Chapter 690 Protect The Children
After the ordeal last night, Hector woke up at the Lowen residence with a dark expression. When he saw Alice, he snorted coldly and turned his face away, unwilling to look at her.
Alice approached him. “What's wrong?”
Hector glanced around before replying coldly, “Why did you have to make such a fuss about what happened last night? I still need to keep my dignity.”
So what if I'm old? I can still satisfy her! But she didn't want it.
Alice blushed upon being reminded of the incident. She slapped him lightly. “Your body's in such a state. How can you still do it?”
Hector harrumphed again. “See! You're underestimating me.”
With that, he trudged down the stairs with his hands behind his back.
Alice couldn't help but gripe, “That stubborn old man! He's already seventy-three years old yet still refuses to accept his age.”
At that moment, Patrick came down the stairs. Dressed in a sleek black shirt and trousers, he exuded a cool and composed aura.
“Morning, Grandma!” he greeted, casually adjusting his cufflinks.
Alice thought that such a morning was simply too perfect. After all, she could lay her eyes on her handsome grandson. Even though Hector's strange behavior made her mad, Patrick managed to ease her lingering irritation.
Walking together arm in arm, Alice couldn't resist asking, “Patrick, have you truly forgotten about Gwendolyn?”
Patrick's hand froze for a moment when he heard that, but he swiftly fastened the cufflink with a confident snap. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
He looked up and smiled faintly. “Who are you talking about?”
Alice shook her head. “If you've forgotten her, so be it!”
Since Gwendolyn has already married, it doesn't matter even if Pat remembers her. He can't possibly ruin her marriage.
Gwendolyn went to the office and spent her morning in meetings. She was now quite familiar with her work.
When she walked out of the meeting room, Connor followed behind her.
“Ms. Ashton, there's a meeting tonight that requires your presence.”
Gwendolyn knew that another Solstice Mall would be built in Avenport, around the new district. It was in the midst of construction. Although the place was not bustling now, it would become the most lively
location in a few years.
Many shopping malls were vying to establish themselves there, and Solstice Group was no exception.
Gwendolyn nodded. “Okay. Let me know when it's time.”
She then returned to her office, which was predominantly adorned in white tones. It was wide and bright, with her favorite dolls giving the place a touch of warmth.
Gwendolyn placed her laptop and documents on the desk before collapsing on the white couch.
She massaged her legs, which had become slightly swollen after those long hours of sitting.
At that moment, her phone rang. Gwendolyn whipped out her phone and answered the call.
“Hey, Justin.”
Her sons should be preparing for their afternoon nap at that time. It was strange that they were calling her.
“Mommy, Mr. Zayden came and picked Juliette up! He only brought her away.”
Both boys were supposed to accompany their little sister. However, Zayden said that he was only going to bring Juliette away. When some people asked them if Zayden was their uncle, they even nodded affirmatively.
To their surprise, Zayden only took Juliette away.
Gwendolyn jumped up in terror. “What? Where did he bring her to?”
Justin sent Juliette's location to Gwendolyn. “Juliette's probably still in the car now. However, it's driving to the suburbs.”
Fear crashed over Gwendolyn. “All right. Stay at school obediently. I'll find her, so don't worry.”
She was scared to the core when she heard that Zayden had taken Juliette away.
Swiftly grabbing her car keys, she rushed outside. As she stepped into the elevator, she dialed her bodyguard's number.
“Follow me to a place.”
The man replied in a deep voice, “Okay!”
