Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 227

His attitude toward Patrick was as cold as always. It was clear that he was trying to chase the man away.

Patrick swept a glance at him. Admittedly, Justin's indifferent gaze was very handsome.

Patrick narrowed his eyes. “No problem. I like your mommy. Hence, I do not intend to leave. I will make sure to see her matter to the end,” he replied straightforwardly.

Then, he strode over to the bedside.

Justin watched as Patrick's tall figure went over to his mother. Then, the man laid his hands on Gwendolyn's shoulder as an act of comfort.

Gwendolyn leaned her head on him. Looking at them now, they did look like a parental couple.

Justin pursed his lips together slightly. For every day that their mother didn't give her approval, they would be sure to watch over her. They would never let her suffer.

The next day, at the Lowen residence.

Alice was sitting in the dining room having her breakfast. The sunlight shone in through the long windows and cascaded over her.

She elegantly took a sip of her coffee before turning to look at the door.

“Is Old Mr. Lowen still asleep?”

A housekeeper walked in and answered, “Old Mrs. Lowen, Old Mr. Lowen is still fast asleep.”

Ever since Hector woke up from his coma, he hadn't been able to get a good sleep. He often woke up in the middle of the night and would have trouble falling back asleep after.

Since he could sleep until nine o'clock in the morning that day, it seemed like things were getting better.

Alice thought back to the night before. Many of their family relatives were asking about what happened.

To be honest, Alice wasn't sure either. The engagement banquet was just about to begin; how could Pat just cancel it like that? Regardless, she always supported his decisions no matter what.

At this moment, a housekeeper came in and reported, “Old Mrs. Lowen, the Ashton family are here.”

Alice set down her cup. She knew that the Ashton family would come to stir up trouble. She had no choice but to deal with them.

Although she didn't understand why her grandson would cancel the engagement, she understood his heart.

That day, Alice was dressed in a pale blue dress. She looked elegant and classy.

The housekeeper accompanied her out of the dining room and into the living room.

All three members of the Ashton family were sitting down in the living room, Felicia and her parents.

Felicia tugged at Candace's hand. “Mom, let's go home! I can settle this on my own.”

She had been completely humiliated the night before. All her relatives had questioned her about what was going on. Seeing the weird gaze in her eyes, they all guessed that she had been abandoned.

Despite that, she didn't want her parents to come to stir up trouble at the Lowen residence. After all, the engagement between her and Patrick was nothing more than an agreement. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Patrick didn't want anyone to know about this matter, and neither did she.

Candace gripped her hand tightly. “Sweetheart, don't be afraid. What the Lowen family did isn't right. How can you just accept it like that? We must help you seek justice.”

Felicia pursed her lips. She glanced over at her father, who was nearby. His expression looked even worse.

In the Ashton family, they cared about their father the most. Since she was young, she knew that as long as her father was happy, she and her mother could continue to live blissfully in the Ashton residence.

That meant that she could bully Gwendolyn as she pleased. Even if she decided to chase Gwendolyn out, their father would not care.

This time, Zachary had been very pleased with her. He was proud that she was going to be married off to a good family.

However, now, reality had hit him like a hard slap in the face. There was no way he could feel happy.

Alice went over with a smile on her face.

“Sorry for keeping you three waiting.”

She sat down at the head of the couch.

“Pour the guests some coffee,” she ordered.

The housekeepers immediately went to work. They had assumed that the Ashton family was here to create a scene. Hence, they hadn't bothered to serve any refreshments.

Zachary looked over to Alice and said in a cold tone, “Old Mrs. Lowen, we're here to talk about what happened yesterday. What was Patrick thinking? He was the one who wanted to get engaged. Then,

he suddenly canceled it. Does he think our daughter is a pushover?”

His voice was cold and firm. There was also a very clear tone of anger in his words.
