Patrick glanced at Felicia. She's rather impressive. I can't believe she managed to treat Grandpa.
However, if she thinks she can control me just because she pulled that off, she's in for a huge
disappointment.
Ignoring Hector, he approached Gwendolyn's car.
Juliette poked her head out and smiled. “Are you going to ride with us, Mr. Handsome? There's not
enough space inside, though.”
As she spoke, she looked in the car. With her and her brothers taking the backseats, there was no
more room for Patrick to sit.
Gwendolyn's expression darkened.
As she remained in her seat, she stared out the window absentmindedly. Why is Old Mr. Lowen acting
so differently after he recovers? He used to be very friendly with the children and me, but now, it seems
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlike he hates me. It doesn't make me feel good. Did Felicia do something? Is that why Old Mr. Lowen
detests me now?
Lucy wasn't doing any better since Gwendolyn was her close friend. I saw what happened earlier
clearly. The girlfriend Old Mr. Lowen approved was Felicia, not Gwen. Whenever I think about that, it
just makes me feel awful. I used to think Patrick's great. Whether in terms of his appearance, family
background, or abilities, he's the man of many women's dreams. Many people in Avenport wanted to
marry him, so I thought Gwen was lucky to obtain his love. I used to hope that she would be able to
marry him. That way, no one will bully her anymore. If she has someone she can count on, she won't
need to lead an arduous life anymore. After what happened today, though, I don't think I hold the same
opinion anymore. It'll be pretty difficult for Gwen to marry into the Lowen family. And based on Old Mr.
Lowen's attitude toward her, it seems like she'll have a bad time.
A long sigh escaped her lips. I should forget about it. Women like us, women with children, can't ever
hope to enter a wealthy family or even marry a good man. I give up. In the past, I thought Gwen's my
life's goal. I wanted to be like her, to find a good man and then marry him.
Patrick stood next to Gwendolyn's seat and opened the door. “Get out.”
It was then she returned to her senses. She blinked at his cold countenance and asked, “What are you
doing?”
Instead of replying, he carried her out of the car.
“Patrick!” she exclaimed in shock.
However, he ignored her, kicked the door close, and turned to Lucy. “We'll meet you in Avenport!”
Patrick proceeded to bring Gwendolyn to the Bentley.
As Lucy watched that scene unfold, she couldn't help but think it looked like something ripped straight
out of a television show.
It wasn't until the couple entered the car and left that she returned to her senses. “Fasten your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmseatbelts, Sweethearts. I'll be bringing you three home.”
Juliette giggled. “Mr. Handsome was so awesome and suave when he carried Mommy away.”
Justin and Julian exchanged a glance before checking if their sister's seatbelt was fastened.
As Lucy watched the boys look after their sister, she thought about her daughter. If I had given birth to
triplets as well, I bet Melanie would be well taken care of by her brothers. Perhaps she won't need to
suffer as much.
Inside the car, Gwendolyn was leaning against the window while Patrick stared at her.
“Are you preparing to leave far away from me forever, Gwen?” There was a tinge of dissatisfaction and
fury in his deep voice.
It was only then she scooched a little closer to him before turning her sight away.
He couldn't take it anymore because he disliked her being so distant from him. Thus, he pulled her into
his embrace and hugged her tightly. Upon taking in her pleasant body fragrance, he felt much better.
“I'm not my grandfather, Gwen. Understand?”
