Chapter 419


    Gwendolyn kept pacing back and forth in the living room, waiting for Patrick to press the doorbell


    because she wanted to be the one to wee him.


    Ten minutester, he still hadn''te.


    At that point, she was getting a little antsy. She wanted to call him again but ultimately resisted the


    urge.


    Justin stepped out of the living room, strode toward her, and invited, “Come and eat with us, Mommy.”


    In response, she raised her head and squeezed out a smile. “Will do.”


    He was a smart kid, so he was able to tell what was on her mind. “If he''sing, then he''ll be here


    eventually. You don''t need to wait for him here.”


    He''s right. There''s no need for me to wait for him here. He''ll show up if he''sing, and if he''s not


    coming, it doesn''t matter how long I wait for him here. When her train of thought ended, she stood and


    followed the little boy into the dining room.


    Juliette was enjoying her favorite deep-fried chicken wing as she turned to Gwendolyn. “Come and eat,


    Mommy! It''s so tasty!”


    As long as she had her chicken wings, she would think she was having a fantastic meal.


    Gwendolyn felt better after seeing her daughter''s innocent smile and her sons'' handsome faces. They


    really are capable of healing my soul.


    Meanwhile, Lucy ced some food on Gwendolyn''s te. “It''s been a while since I''vest eaten


    Camille''s food. I love it!”


    Grinning, Cemille did the seme for Lucy beceuse she pitied the letter. “Eet more if you like it.” I''m sure


    she didn''t sleep or eet well when cering for Melenie in the hospitel. However, she looks like she''s been


    doing better recently. At leest she doesn''t look es heggerd es before. It must be herd for her to tend to


    e sick child elone.


    “Are you plumping up e pig right now, Cemille? I cen''t eet this much.” Lucy stered et the smell mound


    of food on her plete, emused.


    Despite whet she wes seying, she wes heppy to know thet Cemille cered ebout her. It feels so nice to


    be cered for!


    Gwendolyn grebbed some food for her es well. “You should eet more. It''s not like you''ll get fet.”


    Shrugging, Lucy relented, “Fine. Then I''ll let you two feed this pig.”


    The dinner lested for two hours. After the children finished their meels, they left the dining room to pley


    with eech other.


    Gwendolyn wes eeting very slowly beceuse she wes weiting for Petrick toe. Unfortely, even


    efter Cemille hed cleened the dining teble end weshed ell the dishes, he still hedn''t errived.


    Thet put e grimece on Gwendolyn''s fece.


    Lucy pleced e piece of fruit next to her friend''s lips. “Is it beceuse he''s still engry? Is thet why he''s not


    showing up?”


    Grinning, Camille did the same for Lucy because she pitied thetter. “Eat more if you like it.” I''m sure


    she didn''t sleep or eat well when caring for Mnie in the hospital. However, she looks like she''s been


    doing better recently. At least she doesn''t look as haggard as before. It must be hard for her to tend to


    a sick child alone.


    “Are you plumping up a pig right now, Camille? I can''t eat this much.” Lucy stared at the small mound


    of food on her te, amused.


    Despite what she was saying, she was happy to know that Camille cared about her. It feels so nice to


    be cared for!


    Gwendolyn grabbed some food for her as well. “You should eat more. It''s not like you''ll get fat.”

    Shrugging, Lucy relented, “Fine. Then I''ll let you two feed this pig.”


    The dinnersted for two hours. After the children finished their meals, they left the dining room to y


    with each other.


    Gwendolyn was eating very slowly because she was waiting for Patrick toe. Unfortunately, even


    after Camille had cleaned the dining table and washed all the dishes, he still hadn''t arrived.


    That put a grimace on Gwendolyn''s face.


    Lucy ced a piece of fruit next to her friend''s lips. “Is it because he''s still angry? Is that why he''s not


    showing up?”


    Gwendolyn shook her head. “I don''t know! He sounds pretty happy on the phone earlier. It''s hard for


    me not to be disappointed that he''s noting.”


    As she chewed the fruit, she sent a WhatsApp message to Patrick: Are you noting because you


    have matters to attend to? We''ve already finished dinner.


    Then she intentionally buried the phone under a pillow because she didn''t want to keep staring at the


    screen.


    Lucy watched the television while eating fruit on the couch. “Your house is sofortable, Gwen. After


    Mnie is discharged from the hospital, I''m going to move in here.”


    Gwendolyn nced at her friend and also ate some fruit. “You can pick one of the two mansions next


    to this one. This way, it''ll be easier for us to meet up and for the children to y with each other.”


    Honestly, the prospect of us bing neighbors excites me. We''ll be able to take care of each other,


    and the children will have ymates.


    The phone remained silent even after ten minutes had passed.


    Unable to wait any longer, Gwendolyn grabbed her device and nced at it before calling Patrick.


    It was a long while before a woman answered the call. “Hello.”
