Chapter 297

Patrick's expression fell when he noticed that Gwendolyn's gaze had darkened.

“What? Have you never thought about marrying me?” he asked.

Patrick was very disappointed. Originally, he thought that Gwendolyn would be all over him when hemanaged to win her over.

But now, he knew that he had gotten his hopes too high. Gwendolyn had never imagined a future withhim.

Feeling crestfallen, he raised the wine glass and drank all the wine in one gulp. The atmosphere in therestaurant instantly turned cold.

Even Gwendolyn felt the temperature in the restaurant decrease. She felt a little cold as a result.

“No, I didn't mean that,” she responded.

With that, she placed some food on his plate. Because she wanted to be with him, she asked thatquestion.

“What do you mean then?” Patrick looked at her coldly. “I feel like we're just fooling around. Once we'vesatisfied ourselves in this ambiguous relationship, we'll go our separate ways. Gwendolyn, I'm not ascasual as you are.”

The more Patrick thought about it, the angrier he became. If he was such a man, he would have beensurrounded by women long ago. It was a wonder why he became celibate for so many years.

To Patrick, getting together meant being with one another for life.

Gwendolyn stretched her hand out and place it on his large hand. Her index finger lightly scratched theback of his hand.

“Patrick, I want to be with you for life. I know I'm not a good person and that I have a dark past.However, I didn't do those things willingly. I didn't wish to do those things. Do you believe me?”

She could not escape the fact that she had given birth out of wedlock and did not even know who thefather was. What happened in the past had become a nightmare that would haunt her for life.

It was also the main topic of discussion that others kept bringing up to Gwendolyn over the years. Ofcourse, she did not care. After all, her three children were the best gift she had ever received in herwhole life.

However, Gwendolyn had others matters that outsiders loved to stick their noses in.

Therefore, she never thought about getting a boyfriend or marrying someone.

However, she had met Patrick. He fulfilled all her dreams and doted on her like a child. It was becauseof him that she finally wanted to get married.

Gwendolyn wanted to be with Patrick for a lifetime. She did not want him to be snatched away by otherwomen.

Patrick smiled plainly when he heard her reply.

He said, “You silly girl. Your past means nothing to me. I regret that I was not with you while you facedthe happenings in the past, but I hope that I'm the only man in your future life. Do you understand?”

Patrick was very domineering, but Gwendolyn felt that she liked this side of him very much. She couldnot help but smile.

“Patrick, do you have any idea how incredible you are at sweet-talking?” she asked.

In the past, she thought that a man like Patrick would be very boring when he was with his girlfriend.She also believed that he would never utter any affectionate words.

From the looks of things, it seemed that Gwendolyn had misunderstood Patrick. His affectionate wordswere probably irresistible to any woman who heard them.

At that moment, Gwendolyn felt that she was utterly captivated by Patrick.

He raised his eyebrows. “I'm even more incredible in other areas. Do you want me to show you?”

The old Gwendolyn would probably not understand what he was saying, but the current Gwendolynunderstood what he meant immediately. Her delicate face blushed bright red. She then shot him aglare.

“We shouldn't talk while eating,” she said.

She then lowered her head and drank the soup. At that moment, she felt that the soup tastedwonderful.

As Patrick ate the food elegantly, his gaze toward her intensified.

Rebecca, who was seated at a nearby table, looked at the two of them. They seemed so affectionatethat they could make people jealous of them.

However, Rebecca knew from her past experiences that young couples started off like this at first. Intime, their relationship would gradually change.

Even if Gwendolyn were an angel, Patrick would get bored of looking at her every day. Although shelooked very beautiful, Rebecca believed that a handsome man like Patrick was used to beingpampered.

Thus, she doubted Patrick would stay committed to one woman and give up on pursuing others.

Look at Kevin. He never lacks female partners. Although he has never brought any women home, Iknow that he has a lot of lovers just by hearing the rumors spread by other people. Besides, Kevin andPatrick are good friends. As the saying goes, birds of the same feather flock together. They probablyhave the same preferences when it comes to girls.
