Chapter 209


    Patrick rolled his eyes at her and said, “There''s no need for that.”


    Holding the set of clothes, he then returned to his bedroom.


    Liam stood at the door and watched him stride to the guest room. He then headed back into his room.


    When Patrick came out of the room, he had put on the ck suit with a white shirt and the knitted beige


    sweater from Gwendolyn.


    Walking up to him, Liam stated, “Mr. Lowen, the Ashton family has arrived.”


    If we head over now, people will surely criticize us for having no manners.


    Those were the words Liam dared not say aloud and kept to himself.


    Patrick did not respond and headed downstairs right away.

    It was already half-past one in the afternoon when they arrived at Voyage Hotel.


    After leaving the house, Patrick had picked a restaurant of his liking to have a meal at, as he was


    unsure whether he would have an appetite in the afternoon.


    A group of people followed him and dared not say much. It was only after Patrick finished eating and


    drinking to his heart''s content that they headed to Voyage Hotel.


    When he stepped into the banquet hall, many eyes were on him, including those of the housekeepers


    from the Ashton family and the waiters at the hotel. His charming features and cold demeanor had


    caught their attention.


    A few housekeepers from the Ashton family whispered, “Mr. Lowen is so handsome!”


    “You''re right! Ms. Gwendolyn is very lucky.”


    Felicia, who sat in the lounge, panicked when Patrick had not arrived after a long time and constantly


    asked someone to look for him.


    Just then, Felicia''s housekeeper, Sarah, dashed back to the lounge.


    “Ms. Felicia, Mr. Lowen is here. He looks so handsome!” Sarah eximed while covering her mouth


    with her hands exaggeratedly.


    Shooting her a cold re, Felicia snapped back at her, “Stop fangirling over him. He''s mine.”


    Nodding vigorously, Sarah replied, “Yes, yes. He''s yours, Ms. Felicia.”


    Felicia rose to her feet and wanted to look for Patrick as she thought she should be by his side during


    such an asion.


    She was wearing a bright red evening gown, giving off the vibe of thedy of the house.


    Lifting her gown, she stood up when Candace called out, “Fel, where are you going?”


    Apparently, Felicia was not supposed to leave now, as the bride should only show upst to surprise


    everyone.


    Pouting her lips, Felicia said, “Mom, I want to go and see Patrick. Since he did not try on the suit that


    day, I''m afraid it might not fit him.”


    I have trimmed many parts of the suit that needed modification anyway.


    Candaceughed and said, “Fel, can''t you tell with that body proportion of his? He is like a model who


    can pull off anything he wears.”


    Felicia pondered for a moment and agreed.


    ncing at her body, she noticed she had gained some weighttely, as she couldn''t control her


    craving for food, despite trying hard to lose weight.


    Fortunately, she could still fit into the evening gown. Otherwise, she would genuinely regret what she


    did.


    In the afternoon, Zayden had someone send the evening gown to Gwendolyn''s ce. When the three


    children saw the box in her hands, Juliette asked, “Gwen, what is that?”


    Shaking her head, Gwendolyn replied, “I don''t know either. It''s from Zayden.”


    Juliette''s eyes sparkled as she eximed, “It must be good stuff. He probably bought me a Barbie doll!”


    Having figured out what was in the box, Julian and Justin raised their bows and smiled. Mommy is so


    dumb. Of course, it''s matching clothes since she promised to be his femalepanion.


    After returning to the living room, Juliette urged, “Gwen, hurry up and open it.”


    shing her a smile, Gwendolyn said, “All right! Don''t be so excited.”


    At that moment, she received a phone call from Zayden, and so she answered the call first.


    “Gwen, does the evening gown fit? Remember to do your makeup.”


    Zayden nned to show everyone that night that Gwendolyn was his woman.


    At the thought of announcing the news during Patrick''s engagement party, he thought things were


    getting more interesting.


    Although the two most influential families in Avenport seemed to get along well with each other in the


    eyes of others, they werepeting with each other secretly. This time, the marriage of convenience of


    the Lowen family caused an uproar.
