Chapter 527 Third Wheel

Zayden's defeat was soon evident after Gwendolyn joined the game.

In reality, Zayden intentionally went easy on her. He was actually a skilled chess player.

Michael expressed his joy at Gwendolyn's victory, saying, “Gwen, I never thought that you would still

have your chess skills after all these years, and you have even improved.”

“I usually read chess books. I have never given up on chess,” Gwendolyn replied.

Gwendolyn held onto her love for chess, as it was a shared interest between her and the person who

had shown her the most care in the world. Despite not expecting to be accepted back into the Ashton

family and receive Michael's forgiveness, Gwendolyn was determined never to give up on her passion

for chess.

Whenever she looked at chess books, it brought back memories of the days she spent playing with

Michael, and it made her difficult days more bearable.

When Michael heard her words, the stare he fixated on Gwendolyn became more intense.

Michael heaved a long sigh and turned to look at Zayden.

“Zay, Gwen has had a difficult life and has endured a lot of hardships because of you. It's important that

you always remember to treat her kindly.”

As Michael spoke, he reached out and placed Gwendolyn's hand on top of Zayden's hand.

“Both of you should lead a fulfilling life together,” the elderly man continued.

Gwendolyn watched her hand being held by Zayden.

A spark flashed across his eyes as he said, “Don't worry, Old Mr. Ashton. I will make sure of that.”

After making his stance clear, Zayden tightened his grip on Gwendolyn's hand even more.

As she observed the scene unfolding before her, Suzanne took a bite of the chocolate in her hand and

realized that it didn't taste as sweet as it did before.

Just then, Candace emerged from the house, she spotted Gwendolyn and Zayden holding hands and

confidently strutted toward them.

“Gwen, I see you've come with your fiancé. I've picked a date for your engagement. The tenth of next

month seems like a great day.”

After saying that, she handed a paper to Michael. “Dad, have a look at this. I've asked permission from

Father Jonathan.”

Taking a glance at it, Michael nodded.

“Very well, we'll go with that date. Gwendolyn, it's time to start thinking about your engagement attire

with Zayden. Is there a particular designer you have in mind? Let me know, and I'll arrange for a

custom-made outfit.”

Michael was not knowledgeable about engagement outfits, but he made an effort to have someone do

research on the latest trends in wedding and engagement attire for the younger generation.

Although Gwendolyn withdrew her hand from Zayden's grip, she didn't voice her objection to the

engagement proposal. Zayden could sense her reluctance, but he acted as if he was unaware of it.

He then piped up, “I remember Gwen used to love DK's clothing. I'll invite a designer from DK to design

her outfit.”

Candace smiled upon hearing that. “That's very thoughtful of you, Zayden. Gwen, you're fortunate to

have found such a great husband!”

Despite the congratulatory tone in Candace's words, her true intentions were rooted in a strong desire

for Gwendolyn to wed the blind man expeditiously, assuming the role of his constant caretaker and

dutiful housekeeper for the rest of her life.

Simultaneously, at the mere contemplation of her daughter's future union with the Lowen family,

Candace couldn't suppress a surge of exhilaration and satisfaction.

“In that case, let me take care of the engagement arrangements, Dad. Please carry on with your

conversation.”

After saying that, Candace strutted toward the house, leaving Gwendolyn with a tinge of sadness in her

heart as she watched the former go.

Gwendolyn couldn't help but glance at Zayden, whose mental state had weakened due to his

blindness. According to the doctor, he was suffering from PTSD, which was taking a toll on him.

Given the possibility that his sight may not return if provoked, Gwendolyn made the conscious decision

not to trigger Zayden any further. The potential consequences of doing so were simply too

unimaginable.

Turning her gaze toward Michael, Gwendolyn couldn't help but notice how his health had always been

fragile. Yet, lately, he seemed to have more energy than usual. Despite this, she was worried about

how he would react if he ever found out that Zayden was not the man she truly loved, nor the biological

father of their three children.

Might he collapse? Or would a more severe circumstance unfold if he discovered the truth?

Gwendolyn heaved a long sigh, not knowing what to do.

She valued both men dearly and didn't want to put them in a situation that could potentially cause them

harm.

Right then, a housekeeper approached the trio and said, “Excuse me, but it's time for Old Mr. Ashton to

take his medicine.”

“I need to take my medication,” Michael said as he stood up. “Feel free to help yourselves, you two.”

As he was getting ready to depart, he glanced over at Suzanne.

“Kid, why don't you come with me? Let's not be a third wheel.”
