Patrick rolled his eyes at her and said, “There's no need for that.”

Holding the set of clothes, he then returned to his bedroom.

Liam stood at the door and watched him stride to the guest room. He then headed back into his room.

When Patrick came out of the room, he had put on the black suit with a white shirt and the knitted beigesweater from Gwendolyn.

Walking up to him, Liam stated, “Mr. Lowen, the Ashton family has arrived.”

If we head over now, people will surely criticize us for having no manners.

Those were the words Liam dared not say aloud and kept to himself.

Patrick did not respond and headed downstairs right away.

It was already half-past one in the afternoon when they arrived at Voyage Hotel.

After leaving the house, Patrick had picked a restaurant of his liking to have a meal at, as he wasunsure whether he would have an appetite in the afternoon.

A group of people followed him and dared not say much. It was only after Patrick finished eating anddrinking to his heart's content that they headed to Voyage Hotel.

When he stepped into the banquet hall, many eyes were on him, including those of the housekeepers

from the Ashton family and the waiters at the hotel. His charming features and cold demeanor hadcaught their attention.

A few housekeepers from the Ashton family whispered, “Mr. Lowen is so handsome!”

“You're right! Ms. Gwendolyn is very lucky.”

Felicia, who sat in the lounge, panicked when Patrick had not arrived after a long time and constantlyasked someone to look for him.

Just then, Felicia's housekeeper, Sarah, dashed back to the lounge.

“Ms. Felicia, Mr. Lowen is here. He looks so handsome!” Sarah exclaimed while covering her mouthwith her hands exaggeratedly.

Shooting her a cold glare, Felicia snapped back at her, “Stop fangirling over him. He's mine.”

Nodding vigorously, Sarah replied, “Yes, yes. He's yours, Ms. Felicia.”

Felicia rose to her feet and wanted to look for Patrick as she thought she should be by his side duringsuch an occasion.

She was wearing a bright red evening gown, giving off the vibe of the lady of the house.

Lifting her gown, she stood up when Candace called out, “Fel, where are you going?”

Apparently, Felicia was not supposed to leave now, as the bride should only show up last to surprise

everyone.

Pouting her lips, Felicia said, “Mom, I want to go and see Patrick. Since he did not try on the suit thatday, I'm afraid it might not fit him.”

I have trimmed many parts of the suit that needed modification anyway.

Candace laughed and said, “Fel, can't you tell with that body proportion of his? He is like a model whocan pull off anything he wears.”

Felicia pondered for a moment and agreed.

Glancing at her body, she noticed she had gained some weight lately, as she couldn't control hercraving for food, despite trying hard to lose weight.

Fortunately, she could still fit into the evening gown. Otherwise, she would genuinely regret what shedid.

In the afternoon, Zayden had someone send the evening gown to Gwendolyn's place. When the threechildren saw the box in her hands, Juliette asked, “Gwen, what is that?”

Shaking her head, Gwendolyn replied, “I don't know either. It's from Zayden.”

Juliette's eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, “It must be good stuff. He probably bought me a Barbie doll!”

Having figured out what was in the box, Julian and Justin raised their bows and smiled. Mommy is sodumb. Of course, it's matching clothes since she promised to be his female companion.

After returning to the living room, Juliette urged, “Gwen, hurry up and open it.”

Flashing her a smile, Gwendolyn said, “All right! Don't be so excited.”

At that moment, she received a phone call from Zayden, and so she answered the call first.

“Gwen, does the evening gown fit? Remember to do your makeup.”

Zayden planned to show everyone that night that Gwendolyn was his woman.

At the thought of announcing the news during Patrick's engagement party, he thought things weregetting more interesting.

Although the two most influential families in Avenport seemed to get along well with each other in theeyes of others, they were competing with each other secretly. This time, the marriage of convenience ofthe Lowen family caused an uproar.
