Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 325

The two were fully captivated by their new laptops. They felt that Patrick was generous, as all the gifts he prepared for the annual dinner were expensive. Hence, they decided to let him off for now.

Julian lifted his head, smiling faintly. “Mommy, we know that you're busy with work. We understand.”

With that said, he kept his laptop and glanced at the time. “Mommy, we're going to Great-grandpa's home to celebrate the New Year together. Mr. Zayden is almost here.”

Gwendolyn was stunned for a moment. “What?”

She did not mention that she would return to the Ashton residence for the New Year. Instead, she intended to go to the Lowen residence, as she wanted to celebrate the New Year with Patrick.

Just then, her phone started ringing. As soon as she noticed that it was Michael calling, she frowned.

Didn't Grandpa say I could go home the next day after the New Year? That was why I accepted Old Mrs. Lowen's invitation.

Left with no choice, Gwendolyn picked up the call helplessly. “Grandpa.”

“Gwen, come back and celebrate the New Year with us. I miss you so much.”

Gwendolyn could tell from Michael's voice that he was excited. However, she was in a dilemma. “Grandpa, c-can I come home on the day after the New Year?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Michael glanced at Zachary, who was standing at the side. It's rare for this brat to think of Gwen. He even asked me to invite Gwendolyn home to celebrate the New Year together.

“Gwen, can you come back now? You had been staying outside all these years, so I couldn't even enjoy the New Year well. This year, you've come home. I'm finally relieved.”

Michael was telling the truth. He did not know what the others in the family felt over those six years. However, he missed Gwendolyn more during the New Year. After all, he had loved and doted on her with all his heart since she was young. Hence, he felt that something was missing without her by his side.

Gwendolyn listened to what Michael said silently. She could not bring herself to reject him, so she answered, “Okay, Grandpa.”

Right then, Camille opened the door.

Zayden walked into the house in a dark blue suit. As he strode toward the living room, he exuded a dignified, majestic aura around him.

Julian and Justin exchanged glances before standing up in unison. “Mr. Zayden, you're here.”

It was evident that both of them were over-friendly when they saw Zayden. Usually, they would not even act like that. Gwendolyn knitted her brows, thinking. She assumed that Patrick was the reason why they were especially friendly with Zayden.

Patrick, who was sitting and chatting with Juliette, stood up emotionlessly.

An arrogant look crept over his face as he strode toward Gwendolyn. Reaching out a hand, he pulled her into his arms. “Gwen, it's almost time.”

Gwendolyn knitted her brows hard. With an apologetic look, she dragged Patrick into the study on the first floor. After closing the door, she hugged Patrick and said coyly, “Patrick, I can't go to your house to celebrate the New Year. I have to go home and accompany my grandpa. Don't be angry with me, okay? I'll come home earlier tonight and spend time with you.”

Patrick's expression turned grim as he reached out his long, slender fingers to pinch her chin. His eyes were dark and terrifying. “You decided to stand me up because of Zayden?”

There was no trace of emotion in his icy-cold voice. Gwendolyn stared intently at him with her big, round eyes. Looking innocent, she explained, “It's not like that. My grandpa called me and asked me to go home to celebrate the New Year with him. He's old now. As he said, he lost a year with every passing year. Hence, he was afraid that he might not be able to wait until next year anymore. I feel like going home to spend some time with him upon hearing what he said.”

Patrick had never asked her about her family and their affairs. Now that he heard what she said, he felt his heart soften.

Lowering his head, he pressed his lips against hers and kissed her domineeringly.

After some time, she moaned as she was short of breath. Hearing that, Patrick let go of her slowly.

Gwendolyn could finally breathe again. She came back to her senses in an instant. However, she had no strength left in her body, so she leaned against him and panted heavily, attempting to catch her breath.

Patrick said coldly, “You can go home and accompany your grandpa. But then, you have to bring me along.”

Gwendolyn was taken aback by his words. Startled, she lifted her head abruptly. “Patrick, I can't bring you home for now. Can we talk about this some time later? There are some things I haven't explained to my family yet. It's not appropriate for you to come with me.”

Grandpa has assumed that Zayden is the father of my three kids now. If Patrick appears out of the blue now, what will Grandpa think? He'll definitely be so disappointed in me. Perhaps he'll chase me out of

the house again!

Gwendolyn dared not think about the consequences.
