Chapter 704 Banter
When Lucas raised his head, she had already gone back into the building.
Smiling, he replied, “Okay!”
He wouldn't break his promise to her.
After a while, Patrick drove to Lucy's courtyard and parked his car at the dedicated parking space.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated. It was because Kevin had sent him a picture.
Patrick tapped on the picture, revealing the test result. Then, he received an audio message from Kevin.
After learning the result, he listened to Kevin's audio message. “Pat, the kids are yours. You were right. Someone must've tampered with the previous test.”
The edges of Patrick's lips curved upward.
It was then Gwendolyn's car arrived next to his.
He left his vehicle and saw Gwendolyn wearing a pair of jeans and a white tank top.
It was his first time seeing her wear that, yet she exuded a feminine vibe. Her clothes, though simple, could not conceal her mature figure.
The boys left the automobile before Justin helped his sister out.
When Juliette leaped out of the car, she exclaimed, “Melanie...”
A moment later, she spotted Patrick and darted toward him. “Are you here to play at Ms. Lucy's place, too? What a coincidence!”
She didn't expect to meet him again so soon after their encounter at noon.
The reason she liked him was that he was handsome, and her classmates thought he was her father.
Staring at her innocent and adorable countenance, Patrick grinned warmly. To think I have three children, and that all of them had grown up.
He couldn't help but peer at Gwendolyn with a profound look. Despite her petite body, she gave birth to three children for me.
The woman detected his gaze. I didn't expect he'd show up here.
Meanwhile, the boys glanced at their father and were certain he had learned everything he needed to know.
Although, they wouldn't point it out proactively.
Then, Melanie and Lucy welcomed their guests. The girl was wearing a white dress, which was beautiful and cute.
She approached the triplets while wearing a bright smile on her face. “You're finally here, Justin, Julian,
Juliette! I missed you three so much!”
Despite Melanie still being thin after her recovery, she appeared to be in better spirits, like a child should be.
Lucy hugged Gwendolyn and whispered, “Lucas invited him, not me. How annoying.”
Gwendolyn didn't share the same sentiment as her friend. In fact, she thought she was lucky to encounter Patrick there.
After all, it was typically challenging for her to meet him, so she was happy to be able to see him.
Smiling, Gwendolyn asked, “Where's Mr. Gomez?”
Lucy pointed at a spot not far from them. “He's planting vegetables for me over there. Until he finishes his task, he's not getting any food.”
Holding the hoe with bare arms, Lucas grinned. “Over here, Pat.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
He waved at Patrick. In response, Patrick lifted his eyebrow and approached him with a calm expression.
After the children went into the building, Gwendolyn couldn't resist the urge to look at Patrick.
Lucy, upon discerning her friend's intention, said, “Let's see if Lucas has finished his work.”
And so, the three adults sauntered toward the garden.
“Why did you turn the beautiful flower garden into a vegetable garden? What a waste,” Gwendolyn teased.
In response, Lucy lifted her eyebrow. “Beauty is useless. If I grow my own vegetables, I can eat healthier. Besides, I can make Lucas suffer a little by doing this.” Maybe the thought of doing more labor work for me will dissuade him from visiting me often.
It was then Patrick smiled. “Lucas, I also have a plot of empty land. How about helping me with some farming there?”
