Chapter 623 Make Patrick Give Up
In the room, Gwendolyn discovered that Lucy had disappeared in the blink of an eye before the door
was shut behind her.
Her gaze fell upon a man seated on the red couch near the window. He sat with crossed legs, his icy
expression fixed upon her.
Gwendolyn pursed her lips. She knew that a woman looked her best on her wedding day, and she was
no exception.
She used to secretly envision Patrick's reaction upon seeing her in a wedding dress on their special
day, but the reality before her was far from her imagined scenario.
Patrick's lips were tightly pressed together, lending him an aura of intimidation and disapproval. It felt
as though he was on the verge of rushing over, ready to tear apart her wedding dress and remove her
veil forcefully.
He lit a cigarette and began smoking silently. Soon, the room was filled with pungent smoke.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBoth of them remained silent. Gwendolyn hung her head while Patrick fixed his gaze on her.
After finishing his cigarette, he put it out and rose to his feet, approaching the bed slowly.
Leaning forward, he lifted her chin.
“You look gorgeous today,” he commented in an icy tone.
Gwendolyn noticed the bloodshot condition of his eyes. Dark circles nestled beneath his eyes, a clear
sign that he had not experienced restful sleep.
“Patrick, I'm going to get married. Are you here to congratulate me?”
Gwendolyn didn't know what she should say but decided to convince him to give up.
She couldn't give him any hope, so it was time to make them both give up.
Patrick's expression turned dark and icy as the temperature in the room dropped.
Gwendolyn couldn't help but shudder.
Patrick's grip on her chin tightened, causing a sharp surge of pain to radiate through her jaw.
Nevertheless, she endured the pain and said nothing.
Patrick sneered, “Gwendolyn, I won't allow you to marry him. I forbid you.”
His voice, filled with venom and malice, struck Gwendolyn's ears like the words of the devil himself,
sending a piercing pang of pain straight to her heart.
Gwendolyn took a deep breath as she tried to breathe through the pain deep in her heart.
The sight of the man she longed for stirred up a tumult of emotions within her. Gwendolyn felt a
profound sense of sadness and yearning, an overwhelming desire to reach out and embrace him. She
wanted to convey the depth of her longing and the emptiness she felt without him.
Alas, she could never do that. If she were to say that, he would only grow more determined to be with
her. He would be willing to go against the entire world just to marry her.
Gwendolyn understood the importance of considering others' lives and not being selfish in her pursuit
of love.
Memories of her grandfather's unwavering care and support flooded her mind, as did the image of
Zayden's kindness and assistance during her most vulnerable moments.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe recognized that her actions could potentially jeopardize Patrick's well-being once again, and she
couldn't bear to see him face further trouble.
Patrick was a genuinely good person who deserved happiness in his life.
If they were to be together, she knew that it would only invite conflict and confrontation from Hector,
who couldn't tolerate his grandson's rebellious nature.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that they couldn't make it past the countless gaps
between them.
Gwendolyn drew her jaw out of his hand and gathered her thoughts.
Her expression turned icy as she shot Patrick a determined look.
“Patrick, I've been using you all this time to get back at Felicia as she took away my father and my
rightful place as the eldest daughter of the family. That was my motive and nothing more.”
She instinctively rubbed her chin, which still throbbed with pain from his earlier pinch.
Despite the ache that lingered from his touch, Gwendolyn found herself yearning for the warmth and
comfort his fingers once provided.
Taking a deep breath, she continued, “Patrick, it's time to let go. Zayden and I have been in each
other's lives for six years, and he is the father of my children. For their sake, I will never marry you.”
