Alice's face was calm. Up until now, Patrick had yet to return.

Thus, she had no choice but to handle this matter.

In a light voice, she answered, “Love is not something we elders have control over. What century are

we living in? If the kids are unwilling, then forcing them to marry would only make them miserable.

Don't you think so, Mr. Ashton?”

Zachary was rendered speechless. He looked over at Felicia.

“Fel, is your relationship with Patrick going well?”

After Felicia heard her father's question, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes.

There was no love or relationship between her and Patrick at all. She wished there was, but he only

ever spoke to her about contracts. He was only ever willing to give her money.

Her gaze shifted around. She wasn't sure what to say.

Even though Patrick wasn't around, she didn't dare to speak out of turn.

“Dad, this is between Patrick and me. You guys shouldn't try to interfere.”

With that, she got up to leave.

Felicia couldn't lie anymore. Furthermore, she had no idea what was the reason behind what had

happened the night before.

Right now, she had become the laughing stock of everyone in Avenport. Everyone was waiting to see

her get ridiculed.

She was mad, but she had no right to ask Patrick for an explanation. After all, they were nothing but

parties to a contract. It was her own fault for being useless and failing to secure Patrick's heart.

Seeing his daughter walk away, Zachary sighed. Candace was in a tough position as well. She felt like

Felicia had changed.

If it were her from the past, she would have stood beside her parents and demanded an explanation

from the Lowen family.

Candace got up. “Darling, let's go home for now. We'll let Fel deal with it.”

After saying that, she took an icy glance over at Alice. Despite her desire to get closer to the Lowen

family, what Patrick did the day before had utterly humiliated their family.

Candace had no idea how to explain this to Michael.

Watching the trio leave, Alice let out a sigh as her gaze darkened.

“Pat, since you've made this decision, good luck!”

Juliette had to be hospitalized for the night for observation. Hence, not a single one of them left the

ward.

There was an extra bed inside the ward. Both Justin and Julian slept on it together. Meanwhile,

Gwendolyn slept in the same hospital bed as Juliette.

By the time Juliette was done receiving her IV drip, it was already six o'clock in the morning. Both

Justin and Julian had fallen asleep earlier. Gwendolyn had stayed up to make sure Juliette finished her

IV drip before going to bed.

Patrick stayed up to watch Juliette finish receiving her IV drip as well. However, he had to sleep on the

couch. Due to his tall figure, he was not able to get much sleep on the tiny couch.

The next morning at about nine o'clock, Gwendolyn woke up. The first thing she noticed was the man

curled up on the couch.

His long legs were bent and curled to one side as he slept on his side.

She quietly got up to put a thin quilt over him.

Staring at his handsome face, she couldn't help but think of what had happened the night before. In her

moment of despair, his appearance had made her feel safe.

In the car, the scene of him rubbing her legs to keep her warm still made her heart flutter tremendously.

This man was really good to her.

She had seen on the entertainment news that Patrick had canceled his engagement. It was most likely

that he had abandoned his banquet and guests to head straight to them.

At the thought of that, she gazed at him for quite some time.

Meanwhile, Patrick was already awake. He was a light sleeper, so he woke up the moment Gwendolyn

put the quilt over him.

He was quite tired, so he had intended to continue resting a while more. Unexpectedly, Gwendolyn

wouldn't stop staring at him until he felt goosebumps all over his body. Hence, he decided just to get

up. He then pulled her over to sit on his lap.

Patrick's manly scent suddenly surrounded her, causing Gwendolyn to be stunned as she opened her

eyes wide.

Patrick wrapped his arms around her slim waist.

In a deep, magnetic voice, he asked, “Am I very nice to stare at?”

Gwendolyn was dumbfounded. Her face blushed red as she shoved him away.

“Mr. Lowen, I don't know what you're talking about.”

She struggled to free herself because she was embarrassed. A man that had just woken up was very

irresistible. That was how Gwendolyn was feeling right now.
