Chapter 198
Patrick smiled coldly and said, "You remember it clearly."
Amelia smiled bitterly. She knew Milton at her mother''s funeral. How could she not remember it
clearly?
Patrick asked stiffly, "Has he... ever chased after you in the past 20 years?"
"Yes." Looking at Patrick''s fierce eyes, Amelia said honestly, "But I don''t have any other thoughts
except treating him as my good friend."
"You don''t have any other thoughts?" Patrick was deeply suspicious, "I think you keep him on the
back burner."
Amelia spoke for Milton, "There are many women who like Milton, okay? You''re insulting him!"
Patrick said with cold eyes, "Perhaps, in his eyes, those women can''t bepared with you."
Amelia touched the position of her heart and sighed, "That only shows that I am too charming. As
my husband, do you feel stressed? But don''t worry, since I have married you, I won''t fall in love with
others."
After hearing her words, Patrick was no more angry and was amused.
It seemed that if he continued to interfere her friendship with Milton, it would prove that he cared
about her very much and she would be so smug.
His eyes became cold, "You can leave now." "Okay." After nodding, Amelia really turned around and
left.
After she left, Patrick leaned on the sofa and thought in his heart, "If Sissi didn''t insist on leaving
me, how many would we have been together?"
A few dayster.
When Patrick went to Meggie''s house to tell her father the findings of Owen''s investigation, he saw
how Meggie had be.
Her beautiful hair had be dry, her ruddy cheeks had be lifeless, and she looked so
frightened, especially when she saw a stranger.
During this period of time, her mother cried everyday and couldn''t fall asleep at night. Her father not
only needed to take care of Meggie, but also worried about his wife''s health. He was so tired that he
told Patrick that he wanted to resign.
"No! You''re the elder founding member of Roxxon. Without you, I''m worried that the employees
would be not of one mind." Patrick said disapprovingly.
Meggie''s father looked at Meggie, who was rolling on the ground with a cat in the garden, and said
tiredly, "Mr. Hopper, thank you so much for helping me find out the reason of Meg''s disappearance
and closing down Money Cab! And thank you for asking me to stay in Roxxon, but I am really
tired. I have been working for half a lifetime. It''s time for me to spend time with my wife and
daughter."
Patrick thought for a while and said seriously, "Since you said so, I won''t force you to stay. You can
stay at home and take care of Meg. As for thepany, you don''t have toe to work, but you
can get your sry as usual."
Meggie''s father suddenly felt a little guilty. He got angry with Patrick a few days ago, because he
suspected that it was Patrick who kidnapped Meggie, but Patrick was so kind and helped him a lot.
"Mr. Hopper, I..." Before he could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed as he got up
and rushed to the garden, "Meg!"
Patrick looked over and found that Meggie, who was ying with the pet cat, threw the cat to the
ground crazily. She looked insane and abnormal.
Her father wanted to grab her hand, but she scratched his neck with her sharp fingernails. It could
be seen that Meggie didn''t even recognize her family when she got insane.
Patrick, who caused Meggie to be like this, was smoking leisurely in therge living room. He
watched the scene that happened not far away with great interest.
In the evening, the Land of Fragrance.
Amelia received a call from Ryan. He invited her to go climbing on the weekend.
Thinking of Patrick''s warning to her, Amelia had no choice but to make an excuse to refuse Ryan,
"Uncle Quartley, I''m busy this Saturday, so I may not be able to go climbing with you."
"Well..." Ryan''s voice sounded a little disappointed, which made Amelia''s heart skip a beat, "Does
Patrick prevent you from contacting me?"
Amelia was stunned and then said with a bitter smile, "You''re so smart."
Ryan said earnestly, "If it were in the past, I would definitely hang up the phone and never bother
you again. But now you are my lifesaver. I am eager to repay you, so... do you understand what I
mean?"
"I understand." It was hard for Amelia to refuse Ryan. She asked, "When will we meet on
Saturday?"
After hanging up the phone, Ameliay on the pillow and stared at her mobile phone in annoyance,
"How can I be softhearted..."
Patrick disliked both of Milton and Ryan and didn''t want her to have too much contact with them.
After thinking about it, she could only meet Ryan on Saturday secretly.
At this time, the door was pushed open. When Patrick saw that Amelia was staring at her mobile
phone in a daze, his face turned gloomy as he asked, "Who are you thinking about?"
He was sure that Amelia was not thinking about him, because he was at home. If she wanted to see
him, she could go out and find him.
"Nothing." Amelia put away her mobile phone in a hurry, but her movement was so anxious that
Patrick sensed something wrong.
However, he remained calm on the surface and said, "It''ste. Let''s sleep."
Amelia asked without thinking, "You haven''t gone back to the master bedroom to sleep for a long
time..."
Patrick crossed his arms around his chest and said,
? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Do you want us to sleep in separate rooms?" "No!" Amelia patted her forehead. Since she
promised to meet Ryan on Saturday, she became nervous when she faced Patrick, "I didn''t mean
that."
Patrick smiled and said, "It seems that you like to sleep with me."
Amelia was speechless. Was she teased by him again?
After Amelia fell asleep, Patrick suddenly opened his eyes, got up from the bed and gently turned
on the bedsidemp.
Later, he nced at the bedside table next to Amelia and saw her mobile phone on it.
He reached out and held the phone in his hand. After he checked Amelia''s text messages and
address list, he found out that she had contacted someone she shouldn''t have contacted as he
expected!
Ryan?
The white light on the screen made Patrick''s unhappy expression extremely weird. After a while, he
looked away from the mobile phone and looked at Amelia who was sleeping soundly.
He didn''t know why Amelia would keep in touch with Ryan, but it was not a good sign.
At this moment, Amelia''s phone received a text message. Patrick clicked it without thinking.
"This Saturday, seven o''clock in the morning, Mount Logan, don''t forget toe!"
