Chapter 608 Men Are All Like This
The two women then headed to the mall first to shop.
They bought things that they liked without looking at the prices, and they never thought about the
children back at home. For that day, they were going to prioritize themselves.
When the two of them re-emerged out of the mall, they had bags in their hands. Resting her head on
Lucy's shoulders, Gwendolyn said, “Luce, I'm hungry.”
After spending the entire morning shopping, Gwendolyn was starving.
They then placed their things in the car before heading to an upscale restaurant for a good meal.
When Lucy was ordering, she said, “Bring me a bottle of Lafite. I want the most expensive one.”
Gwendolyn glanced at the price. When she saw that it cost two hundred and eighty thousand, she
widened her eyes.
“Luce, you're footing the bill. Are you sure about this? This is too expensive!!”
Once Lucy was done ordering, she smiled and said, “It's not a problem. I have a credit card.”
A certain man had given her a black card, but she had yet to put it to use. Now she was going to use it.
After all, it was a card she had earned from working hard for so many nights.
By then, Gwendolyn was done ordering as well, and she passed the menu back to the server.
Resting her head in her hands, she asked, “Lucas is rather generous to be giving you a mansion, a car,
and even a black card.”
Lucy lifted her glass to take a sip of her water.
“That's all he can give me.”
The Gomez family was a family who had contributed greatly to the government. They were a
prestigious family, and they were not going to accept her. She had worked in a nightclub before, so, to
them, she was an indecent woman.
Moreover, she was a woman with a child who was once married to another man.
Lucy knew that no one would want their son to marry a woman like her.
Listening to her words wrought Gwendolyn's heart. The two had met at Night City, and both knew how
helpless they were in this world because they were single mothers.
That was why they decided to help each other and become friends instead.
Fate was unfair. Both she and Lucy were beautiful women who had not done anything wrong, but life
was harsh on them.
Right then, the wine came. The server asked them to taste it before he opened the bottle and poured
the wine into a decanter.
The appetizers were served, and Gwendolyn quietly ate. The words she had just said seemed to have
agitated Lucy.
At that, she cursed at herself, Shut up, Gwendolyn! You're in no place to comment about Lucy's
situation when you ended up like this! Moreover, she's doing fine now. As long as Melanie recovers,
she'll be able to live her life again.
As Lucy poured the wine into their glasses, she called out to Gwendolyn.
“Gwen, drink up. Let's toast to our future happy lives.”
Gwendolyn raised her stemmed glass and clinked it with Lucy's.
“To our happy lives.”
When they finished their meal, they finished the bottle of wine as well. The amount was nothing to
Lucy.
She was a bottle girl in the past, so she could hold her liquor well.
Gwendolyn was fine too—she was only a little tipsy.

“Luce, I'm actually really sad. I don't want to marry Zayden. I don't love him. I've always seen him as a
friend. But he's blind now and has post-traumatic stress disorder. If he doesn't cooperate in his
treatment, his condition will worsen, and he'll be disabled for life. If his condition worsens, he might
even commit suicide. He saved me and my children. He's my savior. How can I leave him in his time of
need? I can't do that, so I have to let go of Patrick.”
Lucy never realized that Gwendolyn's situation was that serious.
Reaching out to hold Gwendolyn's hands, she consoled, “Gwen, I understand what you feel. Everything
will be all right. Once Zayden's condition improves, you still have the option of getting a divorce.
Zayden is a good man. If it weren't for his illness, he wouldn't have pressured you.”
After saying that, Lucy quietly sighed. She did not know if Patrick would wait for Gwendolyn or not.
A man like him had more women waiting for him than she could imagine.
He was rich and handsome. If Gwendolyn had hurt him, why would he stay? He would cut off all ties
with Gwendolyn and find someone else who would love him more.
Aren't men all the same?
