Perfect CEO

Chapter 703 Intentional

Suddenly, Justin's smartwatch rang.

Upon accepting the call, he heard Gwendolyn's voice. “Where are you, Justin?”

Justin glanced at Patrick. “I'm at a classmate's house with Julian and Juliette.”

“I see. I'm heading off work now. Give me the address, and I'll come pick you up.”

Justin's expression shifted slightly. There's no way I can tell her that! “Our classmate lives in the same residential area, Mommy. We'll return home now. You don't need to pick us up.”

“Sure! I'll pick you three up at home, and bring you to Melanie's place.”

After hanging up the call, Justin rose to his feet. “We're heading home now, Mr. Lowen.”

Then, he grabbed Juliette's hand and turned to Julian. “Come, let's go home.”

It doesn't seem like he wants me to send them back. Patrick stared at Justin. He's quite aloof, acting as though he can handle anything by himself. I quite like this brat's personality.

He rose and gazed at the children. “I'll send you back home.”

In response, Julian asked, “What about the report?” Doesn't he want it? Once he reads it, he'll know we're his children, and we'll finally have a daddy, which is great!

Every child had a heroic image of their father in their mind, and Patrick lived up to the kids'

expectations. Hence, they would be delighted if he became their parent.

Patrick grinned. “Kev will send me the information. No need to worry.”

They seem to be panicking about it. The edges of his lips curved upward. Good.

Justin glanced at Julian as though reprimanding his brother for failing to keep calm and allowing Patrick to sense something was amiss.

In response, Julian lowered his head and pursed his lips.

After Patrick sent the children back to Zayden's mansion, he watched them enter the building.

Then, he called Lucas, who answered the phone speedily. “What's the matter, Pat?”

Expressionlessly, Patrick stared out the car window and spoke in a magnetic voice. “I'm free today.” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Lucas couldn't help but laugh. “Do you want to meet up and have a drink with me?”

Leaning into his seat, Patrick replied, “I want to eat some home-cooked food. Do you have any restaurant recommendations?”

At that moment, Lucas was working hard at Lucy's house, tilling the soil without his shirt. It was because she commanded him to plant vegetables in her garden. “Lucy's pretty good at cooking. I guarantee you'll leave here satisfied.”

“All right, then.”

Then, Lucas tossed his phone to Lucy, who was watching him from the side with an umbrella. He wiped the sweat from his forehead away before glancing at the sun.

As sweltering as the weather was, he was a soldier. Hence, he could withstand the heat.

Holding the phone, Lucy asked, “Who's coming?”

“Pat,” answered Lucas while continuing to dig. “He says he wants to eat home-cooked food, so I invited him here.”

A dark look flashed past Lucy's eyes. What a coincidence. Earlier, Gwen called me, telling me that she'll be leaving work early and bringing her children here to let them play with Melanie. She also said there's something she wants to talk to me about.

Lucy and Gwendolyn were best friends, so whenever they had free time, they would spend it chatting together.

Since Lucas invited Patrick without asking me about it beforehand, dinner's going to be awkward when Gwen meets Patrick here.

Frowning, Lucy glared at Lucas. “Preparing dinner is tiring as is, yet you invited more guests to join us. I'm worried the quality of my dishes will be subpar, and Mr. Lowen won't be able to stomach it.”

The man smiled upon hearing that. “He won't. He's not that kind of person.” If he doesn't like the food, he'll merely refrain from eating it. He won't say he dislikes it. That much I'm confident about.

Furious, Lucy didn't want to keep him company anymore and returned to the house.

Seeing that, Lucas tossed his hoe aside.

Lucy reappeared on the second floor. “Continue the tilling. I want my vegetables planted today.”
