Kevin could not help but laugh. “Babe, did I even say that? Why? Do you feel like doing it with menow?”

A faint smile crept on Estelle's face as she rolled her eyes at him. “I was just giving you a warning.”

Gwendolyn looked at Kevin and Estelle from the side. She could tell that Kevin liked his young girlfrienda lot.

Patrick stared at her intently. “What are you looking at?”

Following her gaze, he looked in the direction of where Kevin and Estelle were standing. Upon realizingthat Gwendolyn was staring at them, he furrowed his brows slightly. “Do you like that girl?”

Gwendolyn retracted her gaze and stared into his deep eyes. “She's young and adorable. Also, shehas quite a personality. I feel she looks like the old me.”

Her expression changed a little as she uttered the last sentence. It seemed like she was reminiscing.

Before she turned eighteen, she was the precious daughter of the Ashton family. Not only did hergrandfather dote her a lot, but everyone else treated her well too. Moreover, she was also a capricious,stubborn young lady.

Unfortunately, after that incident, she had no choice but to endure everything she should not haveencountered at that age.

She became a mother out of the blue, and her life started getting rough too. Since then, no one loved

or doted on her anymore.

She had to bear the responsibility of taking care of her three children herself. That was why shechanged into someone who was no longer as confident as in the past. Moreover, she lost the courageto love whoever she wanted.

At that thought, Gwendolyn let out a sigh. Sometimes, if you lose something, you'll lose it forever.

Hence, she thought of herself in the past when she looked at Estelle just now. Back then, she waslively and innocent, just like Estelle. She used to look that youthful, and her eyes were always full ofcontempt and disdain.

Suddenly, Patrick grabbed her arms and wrapped them around his neck. He then hugged her waist andpulled her closer into his embrace. Standing close to each other, they continued dancing.

Gwendolyn narrowed her eyes and smiled as the faint fragrance on Patrick's body wafted into hernose. With him, she felt like she had found the feelings of being pampered and loved in the past.

Patrick's lips were so close to her ear. She felt a tickling sensation in her ear as his warm breathlingered close to her.

“Gwen, you're more beautiful and charming than Ms. Blenheim. You're special.” To Patrick, Gwendolynwas incomparable. She was always the most gorgeous and unique woman in his eyes.

That young lady doesn't even deserve to get compared with Gwen.

Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn broke into laughter. Lifting her face, she gazed at his mask and his dark

eyes.

Although Patrick was wearing a mask, he was as handsome and charming as ever. Gwendolyn couldfeel her heart pounding fast after glancing at him.

“Patrick, you're being overprotective.”

Patrick was unfazed by her remark. He lifted a brow, saying, “I'm just telling the truth.”

A bright smile bloomed on Gwendolyn's face again. His words were so sweet that anyone would bedelighted if they heard that.

Felicia, who stood at the side of the dance floor, was infuriated. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn'teven change into this green dress! I should've worn that red evening dress here.

Now that she looked at her green dress, she felt extremely irritated.

Turning around, she walked out of the room. After taking back her clothes and bag, she took out herphone and got in her car. Her driver had been waiting at the entrance.

All her subordinates were afraid of her. After all, Felicia was a bad-tempered woman. She would firethem if they made a single mistake.

Therefore, the housekeepers in the Ashton residence had to be extra cautious when they were facingFelicia. They did not dare to say anything to her even if they were displeased.

Felicia dialed Candace's number and said, “Mom, didn't you say that you'll replace someone to get rid of

Gwendolyn? I hope she'll disappear from this world tomorrow!”

She was so angry that could not wait any longer. I really hope that Gwendolyn will die tonight!

Right then, Candace was binge-watching TV shows in her bedroom. Upon hearing what Felicia said,she lowered the volume of the television. “What's wrong, Sweetheart?”

“Mom, didn't I tell you I'll accompany a friend to a birthday party today? Gwendolyn is also here. Do youknow what's worse? She came with Patrick. My friends are all making fun of me. They'll never hang outwith me again in the future.” Felicia choked back a sob as she spoke.
