Chapter 240

She hugged her knees tightly to her chest, looking like an obedient girl.

From the surface, one could not possibly tell that Gwendolyn was, in fact, already drunk.

Hearing Gwendolyn's voice, Zayden knocked on the car window and voiced, “Mr. Lowen, I'm here topick Gwen up. Can you please open the door for me?”

However, Patrick was displeased. He locked the car door, and Zayden could not open the door fromthe outside.

Gwendolyn turned sideways and took a glance. “Zayden, I'm here. Zayden! Are you coming to get meup yet?”

There was a hint of frustration in her voice. As a matter of fact, Zayden would always send her homewhen she got drunk.

Hence, she felt safe hearing his voice.

Patrick uttered aloofly, “Start the car.”

Larry wanted to get down from the car to resolve the accident but had a change of mind uponwitnessing everything.

Hearing Patrick's instructions, he had no choice but to start the car according to his employer'scommand.

The moment Larry drove away, Gwendolyn's phone rang.

She threw everything out of her bag, grabbed her phone, and picked up the call.

“Hello?”

“Gwen, ask Patrick to stop the car.”

Zayden sounded frosty when he said that. Later, he added, “Justin and Julian asked me to pick you up.They're waiting for you at home.”

Hearing that, Gwendolyn started to get a little impatient.

“Stop the car.”

Larry slammed his foot on the brake immediately. Gwendolyn swiftly pushed open the car door, andZayden rushed up to get her out of the car.

“Gwen, did he bully you?”

Shaking her head, Gwendolyn waved at the car and voiced, “Goodbye, Mr. Lowen!”

Patrick merely watched her walk away with his brows furrowed, feeling utterly upset.

She knows who I am. Why is she walking away with another man?

Noticing the darkened expression on Patrick's face, Larry dared not to say a word and decided to staystill.

“Drive.”

Larry could feel his heart racing upon hearing his cold command. Without hesitation, he revved up theengine and left the place.

“Wrong direction. Follow Zayden's car.”

His words left Larry slightly taken aback, as the latter assumed that Patrick was mad and preferred togo home instead.

Never had he thought that his employer wanted to tailgate Zayden. Obediently, he made a U-turn andfollowed Zayden's car closely behind.

Inside Zayden's car, Gwendolyn sank back into the passenger's seat, feeling sleepy, but she found itdifficult to fall asleep.

“Zayden, are we reaching home yet?”

The man turned around to look at her. His eyes instantaneously dimmed with anguish. She would havebeen taken away by Patrick if I didn't make it in time just now. I can't imagine what would happen to hertonight if I didn't appear.

“Gwen, Patrick isn't a good guy. It's best for you to keep a distance from him. Do you want to consider

working at Surrington Corporation? The pay there will be higher than what he offered you.”

In fact, Gwendolyn would have gone to Surrington Corporation long ago if she wished to rely onZayden.

Nevertheless, she had never thought of going to Surrington Corporation. She merely felt thankful toZayden for saving her and her children's lives a few years back.

To avoid conflict between Zayden and Angeline, Gwendolyn had chosen to keep a distance fromZayden, no matter how hard it was for her.

The moment the car stopped, Gwendolyn could feel her stomach rumble uncomfortably. Zaydenhugged her in his arms, planning to carry her down. It was at that moment Gwendolyn suddenly felt anurge to puke.

The next second, she started to gag on his chest.

After throwing everything up, Gwendolyn felt better in an instant.

Meanwhile, Zayden's features darkened like coal.

Seeing that, the driver in the front seat was stunned. “Mr. Surrington,” he uttered.

Zayden raised his hand, gesturing him to stay silent.

He then took a serviette and handed it over to Gwendolyn. Grabbing it over, she wiped her mouth andmuttered, “I'm sorry, Zayden. I couldn't control myself. Don't get too close to me the next time when I'm

drunk.”

Gwendolyn had drunk too much that night. She tried to stay conscious a while ago but ended upvomiting instead.

She felt so much better after throwing up, nonetheless.

Her vision was no longer blurry. The next instant, she cast a glance on Zayden's exorbitant shirt.

She could not bring herself to look at it. As she took another look, a feeling of nausea came over heragain.
