When Gwendolyn returned to the office, she realized Patrick was nowhere to be seen.
He had not been in his office for the whole day. Thus, Gwendolyn did not have much work to do. She
answered a few calls, all of which were directed from the mainline. Everyone that called had said that
they had important matters to discuss with Patrick and wanted to make an appointment to meet him.
That was what Gwendolyn would do on a daily basis. Sometimes she had to follow Patrick around
while he did the inspections outdoor.
Gwendolyn would have to prepare drinks, an umbrella, and sunglasses for Patrick.
To her, Patrick was living a comfortable life. Other people prepared everything that he needed. He
seemed like a big baby, enjoying being served by others.
However, it was strange that he did not bring her along today.
Maybe he knows that I'm not feeling well because of my allergy reaction. As Gwendolyn thought about
Patrick's concern toward her, a smile could be seen on her face.
When it was time to get off work, Patrick had not returned to the office yet.
Gwendolyn got ready to leave the office and pick up her children from school.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTaking out her phone, she sent Patrick a message.
Gwendolyn texted: Mr. Lowen, I'm going home now. Do you need me to prepare your dinner?
She did not need to cook dinner for Patrick if he needed to attend business dinners at night.
It took a while before he replied to Gwendolyn.
Patrick sent: No need. I have a business dinner tonight.
Gwendolyn smiled in satisfaction after reading his text. Then her fingers moved swiftly across the
screen as she typed: Don't drink too much, Mr. Lowen. Go home early!
She felt that there were no other secretaries like her who constantly looked out for their bosses.
Without waiting for Patrick's reply, Gwendolyn took her bag and left the office happily. She headed
toward the kindergarten where her triplets were at.
The school session was coincidentally over by the time Gwendolyn arrived at the kindergarten. She
had enrolled all three of her children in the extra classes. Thus, it was almost seven o'clock in the
evening when it was time for them to go home.
Gwendolyn was in line with other parents. All the teachers knew who she was because of her triplets.
They were all in the same class, no less.
The teacher called the names of the three children. Juliette was the first one who ran over to
Gwendolyn.
“Gwen, you're here to pick us up today!” Juliette exclaimed as she saw her mother.
She was holding on to a handmade necklace in her tiny hands. “Look! This is what we made in the
extra class today. I made this for you.”
After speaking to their teacher, Gwendolyn walked with her three children to the car.
“Gwen, I made this necklace myself. You must wear it all the time, okay?” Juliette said excitedly.
Gwendolyn frowned when she looked at the necklace with three colored beads on her neck, yet she did
not have the heart to reject her daughter after seeing Juliette's excitement.
“Okay. I'll wear it all the time,” Gwendolyn promised.
On the other side, Justin and Julian were holding on to their artwork as well. Juliette turned to look at
them and asked, “Justin, Julian, didn't both of you make bracelets for Gwen too? Let her wear them!”
Juliette was a naïve and cute child, whereas Justin and Julian were more mature for their age. They felt
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat their artwork could only be used for decoration.
People will laugh at Mommy if she wears the bracelets that we made.
Gwendolyn noticed that her two sons were strolling behind her. She turned toward them and reached
out her hand. “Put on the bracelets for me, please.”
As their mother, Gwendolyn needed to match their innocence, especially since her sons were a bit
prideful.
Justin glanced at his brother, and Julian smiled while saying, “Mommy, we're not children anymore.
We're not going to play with these.”
With that, he gave the bracelet that he was holding to Gwendolyn. Justin mirrored his brother's
movement. He looked away and awkwardly gave her the bracelet.
Seeing the colors of the bracelets, Gwendolyn could not help but laugh. Justin made a black color
bracelet while Julian's was gray.
“It's hard on you both to attend classes with Juliette,” she said to her sons.
Justin and Julian were brilliant kids and could learn independently. They had finished learning
elementary school lessons. However, because of their mischievous sister, Juliette, the boys were
forced to attend kindergarten with her.
