Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn was taken aback. I was just sleeping next to him. We weren't sleeping

together in that sense of the word!

“Old Mrs. Lowen, we did nothing last night except for sleeping. I won't ask for anything from you,” said

Gwendolyn.

Now, she was afraid of even seeing Patrick. In no way did she want him to be responsible for her.

She retracted her hands and added, “Old Mrs. Lowen, I need to go now. I still have three hungry kids

waiting for me at home. They must be crying for me.”

Feeling desperate to go home, Gwendolyn was so nervous that she did not even know what she was

saying anymore.

I must leave before Patrick gets here. Otherwise, he would ask me to pay for another medical bill

again. Furthermore, I slept on top of his arms the whole night. His arms must be dead by now. And

what about his nosebleed? I can't believe I just punched him! Ah! I better run for my life now before he

asks for money again.

With that in mind, Gwendolyn sprinted away, leaving Alice in puzzlement.

“She has kids? That's too bad,” Alice mumbled as she watched Gwendolyn leaving.

Just then, Patrick came down the stairs. He was clad casually in a dark grey sweater and trousers of

the same color, and his hair, which was usually slicked back, was falling over his forehead.

Compared to his usual stoic appearance, Patrick appeared to be more approachable and younger in

that get-up.

Alice saw him and asked, “Pat, is Gwen married?”

It's wrong if I'd had helped Patrick sleep with a married woman last night.

In truth, Patrick saw Gwendolyn run away just now. He pursed his lips before putting his arm around

Alice's shoulder.

“Grandma, she has three kids but no husband.”

After hearing his words, Alice appeared to be baffled. “Is he dead?”

A chill flashed across Patrick's eyes as he answered, “Maybe.”

Alice nodded. “Do you really like her?”

She knew Gwendolyn was a kind and righteous woman and believed women like her were rare.

Patrick's eyes darkened. “I don't know.”

He said that because he was not sure about his feelings toward Gwendolyn yet. However, he simply

felt an indescribable sense of familiarity between them and wanted badly to get close to her.

Patrick walked Alice to the dining hall. As soon as they sat down, the housekeeper served the

breakfast.

Alice snuck a glance at Patrick during the meal. Judging from his countenance, she believed her

grandson had fallen in love.

Eating the oatmeal porridge, she asked, “Pat, do you still remember when I asked you to acquire that

investment company? Back then, I and a few friends of mine nearly fell for their scam. The company

claimed that the money we invested could help the poor children who lived around the mountains. We

bought their words.”

Patrick was curious about how Gwendolyn met his grandmother.

Therefore, he kept his ears open as he ate his breakfast.

“Well, guess what happened next, Pat?”

Patrick smirked. “I've looked into that company. It turns out that their registered capital was only one

million, and their business was not legitimate either. Did they try to swindle you?”

Alice smiled. “You're right. They were a bunch of scammers. Gwen happened to work for them and saw

our group of old ladies that day. She secretly told us not to invest our money in the scam and asked us

to leave.”

Hearing Alice's story, Patrick could not help but smile. I knew it. That sounds like Gwendolyn

“So, you asked me to acquire that company just to protect her?” asked Patrick.

Alice answered, “Of course. That girl was kind enough to save us. What a shame it would be if those

people in that corrupt company bullied her.”
