Juliette laughed naively at Patrick's reply. “So, you're also hungry! You're just like me! I want to eatnow!”
Patrick grinned meaningfully as he watched the girl smiling sweetly like a doll.
Well, Sweetheart, we're not the same. What I want to eat is different.
During dinner, Gwendolyn kept putting food on Patrick's plate as if she was afraid he was not full.
“Gwen,” Juliette interrupted at one point, “why are you feeding him like he's a pig?”
To her, Patrick should control how much he ate since he would have to maintain his body shape andcharming appearance—that was what all the kids at the kindergarten told her.
That was why even Juliette would not eat to her fullest. She wanted to look good.
Everyone at the table could not help but laugh at her remark except for Justin and Julian, who dinedwithout entertaining Patrick.
They still had not approved of him since he might hurt their mother, so the boys gave him the coldshoulder.
Out of everyone, it was Camille who responded to Juliette's statement.
“That's not the case, Juliette. Mr. Lowen is a grown man, so he should eat more. He won't gain toomuch weight because of that.”
With that said, she turned and looked at Patrick. “Mr. Lowen, Gwen made all these herself. I hope youlike them.”
Not to mention Justin and Julian gave their input on the dishes. I've tasted them myself. They weresplendid.
At the knowledge, Patrick gazed at Gwendolyn and felt warm in his heart.
“I think it tastes superb!”
Although the two boys remained quiet and cold, dinner that night was heartwarming. The whole familygathered around the table, eating and laughing.
Despite their antipathy toward Patrick, the ambiance at dinner was still amicable since Juliette wasthere to break the ice with her cuteness.
With her at the table, along with Camille, who played along readily, dinner turned out to be a ratherpleasant affair.
As for Gwendolyn, she barely got to eat anything because she was busy getting food for Patrick.
Despite her sons' attitude toward that man, she figured she should still do her best to treat him well thatnight since it would be the last time she could be nice to him.
Her thought was unbeknownst to Patrick, who indulged himself in the blissful moment, looking intoGwendolyn's eyes on and off.
After dinner, Gwendolyn went upstairs to check the children's homework, showered them, and readthem bedtime stories before they hit the hay.
Meanwhile, Patrick did not leave immediately but waited for her in the living room so he could bring herback home with him. He sat on the couch with some wine as he watched some programs on thetelevision.
Since he did not enjoy watching dramas, he switched to the news channel while Camille cleaned up inthe kitchen.
When she was done, she left the kitchen only to see Patrick sitting alone in front of the television, soshe went over to pour him more wine.
“Have you been busy lately, Mr. Lowen? It's been a while since you came over for a meal.”
The housekeeper observed that Patrick had not been visiting every day as he used to, which hadsomehow affected Gwendolyn's mood.
“Yes,” Patrick grunted curtly, taking up the wine glass.
He had always been rigid and cold whenever he was with outsiders.
Then, Camille sat on the couch and began talking to him. Since Gwendolyn and the children hadalways taken her as their own family, the housekeeper made herself at home.
“Gwendolyn did not have it easy, Mr. Lowen. She was pregnant with the three children back when
everything happened. She could have died if Mr. Surrington had not saved her.”
Here, she paused and sighed.
“Her life is a tragedy. You can imagine how helpless she was being pregnant at such a young age andbeing chased out by her family. Throughout all this, Mr. Surrington is the one who has been helping her.In fact, he's also the one who got me to work here. He has done so much for her, so I can totallyunderstand where Gwendolyn is coming from: she wants to repay his kindness. She wants to care forhim until he regains sight, even if you do not understand her.”
