Chapter 625 Ruin Her Reputation
It was supposed to be one of the wedding gifts, but since she was not marrying him anymore, it ended up becoming a dowry for her.
John accepted it, his face looking gloomy. Why does he have to give her the gift since she's marrying someone else?
Not long after, Patrick collapsed to the ground, blood flowing from his mouth and nose. Even his eyes were oozing blood.
Terrified, John exclaimed, “Mr. Lowen!”
Meanwhile, Lucy continued to console Gwendolyn, but she had run out of words. If I were in her shoes, I wouldn't know how I would react either.
After Gwendolyn had sobbed for nearly half an hour, Lucy had no choice but to intervene and stop her from crying. “Stop crying, Gwen. You're the bride today. Do you want to meet the guests with swollen eyes? What will Zayden think?”
Gwendolyn still could not stop crying. She finally understood why Juliette was a crybaby who would go on crying for an extended period. It seemed to run in the family.
She tried to hold back, but the overwhelming sadness made it impossible for her to stop shedding tears.
When Patrick was leaving, she felt particularly upset and wished to hold him back, stopping him fromBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
walking away.
She knew this time he would leave for good and never come back.
I finally pushed him away.
Lucy frowned while wiping off Gwendolyn's tears. “Your makeup is all messed up. I'll call the makeup artist over for touch-ups. You better stop crying.”
Today, the makeup artist and wardrobe stylist would be with them throughout the ceremony, so Lucy went to find the former immediately.
As Gwendolyn wiped her tears with a tissue, she gazed out of the window at the sunny sky.
Seeing the sky displaying beautiful, sheer white clouds drifting like veils, she took a deep breath. Gwendolyn Ashton, now that you've made your decision, what's the point of being upset about your fate?
At that moment, the makeup artist entered the room. Lucy glanced at Gwendolyn and realized she had stopped crying.
Seeing how Gwendolyn was lost in thought and staring out of the window made Lucy sympathize with her.
Moreover, the fact that Gwendolyn's three children were spending time with Melanie in her house also weighed heavily on her mind. The triplets could not make an appearance at the wedding, as
Gwendolyn could not risk the two elderly members of the Ashton family discovering their existence.
Lucy could sense that this marriage would not lead to happiness.
Gwendolyn cared deeply for the three children and was willing to do anything for their sake.
However, this time, she seemed to let others manipulate her as they wished. This also clearly indicated that the marriage did not hold much significance to her. Sigh. Why did all this happen in the first place?
The makeup artist, who had just touched up Gwendolyn's makeup, reminded her, “Ms. Ashton, you need to stop crying, or else your eyes will swell even more. You won't look nice if that happens.”
Gwendolyn nodded and hummed in response.
After the makeup artist left, Lucy poured Gwendolyn a glass of water. “Here. Drink some water.”
Gwendolyn took a sip and asked, “Does Lucas know how to look after children?”
Despite having her two sons there, Gwendolyn could not help but feel slightly uneasy. She would only feel more relieved if she knew Lucas was capable of taking care of the children.
Lucy thought about it before replying, “He's quite good with kids. Being a military man, he knows how to handle them. Maybe when you see the three little ones tomorrow, they might start acting like soldiers!”
Melanie was still in the recovery phase and needed some exercise anyway.
Lucas was the one helping her with all the exercises, and he appeared to be quite fond of the little girl, showering her with affection.
Gwendolyn nodded in acknowledgment, feeling somewhat relieved.
Meanwhile, downstairs in the living room, Felicia handed the coffee and pastries brought by the driver to Zachary. “Dad, here's your coffee.”
Zachary took a sip and cleared his throat. “What's the situation between you and Patrick?”
It seemed Patrick came prepared when he was there earlier. The entire family had been worried that he had come to snatch the bride away.
The Ashtons were all initially on edge, not knowing what to do, but after seeing how he stormed downstairs and left with the security guards, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
Felicia pressed her lips together and said, “As long as Gwen stays out of our way, there won't be any issues in our relationship.”
