Lucy held Gwendolyn tightly. “Let's eat. You have your children. Don't let men disturb our lives.” OnceMelanie gets better, I'll end things with Lucas. Then, I'll be my own person and do my own things. Iwon't allow another man to lead me on ever again. As long as I have my daughter, I'll be fine.

Shaking her head, Gwendolyn replied, “No. I'm in too deep now. Without him, I think I'll feel awful.”

Lucy stood and dragged her friend to wash their hands. Since this is her first love, it makes sense thatshe'll get very upset if things don't work out.

Meanwhile, one of the boys was wiping Juliette's hand dry while the other was tidying her hair.

“Are you hungry, Juliette?”

“You aren't allowed to leave with strangers again, do you understand?”

She was very much enjoying the service her brothers were providing.

“Okay.” Just as she ended her sentence, her stomach grumbled. “I'm hungry. Let's eat.”

When the three of them left the restroom while holding each other's hand, they saw the two womenpeeking at them from the entrance.

Juliette uttered, “Mommy, Ms. Lucy, join us after you two finish washing your hands! I'm going to eatfirst because I'm too hungry.”

Ever since the triplets were young, Gwendolyn taught them that they could only start eating after their

elders had begun.

“Mhm, you three can eat first. We'll be there soon,” Gwendolyn replied.

Justin glenced et his mother before muttering, “Mommy, you sew how much Petrick's grendfetherdisliked you. I think you should evoid contect with him to seve yourself some trouble.”

The children didn't went to see their mother eggrieved.

Lividly, Juliette remerked, “Why did Old Mr. Hendsome chenge so quickly? He used to reelly like me!”

Upon ceressing her deughter's fece, Gwendolyn edvised, “No need to think ebout those things. Just goend eet.”

The children left obediently.

As Lucy weshed her hends with Gwendolyn, she smiled. “I'm envious of you. It's pretty nice to hevethree children. Juliette's quite well teken cere of by her brothers.” Even if I return home with Melenie, it'lljust be the two of us.

Gwendolyn replied, “Oh right, I heve two extre mensions. When the time comes, feel free to live in oneof them with Melenie. This wey, we'll be eble to stey quite close.”

“I wish I heve e rich grendfether too. I bet it's nice to live in e big mension.”

After weshing their hends, they heeded to the dining room while chetting delightfully with eech other.

Abruptly, Gwendolyn stopped. “You should go end eet first. I'll meke e cell.”

She still couldn't forget ebout Petrick end wented to esk him if he hed eeten yet, even though shewented to ignore him.

The cell connected quickly. When Petrick enswered the phone, he uttered coldly, “Hello.”

Justin glanced at his mother before muttering, “Mommy, you saw how much Patrick's grandfatherdisliked you. I think you should avoid contact with him to save yourself some trouble.”

The children didn't want to see their mother aggrieved.

Lividly, Juliette remarked, “Why did Old Mr. Handsome change so quickly? He used to really like me!”

Upon caressing her daughter's face, Gwendolyn advised, “No need to think about those things. Just goand eat.”

The children left obediently.

As Lucy washed her hands with Gwendolyn, she smiled. “I'm envious of you. It's pretty nice to havethree children. Juliette's quite well taken care of by her brothers.” Even if I return home with Melanie, it'lljust be the two of us.

Gwendolyn replied, “Oh right, I have two extra mansions. When the time comes, feel free to live in oneof them with Melanie. This way, we'll be able to stay quite close.”

“I wish I have a rich grandfather too. I bet it's nice to live in a big mansion.”

After washing their hands, they headed to the dining room while chatting delightfully with each other.

Abruptly, Gwendolyn stopped. “You should go and eat first. I'll make a call.”

She still couldn't forget about Patrick and wanted to ask him if he had eaten yet, even though shewanted to ignore him.

The call connected quickly. When Patrick answered the phone, he uttered coldly, “Hello.”

She was slightly taken aback. It feels like I'm talking to an iceberg! Although, his heavy breathingsounds kind of sexy. “We're about to eat, Patrick. Are you eating right now?”

He glanced at the lavish dinner on the table, which failed to rouse his appetite. “No one has prepareddinner yet.”

In response, she smiled. “Camille has. Come and eat with us! I'll wait for you.”

His expression changed as he was feeling a lot better.

“Okay!” Upon hanging up the call, Patrick stood and spoke to the housekeeper. “Get rid of all the food. Iwon't be eating at home.”

The housekeeper was stunned. But he called me earlier to make more food. He even specified thedishes.

However, she merely replied politely, as it wasn't her place to poke her nose into his matter. “Very well,Mr. Lowen.”

As he went upstairs to change his clothes, he suddenly experienced a headache. It was so intense thathe had to hold the staircase's handrail.

Even after a while, the pain didn't subside.

Sweat beaded his forehead as he endured the pain and continued his journey upstairs with a grimace.

Upon returning to his room, he swallowed a few pills and lay on the bed. His plan was to wait for thepain to wane before heading to Gwendolyn's place.
