Perfect CEO

Chapter 720 They Officially Meet

Gwendolyn's eardrum ached from the man's frosty voice. Pursing her lips, she put down her fork. “I'm full, so I'll be leaving now. Luce, I'll leave the kids to you tonight.”

When Lucy stood up, Gwendolyn hastily added, “You don't need to see me out. You have many guests to take care of.” Then, she flashed the others a smile and said, “Goodbye, everyone!”

She was no longer as urgent as she was previously, fearing that others would see through her facade of calmness and that Lucy would follow her out.

Zayden was probably in a bad mood. Gwendolyn neither wanted Lucy to worry nor Patrick and the others to witness what would come next.

She had to face the consequences of her choices, no matter how difficult they might be.

When Gwendolyn began walking out of the dining room, Patrick stood up. Lucas called out to him, “Pat, where are you going?”

Kevin was biting on his fork in anticipation, seemingly eager for a good show.

“He's probably going to see Gwen out,” Estelle said.

Kevin smirked. “Not necessarily.”

Isn't Pat pretending not to know who Gwen is? He surely won't express his feelings so obviously. Looks like it's time for me to get the popcorn.

Estelle scoffed. “Of course it is. He's such a gentleman. I'm sure he's going to see Gwen out.”

As soon as Gwendolyn stepped out of the house, Patrick went out after her. He had a cigarette between his fingers as if to say that he was out for a smoking session instead of finding out what was going on with Gwendolyn.

Zayden's car was parked in the yard, and the man himself was leaning against his car. When he saw Gwendolyn exiting the house, he strode toward her and grabbed her wrist. His gaze was dark, and flames of anger were burning in them. “Why are you here? Come back with me now.” With that, he began towing Gwendolyn toward the car.

Gwendolyn struggled and cried out, “Let go of me. I can walk on my own!”

Then, Zayden opened the door and shoved her inside before slamming the door shut in a fit of anger. Just as he was walking toward the driver's seat, he spotted Patrick. Clenching his fists, his face clouded over.

Having seen how roughly Zayden had treated Gwendolyn, Patrick narrowed his eyes and took a long drag of his cigarette.

Zayden stormed over to Patrick.

Gwendolyn's heart lurched when she saw that, and she quickly opened the door to get out of the car.

“Zayden!” she shouted. “Aren't we going home now? Let's go.”
