It was the first time she saw uncertainty in the depths of his eyes, and she could not believe what she
was seeing.
Being such a powerful person, Patrick could get anything he wanted in the world.
Therefore, Gwendolyn could not understand Patrick's reaction. Gwendolyn wondered if Patrick was
afraid that she would leave him.
The thought of that suddenly pained her heart, and she threw herself into his embrace and hugged him
tightly.
Although she did not know a few things about his past, for instance, why his parents were never
around, she wanted to tell him that she would never leave him. She wanted him to know that she would
be with him for the rest of her life as long as he wanted her.
Patrick closed his eyes and held her tightly as he said in a low voice, “You're stuck with me forever,
Gwen. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave me.”
The two of them hugged each other tightly as if to signify their commitment and pledge to each other.
Patrick held Gwendolyn in his embrace until the group of youngsters left before they continued walking
toward the small town.
The breeze by the lake was chilly, but they felt warmth in their hearts.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter walking for half an hour, they arrived at their hotel. Patrick then approached the front desk to
collect the keycard and headed to the lake view room together with Gwendolyn.
After they entered the room, Gwendolyn darted straight to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Upon seeing the
view of the lake outside the room, Gwendolyn beamed like a cheerful child.
“Patrick, it's beautiful here!”
Patrick changed into indoor slippers and held another pair in his hands as he walked toward the floor-
to-ceiling windows.
“Change into these.”
She had been walking for such a long time in her heels. Her legs must be sore. She should feel much
more comfortable in slippers.
Gwendolyn reached out to hold on to Patrick's hand as she removed her heels and put on the indoor
slippers.
“It's really beautiful here, Patrick. I've never been here before. Let's bring Juliette and the rest next
time.”
She had never taken the triplets on a vacation before.
They could never afford any vacations before this, but now, Gwendolyn resolved to compensate them
for the vacations that they had missed.
Patrick raised his head and looked ahead at the lake. “Sure!”
Patrick was thinking about having a baby of their own after they were married.
“All right!”
Patrick glanced at the time and said, “It's late. Go take a shower, then go to bed earlier.”
Just then, Gwendolyn came back to her senses and stole a glance at Patrick.
Gwendolyn wondered what would happen next. She was looking forward to it, but she was also
anxious.
Although she had given birth before, she had no experience in that matter and was worried that she
could not perform well enough.
While that was what she thought, she did not know how to convey it.
As she ducked under Patrick's arm, Gwendolyn pointed outside.
“I'm going to take a shower.”
Then, she scurried to the master bedroom. Patrick turned to watch her close the door. He smiled
slightly and went to the other room to take his shower.
In the Star Mansion, Justin and Julian sat on their own little beds.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJustin folded his arms across his chest and narrowed his dark and clear eyes.
“Julian, do you think Mommy turned her phone off on purpose?”
Surely, Mommy's with Patrick and was afraid that we were going to make her come home. Mommy's
changed. She's really different now. She's getting more and more brazen.
Julian chuckled. “Justin, I think Patrick told Mommy to do it.”
In their eyes, Gwendolyn would never turn her phone off and ignore their phone calls. Therefore, they
reckoned that it had to be Patrick's doing.
The more they thought about it, the madder they became. Then, their eyes met.
They then huddled together closely. “Let's hack into his phone and give him a warning. How about
that?”
After his shower, Patrick changed into his pajamas and picked up his phone.
At once, he realized there was something amiss with his phone. He swiped his phone with his finger
frantically in an attempt to remove the hacker.
At the final step, all Patrick had to do was tap on the screen once, and his phone would return to
normal.
However, before he could do so, a video of Justin and Julian was played on his phone screen.
“Patrick, if you can get to this part, then you deserve to watch this video.” A voice could be heard.
