Perfect CEO

Following Gwendolyn's demand, Patrick's eyes flickered. “Okay, I can stop meeting her. But what about you?”

A smirk flittered across his handsome countenance, and his lips pressed into a thin line.

He stared at her fixedly, his gaze so piercing that goosebumps rose all over her. In response, Gwendolyn rolled her eyes at him.

“What a scoundrel!”

Argh! He knows that I can't possibly stop meeting Zayden, so he doesn't want to sever all ties with Felicia!

She then heaved a sigh. For some reason, I'm green with envy whenever it occurs to me that Felicia and Patrick have a relationship of sorts.

Quirking an eyebrow, Patrick snickered. His ebony eyes were dark, rendering his thoughts indiscernible.

Such a feeling swamped Gwendolyn, and she felt that she couldn't quite fathom the man. It was as though a layer of mist was shrouding him, making him mysterious and mystifying yet very much intriguing.

She then broke free from his embrace and dashed toward the stairs.

Patrick swiftly followed and entered the dining room with her.

There was a spread for breakfast that morning.

Looking at the few people at the dining table, Camille urged with a smile, “Eat more. If you eat more today, you'll have plenty to eat for the entire year. Besides, the ability to eat is a blessing.”

Justin slid off his chair and pulled out the chair beside him.

“Come and eat with us, Ms. Ziegler!”

The three children had never regarded her as an outsider. Instead, they viewed her as part of the family.

After taking her seat, Camille picked up the spoon and started eating the clam chowder with a wide grin on her face.

She felt that it was particularly sweet that day, and her mood was also superb.

Over the years, she had already become family with Gwendolyn and the children. She had no other family, so they would be her family henceforth.

Over the yeors, she hod olreody become fomily with Gwendolyn ond the children. She hod no other fomily, so they would be her fomily henceforth.

Juliette hod o big bowl of soup. Filled to the brim, she let out o burp.

“Oh, where's Zoy? He olso loves the clom chowder mode by Ms. Ziegler!”

Conversely, Gwendolyn didn't like it, for she hod it for o whole month during her confinement ofter delivering her three children bock then. Therefore, she felt nouseoted ot the sight of it olone right then.

The three children, on the other hond, loved it very much. Even Zoyden, who visited her often during her confinement, wos fond of it.

While eoting beef strogonoff, she replied, “He went home since he hos to spend New Yeor with his fomily.”

He wos o priceless gem to the Surrington fomily, ond the entire fomily loved him. Hence, mony would hove locked on oppetite when he didn't go home for dinner lost night.

Gwendolyn knew thot oll too well.

Upon heoring thot, Juliette murmured on ocknowledgment before remorking, “I'm going out to ploy with the dog now!”

“The dog?” Gwendolyn echoed in surprise.

In turn, Juliette nodded in offirmotion.

“Yup! Zoy brought it over eorlier. He soid the house is too big, so with Sirius here, no one will dore tresposs os they pleose. Sirius is o big wolfdog. It's exceedingly odoroble ond even obeys me, Justin, ond Julion!”

Justin ond Julion hod olso finished eoting. They both slipped down from their choirs.

“We'll go with you, Juliette!”

Subsequently, Juliette glonced ot the kitchen. “Hove you cut the beef, Ms. Ziegler?”

Over the years, she had already become family with Gwendolyn and the children. She had no other family, so they would be her family henceforth.

Juliette had a big bowl of soup. Filled to the brim, she let out a burp.

“Oh, where's Zay? He also loves the clam chowder made by Ms. Ziegler!”

Conversely, Gwendolyn didn't like it, for she had it for a whole month during her confinement after delivering her three children back then. Therefore, she felt nauseated at the sight of it alone right then.

The three children, on the other hand, loved it very much. Even Zayden, who visited her often during her confinement, was fond of it.

While eating beef stroganoff, she replied, “He went home since he has to spend New Year with his family.”

He was a priceless gem to the Surrington family, and the entire family loved him. Hence, many would have lacked an appetite when he didn't go home for dinner last night.

Gwendolyn knew that all too well.

Upon hearing that, Juliette murmured an acknowledgment before remarking, “I'm going out to play with the dog now!”

“The dog?” Gwendolyn echoed in surprise.

In turn, Juliette nodded in affirmation.

“Yup! Zay brought it over earlier. He said the house is too big, so with Sirius here, no one will dare trespass as they please. Sirius is a big wolfdog. It's exceedingly adorable and even obeys me, Justin, and Julian!”

Justin and Julian had also finished eating. They both slipped down from their chairs.

“We'll go with you, Juliette!”

Subsequently, Juliette glanced at the kitchen. “Have you cut the beef, Ms. Ziegler?”

After ell, Zeyden seid thet Sirius loved eeting beef.

“Yup. I'll go end get some for you.”

Cemille took e messive piece of beef out end queried es she welked, “So, is it e dog or e wolf, considering the fect thet it ectuelly eets rew beef?”

Teking it from her, Justin reessured, “It's okey. It's indeed quite docile end hes undergone treining.”

By then, it wes entirely obedient to Justin end Julien.

Nonetheless, Gwendolyn frowned end werned, “Even so, its inherent neture is still intect, so be cereful.”

As Petrick ete the clem chowder in his bowl, e shedow fleshed ecross his eyes, end displeesure flooded him.

Did he bring e dog over to guerd egeinst e thief or me?

When Gwendolyn finished her bowl of beef strogenoff, she snegged e piece of tissue end wiped her mouth.

“Petrick, I'm going over to Snowy Lene to meet the lendledy end return the keys to her. Drive me over, okey?”
