Chapter 671 Patrick Is Buying
Gwendolyn pondered momentarily and answered, “I never really noticed since I'm not at the Surrington
residence much.”
I didn't really care about much in the past three months and mostly lived in a daze. I suppose all my
focus was on work.
Lucy hugged her and said, “Let's go! It's almost time. Otherwise, Mr. Gomez will criticize me again if he
waits too long.”
Actually, his criticism isn't severe, but I'll suffer from his extended lovemaking at night. He has a robust
body in the first place, so if I make him mad, he'll make sure I can't get out of bed for three days to
make a point.
She shivered slightly at the thought.
That was my first time experiencing his sexual prowess from disobedience. Now, I'm docile like a winter
catfish.
Gwendolyn smoothened her hair and said, “Okay!”
Lucy handed over her gold card for registration while Gwendolyn scrolled on her phone.
“Gwen, do they not know that you're the owner of Solstice Group?”

Felicia's demands and instructed Gwen to remove her clothing and, in turn, sell it to the person who
could afford it.
Gwendolyn lifted her head after replying to an email.
“No, they don't. Even Zayden also assumed that I'm a low-rank employee at Solstice Group, let alone
these employees.”
It was rare for the lower-rank employees to meet the CEO. Besides that, she didn't like flaunting her
face and title to every worker.
Therefore, it was expected that they couldn't recognize her.
Disappointment filled Lucy. “You should organize a staff meeting so that everyone can recognize you.
That way, you'll receive VIP treatment whenever you shop at your own mall. There'll be no repeat of
today's incident, and you won't be bullied.”
Felicia was really daring. It's ironic for her to bully a female millionaire.
Once the card was swiped, the store assistant returned it to Lucy politely.
Lucy and Gwendolyn left the store in brand-new clothing. Gwendolyn's head was still buried in her
phone as they walked.
Worried about her safety, Lucy had no choice but to keep an arm around Gwendolyn's shoulders. “I'm
talking to you. Are you even listening?”
Gwendolyn finally finished with whatever she was working on her phone and slid it into her purse.
“I never thought about it because I don't want to be famous. I just want to live a peaceful life.”
I don't care about how others see me, nor do I want to be a poser. I only wish to live a simple life like
this and raise my three children safely. It seems the way I think has reverted to how it used to be. I
don't wish for romance or bliss anymore. After getting hit in the face with reality, romance feels beyond
my reach, and blissfulness is a pipe dream.
At that moment, Lucy's phone rang, so she picked up the call.
“Have you arrived, Lucy?”
Initially, he thought to wait for her at home, but she said she would head over directly. It was already
dinner time, but she still hadn't arrived.
The dinner was to celebrate Patrick's recovery. Thus, she shouldn't arrive later than the host.
“Soon. We'll be there in half an hour.”
It would take ten minutes to reach the restaurant, and she had to include the time she would be stuck in
traffic.

Gwendolyn couldn't contain her laughter at Lucy's urgency.
“You've become more and more obedient.”
Lucy's steps slowed at those words as though to prove Gwendolyn wrong.
Gwendolyn thought Lucy had become cuter. Stepping closer toward her, Gwendolyn reached for Lucy's
hand and tugged her as she quickened her pace.
“I know you're in a hurry, so let's go. We have to be quick.”
Looking at Gwendolyn's side profile as she ran, Lucy burst into laughter. Her joy was contagious as
Gwendolyn also started laughing.
It had been a long time since they had run without care like that. Undoubtedly, they would enjoy the
dinner that night.
The minute Lucas ended the call, he couldn't stop his gaze from darting to the outside.
Kevin entered with his arm wrapped around Estelle. When he saw the man standing by the door, he
halted in his steps.
“Is Pat buying us dinner or you, Mr. Gomez?”
Why else is he standing here to greet the guests?
