Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 19

Gwendolyn was even more agitated at the mention of her daughter.

“No way! She's still a child! How can she possibly work at such a young age? I should be the one doing hard labor instead of her.”

Little did she know, Gwendolyn had fallen into Patrick's devious plan.

He then raised his eyebrows as he took a piece of paper and pen before writing down a promissory note.

“I don't mind having you work for me, anyway. It's quite troublesome to have a young child working.”

In truth, he would not have thought of letting Juliette work in his house, anyway. The young child would have been pampered like a little princess if she were to stay in his place.

Initially, Patrick had only wanted to tease Gwendolyn. However, after seeing her serious response, he thought that she would be the perfect companion for him, as he needed someone who could cook and accompany him to his meals.

After he was done with the promissory note, Patrick placed it in front of Gwendolyn.

“Sign it.”

Gwendolyn's fever had just subsided, and she had just woken up. Thus, she signed the piece of paper without hesitation, fearing that her daughter might be taken away from her. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

After she was done, Gwendolyn bit her lower lip and said, “You'll have to keep your promise, Mr. Lowen. It's me who's going to pay off the debts, not Juliette.”

As she spoke, Gwendolyn patted her chest earnestly, and her eyes were filled with determination.

Patrick then took the promissory note and folded it before putting it away in his pocket.

“I'm a man of my word. Give me a call once you're feeling better.”

He then got up from his seat. Patrick's tall and handsome appearance was simply captivating.

Gwendolyn was dumbstruck as she gazed at him. However, she eventually came to her senses when she noticed his icy, cold eyes staring at her.

It must've been the fever! Otherwise, I wouldn't be interested in Felicia's man. That's right. It's definitely the fever and the medication. In my current state, any hideous guy might even appear handsome to me! Haha! I'm sure that I must be hallucinating now. Felicia's man is no different than any other hideous man out there.

Just then, Liam walked in with several food containers in his hands.

“I've brought some oatmeal porridge, Mr. Lowen.”

He placed the stack of food containers on the table and greeted Gwendolyn, “So this is where you live, Ms. Ashton.”

So Ms. Ashton is sick! No wonder Mr. Lowen was so anxious and worried. I totally understand how he feels now.

Liam was delighted to know that Patrick finally had a lady companion with him. He was happy for his boss.

However, Patrick shot a glare at Liam, causing the latter to shudder as he knew he had been talking too much. Hence, Liam decided to leave the room hurriedly.

Gwendolyn rolled her eyes at Patrick after seeing Liam, who had been reprimanded by his boss, scurry off. Look just how terrified his staff is of him! He must be a difficult person to work with.

“Just remember to finish your oatmeal porridge. You will have to pay your debts after you're fully recovered.”

After reminding Gwendolyn of her promise, Patrick then took his leave. Since she's fine enough to roll her eyes at me, I'm sure she'll get better in no time.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn was indeed famished. She approached the dining table and opened the food containers to take a look. Besides the oatmeal porridge, there were also a few savory dishes ordered by Liam, including catfish stew and sauteed vegetables.

Even though the food looked scrumptious, Gwendolyn felt that her throat was still quite unwell. It would make her condition even worse if she were to finish all the savory dishes.

Therefore, she could only settle down and sipped on the oatmeal porridge slowly.

As she ate her meal, Gwendolyn thought about what had just happened. She felt devastated by the huge debt imposed upon her by Patrick.

Even if the rent for their house had been settled, training fees for her three children were still a huge problem for her. Despite the fact that they had told her it was unnecessary for them to attend training classes, Gwendolyn did not want her children to be lacking in their abilities.

Therefore, she was determined to earn more money, even if it meant working four jobs in one day.

As she bit the spoon in her mouth, Gwendolyn was mad at Patrick. He's a total j*rk! How could his time be worth ten million for the whole morning? He must be lying to me, right?

She then picked up her phone and texted Zayden. Since he was the CEO of Surrington Corporation, Zayden was usually busy. Therefore, his time should also be worth a lot of money.

Zayden, I have a question. Do you know how much money you would lose if you didn't go to work for the whole morning?

After that, she scoffed inwardly.

Patrick Lowen, if you're messing around with me, I will let the entire nation know that the CEO of Lowen Group is a two-faced liar! I will also make sure you're going to jail and serve a long sentence for your lies!
