Juliette reached out to hold her mother's hand.
Juliette reached out to hold her mother's hand.
While they were walking out of the bedroom, she pouted and said to Gwendolyn, “Justin and Julian say
they're not going with us. They have class today.”
Clearly, she was upset.
“I remember they don't have any class today, though?” the latter asked.
“It's computer class.”
Gwendolyn nodded as she recalled that her sons had recently signed up for computer class. To that,
she felt a little regretful.
The mother and daughter duo entered the boys' bedroom when they passed by it.
The two of them were sitting in front of their respective desks. Sitting on their desks were laptops gifted
to them by Gwendolyn.
“Justin, Julian, how about we take a leave today? Old Mr. Lowen and Old Mrs. Lowen missed you guys
so much. Don't forget that they even sent you guys monetary gifts during New Year.”
Juliette nodded in agreement. “Yeah! We have to go and thank them face-to-face!”
However, Justin glanced at Gwendolyn nonchalantly and said, “Mommy, we can't skip the class. You
guys go ahead.”
Julian also crinkled his eyes in a smile and said, “Mommy, we only like the two elderly people from the
Lowen family because they are nice to us. However, we don't like Patrick, so you must keep a distance

from him.”
Gwendolyn could not help but sigh at their words as she stared at her sons' handsome faces.
Oh, Patrick! Do you see this? Now it's going to be harder for them to acknowledge you than it is to
climb the tallest mountain in the world. We'll see if you dare to get entangled with any woman again.
Juliette pouted and continued to persuade her two brothers. “But I want you two to go with us.”
Juliette pouted and continued to persuade her two brothers. “But I want you two to go with us.”
The boys looked at her with adoration. “Have fun and enjoy your time there, Juliette. We're working
hard so that we can buy you more Barbie dolls in the future.”
At the sound of that, Juliette recalled how the boys had always said they wanted to help their mother
since they were very young. They did not want to see her work so hard and thus wanted to grow up
faster.
“Oh! I will. Keep up the good work, you two.”
In the end, she left them with a reminder and tugged Gwendolyn's hand.
“Mommy, let's go. I want to play with Old Mrs. Pretty. I missed them so much.”
With that, the two left home. Gwendolyn drove to the Lowen residence.
When the car drove slowly into the compound, Juliette exclaimed, “Mr. Handsome's house really looks
like a princess' castle. It's so big and beautiful.”
Gwendolyn cast her a sidelong glance and saw the envy of a little girl in Juliette's eyes.
Then again, even an adult woman like herself would have the same thought upon seeing the Lowen
residence. After all, the Lowen residence was indeed massive and picturesque.
The housekeepers were already waiting at the parking space when the two of them arrived. Thus, as
soon as she parked the car, they came and opened the door for them.
“Ms. Ashton, Ms. Juliette,” they greeted.
Juliette got out of the car and smiled at the housekeepers.
“Where is Old Mrs. Pretty? Does she know I'm here?”
One of the housekeepers, Loretta, who served Alice, chuckled when she heard the little girl's words.
“Old Mrs. Lowen is right there. Look, Ms. Juliette. We have a guest at the house today. They are all
having tea in the yard,” she replied and pointed to the yard.
Juliette looked in the direction and saw three people sitting at the table in the yard. They were Alice,
Hector, and another woman she had seen before.
However, she did not like that woman because her appearance always upset Gwendolyn.
Similarly, Gwendolyn also saw the guest Loretta mentioned. It turned out that the woman was Felicia,
and she was chatting away excitedly with Alice and Hector.
Holding Juliette's hand, she thought how unfortunate it was to stumble into Felicia at that place.
She hoped that Felicia would mind her words in front of her. Otherwise, she would not go easy on her.
Meanwhile, Alice noticed the mother and daughter duo coming in her direction. Inwardly, she could not
help but agree with how similar they looked. They are like two peas in a pod!
“Juliette, come here,” she cooed.
Juliette ran into Alice's arms excitedly and pecked her on the cheek.
“Old Mrs. Pretty, I'm here. I missed you so much.”
Her mellow voice delighted Alice so much that she kept calling her “sweetheart” and “honey pie.” It was
evident that she was very fond of Juliette.

However, Felicia sneered. “Gwendolyn, have you found the children's father? It's unfortunate for kids to
live without a father. It's pitiful.”
