Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 234

Patrick opened his eyes, and with a corner of his lips slightly pursed, he asked, “Gwendolyn, it's your rest day today. What makes you think of treating me to a meal? Actually, I prefer your cooking.”

Although her cooking was not that good, he still liked it for some reason.

Gwendolyn focused on massaging his head, and she felt like she was in an altered spiritual state.

In the past, she was hostile to Patrick because he was Felicia's boyfriend. However, she now treated him as her friend.

To her, he was a very special friend.

“Mr. Lowen, I must thank you for last night. In the future, I will make you dinner every night and tidy up your room based on your meeting schedule.”

Lately, she had been slipping away sneakily or deliberately avoiding him.

That was because she did not quite want to admit that he was the reason why she got into debt last time. Now, she was willing to splurge on him.

Patrick raised his eyebrows and said, “No problem. Just treat me nicer next time.”

After massaging for a while, she withdrew her hands. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Somehow, Patrick actually felt reluctant for her to stop, as it was very comfortable when her soft hands pressed on his head.

Gwendolyn opened the lunchboxes and laid out the dishes.

“Let's eat, Mr. Lowen!”

She glanced at the time. It was already forty-five minutes past noon. Usually, she would arrange for his lunch to be at twelve-thirty.

Nonetheless, being late by fifteen minutes today did not really matter.

Patrick had a poor appetite due to his irregular mealtimes. He would skip meals when he got swamped.

Furthermore, he needed to drink black coffee every day. As such, she would always add some milk to his coffee.

Patrick got up and sat on the couch.

Gwendolyn sat on the carpet in front of him. This was her usual favorite sitting spot.

“Mr. Lowen, what do you think of these dishes?”

Patrick looked at the dishes on the table. There were three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup.

This was one of the most generous she had been when she treated him. A slight smile lit up his face.

“Gwendolyn, thank you for the expensive treat.”

These were the top dishes at Platinum Plate, so they were more expensive.

Gwendolyn bit on her fork and smiled.

“As long as you like it, Mr. Lowen!”

Both of them thus sat across each other and dug in. Occasionally, Gwendolyn would help Patrick put some food into his lunchbox before lowering her head to continue eating.

Looking at the food in his lunchbox, Patrick put it into his mouth and indulged in its taste.

He found that eating with her really improved his appetite. After the meal, he lit up a cigarette.

He slowly took a puff while fixing his gaze on her. She was still taking small bites.

Suddenly, at that moment, his office door was pushed open, and Felicia walked in.

As she was walking more hurriedly, her high heels made a loud clicking sound when they hit the floor.

Both of them looked up at her, with Gwendolyn turning her head.

Felicia's face changed when she saw Gwendolyn.

Standing in front of Patrick, she said, “Patrick, I want to talk to you.”

She was deeply affected by the incident last night and had been waiting for him. However, he did not look for her, so she decided to find him on her own.

“Gwendolyn, please leave.”

Gwendolyn got up abruptly. It was not because she was willing to obey Felicia's command but because she knew Patrick and Felicia needed to talk.

The cancelation of the engagement ceremony between them, with the Lowen family and the Ashton family present, had gotten onto headlines in today's entertainment news. This incident had become a big sensation and stirred up much commotion.

While Lowen Group was relatively unscathed from this, Ashton Corporation suffered a huge drop in its market shares, and the latter's financial situation looked grim.

Gwendolyn packed up the lunchboxes and walked straight out of the office.

With the two of them left alone in the office, Felicia pursed her lips, sat next to Patrick, and wrapped her hands around his arm.

“Patrick, why did you cancel the engagement last night? Didn't we sign the prenuptial agreement? I will be obedient and not tell anyone!”

She did not come to demand an explanation. Instead, she came to assure him to continue keeping her as his girlfriend and carrying on with the engagement.

Patrick was rather taken aback. “Your family must have blamed you after the engagement was canceled. Don't you hate me?”
