Chapter 296
Gwendolyn remembered she never cared about her image while she was eating with Patrick back then. She would deliberately destroy her image by gobbling up the food just to make Patrick dislike her.
That time, she never thought she would become Patrick's girlfriend one day.
Gwendolyn was embarrassed with that memory.
Patrick put another big piece of mutton with bone on her plate.
“Eat it before it gets cold.”
Then, he cut the mutton gracefully with a knife and fork and fed it into his mouth. He looked great while he was eating.
Gwendolyn found it unfair. She did not understand why she had to use her hands to eat the mutton while Patrick could use a knife and fork.
She wanted to retort, but she knew Patrick would not give her a chance to do so.
Pursing her lips in dissatisfaction, she did not want to care about her image anymore since she had already lost her image. It was a slice of wild goat meat, and the taste was definitely better than what she usually ate.
Gwendolyn held it by the bone and started to savor the mutton with her hands.
After taking one bite, she remarked in excitement, “It's delicious! It tastes so nice! The mutton is fresh.”
This mutton was indeed different from the mutton she usually ate, so she ate it happily.
Looking at the way Gwendolyn chewed the lamb shank, Patrick, who sat opposite of her, laughed happily.
He loved to watch her eat because the sight of her eating increased his appetite.
Meanwhile, Rebecca sat at the table not far from them, facing Gwendolyn. She took a glance at Gwendolyn, and she thought the latter was pretty, but the way she ate was not very elegant.
How can such a woman be compared to my daughter?
Rebecca placed some food on Rosalie's plate and said, “Don't be sad, Rosalie. Do eat more. Patrick's current girlfriend should not be able to marry into the Lowen family.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
After all, the Lowen family was the most influential family in Avenport. The Chavez family was second to them.
The Lowen family's requirements in choosing a daughter-in-law were high, and they would not simply marry anyone.
Rosalie heaved a sigh. “Mom, you have no idea. Old Mrs. Lowen brought Gwendolyn to the gathering last time. The Lowen family had already acknowledged her.”
Rebecca's eyes widened slightly. A second wife like her was not qualified to attend the socialite gathering.
She looked at Gwendolyn again. She never thought Gwendolyn had clever tricks.
Rebecca's hatred grew when she thought that she had never attended the socialite gathering, and she hated Gwendolyn even more.
“Rosalie, you can tell your grandmother about your marriage with Patrick. You are the only girl in the family, and your grandmother loves you. She will help you if you tell her.”
This was the only way Rebecca could think of. Although she was married to the Chavez family, she did not have the right to speak and also the capability to help her daughter.
Rosalie pursed her lip and took a sip of the wine.
“Mom, you know about Grandma's temper too. She says the elders will not interfere with the youngsters' affairs. Besides, she doesn't want me to marry into the family she's close with. She's afraid that the elders' relationship will be affected if the marriage doesn't go well in the future.”
Rosalie would have been together with Patrick if Linda supported her. By then, Gwendolyn would be nothing.
Rosalie was determined to not give up since she had loved Patrick for many years.
Gwendolyn was full after chewing half of the lamb shank. She took off the gloves and wiped her hands with a wet tissue.
“I'm done eating.”
However, Patrick poured a bowl of soup for her. “Try this wild mushroom soup.”
The soup was good and nutritious for women. Patrick purposely ordered it for Gwendolyn. Besides, the soup was added with mild medicinal herbs.
Gwendolyn did not reject him, and she drank the soup with a small spoon. However, she could not hold back her question anymore.
“Patrick, will you have a marriage of convenience with Rosalie?”
After all, the Lowen family and the Chavez family were close to one another. In addition, Gwendolyn had a feeling the marriage would happen because Patrick was close with Kevin.
Patrick and Rosalie are a match made in heaven.
