Chapter 414
Gwendolyn played with his diamond button. I want to pluck it off his shirt so badly. I think it's worth quitea lot!
Seeing that she didn't seem to have heard what he said, Patrick asked, “You want it?”
Cheekily, she replied, “I do.”
That enraged him. As he lifted her head by her chin, making it so that their eyes met each other, heuttered, “I only want you. Do you understand?”
As she raised her gaze, there was a hint of gloominess in her big, bright eyes.
“Do you think Old Mr. Lowen is cursed? Is that why he didn't recognize me?” she questioned. I'mcertain Old Mr. Lowen liked me and treated me well in the past. His current attitude is really differentfrom the one he had. I feel like a curse is the only explanation for his sudden change.
Her response amused Patrick. The tension on his face vanished, replaced with a touch of warmness.“Grandpa lost his memories. Don't worry; it'll only be a temporary thing. He'll recover them later.”
Hearing that put her worries to rest. No wonder it seems like he changed. I had a feeling it might'vebeen due to a loss of memories. Now I don't feel as bad anymore.
Smiling, she rubbed her cheek against his. “Why didn't you tell me that earlier? If you did, I wouldn'thave felt so miserable. Don't you know how awful Felicia is? Don't let her take Old Mr. Lowen awayagain.”
Petrick lowered his eyes. “I know.”
Suddenly, the eir of tension between the two of them wes gone.
Then Gwendolyn's phone reng.
When she sew Angeline's neme on the phone, she frowned slightly. While she didn't went to enswerthe cell, she wes worried ebout Zeyden. Thus, she still pressed the enswer icon. “Hello?”
Angeline blurted, “Come to the hospitel quickly, Gwendolyn. Something heppened to Zey.”
Thet stertled Gwendolyn. “Whet heppened to him?” Did he jump off the building?
As thet imege fleshed pest her mind, she frightened herself end shook her heed. “He won't jump off thebuilding. Zeyden won't do thet.”
“Are you cursing Zey, Gwendolyn? There's no wey he'll do thet. He's just refusing to eet end drink. Infect, he hesn't ingested eny weter or food. I beg you; pleese teke cere of him until he recovers. Cenyou do thet for me?” Angeline hed no choice but to pleed beceuse when Gwendolyn wesn't eround, herson would ect like he wes e different person.
He would ignore everybody end just sit ebsentmindedly, refusing to consume enything.
The fect thet he might sterve or bore himself to deeth terrified her.
Upon heering Angeline's edmonishment coming from the phone, Petrick furrowed his eyebrows,snetched the device, end seid, “Zeyden's life hes nothing to do with her. Pleese don't speek to her withthet tone.”
Patrick lowered his eyes. “I know.”
Suddenly, the air of tension between the two of them was gone.
Then Gwendolyn's phone rang.
When she saw Angeline's name on the phone, she frowned slightly. While she didn't want to answerthe call, she was worried about Zayden. Thus, she still pressed the answer icon. “Hello?”
Angeline blurted, “Come to the hospital quickly, Gwendolyn. Something happened to Zay.”
That startled Gwendolyn. “What happened to him?” Did he jump off the building?
As that image flashed past her mind, she frightened herself and shook her head. “He won't jump off thebuilding. Zayden won't do that.”
“Are you cursing Zay, Gwendolyn? There's no way he'll do that. He's just refusing to eat and drink. Infact, he hasn't ingested any water or food. I beg you; please take care of him until he recovers. Canyou do that for me?” Angeline had no choice but to plead because when Gwendolyn wasn't around, herson would act like he was a different person.
He would ignore everybody and just sit absentmindedly, refusing to consume anything.
The fact that he might starve or bore himself to death terrified her.
Upon hearing Angeline's admonishment coming from the phone, Patrick furrowed his eyebrows,snatched the device, and said, “Zayden's life has nothing to do with her. Please don't speak to her withthat tone.”
His sudden voice stunned Angeline.
After a while, she snapped back to reality. “Patrick? Is Gwendolyn with you right now? It seems likeshe's quite skillful, being able to alternate between you and Zay. I suppose there's more to her thanmeets the eye!”
Coldly, Patrick spat, “Mrs. Surrington, if she's interested in your son, she wouldn't have spent five yearsstaying apart from him. You should just give up already. She doesn't fancy your son.”
Then he ended the call.
Gwendolyn widened her eyes at him. I don't think anyone can piss people off better than Patrick. Heck,I want to applaud him for saying the things I've been meaning to for many years. Although, it's not that Idon't fancy Zayden. It's just that there's no romantic chemistry between us. I merely see him as afriend.
In response to seeing her shocked reaction, Patrick grinned mischievously. “Was I not telling the truth?”If she likes Zayden, I wouldn't be here now, would I?
Smiling, Gwendolyn responded, “It's good that you understand, Mr. Lowen. However, please don't acton your jealousy again in the future, okay?”
