Perfect CEO

Chapter 714 Refuse To Let Him Go

Despite what she said, she still clung to him firmly with no intention of letting him go.

Taking note of this grim expression which clearly indicated his sour mood, she pouted. “Forget it if you're unwilling to help me out. I'll just suffer a fall at most.”

With that, she released him reluctantly and continued to feign dizziness.

Patrick could discern from Gwendolyn's rapid blinking that she was lying. He was familiar with her tendency to blink rapidly whenever she was being dishonest. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

A faint smile graced his features as he pulled her back into his embrace.

“Do you need me to call for a doctor?”

Gwendolyn rejoiced internally while burying her head in his chest.

She shook her head. “It's fine. I'll feel better after some rest. It's probably just hypoglycemia.”

While none of what Gwendolyn said was true, they did sound convincing.

Just like that, the two of them hugged each other. Patrick couldn't bring himself to push away or ignore her.

Everything he was angry about didn't seem to matter anymore after he learned that all three of Gwendolyn's children were his and found out about the details of how she raised them.

Gwendolyn felt wonderfully safe and comfortable while she drank in his scent with her face buried in his chest and her hands wrapped around his lean waist.

She hadn't been getting much proper sleep for the past few months and was surprised when she felt a wave of drowsiness overcome her while remaining in his embrace.

The steady rhythm of her breathing could be heard shortly after. Patrick inclined his head, only to discover that she'd fallen asleep.

He frowned. What am I to her? A sleeping pill? I can't believe she'd fall asleep standing.

Following that, Patrick scooped her up and gazed at her sleeping face, which wore a faint smile, when she suddenly mumbled, “Pat, don't let go of me!”

Is she dreaming? Am I in her dream? His expression stiffened.

The thought of that cheered him up considerably, and he strode out of the room with a twinkle in his eyes.

At the entrance of Melanie's bedroom stood two young boys and a girl.

“Is she asleep?” Justin queried when he saw the woman in Patrick's arms.

Why has Mommy fallen asleep when she's supposed to be tucking Juliette in?

“Yes. She's too tired, so I'll carry her to the guest room. All of you shouldn't disturb Juliette since she's asleep. Run along now!”

With that, Patrick stalked off and entered one of the rooms.

Melanie pouted. “How does he know which one is the guest room?”

Patrick had never visited this place once ever since Melanie moved in. As such, she'd never seen him before.

Julian held Melanie's tiny hand. “He's a good friend of Mr. Gomez and must have been here often in the past.”

Melanie once told them that this house belonged to Lucas and that he was lending it out to them.

Justin sensed that something was off as Gwendolyn would never fall asleep while tucking Juliette in. What's going on today?

He was about to head off in Patrick's direction out of concern for Gwendolyn when Lucy emerged from the elevator precisely at that moment.

“I've some freshly squeezed juice for you kids. Go on downstairs to drink it.”

As she spoke, she approached Justin and caressed his head. “Come on!”

Justin was curious to know what was going on with Gwendolyn and what methods Patrick used to pursue her.

Unfortunately, he had no choice but to follow Lucy downstairs as she was nudging him on the back of

his head.

The living room was a hive of activity.

Kevin and Estelle were present, and the latter was drinking a glass of juice on the couch. It tasted amazing since it was freshly squeezed.

She gave Lucy a thumbs-up. “Lucy, this juice taste's phenomenal.”

Kevin shot to his feet at the sight of Justin and Julian and beckoned them over. “Come on over here, Justin, Julian.”
