Chapter 261
If Gwendolyn could get Juliette to behave, she would not catch Michael's attention. Hence, he would not take his anger out on Juliette even if he was enraged.
Juliette nodded. “Gwen, don't worry. I'll be very quiet.”
Her forehead still had a small scar, though the gauze had been removed and replaced with a bandage. She still looked as pretty as a princess when her fringe fell and covered it.
Since they were heading to the Ashton residence, Gwendolyn had the triplets change into branded clothes. Even though it was not the latest wear, they looked good in whatever clothes they wore since they were all born pretty.
They could rock the old style of kids' wear into a new style effortlessly just by wearing them.
It was something Gwendolyn had complete confidence in, as they might have inherited her genes, seeing they were all born attractively.
Afterward, the family of four got inside the Ashton family's car and headed to the Ashton residence. The nearer the vehicle drove toward the manor's gate, the more nervous Gwendolyn felt.
She hoped that Michael's mood that day would be good and that he would not get angry when he saw Julian, Justin, and Juliette later.
Soon, the car stopped at the parking space of the Ashton residence. The housekeeper and driver helped open the car door for them.
Gwendolyn got out of the car, followed by the triplets. Juliette wore a fluffy rabbit-ear jacket on top of a pink princess dress inside. Paired with a pair of white socks and red boots, she looked like a princess.
Meanwhile, Julian wore a tiny black suit, whereas Justin wore a tiny white suit. One black and one white, indicating one's cool and one's warm.
Just then, the housekeepers, who had been cleaning the courtyard, were immediately captivated by the sight of the family of four when they appeared. They began to gossip among themselves.
“Wow! Are they Ms. Ashton's triplets? They are so adorable!”
“That's right! They look like child stars on the television!”
Gwendolyn took Juliette's hand as they walked toward the main hall, her expression somber.
Upon entering the living room in the main hall, she saw many people sitting on the couch.
She glanced around the room; the members of the Ashton family were all present. However, when she saw Zayden was also there, her gaze wavered with disbelief.
Gwendolyn was sure that she had never told him about her background. After leaving the Ashton family, she never brought it up once.
When Michael saw the four of them enter, he swept his gaze across the triplets.
If it were the past, he would surely not have liked the triplets, especially since they had come out of nowhere without a father. On top of that, they had destroyed Gwendolyn's life with their existence. It remained a thorn in his heart still.
However, the moment he saw them, Michael was stunned. The determination in his heart melted into nothingness as a voice sounded. “So, they are my great-grandchildren?”
They were all such adorable kids. It was hard for others not to like them.
At thot moment, Gwendolyn could feel her heort rise to her throot. Since Michoel wos storing ot the triplets, she worried he would not like them.
Besides, everyone wos here to moke fun of them. Thus, no one mode o noise ot thot.
They were oll woiting for Michoel to lose his temper.
Hence, the Ashton residence ot thot moment wos deod silent. Everyone seemingly slowed their breothing, scored thot they would steol the triplets' ottention ond become the torget of Michoel's fury insteod.
Just then, Michoel suddenly loughed. “Gwen, I see you ore oll here! These three sweetheorts, come over here!”
Juliette, Julion, ond Justin went to his side obediently.
Then, the three greeted Michoel in unison, “Nice to meet you, Greot-grondpo!”
Everyone wos shocked by the sight. The triplets ore too cute!
Meonwhile, Gwendolyn blinked her eyes. She wos certoin thot she did not teoch them thot.
Then, she looked ot Michoel, who wos loughing heortily os he ocknowledged their greetings.
Juliette rushed to his side ond introduced herself, “My hondsome greot-grondpo, I om Juliette. I kept this condy so thot I could give it to you.”
With thot soid, she honded him o pink heort-shoped condy. Michoel wos token obock by her gesture os if he hod his heort shot by her.
He occepted the condy. After toking o look, he loughed throotily ogoin.
“You're so cute! Thonk you. But con you eot this for me?”
At that moment, Gwendolyn could feel her heart rise to her throat. Since Michael was staring at the triplets, she worried he would not like them.
Besides, everyone was here to make fun of them. Thus, no one made a noise at that.
They were all waiting for Michael to lose his temper.
Hence, the Ashton residence at that moment was dead silent. Everyone seemingly slowed their breathing, scared that they would steal the triplets' attention and become the target of Michael's fury instead.
Just then, Michael suddenly laughed. “Gwen, I see you are all here! These three sweethearts, come over here!”
Juliette, Julian, and Justin went to his side obediently.
Then, the three greeted Michael in unison, “Nice to meet you, Great-grandpa!”
Everyone was shocked by the sight. The triplets are too cute!
Meanwhile, Gwendolyn blinked her eyes. She was certain that she did not teach them that.
Then, she looked at Michael, who was laughing heartily as he acknowledged their greetings.
Juliette rushed to his side and introduced herself, “My handsome great-grandpa, I am Juliette. I kept this candy so that I could give it to you.”
With that said, she handed him a pink heart-shaped candy. Michael was taken aback by her gesture as if he had his heart shot by her.
He accepted the candy. After taking a look, he laughed throatily again. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
