Chapter 716 They Will Help
Patrick and the boys hastily stood up and made their way up.
Estelle was stunned by what she saw. “Wow, Juliette's so blessed to have two doting brothers! But what's up with Mr. Lowen? Why is he rushing upstairs as well? He seems to care a lot about Juliette, too.”
He pampers her even though she's not his child. I'm so envious.
Kevin smirked while hugging her.
“Daughters will forever be their father's sweethearts. Aren't you your father's sweetheart too? How he dotes on you is exactly how Pat dotes on Juliette.”
Estelle was the only daughter of the Blenheim family with three elder brothers. Hence, she was the apple of everyone's eye.
Estelle agreed with him. “That's true. But still, Mr. Lowen is a good man. He treats Juliette like his own child even though she isn't. As expected, handsome guys are all gentlemen.”
Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly. She has a sound analysis, but she'll be disappointed once she knows the truth about her idol being Juliette's biological father. However, I can't divulge much since Pat hasn't made it public yet.
Meanwhile, in Melanie's room upstairs, Gwendolyn was comforting Juliette, who was nestling in her mother's arms and bawling her eyes out.
“Gwen, I had a nightmare. I dreamt that you, Justin, and Julian were gone.”
As Juliette's voice trailed off, she began bawling again.
Amused, Gwendolyn patted the girl on the back, comforting her.
“Don't cry, Sweetheart. That's only a dream; it's not real. Julian, Justin, and I will never leave you.”
The boys parroted Gwendolyn. “That's right. We'll never leave you.”
Patrick initially wanted to take the children back to make Gwendolyn panic.
However, he dismissed the notion as he watched the scene unfold.
He stood afar and did not approach them.
Juliette noticed him and reached out her hand at him.
“Mr. Lowen, hug me!”
Unable to resist her request, Patrick strode toward her. Sure enough, the bond of blood ties can't be severed. When Juliette first saw Patrick, she commented that he resembled her two brothers.
He did not think much of it at that time, but now, realization dawned upon him. Blood relatives share a tacit sense of connection.
Patrick took Juliette from Gwendolyn's arms and cradled the little girl.
Juliette wrapped her tiny arms around his neck. Feeling at ease, she giggled, her eyes narrowing into thin lines of pleasure.
“I feel like I'm not afraid of anything when Mr. Lowen hugs me.”
Justin and Julian exchanged a knowing glance. While Juliette might not have been aware that Patrick was their father, there seemed to be an innate connection between her and him.
Gwendolyn sighed to herself as she watched that scene.
What a beautiful sight. But alas, everything has been destroyed. It's hopeless now.
Gwendolyn helped Juliette comb her hair after the latter calmed down.
Patrick stood at a side, watching them before saying coldly, “You all can go downstairs for dinner soon. I'll make a move first.”
Patrick felt that his current identity didn't quite fit into their lives. Hence, he deliberately kept his distance.
Gwendolyn felt slightly disappointed as she watched his retreating figure.
“Ouch...”
Gwendolyn snapped out of her daze when she heard Juliette's sudden groan.
“Sorry, I used too much force.”
Julian pursed his lips while observing Gwendolyn with his brother.
He then whispered to Justin, “Justin, when do you think all five of us can reunite as a family?”
Justin was not optimistic.
He leaned closer to his brother and whispered back, “We need to help them.”
They were concerned that waiting for Patrick to take action would feel like an eternity. Patrick was too prideful; he would not admit to his true feelings and make the first move.
The earlier scene said it all. It was clear he cared about Juliette, but he pretended otherwise.
If the boys did not see through him, they would have thought he did not care.
At the same time, their mother was upset when Patrick left, yet she remained silent and dared not fight for her happiness.
It was understandable that the boys were worried. Thus, they decided to put their heads together and come up with ideas to bring Patrick and Gwendolyn together. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
