Patrick examined her shy face. He reached a hand out to caress her cheeks.
“All right, let's drop it. I'll show you what I mean.”
He passed more food to her. “Eat up.”
Gwendolyn, who had been famished, had a good appetite. She happily ate her fill. It was a satisfying
meal.
After that, the two exited the private room and chanced upon Lucas and Lucy, who were coming out of
theirs as well.
When Lucy saw them, she grinned and greeted them.
“Hi, Gwen. Hi, Mr. Lowen.”
Patrick had an arm around Gwendolyn. He shot a calm look at Lucas.
In a composed tone that was void of emotions, he said, “Luke, you're back! Why didn't you tell us?”
Lucas had consumed a lot of wine. He stood up straight as amusement flashed across his tanned face.
“What a coincidence, Pat. I just got back today.”
As he talked, he glanced at Lucy. If it had not been for her, he would not come back.

Lucy lowered her head, knowing that Lucas was looking at her with eyes full of hatred.
She had gone to his platoon and told his superior that she was pregnant with his child. She wanted him
to make it up to her by marrying her.
So, his superior gave Lucas a mandatory leave and instructed him to marry to Lucy immediately. That
was an order.
Lucas did not like that idea. Lucy made up a lie just to get his bone marrow.
Patrick nodded. “We should meet up some other time. Bye now.”
Gwendolyn stared deeply at Lucy. She hoped that Lucy would not be bullied by Lucas again, and
prayed that the woman would be as strong and brave as she used to be.
“Luce, take good care of yourself.”
As she talked, she glared at Lucas, as though warning him not to bully Lucy.
When Lucas saw the two leave, he pulled Lucy into his arms.
“Dear, did you see how your friend looked at me? She thinks that I'm bullying you. Am I bullying you?”
Gosh, exactly who's bullying whom now?
Lucy turned to glance at him before looking away.
“Lucas, I know that I've let you down. As long as you can save Melanie, I'm willing to be your slave.”
Lucy genuinely believed that. As long as Melanie could live well and prosper, she did not care about
her own life.
Even if she would be bullied by Lucas for the rest of her life, then so be it.
Lucas chuckled coldly. “That's what you said. You had better not go back on your word.”
He pinched her bottom and let out a chilly laugh.
“Come, let's go home!”
When Lucy heard that, her body trembled slightly. She knew what was waiting for her.
Lucas had been away for more than ten days. He would definitely squeeze her dry. He had amazing
stamina, and that was scary to her.
Gwendolyn picked up her phone in the car.
She wanted to text Lucy, but she did not know what to say. After all, Lucas was the only one who could
save Melanie. If she had to face such a dilemma, she would compromise as well.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs long as he could save Melanie, she would be willing to do anything.
She sighed. Lucy's life was indeed miserable.
Patrick turned to look at her. “What's wrong?” he asked.
Gwendolyn put away her phone and looked up at him.
“I just think that women have it bad.”
It was especially so for women with children. Their children were their life. As mothers, they would do
anything for their kids.
Patrick frowned. “Are men not pitiful?”
He narrowed his eyes and chuckled. His emotional gaze landed on her red, sensual lips as he lowered
his head to kiss her.
“Gwen, I'm rather pitiful too. I want you!”
Gwendolyn hurriedly looked ahead. Larry appeared not to have heard anything as he kept driving.
However, Gwendolyn knew that he must have heard it. Despite the embarrassment, she whispered, “I
know that you're pitiful too, but don't say things like that in front of other people, all right?”
“Then... don't go back tonight.”
