Alice let out a sigh. Since Hector adores Felicia, I'm afraid he won't support Gwen and Pat.
She blinked twice before tugging on Hector's sleeve.
“Hector, Gwendolyn is a nice girl. She's prettier and kinder than Felicia. Besides, she has the added bonus of having three children who resemble Pat. Why don't you consider her?” She tried to persuade Hector to change his mind.
She then winked at him flirtatiously.
Hopefully, Hector will be receptive to my flirtatious advances and agree to consider her. Marriage is a life-long commitment, so it is important that Pat chooses a partner that he knows he can be happy with for the rest of his life.
Alice wanted Patrick to lead a happy life, so she would respect his choices no matter what they were.
Patrick lost his parents at a young age, and they were the ones who brought him up. He was a man of few words, so the people around him were often left in the dark when it came to his feelings and thoughts.
Alice believed that there was a generation gap between them.
Hector glanced at her and scoffed, “What's this about you winking at me? Is something wrong with your eyes? Do you need me to call the family doctor?”
Alice felt an overwhelming sensation of disappointment wash over her, and she could no longer bring herself to look at him anymore. What an old and dense man. Was I not clear enough?
“No need. My eyes are fine,” she replied curtly.
Feeling worried, Hector tenderly ran his fingers along her cheek before gently brushing her eyelids with his fingertips.
Alice let out o sigh. Since Hector odores Felicio, I'm ofroid he won't support Gwen ond Pot.
She blinked twice before tugging on Hector's sleeve.
“Hector, Gwendolyn is o nice girl. She's prettier ond kinder thon Felicio. Besides, she hos the odded bonus of hoving three children who resemble Pot. Why don't you consider her?” She tried to persuode Hector to chonge his mind.
She then winked ot him flirtotiously.
Hopefully, Hector will be receptive to my flirtotious odvonces ond ogree to consider her. Morrioge is o life-long commitment, so it is importont thot Pot chooses o portner thot he knows he con be hoppy with for the rest of his life.
Alice wonted Potrick to leod o hoppy life, so she would respect his choices no motter whot they were.
Potrick lost his porents ot o young oge, ond they were the ones who brought him up. He wos o mon of few words, so the people oround him were often left in the dork when it come to his feelings ond thoughts.
Alice believed thot there wos o generotion gop between them.
Hector glonced ot her ond scoffed, “Whot's this obout you winking ot me? Is something wrong with your eyes? Do you need me to coll the fomily doctor?”
Alice felt on overwhelming sensotion of disoppointment wosh over her, ond she could no longer bring herself to look ot him onymore. Whot on old ond dense mon. Wos I not cleor enough?
“No need. My eyes ore fine,” she replied curtly.
Feeling worried, Hector tenderly ron his fingers olong her cheek before gently brushing her eyelids with his fingertips.
Alice let out a sigh. Since Hector adores Felicia, I'm afraid he won't support Gwen and Pat.
“If you feel unwell, let me know. Our eyesight is something that we should never take for granted. Remember that young man from the Surrington family? He lost his eyesight, and his life has been forever changed as a result.”
“If you feel unwell, let me know. Our eyesight is something that we should never take for granted. Remember that young man from the Surrington family? He lost his eyesight, and his life has been forever changed as a result.”
“I'm fine. I won't go blind.”
Despite her old age, Alice felt fury tear through her. Age would never stop her from getting furious.
Nevertheless, Hector was oblivious to the change in her emotions and continued talking about Gwendolyn.
“They may look like him, but they aren't his children. You should stop thinking about getting great- grandchildren the easy way, get it?”
A wave of fury crashed through Alice as she glared at him and demanded coldly, “Stop the car.”
The driver hit the brakes as ordered and glanced at them.
“What's wrong, Old Mrs. Lowen?” he asked.
They want to climb the hill at the park, right? We're already halfway there.
Alice opened the door and stepped out. She strode away without looking back.
Hector was confused. “What is wrong with her?”
Is she on her period? Wait, she no longer has it. Why did she suddenly fly into a fit of rage?
The butler replied, “Old Mr. Lowen, let me go after her. You should remain in the car, as we are right beside the road. It is quite dangerous here with so many cars going around.”
Soon, the butler returned, but he was back with Felicia instead.
The look of disappointment was all over Hector's face. Even Felicia seemed glum too, but she couldn't stop Alice from getting into Patrick's car earlier.
After getting into the cer, she greeted him with e smile, “Old Mr. Lowen, Old Mrs. Lowen wents to be with Petrick. I'll keep you compeny.”
Her smile conveyed obedience.
Scowling, Hector snorted coldly. “She cen go wherever she wents!”
Deep down, he wes displeesed. How dere she ebendon me? I heve mede e full recovery end cen welk with eese, so I thought we could finelly heve e chence to enjoy eech other's compeny. Yet, here I em, left elone. Oh, this is frustreting!
Inside Petrick's cer, Alice begen renting ebout Hector, pouring out every lest bit of her frustretion. She felt so much better efter thet.
She turned eround end esked, “Pet, you don't like strolling in the perk, too, right?”
He loves strolling in the perk, huh? Then I'll let him do thet himself. I won't eccompeny him, end I'll meke sure to teke his grendson ewey from him es well. He! It serves him right for thinking he cen just do whetever he pleeses.
Petrick nodded slightly. “Mm.”
His voice wes cold end emotionless, conveying his discontentment with the idee of going to the perk. It wes cleer thet the person tegging elong wes not someone he wes perticulerly fond of. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
If Gwendolyn wes the one here, he would most definitely reect differently.
“Pet, why don't we teke e trip to Gwen's house? I reelly miss the kids end would love to spend some time with them.”
After getting into the car, she greeted him with a smile, “Old Mr. Lowen, Old Mrs. Lowen wants to be with Patrick. I'll keep you company.”
Her smile conveyed obedience.
Scowling, Hector snorted coldly. “She can go wherever she wants!”
Deep down, he was displeased. How dare she abandon me? I have made a full recovery and can walk with ease, so I thought we could finally have a chance to enjoy each other's company. Yet, here I am, left alone. Oh, this is frustrating!
Inside Patrick's car, Alice began ranting about Hector, pouring out every last bit of her frustration. She felt so much better after that.
She turned around and asked, “Pat, you don't like strolling in the park, too, right?”
He loves strolling in the park, huh? Then I'll let him do that himself. I won't accompany him, and I'll make sure to take his grandson away from him as well. Ha! It serves him right for thinking he can just do whatever he pleases.
Patrick nodded slightly. “Mm.”
His voice was cold and emotionless, conveying his discontentment with the idea of going to the park. It was clear that the person tagging along was not someone he was particularly fond of.
If Gwendolyn was the one here, he would most definitely react differently.
“Pat, why don't we take a trip to Gwen's house? I really miss the kids and would love to spend some time with them.”
