Chapter 674 Sorrow
A glimmer of surprise flittered across Estelle's eyes, and she gave Kevin a kick.
“What's going on? Aren't Mr. Lowen and Ms. Ashton a couple?” she whispered.
According to online articles, Patrick had a lot of rumored girlfriends, but Estelle was never convinced.
That was because she had witnessed how affectionate he was toward Gwendolyn. In fact, that was the type of man she adored and idolized.
At that time, she was impressed by his loyalty and commitment toward Gwendolyn.
That night, however, she sensed something was amiss when she saw Patrick treating the woman beside him nicely.
At the same time, Gwendolyn and Patrick were sitting far away from each other. Despite the distance, Gwendolyn was constantly peeking at him. On the contrary, he hadn't bothered to spare her a glance.
Did he dump Gwendolyn because he's gotten bored of her? The more Estelle thought about it, the angrier she got. Hence, she decided to ask Kevin about it.
Kevin heaved a sigh and served her some food. “Not bad. You noticed it, huh?” he murmured back.
Kevin had always thought she was an oblivious girl. After all, she had always been his precious treasure. It seems like she's grown more perceptive now that she's about to attend university.
“Well, I'm not a fool.”
“You were abroad prior to this, so I guess you didn't know what had happened here. Gwendolyn married the eldest son of the Surrington family. Pat went through an operation previously and fell into a coma. He has just regained consciousness, but he lost his memories. In other words, he has forgotten all about Gwendolyn.”
Estelle was stunned. “What? C-Can things get any more cringe?”
“I know, right?” Kevin let out a sigh.
No one else knew the intricacies of the situation more than Kevin.
Meanwhile, Gwendolyn was livid when she saw the way Patrick treated Jocelyn and how Jocelyn even wanted to drink on his behalf. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
However, no matter how angry or jealous she was, there was nothing she could say or do about it.
As she seethed inwardly, she started refilling her wine glass on her own.
Seeing that Gwendolyn was becoming unaware of her surroundings, Lucy quickly grabbed her hand and said, “Seriously? I brought you out to drink, but I'm not expecting you to get drunk!”
If Patrick and Jocelyn weren't there, Lucy wouldn't mind letting Gwendolyn get drunk.
However, that wasn't the case, and Lucy didn't want Gwendolyn to embarrass herself.
Gwendolyn snatched back the bottle of wine and retorted, “Leave me alone! After all, I'm not even drinking that much. Get off my back and keep Lucas company, will you? He's been glancing in my direction throughout the night. I bet he's cursing at me inwardly because I've been a gigantic third wheel.”
Back then, Gwendolyn would still advise Lucy to keep a distance from Lucas.
At that moment, however, her life was a total mess, and she felt she had lost the right to meddle in others' personal affairs.
Lucy glanced at Lucas when she heard those words. Upon seeing the look in his eyes, she instantly knew what he had on his mind.
Therefore, she lowered her gaze to peer at her dress. I knew it! I shouldn't have worn such a low-cut dress! That guy is having dirty thoughts in his mind, isn't he? If the others weren't around, I'm sure he wouldn't hesitate to pounce on me!
At that thought, Lucy grabbed another bottle of wine and filled up her own glass. “Gwen, I'll drink with you.”
Lucy didn't mind getting drunk because she knew the men at the scene wouldn't take advantage of them. If we get drunk, they'll just send us home.
“Let's go!” Gwendolyn's eyes lit up.
Just like that, the two began toasting each other.
After some time, they even started playing drinking games. Estelle's interest was piqued, so she sat beside Gwendolyn and asked, “Would you guys teach me?”
Gwendolyn and Lucy were good at drinking games, and that was especially the case for Lucy because of her profession. That was a skill set she had to have.
Gwendolyn turned to look at Estelle. As she was quite fond of the latter, she replied, “Sure!”
Thus, Estelle joined them, and the trio was having a good time.
Eventually, Gwendolyn was slightly tipsy, and she almost lost her balance when she stood up. “I need to go to the restroom.”
