Chapter 293


    Kevin could not help butugh. “Babe, did I even say that? Why? Do you feel like doing it with me


    now?”


    A faint smile crept on Estelle''s face as she rolled her eyes at him. “I was just giving you a warning.”


    Gwendolyn looked at Kevin and Estelle from the side. She could tell that Kevin liked his young girlfriend


    a lot.


    Patrick stared at her intently. “What are you looking at?”


    Following her gaze, he looked in the direction of where Kevin and Estelle were standing. Upon realizing


    that Gwendolyn was staring at them, he furrowed his brows slightly. “Do you like that girl?”


    Gwendolyn retracted her gaze and stared into his deep eyes. “She''s young and adorable. Also, she


    has quite a personality. I feel she looks like the old me.”


    Her expression changed a little as she uttered thest sentence. It seemed like she was reminiscing.


    Before she turned eighteen, she was the precious daughter of the Ashton family. Not only did her


    grandfather dote her a lot, but everyone else treated her well too. Moreover, she was also a capricious,


    stubborn youngdy.


    Unfortunately, after that incident, she had no choice but to endure everything she should not have


    encountered at that age.


    She became a mother out of the blue, and her life started getting rough too. Since then, no one loved


    or doted on her anymore.


    She had to bear the responsibility of taking care of her three children herself. That was why she


    changed into someone who was no longer as confident as in the past. Moreover, she lost the courage


    to love whoever she wanted.


    At that thought, Gwendolyn let out a sigh. Sometimes, if you lose something, you''ll lose it forever.


    Hence, she thought of herself in the past when she looked at Estelle just now. Back then, she was


    lively and innocent, just like Estelle. She used to look that youthful, and her eyes were always full of


    contempt and disdain.


    Suddenly, Patrick grabbed her arms and wrapped them around his neck. He then hugged her waist and


    pulled her closer into his embrace. Standing close to each other, they continued dancing.


    Gwendolyn narrowed her eyes and smiled as the faint fragrance on Patrick''s body wafted into her


    nose. With him, she felt like she had found the feelings of being pampered and loved in the past.


    Patrick''s lips were so close to her ear. She felt a tickling sensation in her ear as his warm breath


    lingered close to her.


    “Gwen, you''re more beautiful and charming than Ms. Blenheim. You''re special.” To Patrick, Gwendolyn


    was iparable. She was always the most gorgeous and unique woman in his eyes.


    That youngdy doesn''t even deserve to getpared with Gwen.


    Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn broke intoughter. Lifting her face, she gazed at his mask and his dark


    eyes.


    Although Patrick was wearing a mask, he was as handsome and charming as ever. Gwendolyn could


    feel her heart pounding fast after ncing at him.


    “Patrick, you''re being overprotective.”


    Patrick was unfazed by her remark. He lifted a brow, saying, “I''m just telling the truth.”Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    A bright smile bloomed on Gwendolyn''s face again. His words were so sweet that anyone would be


    delighted if they heard that.


    Felicia, who stood at the side of the dance floor, was infuriated. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn''t


    even change into this green dress! I should''ve worn that red evening dress here.


    Now that she looked at her green dress, she felt extremely irritated.


    Turning around, she walked out of the room. After taking back her clothes and bag, she took out her


    phone and got in her car. Her driver had been waiting at the entrance.


    All her subordinates were afraid of her. After all, Felicia was a bad-tempered woman. She would fire


    them if they made a single mistake.


    Therefore, the housekeepers in the Ashton residence had to be extra cautious when they were facing


    Felicia. They did not dare to say anything to her even if they were displeased.


    Felicia dialed Candace''s number and said, “Mom, didn''t you say that you''ll find someone to get rid of


    Gwendolyn? I hope she''ll disappear from this world tomorrow!”


    She was so angry that could not wait any longer. I really hope that Gwendolyn will die tonight!


    Right then, Candace was binge-watching TV shows in her bedroom. Upon hearing what Felicia said,


    she lowered the volume of the television. “What''s wrong, Sweetheart?”


    “Mom, didn''t I tell you I''ll apany a friend to a birthday party today? Gwendolyn is also here. Do you


    know what''s worse? She came with Patrick. My friends are all making fun of me. They''ll never hang out


    with me again in the future.” Felicia choked back a sob as she spoke.
