day, it''s just about indulging in delicious food. Such a simple and


    blissful existence!


    Upon arriving at the Ashton residence, Gwendolyn was met with a bustling scene.


    The driver opened the door for her. “Ms. Gwendolyn, we''ve arrived.”


    Suzanne was still sound asleep, her head resting on Gwendolyn''s shoulder.


    Gwendolyn gently stroked Suzanne''s head. “Suzanne, we''ve arrived.”


    Suzanne was a little upset at being shaken awake and still had a strong desire to sleep. She let


    out a sigh. “I''m so sleepy!”


    “I''ll take you to my room. You can sleep in there,” Gwendolyn offered. She had alreadye to


    see Suzanne as her own sister rather than just a servant.


    Since they had arrived at the Ashton residence, Gwendolyn understood that Suzanne would


    need some time to adjust to the new environment. Therefore, she thought it would be best to let


    Suzanne rest and get some sleep. After having enough sleep, she can then indulge in a


    delightful meal. To her, that''s what true happiness is all about, isn''t it?


    Suzanne was truly exhausted, having hardly slept a wink the entire night. “All right!”


    As they got out of the car, Suzanne held Gwendolyn''s hand and yawned.


    Upon entering the main building, Gwendolyn and Suzanne found the living room bustling with


    members of the Ashton family. Some were engaged in lively conversations, while others were


    immersed in card games.


    The sound ofughter filled the air as several children ran around, adding to the lively


    atmosphere of the room.


    Upon seeing them, Candace got up and walked toward them. “Wee back, Gwen. Why are


    you wearing ck on your big day today? You should be wearing a bright-color dress instead.”


    Francine and Christina walked over and chimed in, “That''s right. You shouldn''t have worn ck


    today!”


    Candace grinned. “I have a white gown. It''s an antique piece my granny left me. I''ll go upstairs


    and get it for you to try on.”


    With that, she headed upstairs to fetch the gown for Gwendolyn, her hips swaying.


    “No need. It''s not the actual wedding ceremony. There''s no need to dress so festively,”


    Gwendolyn softly remarked. She wants the world to know how eager I am to marry Zayden so


    that she can make a fool out of me in front of all the other Surringtons, huh?


    Upon hearing that, Christina and Francine exchanged knowing nces, recognizing


    Gwendolyn''s growing intelligence.


    “Gwendolyn, you haven''t had breakfast yet, have you? Let''s go and have breakfast.” Christina


    and Francine held her hands and led her to the dining area.


    It was clear that they were trying to please her.
