Gwendolyn turned around to smile at her. “Thank you! However, I don't really like dressing up like this. I
would have to act elegantly in front of people.”
For Gwendolyn, she felt it was tiring to live a life as such.
Amber smiled. “You have to get used to it because there will be many occasions as such after you
marry Mr. Lowen and become Mrs. Lowen in the future.”
Amber and Liam had been serving Patrick by his side, so they knew that Gwendolyn held a special
place in Patrick's heart.
Knowing that she was likely the future Mrs. Lowen, they were very careful around her and did not dare
to offend her.
In fact, if there was any woman by Patrick's side, they were all very cautious while serving her out of
concern that she would end up being Mrs. Lowen in the future.
Gwendolyn pondered for a moment and agreed.
She remained silent as she suddenly missed her children.
She took out her phone and walked toward the room's balcony. Then, she called Justin.
The call was connected soon after, and Justin's voice rang out.
“Mommy!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Justin, I'll be returning home tonight. Be good and listen to Ms. Ziegler.”
Julian was dressed in a white suit, while Justin looked dapper in a black suit. Juliette was dressed in a
pastel blue dress. They were on their way to the venue where Lowen Group's annual dinner would be
held.
Juliette suddenly asked, “Are we going to attend a ball held by a prince?”
When Gwendolyn heard Juliette's words, she asked in confusion, “Are you guys not at home? Where
are you going?”
Justin replied calmly, “Patrick sent people to bring us to his company's annual dinner. He said that
family members of employees are invited.”
The triplets had only agreed to attend the annual dinner because Patrick told them that the employees'
family members were invited, and the triplets did not disappoint their mother. Otherwise, they would not
have agreed to attend the event.
Gwendolyn gave a slight nod. “Oh!”
Lowen Group would always invite the employees' family members to the annual dinner to celebrate the
New Year. Then, they would also give monetary gifts.
She had three children, so she was expecting them to be able to receive some monetary gifts.
She smiled when she thought about that. She was about to turn into a money-grubber.
“Give me a call when you guys are here! I'll come and get you guys!”
After hanging up, she walked into her room. Patrick was already waiting for her there.
He walked toward her, and his eyes darkened. She's gorgeous tonight, and she looks like my bride!
Gwendolyn placed her phone back into her bag. “Mr. Lowen, do we need to go downstairs now?”
The annual dinner would start at seven in the evening, and it was already past six. The employees
probably already entered the venue, and the invited guests should be arriving one after another.
Patrick looked very classy wearing a black suit.
He nodded slightly. “Let's go!”
He extended his hand, and she hooked her arm through his. They left the room after that and rode the
elevator to the banquet hall on the first floor.
When they entered, many people immediately swarmed toward them. They were all people who had
collaborated with Lowen Group and wanted to speak with Patrick.
Out of courtesy, Patrick held out a glass of wine to clink glasses with them.
When someone tried to toast Gwendolyn, Patrick extended his hand.
“I'll drink in her stead.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeveral men saw his action and exchanged knowing glances.
They were certain that she was definitely the woman Patrick fancied, since he was so protective of her.
Gwendolyn was momentarily taken aback and whispered, “Mr. Lowen, let me! You should not drink so
much!”
It was the annual dinner hosted by Lowen Group, so there would definitely be many people who would
want to clink glasses with him. Even the employees would make a toast to him.
Therefore, she did not wish for him to drink on her behalf, as she could drink the alcohol herself.
Patrick gazed at her coldly and placed his lips near her ear to whisper, “Isn't it the time of the month?
Why are you drinking wine? Just stay beside me.”
With that, he raised another glass and clinked glasses with a few men.
One of his hands was wrapped around her slender waist, while his other hand was holding a
wineglass. They looked like a perfect match. Some people started to ask around discreetly.
“Where's that woman from? Which prestigious family is she from?”
“I was just about to ask that too!”
“I've never seen her before. She probably just came back from abroad.”
Zayden walked into the banquet hall and was greeted by the sight of Patrick hugging Gwendolyn. His
face fell.
