Chapter 54
After Patrick had left, Amelia cursed herself for officiousness and then went to the City Management
Office to pay the penalty.
Coming out of the Office, she saw two familiar figures outside a store.
It was Patrick!
And... Cynthia?
Through the ss window, Amelia saw them talking to the clerk in front of the counter. Judging from
the posture, it was obvious that Patrick was protecting Cynthia.
Seeing this, Amelia felt annoyed and unconsciously pursed her red lips. At this time, it happened
that Jessica called her and asked her for help in the coffee bar.
After saying yes, Amelia left as if she had saw nothing.
Inside the store.
Cynthia looked at Patrick with helplessness in her eyes and said, "Brother Patrick, I came here to
buy my father some supplements without expecting that I would be used of theft by the clerk."
Upon hearing this, the clerk sneered and said, "Miss, if you didn''t steal, why the rm was sounded
on you? You''d better be honest and return us what you stole. Otherwise, you can''t afford to
compensate!"
Listening for a long time, Patrick seriously asked
Cynthia, "Are you sure you didn''t take anything without paying from this store?"
Cynthia almost shouted out, "Of course not. Although I am poor, I never steal!"
"Okay." Patrick calmly said to the clerk, "Just call the police. Well just be waiting for them here. Even
if you want to search her body, you''d better ask a policewoman to do it."
Finishing the sentence, he sat down with Cynthia on the chairs.
The businessman couldn''t bear it and immediately called the police.
After a while, the police arrived. After the search, they found that it was abel stuck to Cynthia''s
shoe sole, whose serial code hadn''t been scanned and the system rmed automatically when she
stepped on the yellow line.

The clerk was shameless with apology and Patrick didn''t care about that. He paid the bill for Cynthia
and asked, "I drop you home?"
Facing such a considerate man, Cynthia felt amorous, replying with a tender smile, "Thank you,
brother Patrick!"
In the coffee bar.
"It''s crazy! Two guests were arguing with each other and then left without their baby? How
ridiculous!"
Comforting the crying baby girl in her arm, while busy in the kitchen, Jessicained to Amelia.
Coming out of the kitchen with porridge, Amelia sat down face to face with Jessica. She blew on the
porridge with a small spoon and fed it into the mouth of the baby girl who had not yet had sufficient
teeth.
With food in the stomach, the baby girl stopped crying. Looking at the skinny figure and the clear
eyes, Amelia said, "Maybe you are wrong. Perhaps the parents intentionally left the child in your
bar."
Jessica was stunned and said, "I think not. Who would be willing to throw away such a beautiful
baby..."
Amelia exined, "Some reasons like, sexual discrimination, congenital disability, can''t afford to
raise her up...."
A faint pain shed across Jessica''s eyes. Thinking twice, she said, "If what you said is true, then it
proves that this child is fated to be with me. Let me adopt her!"
Amelia advised, "If that''s the case, you have to make sure that she is abandoned. Then, you have
to prove to the court that you have the ability to raise her up. It takes time."
After saying that, hearing the baby girl''s crying, Amelia quickly took another spoon of porridge and
fed it to the girl.
Noticing Jessica''s intention, Amelia continued advising, "You should first advertise her photo on
media, trying to look for her parents. If no one asks for it, you can send her to the orphanage."
Jessica''s tone immediately cooled down, "Amelia, why are you so cold-blooded?"
Amelia sighed softly and said, "I just don''t want you to regret in the future."
"I regretted once!" As soon as she said this, Jessica suddenly realised that she had lost her temper.
She said guiltily, "My dear, I''m sorry. I''m not angry with you."
Amelia smiled and said "no worries" but thought deeply, "What did she mean by saying "I regretted
once"?"
At this time, the wind chimes hanging at the door of the cafe rang. Amelia subconsciously looked
who it was and got stunned. It was Patrick and Cynthia.
With the guidance of the waiter, they did not see her sitting in the corner. Jessica Albert asked with
a puzzled look, "Hey, your husband?"
Amelia didn''t say a word and Jessica sensibly shut up.
On the other side, Cynthia apologetically said to Patrick, "Brother Patrick, it''s all my fault. I forgot to
bring the key when I came out. At this time, my father should have gone to the market."
Patrick waved his hand to show that he didn''t care, ordering a cup of Blue Mountain coffee and
asked Cynthia, "What about you?"
"The same, please." Cynthia said obediently.
As soon as the waiter left their table, Jessica immediately asked, "Tim, what did they order?"
Tim answered, "Boss, two cups of Blue Mountain."
Jessica suddenly came up with an idea and winked at the frowning Amelia with a grin, "Would you
like me to...?"
Amelia looked at her confusedly and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"You''ll see," Jessica said and muttered in Tim''s ear, asking him to prepare.

Before the coffee arrived, Cynthia introduced Patrick hospitably, "Brother Patrick, the cake in this
bae is nice. Would you like to have a try?"
Patrick didn''t show any interest. In his view, Cynthia was just a little girl and he was not interested in
most of the things mentioned by her.
Without noticing his perfunctoriness, Cynthia still pointed to the menu and chattered.
"The Blue Mountain." At this time, Tim brought the coffee and turned around, making a gesture of
"OK" to his boss.
After talking for a while, Cynthia was thirsty. So she picked up the cup and took a sip, but her facial
expression changed immediately. If it weren''t for Patrick sitting opposite, she would have sprayed
the coffee.
Noticing the changes on Cynthia''s facial expression, Patrick asked, "What''s wrong?"
Cynthia stuck out her tongue and said with a bitter smile, "Something wrong with the coffee!"
Taking a sip without feeling anything strange, Patrick asked, "Sure?"
Cynthia''s face was distorted with disgust and she said, "There''s really something wrong. If you don''t
believe me, try mine."
Patrick didn''t touch the cup that pushed over by Cynthia, calling Tim and ordered, "Give me another
ss please. Not Blue Mountain but orange juice."
Cynthia bit her lower lip and thought her brother Patrick looking down upon her taste?"
In the distance, Jessica asked Amelia with an evil smile, "See?"
Amelia asked absent-mindedly, "What?"
"You stupid!" Jessica scolded, "If she was his lover, he would have tasted her coffee with her cup.
But you see, he didn''t even want to touch her cup. It seems that the little girl is self-sentimental."
