Chapter 390

Gwendolyn beamed at Patrick as she met his gaze. This feeling is really good!

She slowly walked out of the kitchen and sat at the dining table, behaving like an obedient youngstudent.

A moment later, a plentiful breakfast was served to her.

Patrick pushed a glass of milk to her and said, “Eat more.”

Gwendolyn picked up a fork and smiled before starting to eat.

The man took a sip of milk. While he was cutting the omelet, his phone suddenly rang, and he took aglance at the screen.

The caller was Liam. At that, Patrick frowned because he had given the instruction last night that noone was allowed to bother him on that day.

Gwendolyn reminded him. “Your phone is ringing.”

He did not want to answer it at first, but Liam called again after he missed the first call, so he picked itup.

“Speak.”

His voice was deep and cold, carrying a strong hint of annoyance.

Liam was in the car parked outside of the house. If it were not for the fact that he was sitting in the car,he would have been so frightened that he would drop to his knees once he heard Patrick's tone.

“Mr. Lowen, there's an accident at the construction site in the eastern district. Three people died. Youneed to take care of this personally.”

When Patrick heard his utterances, his frown deepened.

“How did it happen?”

Liam sighed before explaining, “The elevator malfunctioned last night and fell directly from the topfloor.”

Patrick immediately got up and said, “All right. I'll come out now.”

After hanging up the call, he cast a deep look at Gwendolyn, reluctant to leave. He truly wanted toenjoy breakfast with her. Moreover, she was wearing his shirt, and he really loved that look on her.

“Gwen, I need to deal with something at the office, so I have to go now. You can take the kids to theLowen residence later.”

Gwendolyn was a little worried when she saw his grim expression.

“Did something happen at the office?”

“It's nothing. I can handle it, but I can't accompany you to the Lowen residence because of this.”

She smiled and replied, “It's fine. You should go and handle it. I'll take the kids to the Lowen residenceto visit your grandparents, so don't worry.”

Patrick went upstairs to change and left immediately after.

Gwendolyn finished her breakfast and cleaned the kitchen before going home with her figure wrappedtightly under her coat.

When she entered her house, Camille went over and fetched her indoor slippers.

“You must have been tired after staying at the hospital all night, Gwen. Get some sleep after breakfast.”

Gwendolyn's eyes crinkled with a smile as she recalled that she had actually slept in the house nextdoor last night.

“I had breakfast, Camille. Please help the kids change their clothes. I'm bringing them to the Lowenresidence.”

Camille was slightly surprised, and her eyes brightened.

“Are you and Mr. Lowen getting married? Are you taking the children to meet his family members?”

Afterward, she hurriedly went upstairs, saying, “Then I should doll them up. They are all so good-looking, so I'm sure the Lowens will like them.”

Gwendolyn smiled in response before changing into the indoor slippers.

“You don't have to be so nervous, Camille. I'm just taking the kids to visit his grandparents.”

Even so, Camille still felt that the children had to dress up well since they were going to see theLowens. At the same time, she thought she had to make the elderly couple fond of the kids.

Gwendolyn went to her bedroom and changed into a black dress of vintage style, matching it with blackhigh heels. The whole ensemble made her look elegant.

Juliette entered her room, and her large eyes were riveted on her mother's figure in an instant.

“Gwen, you look so beautiful today!”

Gwendolyn was taken aback by her words and asked, “Really?”

The outfit she picked had a simple design. Besides, she did not have many clothes since she could notafford them in the past.

Even then, she did not buy much clothing either.

The design of the dress she picked was outdated.

Juliette nodded vehemently. “You really look beautiful! Your face is pink, and your eyes are sparkling!You look just like my Barbie doll because you're practically glowing!”

Hearing her words, Gwendolyn finally understood that it was not her dress that made her look beautiful

but the beauty that she radiated from the inside out.

She wondered if what happened last night nourished her body and thus improved her appearance.

Her face suddenly turned even redder, and she changed the subject.

“We should head out now.”
