Alice furrowed her brows. It was half-past six on Sunday, and Patrick was still working.
“Pat, are you not going home for dinner?”
“That's right, Grandma. I'm quite busy with work recently. I can't go back anytime soon.”
“Okay then. I'll let Gwen know you're not coming back. We'll eat first.”
Just as Alice was about to hang up, Patrick stopped her.
“Grandma, who did you just mention?”
Alice grinned at how she elicited a response just by mentioning Gwendolyn's name.
He was not interested in an old lady like his grandma, but he was clearly interested in a pretty young
lady.
“I invited Gwen and her three darlings over for dinner tonight. We'll eat first if you aren't coming back.”
“I'm finished with work, so I'm coming back now.”
Alice chuckled after hanging up the phone.
She could not help but look into the living room again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJustin and Julian truly look like Pat, and Pat would be glad if the triplets were his children.
With that, she let out a sigh.
Gwendolyn brought Juliette back into the living room. “Juliette, sit here and eat your food. Stop running
around.”
The Lowen residence was massive, and she was afraid that Juliette would lose her way.
Her youngest was a crybaby, and once the latter started, it would take a long time to stop.
She kept a close eye on Juliette, as it would not be polite if a guest kept crying.
“Justin, Julian, help look after your sister. Don't let her wander off.”
The two boys responded brightly, “All right, Mommy!”
It was only then that Gwendolyn sat down and sipped her water.
At that moment, they heard a loud sound from Hector's room. Soon after, a housekeeper ran out
hurriedly.
Gwendolyn got up and entered the bedroom with the three children following her.
Hector had thrown everything on the bedside table to the floor. Upon seeing this, Juliette moved a few
steps back timidly.
Gwendolyn quickly rushed over. “Old Mr. Lowen, what's wrong? Are you feeling discomfort
somewhere?”
Hector halted his moves upon seeing the woman before him. He looked at her quietly, gazed at the
three children behind her, and smiled affectionately.
Juliette walked over and extended her chubby hand.
“Old Mr. Handsome, have a candy. You'll be happy after eating it. It's not good to be angry.”
Juliette opened the candy wrapper and put the candy into Hector's mouth. After tasting it, Hector's
smile widened as if he was trying to tell her it was sweet.
Juliette helped him voice his thoughts, “Isn't it sweet? You should feel better now. Let's not be angry
anymore.”
Justin and Julian picked up the medicine container on the floor, placed it on the table, and then helped
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhim tidy up his hair.
Julian also helped him straighten his collar. “A shirt will only look good if it's neat.”
The three children were very adult-like and dispensed advice while taking care of him.
He listened to them attentively while tasting the candy in his mouth, and he was no longer upset.
The housekeeper and nurses were all astounded by the sight before them.
“Old Mr. Lower is no longer angry. He's even smiling,” whispered one of them.
“That's right. I've looked after him for such a long time, but this is the first time I've seen him smile!”
Alice hurried into the room and saw the three children surrounding Hector, and the latter seemed to be
in a good mood.
At the same time, Gwendolyn was giving Hector a massage. Alice then heaved a sigh of relief.
“Didn't you guys say that Hector was upset? That doesn't seem to be the case! You guys frightened
me.”
The housekeeper was also confused. “Old Mr. Lowen was indeed upset just now. He kept throwing
things. However, he seems to be fine now.”
Alice chuckled. “It seems that Hector's met his match.”
