    Chapter 598 Daydream


    Francine and the others had never seen such lucrative betrothal gifts, so they immediately felt


    Gwendolyn was truly blessed.


    Subsequently, low murmurs filled the air as the crowd discussed in undertones.


    Candace uttered coldly, “They brought over so many betrothal gifts to pressure us into providing more


    dowry. Don''t assume this is a good thing.”


    The others'' facial expressions changed slightly after they heard Candace''s remark. She''s right. Old Mr.


    Ashton is so fond of Gwen. Who knows how much dowry he''ll give her?


    Gwendolyn was unfazed. Zachary and his brothers received the guests and invited them into the house


    while she walked up to Zayden and held his arm, supporting him up the stairs.


    Suzanne also jogged over. “Mr. Surrington, you look so handsome today!”


    Zayden was wearing a sky-blue suit that day paired with a white shirt. His tie was also sky-blue in color.


    He appeared well-groomed and handsome.


    Zayden said, “Did you take good care of Ms. Ashton?”


    Suzanne felt a little guilty. I''ve been sleeping in Gwen''s room since the morning, and she also had to


    come call me for lunch just now.


    At that thought, Suzanne averted her gaze.


    “Ha! Of course. I even slept outside Gwen''s doorst night.”


    Zayden curled his lips into a faint smile after hearing that. It seems like it was impossible for Gwendolyn


    and Patrick to spend time togetherst night.


    He lifted his hand to pinch Suzanne''s petite face, causing her to wince in pain. “At least you''ve done


    your duty.”

    Seeing Zayden smile, Suzanne finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Gwendolyn didn''t notice Zayden''s countenance or actions. At that moment, she was staring nkly


    ahead, imagining how the scene would be if the personing to propose marriage that day was


    Patrick instead. Perhaps I''ll be overjoyed and can truly immerse myself in the joyous mood of this


    asion.


    At that moment, she felt like she was trapped in an icy cave as she was cold all over.


    The elders were sitting together, talking about the marriage in a formal manner.


    Gwendolyn didn''t participate. Instead, she brought Zayden to the smaller living room for coffee.


    Suzanne brewed coffee on the side. She was unskilled, constantly knocking over the cups or other


    items.


    Overwrought, she apologized repeatedly.


    Taking in her demeanor, Gwendolyn couldn''t help butugh. How did she get into the Surrington


    family? I heard all housekeepers must be certified in various aspects before working for them. How did


    she secure her position? Perhaps she did it through the back door, the same way I entered Lowen


    Group previously.


    A few of Gwendolyn''s cousins entered one after the other, all there to see Zayden.


    “Gwen, Zayden is so handsome!” Nicolette and Rachelle chirped, their eyes riveted on Zayden.


    They figured it was fortunate for them that Zayden couldn''t see. Otherwise, he probably wouldn''t have


    been pleased to be watched like a monkey in the zoo.


    When Felicia walked in and saw all her younger cousins there, she said, “What do you think you''re


    doing? Watching a show at the zoo? Get out.”


    Felicia had always been arrogant in the Ashton family. Now that she had a rtionship with Patrick,


    she behaved more haughtily than ever.


    The others feared her, so they hastily ran away after hearing Felicia''s order.


    Gwendolyn ignored Felicia. She picked up a cup of coffee and ced it in Zayden''s hand. “Have some


    coffee, Zayden.”


    Sitting across from Gwendolyn, Felicia crossed her legs and folded her arms while staring impassively


    at Zayden.


    Then, she chuckled. “Zayden, you''re going to marry my sister the day after tomorrow. How do you feel


    now? Are you excited?”


    At the thought of Gwendolyn marrying Zayden and how she would no longerpete with her for


    Patrick''s affection, Felicia was thrilled. When I be Mrs. Lowen, I''ll be the most envied woman in


    Avenport. As for Gwendolyn, a woman who marries a blind man, she will be even more


    insignificant to me. Although, the elders discussing the wedding details seem to be nning to provide


    a considerable amount of dowry.


    Felicia took a deep breath. When I get married, my dowry must be double that of Gwendolyn''s.
