"Patrick!" Gloria pushed Patrick away, and the quilt fell to the ground.
She glared at Patrick's lower body under the pajamas and shouted, "What are you doing?" "Gloria, I couldn't bear it," Patrick said with a flushed face. Looking at his innocent face, Gloria was even more furious. With a cold face, she got out of bed without saying a word. She ignored Patrick and went to the bathroom. She scolded herself inwardly as she walked, 'I was such an idiot. How could I allow Patrick to sleep on the bed?' When Gloria thought of what had just happened, she kept wiping her hand against her pajamas, until her skin was rubbed red. After washing up, she returned to the room. But Patrick was still there. "Why are you still here?" Patrick stared at her with his innocent eyes. He leaned against the wall at a loss and panted slightly. "I feel hot, Gloria. I couldn't bear it." Gloria clenched her fists. She knew why he was feelRelated chapters

In a room near the luxurious banquet hall stood a man and a woman. "Relax," Lucas, in a light-colored suit, approached Gloria's ear and whispered. Gloria took a small step back, yet no matter how imperceptible her movement was, Lucas still noticed keenly. He took a few steps back gentlemanly and said with a chuckle, "Gloria, just relax." She clenched her fists, feeling the sticky sweat in her palms. Of course, she would be nervous. The person she was about to meet was very important to the Carter Group. "Actually, there's no need to hurry. He comes here every year for a holiday, and usually, he will be staying for a month or so." Lucas' voice was elegant and deep like a cello. "So, Gloria, you really don't need to see him right after you get off the plane." She shook her head. Even now, her heart was still a mess. After what happened that time, she fled without telling anyone. Only she knew what she was running away from.

Gloria and Klein left, leaving only Heath and Lucas in the large reception room. "Is it her? The reason why were you willing to owe me a favor and have me fly here? Is she that important?" Heath gracefully walked to the bar counter and poured himself a glass of whiskey. "Another glass?" He raised the glass to Lucas and gestured. "She is someone I desperately want to be with, someone I want to just keep for myself." He did not know how important Gloria was to Lucas. "Mike wanted me to ask you if that person is OK," Lucas said, changing the topic. "Mike? After all these years, he still hasn't moved on? I always thought that Mike was the only guy who wouldn't let go. But now that I see you, I know that you are screwed as well." Heath shook his head. Lucas did not explain. He chuckled and said, "Both you and Mike are so full of yourself, aren't you?" Heath gulped down the wine in his glass and suddenly said, "She is excellent." "

For the week after, Gloria locked herself in her room and worked on the project. Lucas would come to her from time to time. Sometimes, he would ask her to eat with him. Sometimes, he would just lie on her sofa and wait for her for the whole morning. He did not disturb her, and she had gotten used to his company as time passed by. Mandy did not call Gloria anymore. Instead, she contacted Gloria through text messages. Every day, she would tell Gloria that Patrick was fine. He ate well and was in good health. The Carter Group became partners with Heath. Such an outcome was both expected and unexpected. The moment the two parties signed the contract, Gloria was silent, her eyes lit up all of a sudden as if the thing that she had been waiting for a long time had finally been completed. It was also at this moment that she seemed to have no reason to continue staying here. "Thank you, Lucas." She thought, 'He helps me a lot. Without Heath,

Gloria struggled fiercely, trying to break free from his arms. "I don't understand what you are saying. The only thing I know is that I am doing great," she said angrily. "Doing great? Really? Gloria, stop lying to yourself! Are you really doing great? Gloria, are you sure of it?" Lucas blurted out, yet in the next second, he suddenly stopped. He forced himself to calm down, closed his eyes, and opened them again. When his hand touched her long hair, he stopped. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you really not living in the past? Then why do you still keep your hair long? Because of Patrick? Is he really that unforgettable?" Gloria's face turned ghastly pale in the blink of an eye. "Let go!" She panicked. She wanted to escape. In such a case, she wouldn't need to face it, so she wouldn't be in so much pain. Thus, she escaped. The moment she did so, a strong sense of unwillingness appeared in Lucas' eyes. Lucas wouldn't le

Gloria thought, 'What if I could go back in time? What if I get to choose again? I think I would still choose to work with Lucas because I had to keep the Carter Group going.' Gloria pulled out the chair and looked deeply at Lucas again. Then she turned around and left decisively. As he watched her walking away step by step, staggering, he said, "Gloria!" Lucas' deep voice was as magnificent as a cell, it echoed behind her. He looked at Gloria's back, ignoring the sudden sense of loss in his heart. He felt that he had lost something very important. He shouted at her, "The woman I choose will keep her hair long just for me! That woman will be the love of my life!" Gloria did not stop. She stood with her back to Lucas, and there was a smile on her delicate face. She said in a tender voice, "Good luck. And goodbye." At the dining table, Lucas put the last bit of pasta into his mouth. He chewed hard and closed his eyes.

Camille roared hysterically, "You can't be so heartless! In fact, the Carter Group and the Silver Spring Pack were both Harry's! He has given the Carter Group to you, and you just need to donate marrow to him, but why did you refuse time and time again? What else do you want? I will give you everything you want. Can you save Harry? I beg you." In the waiting room of the airport, Gloria sat alone in a corner. She seemed to be enduring something desperately, her body trembling. She clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth, "If you care about the Carter Group so much, take it!" She had already put too much effort into the messy Carter Group and did many things unwillingly. Everyone thought that she had taken advantage of the Carter family. "I don't believe that you are willing to give up on it. If you do, you are either a fool or a liar. You are just coaxing me." Camille mocked. Gloria closed her eyes and listened to Camille's voice

Gloria lay on the bed, and her heart was a mess. When she entered the bedroom, Patrick followed her in, holding the quilt she had just taken to the living room. This time, Gloria did not berate him or ask him to leave. Patrick's eyes were bright and lit up with joy. She had mixed feelings. She thought of the changes in Patrick over the past few days and what he had done that night. Patrick only had a child's mind, yet he still protected her from the attacks of the vicious rogues. He could escape, but he didn't. Gloria recalled that Patrick got up at midnight and warmed her feet. Which one was the real Patrick? Patrick lay down beside her. Her body stiffened, and she was about to scold him, but in the end, she moved aside with her quilt and said coldly, "You are not allowed to get under my blanket or touch me. Otherwise, I'll kick you out." Patrick yawned and asked, "Gloria, will you let me stay if I do whatever you tol

"How did he provoke you?" Gloria didn't speak for a long time, and Stewart asked awkwardly. Gloria froze and was speechless. Her expression changed dramatically. "Forget it! Just come and take him away today! I don't want to see him again!" Gloria shouted. "Gloria, if you don't like me to kiss you, I won't do it again. Don't send me away, please." Patrick's voice sounded. Gloria's hand trembled, and she had a headache. There was a strange silence on the phone. Gloria could guess Stewart's expression on the other side of the line. "Shut up!" She shouted at Patrick, who was trying to soften her up. "So that's the reason. He's quite a jerk." Stewart rubbed his nose and wanted to laugh, but he did not dare to provoke Gloria further. He could only hold back his laughter, and his face was distorted. "Gloria, Alpha Alex took the opportunity to intervene in the internal affairs of the Hammond Group. I have been going crazy dealing wi
