Perfect CEO

Chapter 168

Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn was delighted, but it was just an empty word, as she had received nothing yet.

“Why should I be happy? You don't even know if there's anything I like.”

Patrick was stunned by her words as amusement flashed across his eyes. “All the items at the auction are extravagant, Ms. Ashton. Can money not buy you happiness?”

Gwendolyn thought money could make her happy, but it depended. With a light cough, she replied, “I may be poor, but money will not necessarily make me happy.”

My children's happiness is also my happiness. It's as simple as that.

Everything she did was for her three children.

Frowning slightly, the man tapped his finger on the armrest. I see she has learned how to rebuke.

“If so, forget what I said earlier.”

At that, Gwendolyn froze and turned her head. “Actually, money still makes me happy, Mr. Lowen. Someone like you will always keep their promises, right?”

Patrick realized she was trying to set him up, but he refused to fall into her trap.

“Yes, I always keep my word. That includes what I said just now.”

Gwendolyn rolled her eyes. I knew he was only teasing me. He never planned to give me anything.

Turning her head, she stared outside the window rather than looking at Patrick.

The items at the auction were special, but she was not greedy to that extent and did not mind not getting a gift.

Patrick grinned as he saw her dejected look, feeling more entertained.

Soon, they arrived in a small city on the outskirts. They were in a medieval town with a large antique shop.

The antique shop was a classic building where the auction was held.

Numerous luxury vehicles were parked outside the entrance. Gwendolyn followed Patrick out of the car. The temperature was lower on the outskirts, and it was more humid.

As soon as she got out of the car, Gwendolyn felt a chill.

She shrank into herself from the cold. Noticing that, Patrick took off his navy blue coat to drape it over her.

Feeling the warmth, Gwendolyn turned to stare at him.

Yet, Patrick walked off, and Gwendolyn clutched the coat. There was Patrick's faint scent and his lingering warmth on the coat.

She felt much cozier.

Smiling, Liam stood beside her. “Remember to wear more layers next time, Ms. Ashton.”
