Perfect CEO

Patrick sat up and rubbed his face before he turned to the boys.

“I really love your mommy. Believe me. I'll never let her feel wronged again.”

Justin and Julian turned their gaze to Patrick at his words. Then, Justin said coldly, “We'll believe you if you marry our mommy.”

Patrick's expression changed at the mention of marriage. It turned out that he was planning on keeping the relationship a secret from Hector.

After all, Hector was not well. Thus, Patrick worried that something would happen to Hector in a fit of rage.

He dared not think about it too much, but he would not allow anything to happen to his grandfather.

However, Justin and Julian scoffed when they saw his hesitation.

“Don't mess with her if you can't marry her. She cannot afford to play games with you.”

The boys thought that their mother was too naïve and kind. They even assumed that she had no idea about the affairs between a man and a woman.

Similarly, Gwendolyn was also stunned by Patrick's response. She turned to look at him as she wondered if he really never thought of marrying her.

She was a little disappointed by that. Yet, she supposed someone with Patrick's status would marry a woman with a similar background. Thus, it should not be a surprise that a single mother like her was unworthy to marry into his family.

She felt so inferior at that thought that she just wanted to cower into her shell and hide.

Suddenly, Justin reminded, “It's already a quarter past eight. You'll be late for work.”

At the sound of that, Gwendolyn slowly turned around and went into the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Juliette was chatting away with Patrick. “Mr. Lowen, can you move into our house? Gwen is scared to sleep alone at night. I'll be relieved if you're here to accompany her.”

Patrick burst out in laughter at her words and caressed her head.

“Okay. I think she needs company, too.”

Patrick really liked how thoughtful Juliette was. He thought about how the three children would also be his kids once he and Gwendolyn got married in the future. He would be glad to have a little sweetheart like Juliette.

At that moment, Julian went over and held Juliette's hand as he said, “Juliette, let's go downstairs for breakfast.”

Juliette was also hungry by then. “Oh! Mr. Lowen, hurry up and come for breakfast after you changed,” she said.

At the same time, Justin glared at Patrick coldly. “Patrick, please leave. Don't ever set foot in our house again.”

His eyes were full of warning and a hint of provocation. It was as though he would destroy Patrick if the latter ever returned to the house again.

Patrick raised his brows. This kid. He's so young and small, yet his presence is no lesser than mine. He's more than enough to protect Gwendolyn all these years.

“Justin, I already have my eyes set on Gwendolyn, and I will not change my mind. We will get married eventually. So, you can test me however you want. I'm willing to accept it,” he said with a smile.

Patrick was serious about what he said. Even though he could not marry Gwendolyn as soon as possible, he was determined to give her a wedding of a lifetime.
