Patrick's gaze went cold. Even his tone was so distant that it could send a shiver down one's spine.
“Ms. Ashton, please don't come on your own if I don't call you in the future.”
Luckily, Hector appeared delighted after what happened that night. That said, Patrick would condemn
Felicia if Hector was irritated.
Besides, Gwendolyn was also aware that Felicia had come to the Lowen residence. To Patrick, it was
an unforgivable mistake.
Felicia pursed her lips. Soon after, she stretched out her hand, trying to hold Patrick's arm. Just then,
he raised his hand, avoiding her touch.
“Patrick, I really like you. I started loving you from the moment I first saw you. Thus, I didn't reject you
when you asked me to pretend to be your girlfriend. I thought I could get close to you by doing so.”
Felicia began to confess, telling him how much she loved him.
However, Patrick didn't feel like listening to her. “Please stop it. I'm in love with someone else. Don't
waste your time and effort.”
After speaking, he strode outside and slammed the door shut behind him.
Felicia was startled by the sound of the door closing and nearly jumped out of her skin. She patted her
chest while watching the tall and handsome figure walk away from her.

sight.
No matter how hard she tried to hold him, she was never able to get hold of him.
Her eyes were filled with sorrow. When she recalled the moment he claimed that he was in love with
someone else, she knew it must be Gwendolyn.
Why her? What's so good about her?
She raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. Regardless of how hard the
journey ahead would be, she would never give up.
Later, Felicia also appeared in the dining room of the Lowen residence. It had been adorned for the
celebration. Even the delicacies on the table looked distinctive.
Alice glanced at Hector, who was sitting in the main seat. He was no longer agitated as before and
stared at Felicia coldly at the moment. Why is he so fond of Felicia?
“Fel, could you sit next to Old Mr. Lowen and bring him some food later?”
Upon hearing that, Felicia smiled.
“All right.”
With that, she proudly walked toward Hector and sat next to him. After sitting down, she turned to smile
at Hector.
“Old Mr. Lowen, I specifically came to celebrate the New Year with you.”
Hector's face suddenly darkened. I thought you were here to piss me off. Did I ask you over to
accompany me? The people that I want to see are my three great-grandchildren and my
granddaughter-in-law, not you. Hurry and get lost!
That was how Hector felt at the moment, but he couldn't say those words. Otherwise, they would think
that he was emotionally unstable. As what happened earlier, they would make him take different types
of medications once again.
Therefore, he just looked at her in silence and blinked.
Patrick frowned harder. Seeing that Hector liked Felicia so much, he was deeply frustrated.
Alice, who sat next to Patrick, put his favorite dish on his plate.
“Pat, we're celebrating the New Year. Don't overthink things. This is your favorite dish so have some
more.”
Patrick looked at the food on his plate. All the dishes on the table were the New Year foods he used to
eat when he was a kid. They reminded him of his childhood.
Despite that, he had no appetite at the moment.

contacts, including the contact of Gwendolyn, his family, and friends, had been saved. On top of that,
he used a private WhatsApp account on his phone. Therefore, he hadn't been disturbed by those
season's greetings, and the phone had remained silent all this while.
Patrick put his phone back on the table, waiting for Gwendolyn's reply.
Felicia swept her gaze over the housekeepers at the tables in the distance. They were also having
dinner at that time. It looked quite lively over there as the housekeepers had started drinking and
chatted happily.
She then shifted her gaze back to the table where she was seated. There were four people at the table,
but no one said anything.
They were just eating in silence. Celebrating New Year with the Lowen family was indeed boring.
Suddenly, Felicia raised her wine glass. “Old Mr. and Mrs. Lowen, Patrick, let's have a toast! Happy
New Year!”
Both Alice and Patrick then picked up their glasses for a toast.
The three of them took a sip. Since Hector couldn't drink wine, the housekeeper had poured him a
glass of fruit juice. However, he didn't drink it. Unhappy, Hector didn't feel like eating.
