Chapter 594 Deceiving Him
Patrick fixed his intense gaze on Kevin. “Is something troubling you?”
Kevin was utterly flustered. He noticed something! What should I do?
If he revealed the truth, Patrick would likely cancel his trip to Corleon. At the same time, Kevin would
probably be unable to save his own skin too.
Suddenly, he calmed down.
“Fine, I'll come clean. I went to a nightclub and fooled around with a woman. Unfortunately, Estelle
found out, and now she's out to get me. That's when I made the decision to hide in Corleon with you.
It's a good opportunity to find out more about your illness too.”
That's a good enough reason, right? Since I'm known for being a playboy, he'll probably believe this.
Only then did Patrick finally avert his gaze and continue walking.
He believed me! He actually did! Thank God he believed me. As expected, I needed to sacrifice my
reputation first before I could convince him.
Kevin lightly held his forehead to calm himself down.
Once the plane takes off and we leave this place behind, everything will be fine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGwendolyn woke up a little after seven in the morning. As she pushed open the door to her room, she
saw Suzanne peacefully sleeping at her doorstep.
A subtle furrow formed between Gwendolyn's brows. Did Suzanne sleepwalk?
Bending down, she gently called out, “Suzanne, wake up.”
At the sound of her voice, Suzanne abruptly opened an eye. She lazily wiped a trace of drool from the
corner of her mouth before breaking into a sheepish smile.
“You're awake, Gwen.”
Gwendolyn smiled affectionately and ruffled Suzanne's hair.
“Why did you fall asleep here?”
Suzanne, still groggy from waking up, revealed the truth.
“Mr. Surrington instructed me to keep watch over you and make sure that you didn't meet any other
men. That's why I stood guard outside your door.”
Immediately realizing her slip of the tongue, Suzanne covered her mouth in haste, her wide eyes
darting around. Why did I reveal the truth to her?
Promptly rising from the floor, she scolded herself for succumbing to the temptation of sleep.
When she saw Suzanne giving herself a light slap, Gwendolyn couldn't help but release a sigh. So,
Suzanne came here for a purpose. Zayden even assigned her a task. She's so honest too, even
staying here for an entire night.
Gwendolyn smiled. “I'm heading to the Ashton residence. If you're tired, feel free to rest in the guest
room.”
With that, she began walking toward the staircase. Suzanne hastened to catch up with her.
“Gwendolyn, I'm your subordinate now. I'll go wherever you go.”
Suzanne had developed a deep reliance on Gwendolyn, having found solace and security in the latter's
presence.
Gwendolyn had no objections either. As long as Suzanne wasn't tired, she could tag along.
When the two went down the stairs, the Ashton family's driver was already waiting for them in the living
room. He directed his gaze toward Gwendolyn.
“Ms. Gwendolyn, Old Mr. Ashton asked me to fetch you.”
Gwendolyn nodded. “Let's go.”
Camille walked out of the kitchen. “Gwen, aren't you going to have breakfast?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had already prepared breakfast. It made no difference even if they left after eating first.
Gwendolyn smiled. “I have to eat there today. Please take care of the kids, Ms. Ziegler.”
Other than Juliette, the other two kids were actually Camille's little assistants, so it was like three adults
taking care of a kid. It wasn't all that tiring, to be honest.
Camille nodded. “Don't worry! I'll take care of them.”
Suzanne flashed Camille a bright grin. “Bye, Ms. Ziegler!”
Suzanne adored this place. They didn't treat her as a mere employee but rather as one of their own.
Yesterday, she had a delightful time playing with Juliette. Although Justin and Julian seemed cold at
first glance, those two boys were truly kind-hearted. She genuinely liked those three kids!
Suzanne felt a sense of belonging, as if she had found a home.
Camille waved her hand at Suzanne, bidding her farewell. “Bye, Ms. Drache! Visit us often when you
have the chance.”
“Of course, Ms. Ziegler!”
The driver opened the car door for them. Gwendolyn gracefully stepped into the car while Suzanne
opened her own door on the opposite side.
The car slowly moved out of the mansion. As they passed by Patrick's house, Gwendolyn
subconsciously glanced inside.
