The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 265

McNeil frowned at Gwyneth. "You ate candy? When was this?"

Gwyneth glanced at McNeil's car, catching a glimpse of Violet's clothes through the window. So Violet was here too?

Afraid her dad would blame Violet, she quickly explained, "It was that day I had cotton candy."

The day Gwyneth got lost had started with her begging for cotton candy. McNeil had bought some, but by the time he returned, she had disappeared. When they finally found her, it was the cotton candy that finally soothed her tears.

McNeil seemed satisfied with her answer. "No more sweets from now on, alright?"

Gwyneth nodded, avoiding looking at the car.

Violet had already seen them, but she hadn't expected Victoria to come pick up Gwyneth as well.

She'd been about to get out, but hesitated and chose to stay in the car instead. McNeil could handle things; there was no need for her to get involved.

Besides, the past few days had been so busy at the company with the new project in development. She'd only managed to come out today because she wanted to spend time with McNeil—and maybe remind herself why being Mrs. Langford was worth it.

Honestly, everything she had depended on McNeil. Being with him was more important than work. As for everyone else, she could choose to keep her distance.

"Are you going home with Mom or Dad?" Victoria asked, her eyes flicking to the car. She wasn't blind—the shadowy figure behind the half-lowered window clearly wasn't McNeil's assistant.

Gwyneth didn't answer as quickly as she used to. She looked up at her mom, not wanting to leave her, but worried Violet might be upset.

But her teeth ached, and she shrank closer to Victoria, whispering, "I want to go home with Mom."

Victoria was surprised, but nodded. McNeil showed no emotion and just patted his daughter's head.
