Perfect CEO

She looked exceptionally stunning, and she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Looking at her, he felt a moment of peace in his heart as though all his worries had been cleared.

It was past eleven o'clock at night after all the fireworks were set off. The three children were exhausted too.

Gwendolyn brought them back to their room and put them to sleep. Meanwhile, Patrick sat in the yard, holding a cigarette between his fingers.

It was dead silent in the mountain. The only sound they could hear from time to time was the laughter of the people on the opposite side of the mountain who were in the hot springs.

Liam stood aside and accompanied Patrick, looking at the starry sky.

Suddenly, Patrick questioned, “Liam, do you think family affection is more important than love?”

He wanted to marry this woman even though she already had children. The fact did not seem to bother him at all.

However, he could not bear to go against his grandfather who might collapse at any time, as the latter was not in good health.

As a result, he was in a dilemma.

He wished he could give her happiness, but he could not marry her for the time being.

It was a difficult question that left Liam pondering for a long time before he replied, “I guess family affection matters more!”

Love might not be eternal, but the bond between family members would not break apart that easily. Family members were the ones who would stick around through thick and thin for a long time.

Patrick took a heavy puff on his cigarette without saying a word.

At that point, Liam could tell from Patrick's solemn expression that the latter was not in a good mood. Nonetheless, Liam could not seem to tell what was on Patrick's mind, and he dared probe further either.

They returned to the city on the next day.

As soon as the car stopped at Snowy Lane, Liam opened the door for them. Justin got out of the car first and reached out to help Juliette.

Gwendolyn hopped off after all her children had gotten out of the car.

Patrick, who was sitting in the backseat, wound down the window, revealing his chiseled profile.

“Mr. Lowen, thank you for taking us out,” said Gwendolyn.

Following that, the three children said in unison, “Thank you, Mr. Lowen!”

Patrick turned to look at them and replied calmly, “You're welcome! Just work harder in the future if you wish to repay my kindness, Ms. Ashton.”

Gwendolyn immediately grabbed the gist behind his words.

Nodding, she replied, “I got it, Mr. Lowen. Bye!”

The three kids entered the house after the car drove off. As Gwendolyn walked back, Tommy strode toward her.

“Gwen, when are you going to pay the money? It's been two weeks, and the company is rushing me!”

Only then did Gwendolyn get reminded of that matter. “I'm sorry, Tommy! I'll ask her if she has sold the house. We'll transfer the money as soon as the house gets sold.”
