Chapter 53
Gwendolyn limped out of the security room.
Ugh, I''m so unlucky recently. I can''t believe someone robbed me in the mall! That''s really unfortunate.
She then took the elevator back to the yground on the third floor. Juliette was drenched in sweat
after ying hard, and Julian was wiping her sweat off. Justin got his sister a cup of water and was
telling her to finish it.

At the sight of Gwendolyn, the kids waited in their spots obediently.
The boys soon realized she was limping and dashed forward to help her.
“Mommy, did you sprain your ankle?”
Gwendolyn forced out a smile when she heard the concern in their voices.
“The floor was too slippery, so I slipped and sprained my ankle,” she exined.
She didn''t reveal the truth to the kids so that they wouldn''t get upset like her.
Hearing that, Juliette got Gwendolyn''s tumbler and said, “Gwen, have some water.”
Gwendolyn took the tumbler from Juliette and took a few sips of water as her heart warmed up. Finally,
she felt much better.
Beaming, she told the kids, “Go have some fun. I''ll wait for you here.”
Delighted, Juliette dragged her brothers into the yground and continued ying.
Resting her chin in her palm, Gwendolyn stared ahead listlessly. Perhaps the ring isn''t fated to be mine.
I might not find that scum, ever. It was fate that led me to lose the ring.
At a golf course in the suburbs, the weather was great. The sky was blue without any clouds in sight. It
was wintertime, but the sunlight was warm and cozy.
Holding his golf club, Kevin posed in a handsome manner before swinging the club out. The ball flew
through the air, but it didn''t enter the cup.
Lucas Gomez, who was standing aside, chortled joyfully. “Kev, we haven''t met for some time, but your
skills are still as bad as ever.”
Patrick swung his golf club, and the ball entered the cup seamlessly.
Kevin responded, “Ugh, I give up. I''m no match for you.”
Lucas was a major-general in the military, so they rarely get to meet up with him. He had returned this
time because his grandfather forced him to attend blind dates. As he was no longer young, it was time
for him to get married and have children.
The three of them went to the marble table to rest for a short while and drink some water.
Kevin was d in a white tracksuit and white cap. He reached out to pull his cap down to cover his
eyes.
His friends sitting across from him looked ssy in their ck tracksuits.
Lucas'' skin was more tanned than his friends.
Patrick was fairer than him, but he had a healthyplexion instead of being deathly pale.
ncing at his watch, he realized it was about four in the afternoon. Thus, he whipped his phone out to
type a text to Gwendolyn.
Patrick: I want fondue for dinner.
After the text was sent, he held his phone and waited for her reply.
As he kept ncing at his phone, the other two men grew increasingly annoyed.
Lucas inquired, “Pat, do you really have a girlfriend?”
After Lucas returnedst night, Kevin met up with him to have dinner together. Lucas had also asked
Patrick out, but thetter imed to be busy and didn''t join them for dinner.
Kevin kept telling him that Patrick couldn''t make it because he had to keep his girlfriendpany.
Lucas didn''t trust Kevin''s words. Kevin might be a good doctor, but he wasn''t a trustable person.
Patrick got to his feet. “I''ll go shower and get changed now.”
Clearly, he didn''t want to continue the conversation. Lucas was disappointed to hear that. He nced
at Kevin, and both men stood up. They flung their arms around Patrick and sandwiched him.
“Pat, let''s have dinner at your house. It''s been a while since we''ve drank together.”
Under their expectant gazes, Patrick answered, “Sure.”
He strode forward and made sure he was out of their reach before sending another text to Gwendolyn.
Patrick: You don''t have toe tonight. It''s your day off!
