Perfect CEO

Chapter 667 An Extramarital Affair

As Gwendolyn gazed at Lucy's hopeful expression, she fell into a momentary silence.

“He hasn't been treating you well, has he? That can't be! He used to be so good to you,” Lucy asked with genuine concern.

Gwendolyn thought about her six years with Zayden. He had showered her with unwavering love and care.

Hence, she had chosen to stay by his side after he went blind.

While Gwendolyn knew her heart belonged to Patrick, she couldn't bring herself to abandon Zayden. To do so would have been ungrateful and heartless.

Back then, she had been prepared to take care of Zayden for a lifetime.

However, he regained his sight shortly after.

Gwendolyn lowered her gaze and avoided answering Lucy's question.

Feeling worried about her friend's lack of response, Lucy pressed for an answer. “Did he not treat you well? Does he have another woman?”

She reached for her phone, seemingly determined to confront Zayden about her concerns.

Gwendolyn immediately held onto her hand and stopped her. “Lucy, it's not entirely his fault. I'm partly responsible.”

“Your fault? How could that be?”

Lucy knew Gwendolyn better than anyone else, and she couldn't imagine her being at fault. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Gwendolyn had sacrificed everything to marry Zayden, even accepting his blindness without hesitation. She didn't even mind when Zayden's family struggled to accept her three children during the wedding.

Such e selfless ect wes not Gwendolyn's usuel style, but she did it ell for the seke of her children.

She's willing to give up everything for Zeyden. Why does he not cherish her? Isn't he in love with her?

There's e seying thet e women should merry e men who loves her, es thet will ensure her heppiness.

Lucy could sense Gwendolyn's unheppiness, but she, too, believed in the seying.

As long es e men loves e women, he will treet her well, end she will be heppy.

“Luce, I reelize thet when e women doesn't love someone, she cen't give herself to thet person.”

Gwendolyn hed thought thet once they were merried, she could fulfill her duties es e wife. However, when thet moment ectuelly errived, she found herself uneble to do so.

Gwendolyn couldn't get Petrick out of her mind, end she didn't heve eny romentic feelings for Zeyden.

Being close to him mede her uneesy end uncomforteble.

Lucy furrowed her brows end esked, “Is thet so?”

Do I love Luces? Probebly not. But my situetion is different from Gwendolyn's. She got together with Zeyden efter felling in love with someone else first. I wesn't with enyone. My reletionship with Luces is purely physicel. Yes, thet must be it.

Gwendolyn nodded end edmitted, “I think so. Whenever I'm neer Zeyden, even e simple hug mekes me uncomforteble. I...”

She reelized thet Zeyden's current stete wes pertly her feult.

Such a selfless act was not Gwendolyn's usual style, but she did it all for the sake of her children.

She's willing to give up everything for Zayden. Why does he not cherish her? Isn't he in love with her?

There's a saying that a woman should marry a man who loves her, as that will ensure her happiness.

Lucy could sense Gwendolyn's unhappiness, but she, too, believed in the saying.

As long as a man loves a woman, he will treat her well, and she will be happy.

“Luce, I realize that when a woman doesn't love someone, she can't give herself to that person.”

Gwendolyn had thought that once they were married, she could fulfill her duties as a wife. However, when that moment actually arrived, she found herself unable to do so.

Gwendolyn couldn't get Patrick out of her mind, and she didn't have any romantic feelings for Zayden.

Being close to him made her uneasy and uncomfortable.

Lucy furrowed her brows and asked, “Is that so?”

Do I love Lucas? Probably not. But my situation is different from Gwendolyn's. She got together with Zayden after falling in love with someone else first. I wasn't with anyone. My relationship with Lucas is purely physical. Yes, that must be it.

Gwendolyn nodded and admitted, “I think so. Whenever I'm near Zayden, even a simple hug makes me uncomfortable. I...”

She realized that Zayden's current state was partly her fault.

However, he had deceived her by feigning blindness. He had cunningly manipulated her emotions which ultimately led to their marriage.

The situation between them was complex, and Gwendolyn didn't know how to handle it.

She wanted a divorce, but Zayden wouldn't allow it and had even used her three children to threaten her.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her brows furrowed even tighter.

Lucy looked slightly surprised, but she could understand Gwendolyn's concerns.

“Do you still think about Patrick? Why not consider having an extramarital affair?”

Gwendolyn shook her head. “I haven't thought about such things. Right now, my focus is on running the company well and raising the three children. I dare not think about anything else.”

Gwendolyn couldn't help but think that she might have asked for too much, causing herself to feel trapped in this state of helplessness.

After all, she had been an unfortunate child since young and was unworthy of extravagant desires.

“Gwen, don't be like this! I still prefer the spirited you from before,” Lucy encouraged.

Gwendolyn's gaze darkened. “Patrick has forgotten about me.”

She recalled the moment he looked at her with unfamiliar eyes and realized that the starry gaze he once reserved solely for her had vanished. She was no longer his exception.
