Chapter 150
She looked exceptionally stunning, and she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Looking at her, he felt a moment of peace in his heart as though all his worries had been cleared.
It was past eleven o''clock at night after all the fireworks were set off. The three children were
exhausted too.
Gwendolyn brought them back to their room and put them to sleep. Meanwhile, Patrick sat in the yard,
holding a cigarette between his fingers.
It was dead silent in the mountain. The only sound they could hear from time to time was theughter
of the people on the opposite side of the mountain who were in the hot springs.
Liam stood aside and apanied Patrick, looking at the starry sky.
Suddenly, Patrick questioned, “Liam, do you think family affection is more important than love?”
He wanted to marry this woman even though she already had children. The fact did not seem to bother
him at all.
However, he could not bear to go against his grandfather who might copse at any time, as thetter
was not in good health.
As a result, he was in a dilemma.
He wished he could give her happiness, but he could not marry her for the time being.
It was a difficult question that left Liam pondering for a long time before he replied, “I guess family
affection matters more!”
Love might not be eternal, but the bond between family members would not break apart that easily.
Family members were the ones who would stick around through thick and thin for a long time.
Patrick took a heavy puff on his cigarette without saying a word.
At that point, Liam could tell from Patrick''s solemn expression that thetter was not in a good mood.
Nheless, Liam could not seem to tell what was on Patrick''s mind, and he dared probe further
either.
They returned to the city on the next day.
As soon as the car stopped at Snowy Lane, Liam opened the door for them. Justin got out of the car
first and reached out to help Juliette.
Gwendolyn hopped off after all her children had gotten out of the car.
Patrick, who was sitting in the backseat, wound down the window, revealing his chiseled profile.
“Mr. Lowen, thank you for taking us out,” said Gwendolyn.

Following that, the three children said in unison, “Thank you, Mr. Lowen!”
Patrick turned to look at them and replied calmly, “You''re wee! Just work harder in the future if you
wish to repay my kindness, Ms. Ashton.”
Gwendolyn immediately grabbed the gist behind his words.
Nodding, she replied, “I got it, Mr. Lowen. Bye!”
The three kids entered the house after the car drove off. As Gwendolyn walked back, Tommy strode
toward her.
“Gwen, when are you going to pay the money? It''s been two weeks, and thepany is rushing me!”
Only then did Gwendolyn get reminded of that matter. “I''m sorry, Tommy! I''ll ask her if she has sold the
house. We''ll transfer the money as soon as the house gets sold.”
Tommy''s expression grew grimmer as he replied, “If you don''t pay us on time ording to the contract,
the interest will keep increasing.”
Gwendolyn knew about the interest, too. “Okay, we''ll make sure to pay by this week.”
Tommy heaved out a sigh of relief. “Okay. I''ll ry your message to thepany. Don''t forget it.”
“Thank you, Tommy,” said Gwendolyn.
As soon as she got home, she texted Lucy: Luce, have you sold your house? They are urging us to pay
the five hundred thousand by this week.
Nevertheless, Lucy did not reply. Gwendolyn thought Lucy might still be sleeping, so she did not disturb
her.
Gwendolyn changed into a ck zer with a preppy skirt, fis stockings, and ck boots.
Standing in front of the mirror and looking at herself, she thought she looked much younger in that
attire.
Right then, Justin entered the room. “Mommy, don''t forget that your ss starts today.”
Gwendolyn grabbed her bag and walked over to him.
“I''m going to go to ss now, and I won''t let you down.”
