Chapter 279
When Gwendolyn awoke the next morning and checked her phone, she noticed Patrick had sent her a WhatsApp message ten minutes ago.
It read: Gwen, let's go to the office together. I'll wait for you at home.
After reading that, she smiled faintly and typed a reply: I'll be there in ten minutes. You're the best, Mr. Lowen!
Once she sent the message, she swiftly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. Sleeping in such a large bed is, as expected, extremely comfortable. I haven't slept so well in ages.
She beamed when she saw how spacious the bathroom was, with not only a shower but also a large bathtub. We finally have a place to call home.
The three children were already up and playing in the living room by the time she came downstairs. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Juliette was practicing the piano, whereas her two sons were fiddling busily with their computers.
“Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you three. Remember to go for a walk after you've finished studying,” she advised.
Hearing that, Juliette turned around and grinned.
“How did I do on the piano, Mommy?”
What a wonderful start to the day! As soon as I wake up, I can hear my daughter playing the piano.
Thinking of that, Gwendolyn gave her daughter a thumbs up. “You did fantastically.”
Just as she was heading toward the door, Justin stopped her and uttered, “Mommy, eat your breakfast before going to work.”
Camille was already in the kitchen preparing breakfast, and she also told the children that skipping breakfast was bad for their health.
Looking at the time, Gwendolyn answered, “I'll eat in the office. I woke up too late this morning. See you tonight, sweethearts!”
With that said, she hurriedly walked out the door. After all, she promised to be there in ten minutes, yet it had already been more than twenty minutes. Hence, she did not know if Patrick was still waiting for her.
If he'd left, she could only drive to the office by herself.
The house was not conveniently located near the railway station. Even though there was a bus stop nearby, the bus only came once every half hour and hailing a taxi was even more difficult.
She rushed to Patrick's house and unlocked the door with her fingerprint.
Poking her tiny head into the house, she called out, “Patrick... Patrick, are you here?”
Shortly afterward, the man emerged from the room. A smile spread across his face the moment he saw her.
“Come in.”
What is she doing?
Gwendolyn quickly entered the house and flashed him a bright smile.
“I said ten minutes, but it took me much longer, so I assumed you had left.”
Listening to that, Patrick stretched out his hands. He had not gotten much sleep the night before because his mind was preoccupied with this woman in front of him, reminiscing about her snow-white
skin and soft body.
It was all her fault that he could not sleep well and had dark circles under his eyes. Now that he saw her, he immediately wanted a hug.
Gwendolyn ran up to him and threw herself into his embrace.
It feels so good to be in his arms!
The couple embraced for a long time. Meanwhile, the two people standing next to the car had already opened the car door for them, but upon seeing this scene, they silently returned to their seats in the vehicle.
Liam, in particular, yearned to fall in love after witnessing such affection.
All of a sudden, he turned to face the chauffeur and inquired, “Larry, do you have a girlfriend?”
Larry responded with a shake of his head. He was Patrick's chauffeur and was on call twenty-four hours a day, so he did not have time to look for a girlfriend.
Rubbing his temples, Liam uttered, “How pathetic. We singles can only watch as they express their love for one another.”
Initially, Gwendolyn was full of smiles, but when she noticed the car door was open and caught a glimpse of the figures inside, she swiftly nudged Patrick.
“We're going to be late. Let's get moving!”
The man retracted his arms, cast a stern look down at her, and declared coldly, “If you don't come to accompany me tonight, I'll go over to your house to look for you.”
He did not mind climbing through the window to get into her house. No matter what, he did not want to toss and turn in bed again like he had done the night before. His entire body ached just from thinking about her alone.
Perhaps it was because he had not touched a woman in a long time, but taking a cold shower no longer had any effect. Therefore, he had been aroused all night, which was highly uncomfortable.
In an instant, Gwendolyn's face flushed, and she shook her head.
“No! The boys have yet to accept you.”
He should be able to pick up on this. Why is he making things difficult for me?
“Fine. Then, I'll scale the wall to get to your house.”
