As his voice was muffled, Gwendolyn could not hear him clearly.
Nevertheless, she would believe anything coming from him.
“Patrick, actually, I don't need anything. I only want to stay with you.”
That was her honest thought. She merely wanted to be with him.
Patrick lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead.
The car parked in front of Patrick's house. Three little fellas got down from the car in front and
approached the car in behind.
Justin knocked on the window, causing Gwendolyn to straighten her back instantly. Only then did she
wind down the window.
Her three sweethearts had attended the annual dinner too, and they had even won the handsome
prizes from the lucky draw. Justin and Julian had each won a laptop, and it was their favorite model.
The two were beside themselves with joy. Juliette had won a card that allowed her to spend freely in
any mall under Lowen Group.
Gwendolyn found it amazingly fortuitous. All three of her children had gotten the prize they fancied. At
some point, she even suspected that Patrick had pulled strings discreetly to predetermine the results.
Nonetheless, when she recalled that some of her colleagues had also won their desired prizes
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrespectively, she immediately brushed off the idea and reckoned that Patrick would not tamper with the
results.
“Mommy, you're home. You can get down the car now.”
Juliette giggled. “Mr. Lowen, thank you for the present. We love it! I'll work at your company when I
grow up.”
It was a wonderful company in her eyes. They had never taken part in an annual dinner held by
Gwendolyn's employer in the past.
This time, they decided to, and it felt just like a ball organized by a prince.
When they were relishing the meal, the performances on the stage were entrancing. Plus, all the
dishes served were scrumptious.
Patrick smiled tenderly. “You're welcome to work here when you grow up.”
Justin and Julian stared at their sister coldly, as if they were insinuating that she had no pride.
Juliette, however, was not at all bothered. “Mommy, it's fine if you don't want to come home. We'll head
to bed ourselves.”
With that, she held both her brothers' hands and prepared to enter their house.
However, Justin did not move an inch, whereas Julian narrowed his eyes while smirking mysteriously.
“Mommy, it's too late. You should come back home.”
If it were in the past, Gwendolyn would have hopped down from the car and returned home with them.
However, she decided against it that night. Patrick had drunk a lot, so she wanted to make a hangover
remedy for him.
She pursed her lips before bringing herself to request, “Mr. Derner, please take all three of them to
house number seven.”
Liam stood beside the three as he was taking the same car with them. He replied, “Sure, Ms. Ashton.”
He then cast a smile at the three children. “Sweethearts, I'll escort you guys back. Your mommy still
has some work to do. Let's not disturb her!”
Juliette nodded. “Okay. Mommy, concentrate on your work.”
Justin and Julian could see how adamant their mother was. Hence, they gave in and returned home
with Liam and their sister.
Patrick held her hand tightly and said in a sonorous voice, “Drive us to the house.”
He was moved by the fact that she rejected her sons for the first time because of him.
Albeit Gwendolyn was feeling guilty for what she had done, she could not leave Patrick alone. She had
to let down her sons for the time being and could only make it up to them after that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn the next day, Gwendolyn woke up in Patrick's arms.
She reached out her slender finger to caress his face, starting from his brows downward until it reached
his bewitching lips.
Patrick suddenly opened his mouth and confined her finger. Startled, she tried to withdraw her finger
but to no avail, as the man was unwilling to let her go. He even started licking her finger.
She could not stand the itchiness. “Patrick, stop that.”
Patrick merely curved his lips into a mischievous grin.
“I want to do it again.”
The previous night, the man had asked her to help him in releasing his pent-up desire while he was in a
drunken state. He had had her pleasure him in various ways, including what he had demonstrated a
moment ago.
It made Gwendolyn's cheeks flush red.
She quickly took out her finger when he was speaking.
However, Patrick rolled over and pinned her under his body, scrutinizing her affectionately from head to
toes. In response, she raised her hand and hit him.
“Stop messing around. It's broad daylight now.”
