NovelEnglishSaturday came and Patricia was still in bed when she received Selina’s phone call.
“Patricia, don’t forget that we’ll be meeting in front of the lobby of Serene Hot Springs at 12.00PM.”
To Patricia’s recollection, Selina had always been a conscientious person and it showed even till this
day.
As such, Patricia was impressed and reckoned that Selina definitely had the inborn personality of a
leader.
“Sure, Selina.”
After Patricia hung up the phone, she heaved a sigh of distress. She did not intend to join the gathering
at first, but it seemed that she had no choice now.
In the end, she got out of bed and chose a simple yet non-revealing swimsuit. Subsequently, she
changed into a set of black activewear. She walked out of the house with a baseball cap on her head
and covered herself with her hoodie.
That way, she would look carefree and energetic. Meanwhile, the three kids trailed after her and Sylvie
sighed. “Tricia, what’s a high school gathering? I wanna go too!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPatricia placed her bag into her car’s front seat and looked at Sylvie’s unruly hair. Dressed in a yellow
ducky pajamas, she looked extremely adorable by just standing there.
“Well, like the classmates you have right now, you guys will be gathering together after many years
when you all become grown-ups.”
Sylvie nodded. “Oh. Then, that means little Frannie would become a grown-up Frannie and little me
would become a grown-up Sylvie. It’s a meet-up when we grow up.”
Patricia smiled and stroked Sylvie’s little face. “Yes, that’s how it is.”
However, Scott, on the other hand, remained apprehensive. “You don’t know how to swim. Don’t forget
to bring a float with you when you enter a deeper pool.”
Stellan lifted his brows. “Show us your swimsuit. You’re not allowed to go in anything too revealing.”
Shocked, Patricia thought to herself, Don’t the boys trust me? In the end, she shrugged resignedly.
“I’ll be fine. I’ll be careful. I’ve chosen a very old-fashioned swimsuit.”
At this point, Patricia could picture the scene when Sylvie was old enough to date. With the boys
keeping guard, it would be quite safe to say that Sylvie was not going to get a boyfriend in her lifetime
as they would all be scared off by her brothers.
Patricia hurriedly ushered the triplets to head back into the house. “Stay home like good kids and
you’ve got training class this afternoon. Josephine will send you there.”
At last, she drove her car in the direction of Serene Hot Springs. It was located in a little district by the
outskirts of town and there were tons of hot springs around.
She had just gotten onto the highway when her phone rang. She answered, “Hello?”
She did not pay notice to the caller ID as she had Bluetooth earphones on to avoid breaking the law by
answering her phone while driving.
“Patricia, don’t forget that you still owe me one hundred and nineteen thousand. It’s the afternoon, so
why aren’t you here to cook for me?”
Having assumed that she was allowed a break, she was surprised to hear from Isaac as he had not
asked for her for the past weekends.
Frustrated, she thought, If only I knew to use him as an excuse, then I wouldn’t have to attend the
gathering.
“President Arnold, I’m sorry, but I have a class gathering today. So, can I take the day off?”
She was already on the highway, so it was not realistic to turn back by now. Besides, Selina had been
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpersistent, thus it would be ugly to turn down her invite at this time.
Seeing that she was the only one absent for the past gatherings, her ex-classmates had all been
excited to meet her again.
On the other end, Isaac frowned slightly. “Class gathering? I thought that you never went to school?”
He recalled her mentioning that before.
Hearing that, Patricia cursed in her mind. You’re the one who never went to school, you imbecile!
“President Arnold, I attended high school before. Haha. So, a class gathering makes sense now, right?”
“Where is it held?”
At her boiling point, she was tempted to yell at him. Why does he have to know everything about
me??? “President Arnold, this is my personal matter. Can I keep this to myself?”
She was seconds away from hanging up the phone. He’s such an annoying man! I’m so triggered!
“Sure. Then, perhaps I should let Josephine be my personal secretary. Have fun at the gathering with
your classmates!”
