Hector's expression darkened as he laid eyes on her. Pat's first crush is here. Humph! Which part of
this woman is comparable to Gwendolyn? Gwendolyn is pretty and adorable. Pat's really got a bad
taste in women!
Again, he began to doubt his eldest grandson.
Seeing Hector roll his eyes, Felicia was taken aback.
“Old Mr. Lowen, are you all right?”
She then patted his back with all her might until he began to cough.
While being patted by her repeatedly, Hector was getting dizzier. Both hands were holding tight to each
side of the wheelchair. His whole body tensed up.
Alice and Patrick got up and walked over. Patrick then asked the housekeeper to call the doctor over.
Standing at the side, he narrowed his eyes and studied Hector.
Does he have to be so happy now that Felicia is here?
Patrick couldn't fathom why Hector was so fond of Felicia.
He heaved a sigh. At first, Patrick wanted to chase Felicia out. However, upon seeing Hector being so
excited, he thought of letting the latter bask in this moment of joy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe doctor came and wheeled Hector into the bedroom on the first floor. Alice walked behind them
while wiping her tears.
“Hector, why are you so agitated? Calm down! The only time you should be excited is when Pat comes
back with his children.”
Alice felt that it was because Felicia was here that Hector became so agitated. Darn it, Hector, you
have never acted like this when you're with us. Do you have to be so happy now that Felicia is here?
Alice couldn't help feeling bitter.
Patrick also entered Hector's bedroom while Felicia stood there immobile. She wanted to go inside as
well but didn't dare to.
The smile on her face grew wider as she pursed her lips.
So, it's true that Hector likes me so much. Upon seeing him become so excited, Felicia was so happy
that she couldn't help grinning. In other words, there was hope for her. With Hector backing her up, she
could get close to Patrick even if Patrick didn't like her.
Great! It seems like luck is on my side!
Shortly after, Patrick walked out and took a glance at Felicia.
“You can stay here to celebrate the New Year with us. I'll calculate the expenses separately.”
With that, he turned around and went upstairs. Following that, Alice also made her way out and let out
a sigh of relief.
“Fel, have a seat. I'll go to the kitchen and check if the meal is ready.”
Felicia responded, “All right, Old Mrs. Lowen.”
Nothing much was going on in the Lowen residence, although it was the festive season. Felicia thought
the elderly grandparents hoped to see Patrick tie the knot and have kids. Hence, she was determined
to grab this opportunity.
After returning to his bedroom, Patrick took out his phone and texted Gwendolyn: What time will you be
back?
After that, he lit a cigarette and took a drag. It was a cloudy day. Staring at the garden of the Lowen
residence, he could see the mist in the air from a distance.
His phone remained silent even after he finished smoking. Gwendolyn hadn't yet replied to him.
Patrick's face darkened. For the very first time, he wanted to spend the New Year with someone. He
wanted to wish her a happy new year during this festive season.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, it looked like he had to spend the night here with Hector and Alice.
Even if he wanted to get back to Star Mansion, it would be in the wee hours of the morning by then.
About an hour later, the dinner was served. Felicia went upstairs to tell Patrick that the dinner was
ready.
Standing outside his bedroom door, she tidied up her hair and pulled down the V-neck dress, making
her cleavage pop even further.
Following that, she knocked on the door with a smile. “Patrick, Old Mrs. Lowen asked me to tell you
that dinner is ready. Let's head downstairs and have dinner together.”
After a while, Patrick opened the door and glanced at her nonchalantly.
Felicia gazed at Patrick, who was dressed in a gray sweater and a pair of slacks. He was different from
his usual formal look.
In such a casual outfit, Patrick appeared much more gentle and friendly. The usual overbearingness
was gone.
However, only his family got to see this side of him, which was why Felicia felt immensely excited at the
moment.
Her heart was racing. She seemed to be trying her best to calm herself down. Even the smile on her
face widened.
“Patrick, the dinner is ready. Let's go downstairs to have dinner together.”
