Chapter 698 Someone Is In A Good Mood

Rosalie grew furious as she listened to Gwendolyn's explanation. “As I said, the ring belongs to me. It's a gift from my boyfriend. You can only blame yourself for losing your ring. Don't take what's mine as yours.”

Gwendolyn was acting strangely that night. She would never have behaved in such a manner if she was her usual self.

However, she could not control herself that particular night. She did not want to see Patrick alone with Rosalie. That was why she would barge into the house so shamelessly and was not even afraid of catching cockroaches.

Little did she imagine that she would actually find her missing ring there.

Indeed, she was brusque and put others off with her lack of manners.

However, she could not control herself from acting that way.

Standing a short distance away, Patrick had been quietly watching the situation. When Gwendolyn claimed the ring belonged to her, he was secretly overjoyed.

It was because he already felt a sense of familiarity when he met her for the first time.

And now, he could finally be sure that Gwendolyn was the woman he met back then.

Gwendolyn's gaze remained fixed on Rosalie's neck. She wanted that ring back.

Anger rushed through Rosalie. “Mrs. Surrington, please ask your husband to get a similar ring for you if you like it this much. Don't snatch mine, okay?”

She then pointed at the door. “Please get out. We don't welcome you here.”

Gwendolyn sighed. It's only natural that she's unhappy after what I did. After all, I ruined her plan. And now, I even want her ring. There's no way she's not angry.

Without a choice, she turned and walked toward the door. Before she left, she called out, “Mr. Lowen, I came together with you. Do you mind sending me back?”

Rosalie hastily clung to Patrick's arm. “Pat has to keep me company. Go back on your own. You can hail a cab or call your husband to fetch you home.”

As she spoke, she held her head high and stared daggers at Gwendolyn. She'd better know her place! She's a married woman. How can she still try to seduce Pat?

Gwendolyn's mind was in a mess. She had lost the confidence she had earlier when she first arrived, and neither could she be bothered about Patrick anymore. All she wanted was to get the ring back.

As such, she stepped forward and strutted out. Patrick could only frigidly watch her leave.

Upon seeing Gwendolyn finally gone, Rosalie briskly walked over to close the door. As the door slammed shut, she let out a sigh of relief.

She's finally gone. What an annoying woman!

“Pat, have a seat! I've sobered up right on time. Let's have a drink.”

Patrick was in a great mood at that moment as he could finally be sure that the woman from six years ago was Gwendolyn. So, those three kids are mine, yes? I've fulfilled the task Grandpa and Grandma assigned me tonight, and what's more, it's three grandchildren. I'm sure the two of them will be over the moon.

“Sure. Pour me a glass.”

At the dining table, he took the glass of wine Rosalie handed him, gave it a light swirl, and took a sip.

A faint smile appeared on his handsome face. “Good wine.”

In any case, he would think it tasted good, even if he was drinking vinegar. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After all, he was in a good mood.

Rosalie was delighted to hear that. “Have a few more glasses if that's the case!”

Right then, Patrick shifted his attention to the ring on her neck. “Any intention to sell this ring?” he queried.

To him, that ring was something worth commemorating.

Gwen says it was stolen. No wonder I didn't see it previously.

Rosalie shook her head repeatedly. “If you want, Pat, I can give it to you.”

Patrick took another sip of the wine, looking nonchalant.

With a hand on his phone, he sent Justin a text message.

Are you and Julian free tomorrow? I'd like to meet you guys.

He decided not to play tricks like stealing hair or whatsoever again. This time, he wanted to bring the two boys to the hospital for a blood test.

Where exactly did things go wrong the other time? Until now, Patrick could not wrap his head around that.

It must be related to Kev. Something must've happened on his side.
