Perfect CEO

Chapter 368

Patrick was distracted after hearing that. He moved his gaze away from the manual and to her instead.

Seeing this, Julian curled up his lips. It was wise of Justin to distract the enemy with just one move. Patrick would never get to defeat them now that he was distracted.

Gwendolyn smiled wryly and explained, “I only dropped by to visit him on my way back. It's not intentional. You have to trust me.”

She was almost losing her mind. It was not until now that she had learned the lesson that one should not be lying around in their lives, or it would be exhausting trying to come up with different excuses to cover up that one lie.

Moreover, it was even humiliating when her kids were the ones who exposed her lies.

Right then, Patrick was no longer interested in playing Lego. Instead, he stared at her, waiting for her to explain herself further.

He could not accept what she had just said.

Feeling uneasy under his stare, Gwendolyn had no choice but to surrender. “I'm sorry. Zayden has some issues with his vision, and he can no longer see anything. He's in a terrible state, and he refuses to eat anything. I only want him to get better.”

No one else would understand what Zayden meant to her.

Patrick pursed his lips. “What does it have to do with you that he can no longer see anything?”

It turned out that Gwendolyn was away to visit Zayden alone. She might even have fed him during her visit.

Thinking of this possibility, Patrick felt washed over by a wave of jealousy.

Gwendolyn sighed. “Patrick, Zayden is a very special person to me. He was the one who saved us, and I am forever grateful for that. Even if that did not happen, he is still my friend, and I will always care for him as a friend.”

She was honest about always caring for Zayden as a friend.

Suddenly, Julian excitedly said, “We're done.”

Hearing that, Patrick finally shifted his gaze back to his tank model. He was almost done building it, but he got distracted. Then, he moved his gaze to the car model across from him that was already completed.

“You lost,” said Justin coldly, and he pointed toward the door.

According to their bet, if Patrick won, Patrick would get to stay.

Now that Patrick had lost, not only did he not get to stay, but he also had to leave their house immediately.

Patrick stood up and strode toward the door.

Gwendolyn also stood up. “Patrick.”

He did not respond to that as he walked away without even looking back.

The two sons high-fived one another merrily.

“That's so cool!”

Juliette looked confused. “Mr. Lowen was so close to finishing building his tank. How did you guys still win? It's unfair!”

Julian and Justin glanced at their sister, who sided with an outsider instead of them. They shrugged at her words. “You can't change the fact that he lost.”

Gwendolyn stared at the door, wondering if Patrick could understand her feelings.

At the Ashton residence, Felicia was helping her heartbroken mother get out of the car. Zachary glanced at her. “Forget it. Your brother's soul will be more at ease with the Dannings family anyway.”
