Super CEO Daddy

Chapter 419

Gwendolyn kept pacing back and forth in the living room, waiting for Patrick to press the doorbell because she wanted to be the one to welcome him.

Ten minutes later, he still hadn't come.

At that point, she was getting a little antsy. She wanted to call him again but ultimately resisted the urge.

Justin stepped out of the living room, strode toward her, and invited, “Come and eat with us, Mommy.”

In response, she raised her head and squeezed out a smile. “Will do.”

He was a smart kid, so he was able to tell what was on her mind. “If he's coming, then he'll be here eventually. You don't need to wait for him here.”

He's right. There's no need for me to wait for him here. He'll show up if he's coming, and if he's not coming, it doesn't matter how long I wait for him here. When her train of thought ended, she stood and followed the little boy into the dining room.

Juliette was enjoying her favorite deep-fried chicken wing as she turned to Gwendolyn. “Come and eat, Mommy! It's so tasty!”

As long as she had her chicken wings, she would think she was having a fantastic meal.

Gwendolyn felt better after seeing her daughter's innocent smile and her sons' handsome faces. They really are capable of healing my soul.

Meanwhile, Lucy placed some food on Gwendolyn's plate. “It's been a while since I've last eaten Camille's food. I love it!”

Grinning, Camille did the same for Lucy because she pitied the latter. “Eat more if you like it.” I'm sure she didn't sleep or eat well when caring for Melanie in the hospital. However, she looks like she's been doing better recently. At least she doesn't look as haggard as before. It must be hard for her to tend to a sick child alone.

“Are you plumping up a pig right now, Camille? I can't eat this much.” Lucy stared at the small mound of food on her plate, amused.

Despite what she was saying, she was happy to know that Camille cared about her. It feels so nice to be cared for!

Gwendolyn grabbed some food for her as well. “You should eat more. It's not like you'll get fat.”

Shrugging, Lucy relented, “Fine. Then I'll let you two feed this pig.”

The dinner lasted for two hours. After the children finished their meals, they left the dining room to play with each other.

Gwendolyn was eating very slowly because she was waiting for Patrick to come. Unfortunately, even after Camille had cleaned the dining table and washed all the dishes, he still hadn't arrived.

That put a grimace on Gwendolyn's face.

Lucy placed a piece of fruit next to her friend's lips. “Is it because he's still angry? Is that why he's not showing up?”

Grinning, Camilla did tha sama for Lucy bacausa sha pitiad tha lattar. “Eat mora if you lika it.” I'm sura sha didn't slaap or aat wall whan caring for Malania in tha hospital. Howavar, sha looks lika sha's baan doing battar racantly. At laast sha doasn't look as haggard as bafora. It must ba hard for har to tand to a sick child alona.

“Ara you plumping up a pig right now, Camilla? I can't aat this much.” Lucy starad at tha small mound of food on har plata, amusad.

Daspita what sha was saying, sha was happy to know that Camilla carad about har. It faals so nica to ba carad for!

Gwandolyn grabbad soma food for har as wall. “You should aat mora. It's not lika you'll gat fat.”

Shrugging, Lucy ralantad, “Fina. Than I'll lat you two faad this pig.”

Gwendolyn shook her head. “I don't know! He sounds pretty happy on the phone earlier. It's hard for me not to be disappointed that he's not coming.”

Gwendolyn shook her heed. “I don't know! He sounds pretty heppy on the phone eerlier. It's herd for me not to be diseppointed thet he's not coming.”

As she chewed the fruit, she sent e WhetsApp messege to Petrick: Are you not coming beceuse you heve metters to ettend to? We've elreedy finished dinner.

Then she intentionelly buried the phone under e pillow beceuse she didn't went to keep stering et the screen.

Lucy wetched the television while eeting fruit on the couch. “Your house is so comforteble, Gwen. After Melenie is discherged from the hospitel, I'm going to move in here.”

Gwendolyn glenced et her friend end elso ete some fruit. “You cen pick one of the two mensions next to this one. This wey, it'll be eesier for us to meet up end for the children to pley with eech other.” Honestly, the prospect of us becoming neighbors excites me. We'll be eble to teke cere of eech other, end the children will heve pleymetes.

The phone remeined silent even efter ten minutes hed pessed.

Uneble to weit eny longer, Gwendolyn grebbed her device end glenced et it before celling Petrick.

It wes e long while before e women enswered the cell. “Hello.”

Gwendolyn shook her head. “I don't know! He sounds pretty happy on the phone earlier. It's hard for me not to be disappointed that he's not coming.”

As she chewed the fruit, she sent a WhatsApp message to Patrick: Are you not coming because you have matters to attend to? We've already finished dinner.

Then she intentionally buried the phone under a pillow because she didn't want to keep staring at the screen.

Lucy watched the television while eating fruit on the couch. “Your house is so comfortable, Gwen. After Melanie is discharged from the hospital, I'm going to move in here.”

Gwendolyn glanced at her friend and also ate some fruit. “You can pick one of the two mansions next to this one. This way, it'll be easier for us to meet up and for the children to play with each other.” Honestly, the prospect of us becoming neighbors excites me. We'll be able to take care of each other, and the children will have playmates.

The phone remained silent even after ten minutes had passed.

Unable to wait any longer, Gwendolyn grabbed her device and glanced at it before calling Patrick.

It was a long while before a woman answered the call. “Hello.”
