Violet puffed her cheeks and straightened her back. Her tone became a little aggressive. It was as if she wanted to vent all the
unhappiness she felt during this time. “Weren’t you on a date? Rose told me personally in the bathroom!”
“What did she say to you?” asked Patrick.
Alook of displeasure shed across Violet’s face. “She told me that you guys were on a date!”
Patrick’s expression turned a little cold. “She said that I’m dating her?”
Violet nodded. “That''s right. Don’t tell me that it wasn’t her. | smelled her perfume on you that night. Don’t tell me that it’s also a
coincidence!”
Patrick shook his head, his expression indistinguishable. “That is not a coincidence.”
Violet choked. She felt extremely ufortable, but she could not show it. She straightened her neck and turned her head
away. “In that case; there’s nothing else to say. Although I’m not qualified to care which woman you''re dating, I’m obsessed with.
cleanliness. Don’t string me along if you want to be two-timing!”
Patrick sounded a little helpless. “You almost got into a car ident. Why are you still so hot-tempered!”
Violet could not control the jealousy in her heart. “I’m not hot-tempered at all. I’m just telling the truth!”
Patrick sighed helplessly. His expression was not as dark as before. “There’s nothing between me and Rose!”
Without thinking, Violet blurted out, “You guys were already on a date. How can there be nothing between you two? Who are you

Patrick did not expect Violet to see him that night.
There was a sh in his eyes. “There were other people in the private room at that time. A director and a producer. | can show

There was a flint in Violet’s eyes as she looked at him doubtfully.
Patrick walked over and stood by the bed, looking down at her. “As for the photo of the

Violenughed out in anger when she heard this. “Did she? Does that kind of exnation count? | think the hug really

Patrick stared an Violer in surprise. “Violet, you’re so angry... Don’t tell me youre jealous!”
Violet immediately looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She lookers guarded as Vicil back at home. “What

woman? Can you think about it from another perspective? How would you feel if | wanted to kiss you while smelling like another
man’s cigarettes and alcohol?”
Patrick’s expression inatamly darkened. His entire person exuded a terrifyingly sinister aura. “You want to smell like another
man’s cigarettes and alcohol?”
Violet could not help but tower. She was a little afraid, but she said, “Don’t try to scare me with that tone. I’m mad!”
Patrick looked at her deeply and did not speak. He seemed a little angry.
She red at Patrick angrily: “Wits with the double standard? You can do it but | can’t?”
Violet turned her head away ufortably after she finished speaking. She was a little afraid of Patrick
Patrick suddenly reached out and pinched Violet''s chin, forcing Violet to look at him.N?velDrama.Org content rights.
Violet''s entire body was stiff, and her expression was extremely tense.
Patrick said in a deep voice, “Violet, since youve registered your marriage with me, don’t provoke me with such words. I''ll chop
up any man who dares to touch you and feed him to the dogs.”
Violet panicked. “Y—you can’t even staymitmed to the rtionship. W—what right do you have to ask me to staymitted
so domineeringly?”
Patrick lowered his head. The two of them looked an each other. Their faces were less than a fist’s width apart.
He said, “Because... | stayedmitted. | can tell you whnever you want to know, but there really is nothing between Rose and
me.
He paused for a moment. He felt that an exnation like huu was a little perfunctory.

He continued. “The reason why | smelled like her perfume was because she threw
herself into my arms when | saved her. The reason why she could be thepany’s jewelry spokesperson was because |
asked her to hold a press conference to exin my rtionship with her. That''s all!”
Violet looked at him in shock. “How is that possible!”
She thought that Rose had deliberately put on that press conference to show off her rtionship with Patrick.
She stared at Patrick, her expression changing. She was still a little doubtful. “Is what you said true?”
Patrick stared at her for a while. He let go of her chin and sat down by the bed. “What do you think the truth is?*
Violet frowned. ‘B—but the outside world thinks...
Patrick swept his gaze across Violet’s chin. A dark glint shed across his eyes when he saw that her chin was slightly red from
his pinch.
He interrupted Violet. “It doesn’t matter what others think. What matters is what you
think.
Violet looked at Patrick in shock. Her mouth was agape and she looked a little silly.
Patrick felt that what he said was a little too flirtatious. An unnatural expression shed across his face as he exined. “What |
mean is that others have nothing to do with me, and you''re the one who registered the marriage with me. Everything’s fine as
long as you understand that I’m not the kind of person who cheats on others.”
Violet bit her lip.
She didn’t know if her feelings for Patrick had changed or if she had be stupid or if it was because of something else, but
she actually believed Patrick’s simple exnation.
However, she still felt a little unhappy when she thought about how Rose had managed to be a spokesperson for the
company and was involved in an online scandal with
Patrick.
She nced at Patrick’s handsome side profile and quickly looked away.
She felt that she was done for. She started to worry about losing him now that she had discovered the change in her feelings for
Patrick. It was terrible.
Patrick could not help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the change in Violet''s expression. “What else do you want to know?”
