Patrick raised a brow and snickered, completely unbothered by Zayden's words.
Gwen is already my woman, regardless. There's no chance of him snatching her away.
The atmosphere became tense at the table, and Gwendolyn's face turned crimson. She glared at
Patrick and gestured to him to stop talking nonsense.
Although the three children couldn't understand Patrick's words, Zayden and Camille were adults. She
did not want others to know about the private things between her and Patrick as it was too
embarrassing.
The man winked at her and smirked, looking like a handsome bad boy.
His actions had roused all her teenage fantasies.
Hence, she did not dare to look at him anymore. Patrick was also aware that he was not permitted to
say anything else.
He had already refuted Zayden earlier, so he did not care if the latter believed him or not.
Juliette darted her gaze between Patrick and Zayden, feeling conflicted between the two.
However, she knew that she liked them both.

The public believed Gwendolyn was pitiful and had a tough life raising three children on her own.
Yet, they were unaware that she was being pursued by two outstanding men. In Camille's eyes,
Gwendolyn seemed extremely blessed and not in the least pathetic.
Gwendolyn entered the kitchen after they finished their meal to assist Camille with the cleanup.
Patrick raised a brow and snickered, completely unbothered by Zayden's words.
She gave the latter a shock when she suggested doing the dishes.
“Gwen, these plates seem expensive. Why don't you cut some fruits for your guests?”
Gwendolyn could not help but laugh. In actuality, under Patrick's training, she had stopped breaking
glassware. After all, that man's items were too extravagant, and breaking one would pain her for a long
time.
In the living room, Justin and Julian chatted enthusiastically with Zayden.
Juliette saw that everyone was ignoring Patrick, so she decided to accompany him and tell him some
jokes.
Yet, she ended up laughing at her own jokes instead of making the man laugh. With her hands on her
abdomen, she asked, “Mr. Lowen, isn't it so funny?”
Patrick raised a brow and glanced at the time once more.
“Go and tell your mommy that it's nine o'clock.”
Juliette did not quite understand what he meant, but she knew it was time for her to sleep.
Zayden patted Julian's head and glimpsed at Patrick.
“Son, remember not to let strangers into the house next time, okay?”
The ball was in Patrick's court now. Yet, he let out a cold scoff.
“I'm not an outsider. I'll be their father in the future.”
Juliette giggled. “That's right! Mr. Lowen is not an outsider!”
Zayden peered at Juliette. Isn't she usually close to me? Why is she siding with Patrick now? Do all
females like guys like him?
Juliette noticed Zayden looking at her, so she added, “Zay is not an outsider too!”
Gwendolyn was bringing out the cut fruits when she heard Juliette's words. She frowned slightly.

“Zayden, Mr. Lowen, have some fruits.”
She stood in front of Patrick and looked at him with slight bashfulness.
Patrick was especially fond of her whenever she was shy, as he was the one who had changed her
from a simpleton to her current state.
He picked up a strawberry and extended his hand.
“Open your mouth.”
Gwendolyn was at a loss. She shook her head, indicating that he should not act like this in front of
others.
Still, he ignored her and repeated his words.
“Open your mouth.”
She leaned toward him and opened her mouth to eat the strawberry, leading to Patrick smiling at her.
It was a bewitching and gorgeous smile. This warmed her heart, and she smiled back lightly at him.
Zayden's expression turned slightly grim when he witnessed the scene.
Naturally, Justin also saw their interaction, and an idea occurred to him.
“Daddy, it's late now. You should return soon. Mommy will walk you out.”
With that, he faced Gwendolyn and added, “Mommy, Daddy's about to leave. You should send him off.”
