Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 59

Camille smiled and said, “Don't hide it from me. The last time you were sick, his car was right outside. Moreover, he had bodyguards following him.”

I saw it with my own eyes! How could I be wrong?

Gwendolyn heaved a sigh. No wonder I didn't see her that day. So this is the reason why. She had given that fellow all the space, causing me to owe such a massive debt.

“No, Ms. Ziegler. He's not.”

After her voice fell, she turned to savor her drink in silence.

Sensing Gwendolyn was unhappy, Camille did not probe further.

“I'll go to bed now. Rest early.”

“Good night,” said Gwendolyn.

While she enjoyed her drink alone, her phone on the table rang. Seeing that it was Patrick calling, she answered the call.

“Are Mr. Chavez and Mr. Gomez okay, Mr. Lowen?”

Patrick had already taken a bath. He believed that Kevin and Lucas, staying in the guest rooms, would likely clean themselves several times. Kevin, in particular, would most probably bathe for an entire night.

He smiled. “They're fine. Don't worry. You're asleep?”

Her voice was not clear as she was busy drinking.

“Oh! Not yet. Ms. Ziegler made me mulled wine. I'm drinking it right now.”

Hearing this, Patrick wanted to taste it as well.

“Do you want me to double your wage, Gwendolyn?”

The woman's eyes lit with excitement when she heard his words. Then, she lowered her cup and said, “Of course! Who wouldn't want extra money? I'm not a fool!”

Patrick knew that his offer had piqued her interest. He could even picture her eyes flickering with money signs.

Then, he said in a low voice, “I want to drink mulled wine every night too.”

Gwendolyn froze momentarily. “Um, I don't work overtime, Mr. Lowen. I need to take care of my children.”

She could not renege on her promises to her children. Moreover, they could not see her during the day. If Patrick insisted, she would not be able to see them at night either. That way, she would miss out a lot on the growth of the triplets.

When they would attend university, she would only be able to see them once per semester. It would become even lesser after they had jobs.

Time was flying by. Hence, she wanted to treasure the time they had for now.

Patrick could tell from her tone that she was unwilling to do it for him.

“Well, can I go to your place and have mulled wine before returning home?”

This was the best compromise he could come up with. He added, “Your housekeeper can make it. You'll still earn double without having to do anything.”

The man knew exactly how to cajole her into agreeing to his offer.

Gwendolyn giggled discreetly. This is too easy!

“All right! Deal! Remember, double!”

At the thought of being able to visit her house openly, Patrick smirked. I finally have the chance to deal with her children. That way, I'll be a part of her family in the future. From NôvelDrama.Org.

However, he suddenly shook his head, finding something abnormal.

Why do I want to accept her so badly? I was only playing the giddy goat with her, but it seems different now.

“All right. Go to sleep early. Good night!”

Without giving her an opportunity to say a word, he hung up the phone. Immediately after that, an air of depression shrouded him.

The next day, Gwendolyn wanted to look through her job-related matters after sending the triplets to school.

At that moment, Tommy knocked on the door. “Gwen, open the door.”

Gwendolyn opened the door and asked, “Tommy, are we going to sign the agreement now?”

This is too early, no? It's only eight in the morning. I thought we would only go around nine or ten o'clock.

Tommy was eager to get the commission, so he thought the earlier, the better.

“It's best that we go now, Gwen. By the time we arrive, it will be nine on the dot. That's when they start work,” he explained.

Gwendolyn felt that he was right. Hence, she said with a smile, “Wait a moment. I'll go grab my ID card.”
