Amelia felt guilty all of a sudden
Seeing that Amelia treated her pet better than how she treated him, even though Patrick was the one who constantly taking care of her, Patrick could not help saying, "Are you trying to complain that we are saying you fat? Where else can you find such a caring owner who takes care of your daily life and plays with you every day and yet you aren't even guarding the house?"
Seeing that Rick dropped his ear and stop wagging his tail, Amelia took a step forward and defended Rick, "Are you done? Rick is not even one year old. What are you expecting from him?"
Patrick said bitterly, “You're spoiling him!" Amelia then replied motionlessly, "What's wrong with me spoiling him? He wasn't using your resources anyway!"
That was right. Ever since they implemented the selfspending system, Amelia took care of Rick's expenses and she did not take a single penny from Patrick
Patrick did not know what to do with Amelia, so he gave Rick a stare-down
Patrick's stare scared Rick so much that he immediately distance himself away from Amelia.
However, as the leash was held by Amelia, he did not go far before Amelia gave him a gentle tug and pulled him back. Rick could only glance helplessly at Amelia and bathe under Patrick's deadly gaze.
The Land of Fragrance was located at the side of a river and the scenery during sunset was breathtaking.
Amelia encountered a lot of residents who went out for a walk along the way. Each couple was so close to each other. They were either holding hands or leaning against each other. They looked like they had lots of things to talk about, and these made her a little emotional.
In fact, happiness could be easily obtained. As long as one had the passion to pursue it, it was always there.
At this moment, Amelia felt that her leash was being tugged.
She turned over and saw Rick ran towards a tree and peed under the tree.
Patrick who was standing next to her stared at her arm and asked, "Are your hands tired?"
The scenery, the wind and the peaceful look on the passers-by's faces affected Amelia's mood. She then said happily, "I'm fine.” Patrick knew that saying "I'm fine” meant that she was “a little tired", but she always kept it to herself instead of letting others help her. He then raised his hand and held Amelia's hand in his.
Noticing that she wanted to pull her hands away, Patrick said in a low voice, "If you let go, I will do the same too. With Rick's exciting behavior, if we let go of the leash now, Rick would be sure to run away and you could never catch up with him. Do you want to give it a try?"
“You!” Amelia turned around and glared at him.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
However, his eyes darkened. "Honey, don't look at me like that. Otherwise, I will uncontrollably kiss you and tease you in front of our neighbours." Amelia bit her lower lips and quickly lowered her eyes.
After her previous experiences, she had no doubt that Patrick would definitely do what he said!
Patrick saw her lowering her eyes and fall to his power. He felt a sense of satisfaction in his chest.
Of course, if he could hold Amelia in his arms right this moment. he would feel even more satisfied!
After Rick finished peeing, he shook his legs comfortably. As he was about to return to Amelia, a beautiful big Golden Retriever appeared in front of him
The Golden Retriever stood in front of Rick, like how Shaquille O'Neal was in front of a normal person.
Although it was tall, the Golden Retriever was friendly. It wanted to walk around Rick but Rick rushed towards it while shaking his head. It was like he was happy to find a play pal.
The Golden Retriever carefully sniffed Rick. When it confirmed that Rick was still a puppy, it could not help but stick out its tongue and lick the tip of Rick's nose.
Patrick said, “It seems that Rick found himself a playmate."
Amelia said, "Yeap."
"Shall we let them play for a while?” Patrick suggested.
Amelia answer, "Sure."
Patrick had successfully found a reason to spend some time alone with Amelia
They were sitting on a public bench not far away from Rick and the Golden Retriever. Amelia was holding the leash and Patrick was holding her hand.
The evening breeze blew past them. Patrick took advantage of the atmosphere and said, "Regarding dad's condition, I've already invited professional doctors to help and check upon him.”
Under Amelia surprised gaze, Patrick continued on, "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you earlier." Amelia recovered her senses after a long time. "It's not you, even Alice didn't tell me about this!” Patrick explained, "I was the one who called her, and asked her not to tell you."
Amelia asked with a complicated mood, "Why?"
Patrick took a deep look at her and said. "Well, you know."
Yes, she knew...
Some time ago, they had a fight. If someone had told her what Patrick had done for George, her mood would just worsen. She would even turn down Patrick's kindness!
Was he telling her all this at this point, so that he could shut her up and focus his attention on how to protect Sissi?
Whatever, fro matter who he was doing thisfor, it undoubtedly > benefited George. She should thank him out of politeness. "Thank you, shoutd do all this myself butd don't have these kinds of connections."
"Don't thank me! Don't forget that your father is my father too,” Patrick said sincerely.
Amelia's eyes were filled with mixed emotion at this time. She then said, "I really hope my father can get better..." "He will.” Patrick's comfort was short but useful
The next day, at Apex Construction Corporation.
"President Ramsay, your mobile phone is ringing.” Audrey who was cleaning up her desk turned and said to Amelia who was reading the document with his head down.
"Yeap, I'm aware," Amelia said softly as she reached out to pick up her phone.
When she lowered her head and saw the caller on the screen, Amelia's expression changed. The next second, she answered the phone excitedly.
"Milton! Are you back in Northville?!" That was the first question Amelia asked
As for why she was sure that Milton was not in England but in Northville was because Milton promised that as soon as he returned to Northville, he would change back to his previous number.
The man on the other end of the phone said sasually, "I came back last nightsaut I didn't want to distur your sleep because it was really fate. What are you doing now? Do you havetime for acup of tea? Ihave heard that you have now made your
father's company really famous...”
Amelia smiled and said, "No way the company's famous. To be accurate, it's going rg through a storm instead. But I' mquite free at the moment. Whete do you want to meetup, I'll go-where you want!" Content bélongs ~
“You'll go where I want? Then if I want to drink some alcohol and do things that are not safe for work, would you be willing to agree to my request?" Milton asked while smiling like a thug.
