Gwendolyn was holding a pen while she drew on the sketchbook when she heard his words. She then
turned her head to look at the screen.
On the laptop screen was a picture that she couldn't understand at all. As she frowned, she wondered
if it would be easier for her to comprehend if it were a photograph.
However, Gwendolyn still couldn't tell that it was a blueprint of a house.
Patrick smiled as he tapped on the keyboard several times. A three-dimensional picture suddenly
appeared on the screen.
The house is beautiful, and each room is its own entity, while every space is marked with a specific
purpose. He's so smart. How can he draw out such an intricate floor plan? The blueprint even looks
meticulously calculated.
When she thought of her own math grades last time, she pursed her lips and gave up thinking about it.
“Do you see it now?”
Gwendolyn nodded and replied, “I guess so.”
The two of them remained preoccupied with their matters throughout the entire flight until the plane
landed.
As soon as he walked out of the airport, Patrick's phone kept ringing. He was answering calls one after

Patrick had his phone in one hand and held Gwendolyn's hand with the other.
“All right. I'll come to the office now. We'll have a meeting an hour later.”
Just after he hung up the phone, another call came in again.
“I just saw the proposal, and it's not feasible. We will have to make changes to it. I'll be in the office an
hour later. Let's discuss this in my office by then.”
Listening to his deep and pleasant voice, Gwendolyn agreed that men were at their most handsome
when they were working. There was an air of superiority around Patrick at that moment, and
Gwendolyn was both amazed and impressed by his demeanor.
Just then, it was Gwendolyn's phone that rang suddenly. Noticing it was Angeline calling her, she
picked it up immediately.
“Mrs. Surrington.”
“I was at your place just now, Gwendolyn. Your housekeeper said that you'd be back today. Have you
landed?”
The timing of Angeline's call to Gwendolyn was impeccable since Camille was aware of Gwendolyn's
itinerary.
“I've just landed. Is anything the matter, Mrs. Surrington?”
Has Zayden been feeling unwell again?
“Zay has been discharged from the hospital, and he's currently staying in the countryside mansion
alone. He doesn't want to see me or anyone else. I'm concerned about him. I beg of you, Gwendolyn,
please check on him for me and talk some sense into him.”
Gwendolyn felt worried as well when she heard Angeline's words.
Zayden used to be a kind and caring person. She never imagined he would turn into such a person
after he lost his vision.
As someone who understood him, Gwendolyn was certain she would be able to help him overcome his
despair.
“I will. Please send me the address later. I'll pay him a visit after I make a trip home.”
She glanced at Patrick after hanging up the call and realized he was still talking on his phone.
Her heart ached for Patrick, as she imagined he would live an extravagant lifestyle every day since he
was the CEO.
However, he was working hard day and night as he had to make many decisions, and as a leader of a
large company, the livelihood of many employees and their families depended on him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn truth, he wasn't doing well at all.
Tightening her grip on his hand, Gwendolyn secretly made a promise to treat him better in the future.
Therefore, she said abruptly, “Don't tire yourself too much, Dear.”
She thought Patrick wouldn't hear her, but he did. As the man glanced toward her, his lips curled into a
smile.
It was obvious that he heard her words. Gwendolyn's face blushed red as she tried to retract her
hands, but he wouldn't let her go. After hanging up, he smiled at her and said, “Say it again. I love
hearing you call me that.”
Gwendolyn wrinkled her nose and shook her head.
“Stop messing around and get to the office now! I'm going home to see my three little sweethearts.”
The two were headed in different directions. Having left so hastily this time, Patrick would be busy as
he had many things to attend to in the company.
“Gwen, when are you going to arrange a spot for me, the Big Sweetie?”
Gwendolyn chuckled upon hearing his words. “Big Sweetie?”
She then laughed loudly. Sounds pretty good. I'll just call him that. I like that it's so special. Maybe this
will be an affectionate nickname between the both of us!
Patrick raised his eyebrows and said, “I'd like to become your Big Sweetie.”
