Perfect CEO

Chapter 297

Patrick's expression fell when he noticed that Gwendolyn's gaze had darkened.

“What? Have you never thought about marrying me?” he asked.

Patrick was very disappointed. Originally, he thought that Gwendolyn would be all over him when he managed to win her over.

But now, he knew that he had gotten his hopes too high. Gwendolyn had never imagined a future with him.

Feeling crestfallen, he raised the wine glass and drank all the wine in one gulp. The atmosphere in the restaurant instantly turned cold.

Even Gwendolyn felt the temperature in the restaurant decrease. She felt a little cold as a result.

“No, I didn't mean that,” she responded.

With that, she placed some food on his plate. Because she wanted to be with him, she asked that question.

“What do you mean then?” Patrick looked at her coldly. “I feel like we're just fooling around. Once we've satisfied ourselves in this ambiguous relationship, we'll go our separate ways. Gwendolyn, I'm not as casual as you are.”

The more Patrick thought about it, the angrier he became. If he was such a man, he would have been surrounded by women long ago. It was a wonder why he became celibate for so many years.

To Patrick, getting together meant being with one another for life.

Gwendolyn stretched her hand out and place it on his large hand. Her index finger lightly scratched the back of his hand.

“Patrick, I want to be with you for life. I know I'm not a good person and that I have a dark past. However, I didn't do those things willingly. I didn't wish to do those things. Do you believe me?”

She could not escape the fact that she had given birth out of wedlock and did not even know who the father was. What happened in the past had become a nightmare that would haunt her for life.

It was also the main topic of discussion that others kept bringing up to Gwendolyn over the years. Of course, she did not care. After all, her three children were the best gift she had ever received in her whole life.

However, Gwendolyn had others matters that outsiders loved to stick their noses in.

Therefore, she never thought about getting a boyfriend or marrying someone.

However, she had met Patrick. He fulfilled all her dreams and doted on her like a child. It was because of him that she finally wanted to get married.

Gwendolyn wanted to be with Patrick for a lifetime. She did not want him to be snatched away by other women.

Patrick smiled plainly when he heard her reply.

He said, “You silly girl. Your past means nothing to me. I regret that I was not with you while you faced the happenings in the past, but I hope that I'm the only man in your future life. Do you understand?”

Patrick was very domineering, but Gwendolyn felt that she liked this side of him very much. She could not help but smile.

“Patrick, do you have any idea how incredible you are at sweet-talking?” she asked.

In the past, she thought that a man like Patrick would be very boring when he was with his girlfriend. She also believed that he would never utter any affectionate words. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

From the looks of things, it seemed that Gwendolyn had misunderstood Patrick. His affectionate words were probably irresistible to any woman who heard them.

At that moment, Gwendolyn felt that she was utterly captivated by Patrick.

He raised his eyebrows. “I'm even more incredible in other areas. Do you want me to show you?”

The old Gwendolyn would probably not understand what he was saying, but the current Gwendolyn understood what he meant immediately. Her delicate face blushed bright red. She then shot him a glare.

“We shouldn't talk while eating,” she said.

She then lowered her head and drank the soup. At that moment, she felt that the soup tasted wonderful.

As Patrick ate the food elegantly, his gaze toward her intensified.

Rebecca, who was seated at a nearby table, looked at the two of them. They seemed so affectionate that they could make people jealous of them.

However, Rebecca knew from her past experiences that young couples started off like this at first. In time, their relationship would gradually change.

Even if Gwendolyn were an angel, Patrick would get bored of looking at her every day. Although she looked very beautiful, Rebecca believed that a handsome man like Patrick was used to being pampered.

Thus, she doubted Patrick would stay committed to one woman and give up on pursuing others.

Look at Kevin. He never lacks female partners. Although he has never brought any women home, I know that he has a lot of lovers just by hearing the rumors spread by other people. Besides, Kevin and Patrick are good friends. As the saying goes, birds of the same feather flock together. They probably have the same preferences when it comes to girls.
