Chapter 277

Patrick looked at the string of saliva between Gwendolyn and his lips and thought it was extremelyalluring.

If it weren't because he had already taken care of his desire in the bathroom earlier, he would've takenher there and then, no matter what.

He gently traced his slender fingers on her lips. You're really gorgeous. Your eyes are huge and bright,and you look innocent to the point that it aches my heart when you look me in the eye.

Then, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. “Gwen, please stay by my side forever!”

He appeared slightly sorrowful when he said that as if he had lost her before.

Gwendolyn felt her heart clenching, and she hummed in reply. “Mm!”

At that moment, their hearts were pressed tightly against each other.

They could feel their strong need for one another. To her surprise, Gwendolyn even felt her heartaching for the man.

Patrick absolutely didn't need her feeling heartbroken for him since he was a powerful, wealthy, andcapable man with prominent family background. In fact, he was supposed to have everything he everdesired in life.

They embraced each other for a long time. It wasn't until she felt her legs getting sore that he finally let

her go, grazing her tiny nose.

“Do you want to stay the night?” His eyes darkened when he asked that question, causing her heart toskip a beat.

Still, she shook her head. “I can't. I have to go home.”

I knew it. When compared to the three children, I'm nothing. I shall take it slow, then. I hope I'll have aplace in her heart someday.

He had his arm around her shoulder as they walked to the living room together. Then, he made her siton the couch.

After sitting down next to her, he pulled her into his arms again. This time, it was domineering, as if hewould not allow her to reject him.

Regardless, Gwendolyn didn't want to push him away either.

“Tell me about yourself, Gwen. I feel like I don't know you as well as Zayden does.”

At the thought of that, he felt a little annoyed.

Gwendolyn couldn't help but giggle upon seeing his disgruntled expression.

She leaned against his chest and caressed the sweater he was wearing. It was made of wool and feltsoft to the touch. Not only that, but he also looked great wearing it.

“Patrick, Zayden isn't actually the kids' father. Justin only said that to make you angry.”

She wanted to laugh whenever she thought about that.

It's all because you behaved as though you were pursuing me in front of the kids yet got engaged toFelicia secretly. It's not a wise choice to lie to children.

Patrick let out a sigh of relief. It's just as I expected.

“I know.”

He could tell by looking at the appearances of the three children—none of them looked like Zayden. Onthe contrary, Justin and Julian resembled him.

Finally, the smile on his face grew, and he looked more relieved than before. He stared at her with anexpression that got more joyful by the second.

Without warning, he leaned in closer to Gwendolyn, wanting to kiss her again. Yet, she dodged it thistime.

“My lips are all swelled up because of you. You can't kiss me again.”

Although our kiss is also pleasurable to me, I'm afraid we will lose control again like what happenedthis afternoon. I don't want to dive into this relationship too quickly, so we need to take it slow.Otherwise, won't he stop cherishing me?

With that thought in mind, her expression turned slightly solemn as she pressed her palms on his chestto stop him. “Patrick, are you serious about us?”

The man's eyes became bleak, and his gaze on her intensified. He scoffed, “Do you not trust me?”

She looked at his handsome face that was just a few inches away from hers; his exquisite facialfeatures were extremely charming, and the way he stared at her was unpredictable.

How will I ever understand someone like you?

They were at an impasse for a while before Patrick finally let her go.

Seeing how he turned his back to face her, she felt an inexplicable sadness growing within her.Therefore, she wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his neck. “I trust you.”

No matter what happens in the future, I want to be with you, and I want to cherish this relationship.

Right then, the doorbell of his house rang, so she abruptly released him.

“It must be the kids. I need to go now.”
