Chapter 172


    Patrick cast his eyes upon Gwendolyn and replied, “Of course. She''s worth it.”


    However, Gwendolyn was in the dark about Patrick''s intention and could not help but give stink eyes,


    as she presumed the ne was for Felicia. What has she done to deserve a handsome boyfriend


    who just bought her an unreasonably expensive ne? It''s not fair. A wicked woman like her should


    end up as a spinster.


    Little did she know that three men were staring at her bitter face at that moment.


    Lucas found it amusing, and Kevin was rendered speechless. They were well aware that Gwendolyn


    was not an ordinary woman they could mess with, but they did not understand why Patrick would fall


    head over heels for her.


    Soon, the crowd left when the auction was over, and the assistants of the three men went to pay and


    collect the items their bosses had bid.


    Standing up, Gwendolyn looked at the three men. “Mr. Lowen, shall we go back now?”


    As a matter of fact, the three-hour-long auction was lengthy and tedious for Gwendolyn when she had


    to listen to the background and characteristics of every single lot.


    Perhaps this is how rich people spend their time. They like to dabble in antiques with stories. Anyway,


    it''s time for me to go back to see my kids. After such a long day, I miss them so badly.


    Patrick nced at his watch and stated, “Let''s go for dinner before going home.”


    Patrick nced at his watch and stated, “Let''s go for dinner before going home.”


    Feeling helpless, Gwendolyn could only follow his words despite her urge to go home. After all, Patrick


    was her boss.


    When everyone went down to the ground floor, they bumped into a woman who was the proprietor of


    the antique shop. Thetter walked over after catching sight of Patrick.


    “Mr. Lowen, thanks foring,” greeted the woman as she shook hands with Patrick.


    The woman was Lucia Larson. She dressed in quaint clothing, looking stunning with her gorgeous


    features.


    “Ms. Larson, your antiques are exquisite,” Patrick greeted politely.


    In truth, he knew Lucia always had a crush on him, but he had no feelings for her and would avoid her


    as much as he could. He would not even attend the auction if it was not for Gwendolyn.


    “Mr. Lowen, I heard you''ll be engaged. That is such a shame for me. Do tell me when you''re divorced,


    though. I''ll always be here for you,” said Lucia as her eyes tinged with sorrow.

    Upon hearing Lucia''s words, Gwendolyn was astounded.


    Patrick is so popr, as he seems to have admirers everywhere. However, I know one thing for sure—


    thisdy is far better than Felicia. Not only is she beautiful, but she also owns a well-known antique


    shop. Judging from the pomp of the auction just now, I believe she is quite a powerful woman. Patrick


    should have chosen her in the first ce.


    In the meantime, Kevin reached out to shake hands with Lucia with a yful smirk and flirtatious winks.


    “Ms. Larson, take a good look at me. I could be your Mr. Right.”


    With a faint smile, Lucia responded, “Mr. Chavez, I''m a person who is only faithful to the man I love.”


    As Lucia spoke, her gaze fell on Patrick.


    On the contrary, Patrick fixed his eyes on Gwendolyn.


    Me too. I''m only faithful to the woman I love. I bought this ne just to tell her I want to spend my


    lifetime loving and protecting her.


    Later, Lucas chipped in, and everyone bid Lucia farewell after a brief conversation.


    There were not many cars left in the parking lot when they stepped out of the antique shop, including


    Zayden''s car.


    It turned out that Zayden had not left; he was sitting in his car with his disgruntled mother.
