Perfect CEO

Chapter 654 The Truth

“What did you say?” Zayden asked.

Gwendolyn held Juliette's hand and walked to the door. “Did I say anything?”

Juliette pouted. “I want to put on a princess gown.”

Gwendolyn glanced at her and responded, “You look great in this dress. Come on, let's go!”

Juliette was already looking sweet in her Princess Elsa dress.

Her two sons, on the other hand, were dressed more casually, but it did not matter since they were just children.

Watching the family of four get into one car, Zayden had no choice but to get into the vehicle behind. Suzanne followed suit and got into the car as well. As soon as she got in, she held his hand and rested her head against his shoulder. “Mr. Surrington, how do I look?”

Zayden gave her a cold glance, his gaze lingering on the spot where she held his arm.

Suzanne reluctantly let go of his arm, remembering his earlier words that they could only get intimate when he initiated it. Otherwise, she had to keep her distance from him.

She pursed her lips in annoyance, finding him more adorable when he was single. Back then, he had treated her so well that he even called her Darling. But now he was harsh to her most of the time.

Noticing that Suzanne had distanced herself from him, Zayden warned her indifferently, “Remember

your identity. I'll send you away if you do that again.”

Fear flickered in Suzanne's eyes as she pleaded, “Mr. Surrington, I promise to behave. Please don't send me away.”

Despite leaving Dragonhill Mansion, she felt safe staying in Zayden's residence.

If he were to kick her out of the house, she would have no way to survive on her own and would likely starve to death as she had no survival skills.

She had to obey him if she wanted to stay by his and Gwendolyn's side.

Zayden glanced at her grimly. Suddenly, he reached out and held her hand in his palm. “Remember what I said. Don't tell anyone about us. Understood?”

“I won't.”

Suzanne's face lit up as she looked at him holding her small hand. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

In another car, Gwendolyn picked up her phone and go through her messages with Patrick. Why haven't I heard from him?

She had not seen him ever since she got married.

In the last three months, she had kept herself occupied with learning the ropes of managing a company. Her hectic schedule had helped her resist the urge to see Patrick after she had decided to end things with him.

It was only today that she had some time to scroll through his Instagram and WhatsApp.

Nevertheless, he hardly ever posted anything on Instagram. Even most of his posts were work-related.

Upon arriving at the Surrington residence, they got out of the cars and headed toward the main building.

As they entered, Angeline immediately noticed the three children. She quickened her pace and approached Zayden.

“Why did you bring them here?”

The Surringtons would never acknowledge the three children as their family. Previously, Angeline had accepted Gwendolyn as her daughter-in-law, but now that Zayden had recovered, she felt her son deserved someone better.

She had forgotten all the pleas she had made to Gwendolyn.

Zayden held Juliette's hand and said, “They're also your grandchildren since Gwen and I are married.”

Angeline's expression changed slightly. “Don't talk to your grandparents like that later. It'll ruin the birthday celebration.”

Gwendolyn glanced at the three children, knowing that the Surringtons would not acknowledge them. “Zayden, I'll take them back first. You can stay and continue celebrating Grandpa's birthday.” She then turned to the children. “Wait for me in the car.”

Juliette did not want to leave, but her two brothers talked her into walking back to the parking lot.

Once the children left, Zayden grasped Gwendolyn's hand. “Grandpa will overthink if you don't come with me.”

Gwendolyn shot daggers at him. “Zayden, does it matter if we're there or not?”

Zayden's expression turned slightly cold. “Gwendolyn, don't even think about divorcing me. You and your three children are stuck with me for the rest of your lives.”

Gwendolyn's gaze darkened, and she let out a snort. “You tricked me into marrying you just so you can torture me, right?”

One fateful evening, intoxicated by alcohol, Zayden had blurted out the truth he had long kept concealed. He had feigned blindness to defeat Patrick.
