Patrick glanced at his cup of coffee, then he picked it up and grinned slightly.
A faint smirk flashed across his handsome face. He leaned closer to Gwendolyn and whispered in her
ear, “Gwen, wait for me after you get off from work. Let's have a date!”
Gwendolyn's eyes were filled with happiness after she heard his words. She had fantasized about a
date with her beloved before.
Finally, she could experience what it felt like. Gwendolyn nodded at Patrick smilingly.
Then, she walked into the office, while Patrick walked out of the office.
Gwendolyn placed the cups in front of the two women. “Old Mrs. Lowen, Ms. Chavez, please have
some coffee.”
When Alice noticed that Gwendolyn was about to leave, she called her out.
“Gwen, have a seat. I've bought some strawberry cake for you. I know that it's your favorite food. Also,
I've ordered extra so you can bring it back for Juliette and the other children.”
Gwendolyn glanced at the two boxes on the coffee table. Indeed, there were a lot of desserts in there.
Thus, she beamed and thanked her. “Thank you, Old Mrs. Lowen. Juliette and the rest of my children
will be overjoyed to receive these.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon thinking of the three adorable kids, Alice missed them very much, especially the two sons of
Gwendolyn who closely resembled Patrick.
It was not an overstatement to say that the two boys were Patrick's doppelgängers. If Pat had a son,
his son would probably look like the boys.
The more Alice thought about them, the more she wanted to meet them.
“Gwen, the kids aren't attending school recently, right? There are only a few days until the New Year.
Why don't you bring them to our house to celebrate it together?”
If the children and Gwendolyn come over during the festival, the atmosphere at home would be livelier.
It had been many years since the Lowen residence was filled with liveliness. As Alice was getting old,
she especially liked the festive atmosphere.
After listening to Alice's words, Gwendolyn hesitated. Truthfully, she wished to celebrate the New Year
with Patrick, and her urge and anticipation intensified after she heard Alice's suggestion.
“Old Mrs. Lowen, would that be okay?”
Although the three children and Gwendolyn celebrated the New Year annually, she thought that the
atmosphere would be more joyous if they could celebrate the festival with the Lowen family.
Grinning, Alice said, “Only Pat, Hector, and I live in the house. If your family comes over, we will be
glad to have you.”
Rosalie, who was listening to their conversation at the side, was envious. How I wish I could celebrate
the New Year with the Lowen family.
Anyway, she would force Kevin to bring her to the Lowen residence when that time came because she
wanted to celebrate the festival with Patrick.
Nodding, Gwendolyn agreed, “Okay, I'll bring my children over and pay you a visit on New Year's Day
then.”
Meanwhile, Rosalie took a sip of the coffee. She felt that its taste was good. Over the years, she had
always spent time with Alice and tried to share similar interests with Alice.
Therefore, she understood Alice well.
This coffee is great. As expected, everything owned by Lowen Group is excellent.
Then, Alice opened the box containing the strawberry cake. “Gwen, the coffee would go well with the
cake.”
Of course, Gwendolyn would not reject Alice's act of kindness, so she took a spoon and fed some cake

“Here, Old Mrs. Lowen!”
Alice opened her mouth and ate the cake. After that, Gwendolyn also took a bite of the cake.
Frowning, Rosalie was deep in thought. Gwendolyn really knows how to please Old Mrs. Lowen,
doesn't she? I can't believe she's so close with Old Mrs. Lowen. I have to think of a plan to sour their
relationship. Otherwise, I won't stand a chance to be with Pat. I have to make sure that their impression
of Gwendolyn is ruined. Subsequently, I'll ask Old Mrs. Lowen for help. Then, I'll have a chance to be
with Pat.
As Rosalie thought that she had everything under control, she remained calm while facing Gwendolyn.
She behaved as if everything was fine.
On the outside, she seemed to have approved of Gwendolyn's relationship with Patrick.
After a while, the Lowen family called Alice and informed the latter that Hector was throwing a tantrum
and no one could placate him. Therefore, they could only ask Alice for help, hoping that the latter could
go home and calm Hector down.
Gwendolyn stood up and sent Alice and Rosalie to the entrance of the elevator.
Alice sighed. “Whenever the New Year arrives, Hector would always be in a bad mood. I'll have to go
back and accompany him now. Gwen, remember to bring your children over to my place on New Year's
Day. That will make him happy!”
