Patrick was a little unhappy. “Why? Am | that embarrassing that you can’t bring me out? He helped my wife. Can’t | even thank


    him?”


    Violet saw that Patrick was too immersed in his role as her temporary husband and could not help but say tactfully, “It’s not like


    that. Gabriel’s favor... I''ve already returned it. The matter ends here!”


    Patrick snorted and frowned unhappily. “Alright. I''ll listen to you!”


    Violet''s emotions were veryplicated. She could sense that Patrick was different from before.


    In the past, he would not say that she was his wife and he would listen to her. Now, not only did he respect her thoughts, but he


    also took the initiative to apologize to her!


    However, she was really not used to it!


    His current behavior did not make things as clear as when he put on a cold demeanor before!


    Violet was a little flustered when faced with such behavior from Patrick.


    Patrick seemed to have noticed her uneasiness. He frowned. “Violet, you can treat me as a friend in the future!”


    Patrick had actually nned it out. They could first be friends, then friends to lovers. They were husband and wife ording to


    their co In the future, they would be intimate and be real husband and It would be a smooth progression!


    Violet did not know what he was thinking. She looked at him in horror “What! Friend?”


    What was wrong with Patrick? He actually wanted to be friends with her!


    Patrick’s thoughts were essentially wishful thinking. He did not expect Violet to have such a reaction.


    His face immediately darkened, and his expression turned extremely ugly.

    Violet muttered inwardly, “With such a temperament, who would dare to be friends with you!”


    Patrick stared at Violet and suddenly said, “Violet, are you secretly scolding me in your mind?”


    Violetughed dryly. “No. Definitely not!”


    Patrick looked at her with aplicated expression. “When you deny it twice, it is equivalent to affirmation. Don’t you know?”


    Violet was instantly dumbfounded. “He may just be able to read my mind,” she thought.


    Patrick sighed lightly. “Violet, you don’t have to be afraid of me. I’m not fierce, and I’m especially not fierce to you!”


    Violet smiled stiffly. “Mr. Hersey, I’m not afraid of you!”


    Patrick felt a little helpless. She could not even change the way she addressed him. How could she say that she was not afraid


    of him?N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    Violetined silently, “You are not fierce to me. But you definitely will scare me to death!”


    Patrick did not say anything else along the way.


    When they returned to Hersey Court, Patrick saw Violet change her shoes and then nned to go upstairs without looking back.


    He felt a little suffocated. Wasn''t he being obvious enough?


    He grabbed Violet''s arm and pressed her up against the entrance. “Violet, can’t you tell what | mean?”


    Violet looked at him innocently. “What do you mean?”


    She would never have thought that someone whom she had improper thoughts about would have improper thoughts about her!


    i


    Patrick looked at Violet and asked sincerely, “Violet, do you have any thoughts about me?”


    TIET THU, dan an


    Violet looked at him in surprise. rm bells went off in her mind, and her expression became cold and distant. “Mr. Hersey, |


    don’t have any


    thoughts about you!”


    Patrick frowned. “Actually... You can have them!”


    Violet shook her head repeatedly. “I really don’t


    have any!


    Patrick frowned hard. “But you really can!”


    Violet insisted, “Mr. Hersey, | swear to G od , | really don’t have any!”


    Patrick released the hand that was holding Violet.


    He looked weak as he said, “Do you reject me that much?”


    Violet stared at him in silence.


    How was she supposed to answer him? If she didn’t reject him, that would mean she harbored improper thoughts about him!


    Seeing that Violet did not say anything, Patrick looked a little defeated. “Forget it. You can go upstairs first!”


    When Robert received Patrick''s call, his subordinate was telling him that Ronald and his daughter had already been sent to the


    ne.


    Patrick briefly exined his conversation with Violet to Robert. “Do you think she really can’t tell what | mean?”


    Robertughed gloatingly. “If you ask me, you deserve it. Who asked you to call me a fool at dinner? Now you''re getting your


    retribution!”


    Patrick was speechless. “Can you be a bit helpful?”


    Robert naturally knew that Patrick was deliberately making things difficult for him during the dinner for Ronald to see.


    He said seriously, “Well, | personally feel that Violet really can’t sense what you mean. Who asked you to be so reserved and


    tactful? If it were me, | wouldn''t be able to tell either. You asked her not to have any improper thoughts about you, and then you


    asked her what she thought of you. In

    my opinion, you''re no different from a lun atic!”


    Patrick’s face darkened. “I asked you toe up with ideas, not to ridicule


    me!”


    Robertughed out loud. He clicked his tongue. “I didn’t think I''d ever have the chance to see you suffer. If you ask me, don’t


    oveplicate it. Put down your arrogance and pride and just confess to her!”


    Patrick denied it without thinking. “No. Even if | really want to confess to her, it can’t be now. She’s obviously not interested in me


    at all now. If | tell her directly, I''ll definitely be rejected. | have no chance at all!”


    Robert thought about it and shrugged helplessly. “Then | can’t help you even if | want to. However, women can''t resist courtship


    by men. No. matter how aloof and cold a woman is, she can’t resist a man’s passion and persistent pursuit. If you can treat her


    well for a year, even if you don’t confess how you feel for her, she will definitely fall for you!”


    Patrick was a little uncertain. “Really?”


    After all, Robert had never been what he called reliable!


    Robert was a little sleepy. He yawned and said, “Really! Even if you don’t believe me, it’s not wrong to treat her well! I’m sleepy.


    I''ll head to bed first. You can take your time to think about it!”


    After hanging up, Patrick lit a cigarette. He sat on the couch like a statue and began to smoke.


    He realized that ever since he confirmed his feelings for Violet, he wanted to smoke more and more. The feeling he had for Violet


    could beparable to his smoking addiction!


    It was Saturday the next day.


    When Violet went downstairs in the morning, she found that Patrick had actually fallen asleep on the couch.


    She was shocked. “What did this person dost night? Why did he fall asleep here?” she wondered.

    Vi was sleeping soundly beside him, snoring loudly.


    Violet could not help butugh when she saw this scene. She took out her phone and took a photo of them.


    After taking the photo, she took a nket and covered Patrick with it. She called the butler over and asked him to take note of


    Patrick. If Patrick caught a cold today, he would have to take medicine in time.


    After saying that, she went to Megan’s ce.


    Megan had taken two days off because of Skyler and Ellie. She had been at home for the past two days.


    Violet nned to apany her.


    As evening approached, Freddie called. “Vi, can you have dinner with me today?”


    Violet was about to refuse. “I’m going to...”


    Freddie could not help but interrupt her. “Vi, are you nning to hide. from me for the rest of your life? I''ve already returned to


    Summerwood City. You''re always hiding from me. You can’t do it forever, right? I’m going away for a field inspection tomorrow. |


    might not be able to see you for a few days. Can you have dinner with me?”
