Gwendolyn had to swallow some saliva so that she would feel better. Just as Patrick's lips were about
to touch hers, she panickily pushed him away. “Go and wash up now, Patrick. I'll use the restroom
outside.”
The house she lived in was an old-fashioned one, so there was a restroom outside that she could use
to wash her face.
Patrick licked his lips disappointingly. It's a shame I can't get a kiss, but I'm fine with looking at her
blushing face.
He then walked into the bathroom without delay.
After she cleaned herself, she returned to the bedroom and saw he was already sleeping on the floor.
He must be really tired.
The next day, the two adults woke up at nine in the morning.
“Ah!” she exclaimed when she saw the time before turning to look at the man sleeping on the floor.
He was woken up by her shouting and pressed his palm to his forehead. “What time is it?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSix in the morning was usually the time he woke up, so he was a little surprised to see sunlight already
pouring through the window.
“It's already nine o'clock, Mr. Lowen. We're going to be late!”
“It's fine. I won't deduct your pay.” Patrick sat up slowly.
Juliette sat up, stared at him with her big, round eyes, and smiled. “You were sleeping with us, Mr.
Handsome!”
When she smiled brightly, two dimples could be seen on her cheeks.
He smiled and greeted, “Morning, Juliette!”
His magnetic voice was pleasant to the ear in the morning.
Juliette pouted. “Your voice feels nice to listen to, Mr. Handsome. I had a dream last night. My daddy-”
She quickly covered her mouth and glanced at Gwendolyn when she said that. I almost said it out loud.
I hope Mommy didn't hear it!
Her brothers told her to never mention their father in front of Gwendolyn.
Gwendolyn did hear it, and she knew her children didn't want to mention it in front of her because they
didn't want her to be upset.
She got off the bed and exited the room.
Patrick could tell she was doing it on purpose. “You dreamed about your daddy?”
Juliette nodded. “That's right! He looked exactly like you, and he even hugged me! He hugged me with
only one arm, so he must be really strong.”
She had never experienced that before, so just talking about it made her feel all nice and warm.
He patted her head with his slim fingers. “Good girl!”
The girl lay on the bed and watched the two adults enter and exit the bathroom before dressing up.
The house was just going to be occupied by Camille and her again once Gwendolyn and Patrick left for
work.
Gwendolyn spoke as she wrapped a scarf around her daughter. “We'll take you to the hospital at noon
later so that you can get your injection.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I don't want to get an injection! The needle hurts!” Juliette grumbled.
Gwendolyn wasn't going to argue about it with her since the injection must be done anyway.
She then walked out of the bedroom with Patrick and descended the stairs. Since the staircase was
quite narrow, one had to walk in front while the other at the back.
Camille thought they looked like a couple preparing to head to work. “Have some breakfast before you
leave, Mr. Lowen, Gwen.”
Gwendolyn also hoped Patrick would eat breakfast before leaving since it was her fault that he woke up
late.
He raised his left hand and glanced at his expensive watch. “I'm afraid I can't. There's a meeting at
half-past ten that I need to attend.”
It was already a quarter past nine, and there would undoubtedly be traffic on the way. So, if he set off
right away, he would still make it to the meeting on time.
Since his car wasn't around, she took out her keys and drove the small car he didn't want to the
company.
He sat in the passenger seat while she drove all the way to the company.
Looking at his phone, he noticed he had a lot of missed calls. So, he called Liam.
“You finally picked up the phone. Something big happened. Did you see the news?”
