Chapter 717 Watching Over Him From A Distance
Patrick left Melanie's room and stood outside the door. Seeing his family members in there but not being able to join them made him feel terrible.
Kevin showed up at that moment, adjusting his glasses as he spotted his friend leaning against the door.
He sighed internally upon seeing Patrick's dejected expression. It was rare for the man to look like that.
Why doesn't he ever share how he feels? I can never tell what he's thinking.
Kevin walked over and called out to him.
“Hey, Pat. Have you not told them yet?”
He's already gotten proof that the kids are his, and given how Gwen would never leave her children, she'd naturally divorce Zayden and be with Pat!
Patrick immediately returned to his usual aloof demeanor. “It's still not time yet.”
He then strode toward the stairs, leaving Kevin dumbfounded.
Why hasn't he told them anything? He nearly died trying to protect Gwendolyn and had a bullet stuck in his head, and now he's still staying quiet about the kids! How long does he plan on keeping all this to himself?
Upon arriving downstairs with the three children, Gwendolyn saw Estelle and the others and said, “Estelle! You look so pretty today!”
Estelle looked adorable in a JK uniform, with her hair in two high pigtails.
Many young girls dressed like this these days, and Gwendolyn was quite fond of that.
Estelle got up and made her way over.
“You look amazing yourself, Gwen! It's like you're only eighteen!”
As the two showered each other with compliments while heading into the kitchen, a scowl formed on Juliette's face.
“Why didn't Estelle call me pretty too?”
Just then, Melanie ran to her and took her by the hand.
“Let's go play with dolls, Juliette!”
Justin and Julian sighed. Is it that important for girls to compliment each other?
In the kitchen, Lucy had an apron on and was preparing some fondue seasoning. She made the best spicy fondue in the world, and Gwendolyn loved watching her prepare it.
The aroma enticed her as she watched the former fry some ingredients.
“It smells so good, Luce!”
Estelle agreed. “Right? I'm going to stuff myself later.”
Suddenly, Gwendolyn thought about Patrick. He can't tolerate spice and has a weak stomach. He's not supposed to have something so heavy either since he just had surgery.
With that in mind, she opened the refrigerator and took out some vegetables. “I'll cook up something a little milder for the kids.”
Lucy turned to her and smiled knowingly.
“Sure. The kids can't take something too spicy, anyway.”
Having grown up as a pampered princess in her family, Estelle knew nothing about cooking.
“Cooking is way too hard,” she remarked, standing nearby and watching the other two ladies.
Then, the thought of having to cook for her husband and children after getting married crossed her mind.
She opened her eyes wide and watched intently, hoping to learn whatever she could from Gwendolyn and Lucy.
The way to a man's heart was through his stomach, and Kevin was a bit of a ladies' man.
He's got so many women around him, even though I'm his girlfriend. What if he's only into me for a while and eventually gets bored of me?
The young woman felt dejected as she pictured that.
“Let me help you with that, Gwen!”
She wanted to learn from them. After all, one of these women had nabbed the one and only Patrick Lowen, while the other had won over the third heir of the prominent Gomez family.
Estelle believed that one day, she, too, could make Kevin hers.
The dishes Gwendolyn cooked were all Patrick's favorite, including pot roast, sauteed vegetables, and pork pies.
