She leaned her head against his back and caught a whiff of his scent. He smells clean and fresh, and
there's even a hint of mint.
Patrick held her hands and replied, “I was done with it a long time ago. Let's go back together tonight.”
Gwendolyn smiled when she heard that. She was laughing at herself because she realized how clingy
she was.
Patrick had somewhat of a similar feeling. I can't get enough of this woman.
At eleven in the morning, they arrived at the seaside mansion.
Gwendolyn got changed and noticed Patrick looking at her from the entrance of the walk-in closet. I've
never seen him so unoccupied.
She walked up to him and caressed his face. “If you don't have work to do today, sleep here. You
surely didn't get a good night's sleep last night.”
Patrick had woken up early that morning, and dark circles were forming under his eyes.

“Sure, but let me drive you,” Patrick responded.
Gwendolyn had no reason to reject his offer, so she nodded with a smile.
Patrick drove down the coastal road in a blue convertible sports car while Gwendolyn sat in the
passenger's seat. She was squinting her eyes as she gazed at the amazing view.
Obviously, she was having trouble keeping her eyes open due to the glaring sun.
Right then, Patrick put on a pair of sunglasses and passed her a pair as well.
Gwendolyn felt a lot more comfortable after putting on the sunglasses.
While feeling the sea breeze on her skin, she turned to look at the man in sunglasses and a white T-
shirt. He's as handsome as a character in a comic.
Suddenly, Gwendolyn felt blessed. I've been through so many hardships, but I'm now blessed with an
incredible man in return. Those sufferings are worth it, it seems.
Gwendolyn would be meeting Sophia at a restaurant in the pedestrian zone. Since cars weren't
allowed to enter, Patrick had no choice but to stop by the side of the road.
Before getting out of the car, she glanced at him and said, “I'm getting out of the car now. Remember to
have lunch, okay? Don't starve yourself.”
Seeing that she was behaving like a controlling wife, Patrick took off his sunglasses and looked at her
with his deep gaze. “Okay. I'll fetch you once you're done. Remember to give me a call.”
“Sure!” Gwendolyn smiled. It's so nice to have a private driver. Now, I don't need to hail an Uber
anymore. At times, I didn't even know who these Uber drivers were. They were unreliable, and I had to
cancel my rides most of the time. Although I wasn't happy with them, I couldn't lash out at them. I would
be in trouble if they turned out to be gangsters. Unlike them, my current Uber driver isn't too shabby.
Not only will he be on time, but he's also a handsome man with a nice car. Wait... I better abandon that
thought! Patrick is going to be mad if he finds out that I'm comparing him to an Uber driver.
She quickly opened the car door and got out of the car. She waved him goodbye and said, “Bye! Be
careful on the road!”

Patrick couldn't help but smile when he saw that. She must've been a naughty little girl back then.
His heart wrenched when he thought about how much Gwendolyn had suffered in life.
Gwendolyn entered the restaurant and saw no one inside except for Sophia. Sophia was sitting at a
table next to the window with her back facing the entrance. Isn't this a famous restaurant? Usually,
people need to queue up outside the restaurant. Besides, reservations need to be made online! What's
going on today?
Prior to that, Gwendolyn had browsed the internet and found excellent reviews for the restaurant. That
was why she had invited Sophia out for lunch at that restaurant.
Upon seeing the empty restaurant, however, she felt bad. Are those reviews I found on the internet
fake?
Right then, a server saw Gwendolyn and approached her. “Miss, we're not open for business today.”
As soon as those words fell, Sophia waved at Gwendolyn and called out, “I'm here, Gwen!”
