Perfect CEO

Chapter 51

The sight of the little girl with her hands on her hips made Gwendolyn chuckle in delight. Oh, how adorable.

Caressing Juliette's face, she explained with a grin, “My car broke down, so I couldn't come home and spent the night in a friend's house instead.”

She had already explained everything on the phone, and her sons didn't question her further. Clearly, her daughter was getting smarter by the day.

The man who's going to marry Juliette in the future will have a hard time, huh?

Juliette pouted. “Is your friend a man or a woman?”

My brothers said girls can't sleep with boys. I won't forget that, so I need to let Mommy know that, too.

Gwendolyn thought about it and replied, “A woman. She's a pretty old lady. Are you happy now?”

After learning that Gwendolyn had spent the night with an old lady, Juliette pondered briefly before saying, “All right, then. Next time, remember to come home on time!”

It was clear that Juliette had accepted her answer. Gwendolyn might have omitted some details, but she didn't lie about Alice.

Back in her room, Gwendolyn took a shower and changed into casual clothes. Finally, she felt more comfortable.

As she didn't get to shower yesterday, her body felt really grimy.

Gwendolyn pulled her phone out to check her inbox. She wanted to see if any companies had emailed her to inform her to attend interviews.

I sent countless emails, but there's only one reply asking me to attend an interview! That's disappointing. The employer is a veterinary hospital, but I don't know anything about veterinary medicine!

She decided to ignore the email and wait patiently until next week to see if there would be more replies.

Juliette padded into her room and leaned into her embrace.

“Gwen, let's go to Doll World!” she stated earnestly. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Her eyes were shining in anticipation. Despite being short on money lately, Gwendolyn didn't want to disappoint her daughter. Besides, they had gotten an annual pass a while ago. Hence, Juliette could head there anytime she wanted this year.

“Sure!” Gwendolyn agreed.

She patted Juliette's cheek again before heading to her closet to get a new change of outfit.

“I'll come downstairs after changing my clothes. Let the boys know that we're heading out soon.”

“Yes!”

With that, Juliette dashed out of the room.

“Justin, Julian! We're going out to have fun. Get ready!”

Gwendolyn couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing Juliette's cheerful voice.

Children were easily satisfied, so even something small could bring them delight. She hoped that her kids could grow up in a happy environment.

Camille remained at home, while Gwendolyn brought the kids to Codton Mall. Back when Gwendolyn was still close with the Ashton family, she was a frequent customer of this shopping mall.

In the car, Justin asked calmly, “Who lent this car to you?”

Mom should get a new car. Her old car was old and dangerous. Besides, she's not a good driver. It worries me.

Gwendolyn blinked twice, but she dared not spill the truth.

“Remember the pretty old lady I told you guys about? It was her who lent me the car.”

Juliette nodded. “Oh, she's a kind lady. Next time, you should invite her to a meal at our house.”

To Juliette, friends should meet up frequently and treat each others to meals. Besides, she loved this car and was utterly impressed by how beautiful it was.

Gwendolyn responded, “Okay.”

After arriving at Codton Mall, the family of four headed to the playground on the third floor.

Gwendolyn left them there and reminded Julian and Justin to take care of their little sister. She then headed to the pawnshop upstairs to ask how much her ring was worth.

If she could pawn it for five hundred thousand, there was no need for her to borrow money from Tommy's relative.

Meanwhile, Alice and Felicia had just arrived at the mall. They were taking the escalator when Alice spotted the playground. At once, her interest was piqued, and she peered into the playground curiously.

At her age, Alice loved children and wanted a great-grandchild for herself. Alas, Patrick remained single and showed no signs of getting married anytime. Thus, she could only think about it.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. Why are there two identical little boys who look exactly like Pat when he was young?
