Felicia got surrounded by her classmates. Everyone was trying to curry favor with her so that she
would introduce them to Patrick.
Looking at that sight, Gwendolyn had to admit that Patrick was popular indeed.
She lowered her head to glance at her bag, thinking of going to her room first.
Benjamin didn't pay any attention to the conversation between Felicia and the rest of them.
He reached out his hand to Gwendolyn instead. “Let me help you. Our rooms are next to each other.
Mine is 1207, and yours is 1208.”
Of course, Lillian was the one who arranged that. Gwendolyn smiled.
“It's not heavy. I can carry it myself.”
During all these years, she had raised her children and done everything by herself. She had gotten
used to being independent.
Benjamin was slightly disappointed at her reply. He didn't insist, and he said, “I want to do something
for a beautiful woman, but she won't let me. It breaks my heart.”

and taken the elevator to their rooms.
Upon reaching the room, Benjamin called out to her. “Gwendolyn, come out once you've settled down.
We'll dine in the restaurant first and get changed after the meal.”
He was afraid that she would change into her swimming suit after getting into the room. He didn't want
other people to watch her in the swimming suit.
Gwendolyn smiled. “Sure.”
With that said, she went into her room and put her bag down. She scanned across the room. It was big,
clean, and cozy.
Then, she went to check on the balcony. Behind the room, there was a variety of hot springs. They
could soak themselves in the hot springs from the bottom to the top of the hill later.
Earlier in the lobby, she saw on the promotional flyer that there was a hot spring that overlooked the
view underneath the hill. It was one of the most popular spots.
Gwendolyn took her phone and walked out of the room shortly. She saw the handsome man waiting in
front of the door.
He had taken off his coat and changed into black sportswear. They were in matching outfits.
Gwendolyn was stunned. She didn't expect that he would be waiting for her.
“Benjamin, haven't you gone down yet?”
Benjamin merely glanced at her calmly. “You're still the same. Always act like a tortoise.”
With that said, he stroked her hair with a smile of adoration on his face.
Gwendolyn tidied her hair immediately. “Benjamin, you're still as childish as before.”
The man had always liked to stroke her hair like that in the past, and she would always get angry
because she looked ugly when her hair became messy.
The two burst out laughing suddenly. It was as though they were brought back to their high school
days.
Then, they went down to the restaurant on the second floor. They had booked a private chamber.

Gwendolyn and Benjamin went ahead to fill their plates before returning to the table.
The round table was already full of people, but they didn't seem to be so friendly anymore. Everyone
glanced at Gwendolyn awkwardly.
Gwendolyn looked at the woman with delicate makeup who sat not far away from her. She knew the
latter must have said something to those people.
Just then, Benjamin's best friend, Chester Xander, approached him.
“Benjamin, they said Gwendolyn is a sugar baby of an old man, and she has even given birth to three
children for him. You'd better think twice.”
Chester felt it was necessary to tell his best friend after knowing that news. He wouldn't want the latter
to get cheated.
He looked at Gwendolyn's sweet, innocent face and thought that this kind of woman knew how to gain
a man's sympathy for sure. Hence, he had to warn Benjamin of that.
Benjamin's expression changed swiftly. He swept a cold glance at everyone.
“Shut up! Scram out of here if anyone dares to speak another word!”
