Chapter 199
When Patricia heard that, the smile on her face gradually vanished as she went over to give them a
hug. "Thank you, boys. You guys are the best gift I've ever had. I'm happy enough to have all of you by
my side."
She did not need any man because it was enough to spend her days with her children.
Then, Josephine walked into the kitchen and mentioned, "Patricia, Mr. Selwyn is here. You should talk
to him. I'll help the boys with the cooking."
Patricia was never interested in cooking. She would not lay a foot in the kitchen if it was not for Isaac,
who coerced her into making something for him.
However, her family knew her very well and did not mind about it. The two sons were aware that she
was not into cooking, so they took it upon themselves. Even if Josephine was not around in the future,
they would not let Patricia cook on her own.

She then washed her hands before heading toward the living room where Sylvie was showing Zachary
the new dance she had learned recently. "Zach, what do you think of my dance?"
Sylvie loved to call others by their nicknames. Since she was close with Zachary, she tossed the
etiquette to the back of her mind.
However, Patricia frowned at that. "Sylvie, you should call him 'Mr. Selwyn'. Do you hear me?"
"No! I like to call him 'Zach'." Her daughter gave her an eye-roll in response before hugging Zachary.
"Zach, do you like being called 'Zach'?"
"No! I like to call him 'Zach'." Her daughter gave her an eye-roll in response before hugging Zachary.
"Zach, do you like being called 'Zach'?"
Patricia shrugged her shoulders as she had not idea what to do with the little brat.
Zachary caressed the girl's cheeks gently. "You can call me whatever you like."
He had doted on the kids ever since they were young, especially Sylvie. He was basically overindulging
her. Thus, Patricia exclaimed, "Zachary, you shouldn't pamper her too much. She'll grow up to be
rude."
Still, he proffered a box of Barbies to Sylvie. "Have fun with your new dolls, Sylvie. I have something to
tell your mother."
Sylvie cast a glance at her mommy. Despite the heavy heart, she could not wait to play with her new
toy as it was the pretty one which she did not own in her collection.
At last, she chose to play with her doll and let them be, seeing that they were best friends anyway. The
girl took the doll and had fun on her own at a corner whereas Patricia poured him a cup of tea.
"Here's your tea."
It was difficult to meet up with Zachary, who had not stopped by their house lately due to his busy
schedule.
He then took a sip of the warm tea. It was his favorite and he could only taste it at Patricia's place since
it was from Josephine's hometown. He missed the taste as it could not be found elsewhere.

"Spill it," said Patricia with a smile. After all, he was her savior as well as her kids'. As long as he
needed a favor, she would do everything in her power to help him.
He placed the cup down before holding his hand together while showing the delight in his gaze.
Whenever he looked at her, he could not even smother the smile on his face.
Indeed, he was in a good mood because Isaac was going to get engaged. He initially thought that
Patricia and Isaac were going to be together, but it seemed like that was not the case anymore.
He knew that he should trust her since she was not someone who would get married with Isaac
because of pecuniary reasons.
Furthermore, Zachary and Patricia had known each other for a long time, so it was a plus for him
compared to Isaac.
Watching at the man who kept staring at her, Patricia waved her hands before him. "Hey, Zachary, is
there something on your mind? I'll do anything for you as long as I can help."
"Patricia, I need a plus-one this Saturday. Could you come along with me?" His intention was to bring
her to Isaac's engagement ceremony as well as to expose themselves as a couple in front of the
media.
