Chapter 229
The lady experienced embarrassment due to a person of the opposite gender for the first time in her life. She wanted to distance herself from the man.
However, Patrick did not allow her to do so. He held on to her narrow waist. Faint amusement flickered in his deep-set eyes.
“Was Zayden the one who sent you this set of clothes?” he murmured.
It suited her and accentuated her figure perfectly. She was so pretty that she captivated many.
Gwendolyn knew that she was not as strong as him and that it was impossible to fight with him.
Thus, she no longer struggled pointlessly and nodded.
“Yes. I was going to be his female partner yesterday night and attend the event with him.”
Yet, she had to go to work. She wanted to apologize to Zayden. I'll treat him to a meal soon!
It was as if she could cast Zayden aside at the mention of money.
Luckily, Zayden was already used to it. Otherwise, he would not be friends with her.
Patrick went into a daze after she finished speaking. He was a little angry, so he leaned forward and bit her lips.
Gwendolyn was hurt by his bite. She furrowed her brows and glanced at him.
“Mr. Lowen, what are you doing?”
His action was a little overboard and too intimate, but it was also a little mischievous.
“You're not allowed to think of other men when you are with me.”
The duo stared at each other. Patrick's handsome face was merely an inch away from hers. His stern expression caused her heart to skip a beat.
That man had a sort of power to make people believe and be subdued by him.
She could not help but laugh. “Mr. Lowen, it must be tiring to be your girlfriend. You have too many demands.”
“No. You'll be very blissful if you are my girlfriend, as I'm very capable in bed.”
Mature adults understood the meaning behind his words.
Even the foolish Gwendolyn understood his words. Her face turned red. What does that have to do with me? Men sure love to boast.
However, when she thought of a certain body part of his, she recalled that it was frighteningly huge. She imagined that it would not be comfortable doing it with him.
Gwendolyn was at a loss for words.
She did not understand why she went off-topic because of him. Her face flushed even redder as she straightened herself and staggered back.
As she stumbled, she landed on the floor. Patrick frowned mildly at that.
“Why are you behaving like a child? Come back here.”
Is it not comfortable to sit on my laps? Their amicable conversation made him feel better.
As he thought of the small couch that he had slept on the night before, he felt very uncomfortable.
The only thing that consoled him was that he could see her once he woke up. Also, he was able to hug her in his arms.
Gwendolyn shook her head. “Mr. Lowen, I'll go and buy breakfast. You should rest for a while more.”
Her two sons were already awake. They sat up and called out to her.
“Mommy!”
Gwendolyn glanced at Patrick and walked to the bedside. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“You're awake? It's still early. Both of you can sleep for a while more.”
Justin was already putting on his clothes while Julian still wanted to laze around in bed.
“Mommy, I'll go and buy breakfast with you.”
Gwendolyn chuckled. Justin always behaves like an adult. No matter what happens, he will be by my side.
She did not reject him as she could tell that he had something to say to her.
The night before, Liam had bought new clothes for her. She went to the bathroom and changed her clothes before leaving the patient ward with Justin.
Patrick crossed his legs as he sat on the couch. As he stared at the duo's retreating figures, he raised a finger and touched his nose lightly.
If I wish to get Gwendolyn, I have to first capture the hearts of her two sons.
He then grabbed his phone and tried to search the internet to find out what five-year-old boys liked.
He reckoned it was the most effective method.
In the business world, he had never used that tactic. Unexpectedly, he had to do so to try and capture a woman's heart.
When Gwendolyn and Justin walked out of the room, the little boy glanced at the nurse's counter.
“Mommy, let's go and pay the hospital fees.”
When Gwendolyn heard that, her face darkened.
The medical fees in that particular hospital were sky-high. She was truly penniless.
