Chapter 273
Gwendolyn entered the kitchen with a flushed face.
When Camille saw her, she asked, “Gwen, why is your face so red? Are you sick?”
Gwendolyn reached out to touch her face with her hand. She had already felt her face heating up, but now she was even more embarrassed that Camille pointed it out.
“It's fine. It's just that the heater here is quite strong, so I'm feeling a little warm.”
She then proceeded to the counter. “Is there anything I can do, Ms. Ziegler? I can assist you. They're all ravenous. It's a lot for you to take on your own, so it'll be easier with another person.”
Camille pointed to a plate of vegetables. “You can help to make the salad.”
Gwendolyn was great at making salads. Hence, she got to work right away.
Meanwhile, Juliette leaned against Patrick in the living room while watching a cartoon. He stared at the child in his arms, who appeared to be a carbon copy of Gwendolyn. For whatever reason, the more he looked at the girl, the fonder he was of her.
It seemed that he really adored Juliette the moment he had laid eyes on her. He felt a sense of affinity when he looked at the girl as though they had already known each other for a long time.
“Juliette, you can always give me a call no matter what happens in the future, all right? I'm only next door.”
Juliette was staring at Peppa Pig that was airing on the TV when she heard this. Her brows furrowed slightly.
“But, my brothers say that you're not a good person, and they won't let me tell you anything about our family.”
She did not understand them, but she knew she liked Patrick because he was the most good-looking person she had ever seen. Moreover, he also resembled her brothers, so she felt a special connection with him.
Patrick was well aware that the other two boys disliked him. He used to think that if he could just win over Gwendolyn, the three kids would follow suit.
Now, it seemed like he would have to win over the three children first in order to have a blissful life.
“Juliette, I did do something wrong in the past. However, I've changed and will treat Gwen well wholeheartedly from now on. Are you willing to help me? I want to pursue her.”
Juliette's large eyes stared fixedly at the man when she heard that.
“Do you really like Gwen? Are you willing to become our daddy too?”
Patrick raised a brow. “Of course. You can call me Daddy from now on.”
The girl blinked her large eyes. I really want to call him Daddy! Since young, all my friends had their daddies except me. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
This was also a source of pain to the girl. She turned her gaze to the dining room's entrance, then to the stairwell.
Next, she stood on the couch and inched closer to Patrick's ear.
“Daddy! Daddy!”
She burst out giggling after saying those words.
Patrick's heart skipped a beat as a remarkable emotion spread across his chest. His eyes darkened faintly.
Juliette hugged his neck and whispered again, “Daddy, I miss you. I've missed you so much.”
The man's eyes turned watery when he saw her expression. It was apparent that the child missed her father.
He placed her on his lap and patted her head gently.
“Sweetheart, you're my daughter from now on.”
His heart ached for Juliette immensely. Since he fancied Gwendolyn, he naturally adored her children.
At this moment, the other two boys came down the stairs. Juliette immediately got up from Patrick's lap and widened the gap between them.
There was a gleam of helplessness in her gaze. However, she was obedient and obeyed her two brothers.
Justin and Julian returned to the living room, and the former shot Patrick a cold glare.
“Mr. Lowen, we'd better meet less in the future. My mommy has to date. If you keep appearing, it will affect her prospects of getting a boyfriend.”
Julian chimed in, “Let this be our last dinner, then!”
Patrick swept his gaze across the two boys. They were both good-looking and exuded a refined aura. He was confident that they would become extremely successful in the future.
His slender fingers fidgeted with the wolf-embellished ring on his finger, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.
“I'm currently pursuing Gwendolyn.”
