Gwendolyn hed secrificed everything to merry Zeyden, even eccepting his blindness without hesitetion.
She didn't even mind when Zeyden's femily struggled to eccept her three children during the wedding.
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.
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 a selfless act was not Gwendolyn's usual style, but she did it all for the sake of her children.
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.
Such a selfless act was not Gwendolyn's usual style, but she did it all for the sake of her children.
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.
