Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 496

Candace, who was about to take off, was dragged by Zachary to where Hector was.

“Hello, Mr. Lowen. We're Fel's parents.”

This was their first time formally introducing themselves to Hector. Previously when they met, Hector was in a wheelchair and couldn't speak. He was also wearing a mask at that time.

This time, Hector looked healthy and energetic. He didn't even need to wear a mask anymore.

Candace's eyes went wide with fear. She knew she couldn't escape now. Oh no! What now? Will he ask about the children's whereabouts? Maybe I should say that Fel was the girl from back then.

Hector nodded slightly and said, “Fel is such an outstanding child. You parents must have done well.”

On the heels of that, Michael and Hector looked at each other briefly before smiling and giving each other a friendly hug.

“Michael, I promised you a marriage, and now here we are. I didn't break my promise, right?”

Hearing that, Michael smiled. “Yeah!”

Michael actually wanted Gwendolyn to be the one marrying into the Lowen family, but since “that” happened in the past, he couldn't embarrass himself by asking the Lowen family to accept Gwendolyn into their family.

To Michael, everything was settled since Zayden came forward and admitted what he had done. Michael thought that Gwendolyn's innocence was now proven, and she could finally live a dignified life.

Both Michael and Hector waved their hands. “Patrick, Fel, come closer.”

“Gwen, Zayden. Both of you as well.”

At that moment, Gwendolyn, Zayden, Patrick, and Felicia came forward.

Felicia put her arm around Patrick's, linking their arms together as she smiled and looked at Gwendolyn.

“Gwen, Grandpa finally acknowledges you and even publicized your identity! I'm truly happy for you, and your husband is good-looking as well!”

She sounded happy for Gwendolyn, as if she was trying to make everyone present feel that both she and Gwendolyn had a good sisterly relationship.

Gwendolyn was now looking at Patrick with anxiousness in her eyes. She didn't know what to do.

Seeing how Felicia was holding onto his arm, Gwendolyn only felt hurt, and her heart ached.

She almost had the urge to forcefully separate them, but she noticed that Patrick had a cold expression as well.

What is he looking at? Patrick was looking at Gwendolyn's arm that was linked with Zayden's. However, she needed to hold Zayden so that she could support him since he was blind.

Patrick was now feeling what Gwendolyn was feeling. They were both unhappy.

Both of them were the ones that were in love with each other, but they now stood opposite each other as they linked their arms with someone else, each having someone of their own.

That feeling wasn't a pleasant one, and Patrick was unhappy with what he saw. His gaze was like a black hole as he stared at Gwendolyn with a darkened expression.

Zayden smiled when he heard what Felicia just said and replied, “Thank you, my sister-in-law.”

Both Felicia and Zayden's remarks made everyone feel like they were all family, and Hector smiled.

“I have a suggestion. Since they're both sisters, let's hold their engagement party at the same time, and all four of them can get married on the same day! How's that?”

Everyone present clapped their hands and agreed when they heard that.

“That's a great idea!”

“This is just double happiness for the Ashton family!”

Zayden saw how Patrick was looking at Gwendolyn, and it was obvious that Patrick was now mad.

As for Zayden, he was thrilled. He then added fuel to the fire by reaching out to put his arm around Gwendolyn's shoulder before turning his head toward her.

“Gwen, I'm a little hungry.”

Gwendolyn had tears in her eyes as she looked at Patrick. Both of them were looking at each other, but one with sadness and the other with a cold expression.

Their gaze toward each other lasted until Zachary called out to Gwendolyn. He was worried that Patrick might stride over and bring Gwendolyn away if he let them be.

Hence, he stopped that from potentially happening by leading Gwendolyn away.

Hearing that, she hummed and supported Zayden to the dining area. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Felicia had a smug expression after that. Soon, many of the guests came forward and clinked glasses with her as they all drank.

“Congratulations, Ms. Ashton!”

This was Felicia's first time being surrounded by this many people, and everyone was respectful toward her, which boosted her ego.

The smile on her face became more and more charming, and she couldn't help but lean her face and body closer to Patrick as she replied, “Thank you!”
