Benjamin's voice boomed, a definite sign that indicated his frustration.
The others didn't dare offend Benjamin, so they turned their gaze away without saying anything else.
Lillian said, “Come on, guys. We used to be classmates. Let's not gossip any further about this.”
She took a seat beside Gwendolyn. “Gwendolyn, please don't mind them. You know very well that
people are bound to gossip when they get together.”
Gwendolyn's expression fell. She glared at Felicia coldly while gritting her teeth.
Felicia and Candace were the people who had caused so much trouble for me. How dare she speak ill
of me now?
Felicia gave her a smug smile in return. “Gwen, don't you glare at me. I didn't speak ill of you.”
“Why? Is the guilt bothering you now? I didn't say it was you who did it. A word of advice for you,
though, Felicia. Don't be so mean toward others, as what goes around comes around!”
Their classmates noticed the exchange between Gwendolyn and Felicia. This is surprising. They

“Okay. Let's stop arguing, shall we? Why don't we talk about something else?”
“Is any one of us getting married soon? I think it's about time for all of us to start a family now.”
Felicia smiled. “I guess that will be me. I'm getting married on the twenty-seventh of next month.
Everyone is invited to my wedding!”
She lifted her glass with glee. Everyone raised theirs in return to congratulate her.
“Congratulations, Felicia!”
“I'm happy that you are marrying a good man!”
“I'm jealous of you!”
Gwendolyn, on the other hand, gave no response to Felicia. She took a look at the seafood, lobsters,
and abalones that her classmates had ordered.
Ignoring everyone else, Gwendolyn stood up and filled her plates with food. I might as well fill up my
belly since I'm here. After all, I don't have to pay for it. I'll definitely have a good mood after having a
good meal.
Time passed as everyone mingled around happily, discussing their jobs.
Benjamin observed that Gwendolyn had spent the whole time stuffing herself with the food she took.
He pushed a bowl of soup in her direction.
He advised, “Gwendolyn, you might choke.”
She raised her head and peered at him before calmly replying, “Don't worry. I'm not as weak as you
think. I have to eat up, since so much delicious food is available here!”
Benjamin frowned. A pained look appeared on his face.
“Gwendolyn, you can always seek me out no matter what happens in the future.”
They had already exchanged their numbers earlier, so Benjamin was prepared to help Gwendolyn in
the future if she just gave him a phone call.
He was determined never to let go of her after waiting for her reappearance for the past six years.

Gwendolyn smiled sweetly. “Thank you!”
His words touched her, as no one had ever said that to her previously.
Just then, Gwendolyn's phone vibrated. It was Justin who had sent her a message.
Justin texted her: Mommy, we are at Mansion 6. If you have the time, please come over and play with
us!
Gwendolyn widened her eyes. She turned toward Lillian. “Is there a hot spring mansion around here?”
Lillian nodded her head. “Yes, there is one around here. It's Mansion 6. The price is exorbitant. Why?
Do you want to go?”
Gwendolyn shook her head. “Nope. I was curious because I heard about it before.”
A look of worry flashed across her face. What are they doing there at the high-cost Mansion 6?
She was about to ask her kids whether it was Zayden who had brought them there when her phone
beeped with a message from Patrick.
Patrick texted: Gwendolyn, I'm at Mansion 6 with your kids. Please come and visit us during your free
time.
