Chapter 705 Taking Care Of Patrick
Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn burst into laughter and leaned on Lucy's shoulder, nearly toppling over. I
didn't realize Patrick was this humorous before. Even though Lucas is exhausted from tilling the soil,
he's not spared from being humiliated by his friend.
Lucy cackled, too.
The men at the side gazed deeply at the woman they loved.
Bathed in sunlight, the women looked stunning as they laughed together, creating a dazzling sight.
Meanwhile, Justin and Julian observed the scene from the second-floor balcony.
“Do you think he knows we're his children, Justin?” the latter questioned. It's been a few hours. He
should know by now.
Justin narrowed his eyes at their father. “He definitely knows. Why else would he have shown up here?
I bet he overheard our phone call with Mommy.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Will he acknowledge us as his children?” Julian asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
Even Justin found his usual confidence waning. “I don't know.”
Their father had been absent from their lives since birth, and Patrick was a tough guy to figure out.
Hence, they couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Once Gwendolyn married Zayden, the children could perceive from the expressions in the adults' eyes
that a romantic relationship with Patrick was out of the question.
As a result, Justin remained unsure if Patrick would acknowledge them as his children.
Sighing, Julian remarked, “I quite like him.”
It was then Melanie and Juliette approached them.
Upon hearing Julian's words, Juliette giggled. “I like him, too.”
Melanie pointed at Lucas. “I like him. He's handsome, and he buys me lollipops.”
After the women's laughter subsided downstairs, Lucas finished planting the vegetables.
He then approached Lucy, his aura carrying a masculine charm. “I've completed the mission, Honey.”
When he attempted to kiss her, however, she quickly shrank away.
“You stink. Go take a shower.”
Lucas pulled her close, preventing her from running away as he uttered, “Join me in the shower.
Otherwise, I'll be stinky for the whole day.”
Unable to deal with him, Lucy slapped his hand away. “Stop messing around. I have to keep our guests
company.”
Patrick chimed in at the right moment, saying, “No worries. I'll keep Ms. Ashton company.”
Lucy had feared Gwendolyn's meeting with Patrick would be a disaster, but it seemed that she was
merely overthinking. Since Mr. Lowen has spoken, I suppose I should give them space.
Despite being sweaty, Lucas hugged Lucy, causing her to glower at him with disdain.
“I'll count on you to tend to Mr. Lowen, Gwen. You're familiar with my house, anyway. I'll be back soon,”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucy said, as Lucas pulled her into the building.
Gwendolyn looked at Patrick and suggested, “Considering the heat outside, Mr. Lowen, why don't we
go indoors?”
Patrick stood up from the chair beneath the parasol and approached her with a cold expression. “Mm.”
Then, he sauntered into the building without saying another word.
A sigh escaped Gwendolyn's lips when she saw this. While I've been forcing myself to accept the
reality of things, it still hurts whenever I face him, especially when he treats me coldly. It pains me so,
so much.
Pursing her lips, she followed him.
Patrick plopped down on the couch in the living room just as Gwendolyn arrived beside him. “What
would you like to drink, Mr. Lowen?” she asked politely.
“What are my options?” Patrick inquired, feeling a craving for a cold beverage due to the heat outside.
Gwendolyn had no idea. “I'll go and check.”
“I'd prefer something cold.”
After scanning the fridge, she poured kiwi juice into two nice-looking cups and cut some fruits to
accompany the refreshing drink.
