“Ms. Ashton, where would you like to go?”

“Star Mansion,” replied Gwendolyn.

The driver gave her a slight nod. “Okay.”

Then, he drove off and headed down the mountain.

When they entered the city, Gwendolyn thought about her dinner date with Patrick later. I have to make him some good food tonight. Get my boys to make some too. Maybe this will be our last dinner together.

That thought made her feel down.

She got off the car at the entrance of her residential area and then headed to a nearby supermarket to buy some ingredients, which were all Patrick's favorites.

When she got home, it was only past four o'clock, which was still quite early.

Camille was a little surprised when she saw her come home.

“Gwen, you came back so early today!” She took the groceries from Gwendolyn. “You bought so many things!”

Gwendolyn gave her a faint smile. “Patrick is coming over for dinner tonight, so I bought extra.”

Camille nodded. “He hasn't come here for several days. I'll make sure he has a good meal tonight!”

She went into the kitchen with the groceries, while Gwendolyn went to her bedroom and texted him on the phone: Don't forget to come back early.

Patrick was in a meeting when he saw his phone on the table vibrate. He glanced at it and grabbed it.

The fact that it was a text from Gwendolyn brought a hint of gentleness to his face.

Noticing that, everyone at the meeting was astounded.

Lowen Group was like hell lately. Due to Patrick's bad mood, they had to work overtime every day, and all their proposals were rejected.

It was so dreadful that they wanted to resign. If it were not for the high salary offered by Lowen Group, they would have really left as they were afraid they were going to get a heart attack.

However, Patrick's expression at that moment was filled with warmth.

They all had a hunch that they should be able to escape working overtime and leave work early that day.

After putting away his phone, Patrick declared flatly, “We'll get off work on time today.”

Everyone at the meeting was shocked that they nearly jumped to their feet. Bingo! Could it be that the person who just texted Mr. Lowen is his fiancée who is recently reported on the news?

They inwardly decided to curry favor with her if they saw her in the future so that they could get off work on time.

Rising to his feet, Patrick was ready to leave, leaving everyone at the meeting dumbfounded. Mr. Lowen is going to end the meeting and leave work now! It's only half past four!

John, who was sitting next to Patrick, could tell that no one dared to speak out, so he asked, “Mr. Lowen, do we need to redo this proposal?”

Patrick stopped in his tracks. “No. Just go with this proposal. It's not bad.”

With that, he pulled open the door of the meeting room and strode off.

The meeting room, which was initially quiet, was instantly in an uproar.

“What's going on, Mr. White? Why did Mr. Lowen's mood suddenly change?”

Previously, they thought that Patrick was in a bad mood and remained sunk in gloom because he was forced to get married.

But now that Patrick's mood had lightened, they started to wonder what caused the mood change.

John shook his head. “I can't figure out what he is thinking. You people should pay more attention to your work and pay less attention to Mr. Lowen's private life.”

Being the longest-serving subordinate of Patrick's, John was one of the people the latter trusted the most, so his personality was similar to that of Patrick, which was stand-offish.

After Patrick went back to the office, he took another look at the message she sent.

Looking at the content, he somehow thought that it sounded like a wife was asking her husband to get home early.

He could envision that after they got married, she would stay at home while he would go to work. After work, his wife would prepare a sumptuous dinner for him.

They would eat together and go for a walk as a family.

At night, they would shower together, go to bed together, and do the things they love to do together.

That kind of life meant happiness to him.

Thus, he texted in reply: Yes, Honey!
