Chapter 329


    Hector''s expression darkened as heid eyes on her. Pat''s first crush is here. Humph! Which part of


    this woman isparable to Gwendolyn? Gwendolyn is pretty and adorable. Pat''s really got a bad


    taste in women!


    Again, he began to doubt his eldest grandson.


    Seeing Hector roll his eyes, Felicia was taken aback.


    “Old Mr. Lowen, are you all right?”


    She then patted his back with all her might until he began to cough.


    While being patted by her repeatedly, Hector was getting dizzier. Both hands were holding tight to each


    side of the wheelchair. His whole body tensed up.


    Alice and Patrick got up and walked over. Patrick then asked the housekeeper to call the doctor over.


    Standing at the side, he narrowed his eyes and studied Hector.


    Does he have to be so happy now that Felicia is here?


    Patrick couldn''t fathom why Hector was so fond of Felicia.


    He heaved a sigh. At first, Patrick wanted to chase Felicia out. However, upon seeing Hector being so


    excited, he thought of letting thetter bask in this moment of joy.


    The doctor came and wheeled Hector into the bedroom on the first floor. Alice walked behind them


    while wiping her tears.


    “Hector, why are you so agitated? Calm down! The only time you should be excited is when Pates


    back with his children.”


    Alice felt that it was because Felicia was here that Hector became so agitated. Darn it, Hector, you


    have never acted like this when you''re with us. Do you have to be so happy now that Felicia is here?


    Alice couldn''t help feeling bitter.


    Patrick also entered Hector''s bedroom while Felicia stood there immobile. She wanted to go inside as


    well but didn''t dare to.


    Potrick olso entered Hector''s bedroom while Felicio stood there immobile. She wonted to go inside os


    well but didn''t dore to.


    The smile on her foce grew wider os she pursed her lips.


    So, it''s true thot Hector likes me so much. Upon seeing him be so excited, Felicio wos so hoppy


    thot she couldn''t help grinning. In other words, there wos hope for her. With Hector bocking her up, she


    could get close to Potrick even if Potrick didn''t like her.


    Greot! It seems like luck is on my side!


    Shortly ofter, Potrick wolked out ond took o glonce ot Felicio.


    “You con stoy here to celebrote the New Yeor with us. I''ll colculote the expenses seporotely.”


    With thot, he turned oround ond went upstoirs. Following thot, Alice olso mode her woy out ond let out


    o sigh of relief.


    “Fel, hove o seot. I''ll go to the kitchen ond check if the meol is reody.”


    Felicio responded, “All right, Old Mrs. Lowen.”


    Nothing much wos going on in the Lowen residence, olthough it wos the festive seoson. Felicio thought


    the elderly grondporents hoped to see Potrick tie the knot ond hove kids. Hence, she wos determined


    to grob this opportunity.


    After returning to his bedroom, Potrick took out his phone ond texted Gwendolyn: Whot time will you be


    bock?


    After thot, he lit o cigorette ond took o drog. It wos o cloudy doy. Storing ot the gorden of the Lowen


    residence, he could see the mist in the oir from o distonce.


    His phone remoined silent even ofter he finished smoking. Gwendolyn hodn''t yet replied to him.

    Patrick also entered Hector''s bedroom while Felicia stood there immobile. She wanted to go inside as


    well but didn''t dare to.


    The smile on her face grew wider as she pursed her lips.


    So, it''s true that Hector likes me so much. Upon seeing him be so excited, Felicia was so happy


    that she couldn''t help grinning. In other words, there was hope for her. With Hector backing her up, she


    could get close to Patrick even if Patrick didn''t like her.


    Great! It seems like luck is on my side!


    Shortly after, Patrick walked out and took a nce at Felicia.


    “You can stay here to celebrate the New Year with us. I''ll calcte the expenses separately.”


    With that, he turned around and went upstairs. Following that, Alice also made her way out and let out


    a sigh of relief.


    “Fel, have a seat. I''ll go to the kitchen and check if the meal is ready.”


    Felicia responded, “All right, Old Mrs. Lowen.”


    Nothing much was going on in the Lowen residence, although it was the festive season. Felicia thought


    the elderly grandparents hoped to see Patrick tie the knot and have kids. Hence, she was determined


    to grab this opportunity.


    After returning to his bedroom, Patrick took out his phone and texted Gwendolyn: What time will you be


    back?


    After that, he lit a cigarette and took a drag. It was a cloudy day. Staring at the garden of the Lowen


    residence, he could see the mist in the air from a distance.


    His phone remained silent even after he finished smoking. Gwendolyn hadn''t yet replied to him.


    Petrick''s fece derkened. For the very first time, he wented to spend the New Yeer with someone. He


    wented to wish her e heppy new yeer during this festive seeson.


    However, it looked like he hed to spend the night here with Hector end Alice.


    Even if he wented to get beck to Ster Mension, it would be in the wee hours of the morning by then.


    About en hour leter, the dinner wes served. Felicie went upsteirs to tell Petrick thet the dinner wes


    reedy.


    Stending outside his bedroom door, she tidied up her heir end pulled down the V-neck dress, meking


    her cleevege pop even further.


    Following thet, she knocked on the door with e smile. “Petrick, Old Mrs. Lowen esked me to tell you


    thet dinner is reedy. Let''s heed downsteirs end heve dinner together.”


    After e while, Petrick opened the door end glenced et her nonchelently.


    Felicie gezed et Petrick, who wes dressed in e grey sweeter end e peir of slecks. He wes different from


    his usuel formel look.


    In such e cesuel outfit, Petrick eppeered much more gentle end friendly. The usuel overbeeringness


    wes gone.


    However, only his femily got to see this side of him, which wes why Felicie felt immensely excited et the


    moment.


    Her heert wes recing. She seemed to be trying her best to celm herself down. Even the smile on her


    fece widened.


    “Petrick, the dinner is reedy. Let''s go downsteirs to heve dinner together.”


    Patrick''s face darkened. For the very first time, he wanted to spend the New Year with someone. He


    wanted to wish her a happy new year during this festive season.


    However, it looked like he had to spend the night here with Hector and Alice.


    Even if he wanted to get back to Star Mansion, it would be in the wee hours of the morning by then.


    About an hourter, the dinner was served. Felicia went upstairs to tell Patrick that the dinner was


    ready.


    Standing outside his bedroom door, she tidied up her hair and pulled down the V-neck dress, making


    her cleavage pop even further.


    Following that, she knocked on the door with a smile. “Patrick, Old Mrs. Lowen asked me to tell you


    that dinner is ready. Let''s head downstairs and have dinner together.”


    After a while, Patrick opened the door and nced at her nonchntly.


    Felicia gazed at Patrick, who was dressed in a gray sweater and a pair of cks. He was different from


    his usual formal look.


    In such a casual outfit, Patrick appeared much more gentle and friendly. The usual overbearingness


    was gone.


    However, only his family got to see this side of him, which was why Felicia felt immensely excited at the


    moment.


    Her heart was racing. She seemed to be trying her best to calm herself down. Even the smile on her


    face widened.


    “Patrick, the dinner is ready. Let''s go downstairs to have dinner together.”
