They both jolted upright.
“Ahhh!” Gwendolyn exclaimed.
Patrick covered his nose, but blood was already dripping from his nose.
Seeing Patrick covering his bloody nose and glaring at her reproachfully, Gwendolyn suddenly
remembered what happened last night.
“Patrick, I'm sorry!”
Patrick did not respond to her but got out of the bed and walked to the bathroom.
She's so dangerous. I can't believe I got a nosebleed because of her in the early morning.
Meanwhile, Gwendolyn was dumbstruck as she sat on the bed.
Why am I on his bed? And why does it feel like someone was cuddling me throughout the night? If I
have to be honest, it did feel pretty comfortable.
Just then, Gwendolyn suddenly remembered something. “Where is Old Mrs. Lowen? I thought she
went to look for a doctor? Why didn't she wake me up when she came back?”
When Gwendolyn was brooding over what happened the previous night, her phone rang.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter rummaging around the room, she found her phone in the walk-in closet.
As she picked her phone up, she saw that the caller was Justin and was surprised that she had many
missed calls.
They must be worried sick when I didn't go home last night.
She answered the call at once. “Justin.”
Justin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Gwendolyn's voice.
“Mommy, you didn't come home last night. We were worried about you.” Justin's voice was a bit cool
and sounded a little unhappy.
However, growing up with a good upbringing, he would not get angry nor be unreasonable easily.
Gwendolyn replied in a gentle tone, “I'm so sorry! I'm fine. I just spent the night at my friend's house for
work-related matters and will be back soon.”
“Mommy, you've been naughty!” Juliette chimed in.
Hearing Juliette's voice, Gwendolyn could imagine Juliette looking all grumpy and pouting on the other
end of the line.
“Sweetheart, my car broke down, so I couldn't go home. Can you please forgive me this time?” asked
Gwendolyn.
Juliette snorted before saying, “No, I won't allow that unless you're with Mr. Handsome. From now on,
you have to come home on time and not stay out anymore.”
Juliette was taught to say all that by her brothers, Justin and Julian.
Gwendolyn felt slightly guilty after hearing Juliette's words. Indeed, she had stayed with Patrick last
night. However, she could never let her children find out about that or the fact that she owed Patrick a
lot of money.
“I got it. I promise this is the last time. Ask Ms. Ziegler to take you out. You need to get under the sun
for calcium,” assured Gwendolyn.
After a brief conversation, Gwendolyn hung up the phone.
She took a deep breath. Who would have thought my children would be managing my life and even
giving me a curfew?
Just then, Patrick walked out of the bathroom and started to pick out his clothes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGwendolyn was a little embarrassed about the previous night.
When she was about to leave, Patrick stopped her and asked, “Gwendolyn, why do you still drool when
you sleep?”
Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn pretended she did not hear his words and fled the room.
The man chuckled as he took off his robe. She's even cuter when she's shy!
Without washing up, Gwendolyn exited Patrick's room and ran downstairs with her phone.
Alice, who was reading in the living room, heard her footsteps.
She raised her head. “Gwen, you guys are awake! Breakfast is ready.”
The breakfast was not prepared by Alice but by the housekeeper from the Lowen family who had come
with Alice.
Gwendolyn blushed and said, “Old Mrs. Lowen, I should get going now.”
I can't believe they just let me sleep with Patrick last night. Why is this happening to me? Oh, my God!
This better not be real!
Alice walked to Gwendolyn and took the latter's hands with a smile.
“Gwen, I know Pat slept with you last night. Don't worry. You have our back.”
