Chapter 92
As soon as Amelia finished the sentence, Patrick said, "Let me see you off."
She was somewhat surprised, and felt he had something to tell her.
After the the couple left, Howard said to Eve, who was still pretending to be weak, "They're gone."
Hearing this, Eve sat up and hit Howard with complaint, "Why do you like Amelia this much? She didn't show any respect to her mother-in-law at all."
Howard held Eve's hand and said, "Your standard is too high and your control over Patrick is too strong. You don't trust any other woman to get into his life."
This sentence seemed to have hit Eve's heart and tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "Patrick has been through a lot. At that time, I vowed that I had to assess our younger daughter- in- law before their marriage. But I didn't expect you to decide on Amelia without discussion with me..."
"All right, all right. I have appreciated Amelia's character. If she is bad, how could I approve their knot?"
Eve continued, "If I had known it earlier, I would have asked Patrick to tie the knot with Paisley, who is gentle and tender, a perfect match for Patrick."
Howard asked, "But who denied Paisley by saying a surgeon was too tired to look after the family."
Eve was stunned.
At the entrance of Impatient.
Amelia stopped and turned to Patrick and said, "That's it for today. I gotta go for my 'Little Sheep'."
The air outside was much fresher than the Impatient. Patrick loosened two buttons of his shirt. After calming down, he asked slowly, "What mom told... is true?"
Amelia was confused and asked, "What did she say?"
Patrick stared into her eyes and said word by word, "Your mother was forced to death by your father?"
Amelia's eyes dimmed for two seconds and said reluctantly, "Not necessarily. But she really committed suicide because she was trapped in love."
Suicide?
Patrick was shocked. He regretted what he had said to Amelia in a fit of anger yesterday, especially wronging her that she could even disregard George's sickness.
"I..." He wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
Amelia didn't have any interest in talking about the past. Seeing that Patrick wanted to ask more, she quickly changed the topic, "Coming home for dinner tonight?"
"...Yeah." Patrick answered.
But he had no idea why he agreed. He was obviously angry with her before, might be out of sympathy and some guilt.
Hearing this, Amelia smiled and seemed very happy. She said, "Welcome home."
In the evening. At home.
Knowing that Patrick liked to light dishes, Amelia didn't add any chili or garlic in the meat.
It was hot summer, so she cooked a bowl of duck soup to help him eliminate the inner heat. Everything was ready, and she was waiting for Patrick.
At the same time, in the emergency center.
When Paisley was bandaging Eve's wound, Eve said, "My dear, how will you go home? Why not let Patrick drop you?"
Paisley was stunned, and then said with a smile, "Oh, thank you, auntie."
Eve waved her hand and said, "No worries." Then she turned to Patrick and said, "Patrick, thanks to Paisley taking care of me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have recovered soon."
Patrick frowned, but nodded reluctantly.

In Lamborghini, Patrick asked where Paisley lived.
Staring at Patrick's serious face, Paisley wanted to tease him, saying, "I live alone and I don't wanna cook tonight. Maybe we dine out?"
Patrick glanced at his wristwatch. It was 6:30pm and it was early, so he asked, "Anything you recommend nearby?" "Sure." Paisley joked, "Seems you really wanna go home early and dine with your beautiful wife?"
Patrick didn't answer and decided on a Thai restaurant nearby.
Paisley didn't mind and ate slowly. Seeing that Patrick wasn't interested, she asked in confusion, "Why don't you start?"
"I wanna dine at home." Patrick replied calmly.
"I see..." Paisley felt a little envious of Amelia who had been waiting for him at home.
At this time, Patrick stood up and said, "Excuse me."
A few seconds after Patrick left, his cell phone rang, which was left on the table, and Paisley picked the call without hesitation.
"Mr. Hopper, are you on the way home?"
Paisley felt that it was Amelia and said, "Hello, Paisley speaking. Patrick is with me for dinner."
There was a long silence before an "okay" came from the opposite side.
Paisley continued, "Don't get me wrong. Patrick is in the toilet. If there is something urgent, I will pass it to him."
There seemed to be a sneer on the other side and Amelia said, "Fine."
Before Paisley put down his phone, Patrick came back.
His sight was like a sharp blade, piercing into Paisley's hand. He asked, "Why did you take my phone?"
Paisley shrugged her shoulders and said frankly, "Your phone just rang and I picked it for you just in case of anything urgent. It was your wife and I told her that you are here with me for dinner, and then she hung up."
Seeing Patrick was getting annoyed, Paisley felt sorry and said, "Did I say anything wrong?"
Since the two families had known each other for long and Paisley was a lady, Patrick could only took his phone back and said coldly, "Let's go. I'll drop you home."
Paisley pointed at the dishes and said, "But I haven't finished them." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
However, Patrick couldn't wait any longer and said, "Then enjoy yourself here."
Before she could understand what Patrick mean, she was left alone.
Paisley stared at Patrick's back with embarrassment and felt bit of frustrated.
On the way, Patrick called Amelia back but she couldn't be reached. He was inexplicably annoyed and could only drive crazy.
At the Land of Fragrance.
"Are you sure you want to come over? It's a messy bar. Your husband won't be worried about you?"
Looking at the food she prepared for long, Amelia said to Lucy, who was talking on the phone, "I just want to go to have a drink and relax myself."
"Okay, just come! I'll ask the wine manager to prepare you a glass of red-and-white beauties." Lucy said.
Amelia had no idea about the wine but wanted to relax herself.
In the F&S Club.
When Amelia passed through the noisy crowd, she found Lucy was lying in the arms of the two young men on the sofa, and one of their hands had already reached into her collar...
Amelia felt angry and shouted, "Stop!"
