Chapter 157

Patrick kissed the little girl on the cheek. “Thank you, Juliette!”

For some reason, from the moment he met her, he felt an indescribable closeness to her.

Despite not liking children in the first place, he found that he did not mind the three children and evenliked them a lot.

Is this what it feels like to extend your love for someone to the people close to them?

Patrick put Juliette down on the couch before asking Hector, “Grandpa, how are you feeling today?”

He noticed that the old man was in good spirits, and his condition was also improving, so he hoped thathis grandfather would speak to him one day.

Hector stared at him while making a silent remark.

You fool. Your wife and children are in front of you. Why don't you marry her so that they'll become yourlegitimate children?

Patrick raised an eyebrow. “Grandpa, Gwendolyn is my secretary, and these children are hers. Shouldyou miss the children in the future, I'll ask her to bring them along to accompany you.”

After he finished speaking, he leaned over to whisper into the old man's ear, “If you want me to father achild, it may not happen anytime soon. You'll have to wait a few more years, so I can only satisfy yourdesire by letting you interact with someone else's children.”

Then, he stood up, grinning devilishly.

There's no way I'll father a child with Felicia. At the most, I'll marry her to fulfill his wishes. He can'tblame me for not having children.

Hector slowly turned to glance at Gwendolyn before looking at his handsome grandson in front of him.

He wanted to speak or write out his thoughts, but the condition of his body did not allow him to do so,causing him to feel extremely frustrated.

Everyone had dinner happily, and Hector even ate a small portion of his food, which greatly delightedAlice.

While Gwendolyn was answering a call, the three children followed Alice as she pushed Hector out fora walk. Hence, Gwendolyn did not notice that she and Patrick were the only ones left at the table.

The call was from Lucy, and Gwendolyn could tell that something was not right from her tone.

“If you didn't manage to negotiate the price of the house, wait a little more. Don't be anxious about it,Luce.”

“Thank you, Gwen! Melanie's condition has deteriorated lately. I'm scared that she won't be able to waitfor the bone marrow, so I'm going to replace Mr. Gomez again and beg him.”

Gwendolyn's heart clenched in pain when she heard Lucy's sobs from the other end of the line.

“I'll help you think of a solution.”

She ended the call with tears brimming in her eyes, feeling upset upon thinking of Melanie.

It must be very hard for Lucy as well since she's alone.

Meanwhile, Patrick was scrutinizing her. Sensing a pair of eyes on her, Gwendolyn brushed off herthoughts.

“Oh? Where did they go?”

She truly did not hear them leaving.

His lips curled up in a smile. “They went for a walk. Are you done with your meal, Ms. Ashton?”

She nodded. “Yes.”

“Let's head upstairs. I've a job for you.”

Right after saying that, he rose to his feet and walked out.

Gwendolyn hurriedly stood up and followed him. After all, he was her boss, so she had to listen to him.

They went to the third floor. Patrick waited for her to enter his bedroom before closing the door andlocking it.

Upon hearing the click of the lock, Gwendolyn turned her head and looked at him.

“Mr. Lowen...”

She subconsciously glanced at the door and put her guard up.

Patrick pulled out his tie and began to unbutton his shirt.

Startled, she quickly backed away. “P-Patrick, what are you trying to do?”

He told me to go upstairs, and now he's removing his clothes. What exactly is he trying to do?Guessing his intention, she could not help but tremble in fear.

He chuckled deviously. “What do you think?”
