Chapter 558 The Last Supper
After changing into a black and comfortable slip dress that was basic yet sexy, Gwendolyn applied
some perfume balm Lucy made for her at the back of her ears.
Since Lucy had talents in the aesthetic domain and a passion for beauty, she always made her own
makeup, perfume, and balms.
The balm she gifted Gwendolyn had a particular scent—a scent Lucy named Gwen since she believed
it to be unique to Gwendolyn.
Gwendolyn liked the gift as well, for it gave off a lingering sweet scent.
She had put it on that night because she wanted Patrick to remember it forever.
When it turned five, she went downstairs to prepare dinner while Camille went to fetch the three kids
from the central garden in their neighborhood, where the school bus would usually drop them off.
Transportation had been very convenient since Gwendolyn and the children moved to Star Mansion.
It was a pleasant neighborhood, and the parents there usually sent their children to school by car.
Still, the school bus would drop by that residential area since some government officials lived there,
and their children needed transport to go to school.
When Gwendolyn's children reached home that day, Juliette ran to her mother and hugged her on the
leg just as Gwendolyn came out of the kitchen.
“Gwen, you're early today! I'm so happy!” the girl exclaimed.
Meanwhile, the boy who had just seen Gwendolyn in an apron asked, “Is someone coming?”

children were probably his.
