Chapter 318
After saying that, Amelia could clearly feel Daniel''s heavy breathing as he asked with difficulty,
"You''re not selling? Aren''t you anxious to use the money to shoot the cemetery?"
Amelia said with certainty in her voice, "Patrick will help me."
When she said these words, she suddenly realized that in times of crisis, having someone to rely on
turned out to be such a reassuring thing!
Daniel was resent, he barely kept his sanity and asked, "Do not you hate to owe people favors?
When we used to go out to dinner and shopping with me, you had to share everything with me,
what happened now? Where is your independence?"
Amelia said coldly, "Daniel, don''t put yourself in the wrong position. Patrick''s my husband, and
you''re nothing!"
After a moment, Daniel asked in an uncertain voice, "You''ve fallen in love with him... haven''t you?"
Stunned for a few seconds, Amelia followed her heart and said, "At least I don''t hate him."
Daniel suddenly let out sneers, which was as if he was mocking her, whileughing, he asked, "So
are you sure...he loves you?"
Amelia frowned and said, "I can fight for it."
"Fight for it? Haha! So you''re not confident at all? That''s right. As far as I know, Patrick''s ex-
girlfriend has already divorced her husband abroad. Do you know what this means?"
Daniel''s wickedughter was like a vicious curse, causing her to feel so ufortable that she
couldn''t breathe!
"Can''t say anything else? Then why don''t I say it for you? Divorce is a symbol of bing single
again. What if she can''t stand the loneliness and wants to return to the arms of Patrick? Do you still
have the absolute confidence that Patrick will fall in love with you? It will be lucky if he doesn''t
divorce you. Amelia, you''re pathetic to have to suffer the fate of being abandoned by different men
for the rest of your life!"
Afterward, Daniel hung up the call.
Amelia trembled and took the phone off her ear. She knew Daniel was saying these things on
purpose to provoke her and make her feel bad, but she couldn''t avoid getting caught up in it even
though she knew it!
The phone call Patrick made that day, with his back to her, was actually someone talking to him
about Sissi''s divorce, right?
It has been so many years, but he still kept an eye on Sissi''stest news. Was it true, as Daniel
said, that Patrick would divorce her for Sissi?
Amelia feels mixed emotions, she just felt that Patrick was someone she could rely on and now she
was going to change her mind...
At night, at Land of Fragrance.

While eating, Amelia kept poking at the fish on her te with her fork without purpose while
thinking.
"Auntie Amelia!"
Just then, Ashley, who was sitting across from Amelia, nudged a te in front of Amelia with her
chubby finger, "I want some meat."
Amelia suddenly came back to her senses. "Oh, sure."
As she stood up to put the food into Ashley''s bowl, she identally knocked over the wine ss
that Patrie was holding next to her, and the red wine stained her sweater along the rim of the ss,
but she didn''t even know it.
Ashley looked at the food inside the bowl and frowned, "I don''t want shrimp."
Amelia gave a distracted "oh" and everyone wondered if she was even listening to Ashley.
Patrick watched Amelia''s perverse behavior as he squinted at Florence, who was drinking.
Florence saw the look in Patrick''s eyes and knew she might be out of luck.
Patrick put down his napkin and said, "I''m full."
Then, he left the chair and walked to the balcony.
After Patrick left for a while, Florence put down the mellow wine, stood up, and said "I''m full too. By
the way, Amelia, your clothes are dirty."
Amelia then realized her sweater was dirty and she said with little appetite, "I''m full, you guys go
ahead and eat."
Granny Hopper asked with concern, "Don''t you want some more?"
Amelia smiled and said, "No, thanks for taking care of Andrew and Ashley. I''ll go upstairs first."
Granny Hopper stared thoughtfully at Amelia''s back, wondering if she and Patrick were having a
falling out.
On the balcony.
Florence called Patrick when she came to the balcony.
Patrick looked back at her, and the anger and mncholy in his eyes made Florence inexplicably
nervous, "Patrick, do you have something to say to me?"
Patrick asked, "Amelia seems to be in a bad mood?"
"What?" Florence was stunned, "I can''t believe you care about your wife!"
Patrick furrowed his eyebrows and questioned Florence with his eyes, How bad did he do to
Amelia?
Florence felt frightened by his stare, and she said timidly, "But something else really happened
today that... might be stressful for you."
Patrick snorted, he was never under pressure.
Florence followed, "I guess, Amelia is not happy tonight, which is very likely to be rted to this
matter."
Patrick''s indifferent expression suddenly changed. "What''s going on? Tell me clearly!"
Florence didn''t want to say anything at first, but it was a big deal that Madam Smith wanted to give
Amelia a "bride-price", and if she didn''t tell Patrick in advance, he would be very angry with her one
day when he found out.
Florence bit her finger and said, "Amelia went to the hospital today to see Hobart..."
Patrick''s expression turned ferocious. "What did you say? She''s going to see Hobart again!"
Florence quickly appeased Patrick''s anger. "No, it''s me! It''s because of me, so Amelia went to the
hospital! She was prepared to leave after giving me my stuffs, but Hobart''s mom appeared at this
time and forced Amelia to see her son..."
Patrick gritted his teeth and asked, "And then?"
"Then, I heard at the door that Hobart intended topete with you for that cemetery. Hobart''s
mom also said that..." Florence was so nervous that she almost bit off her fingernails. "She said that
Hobart would definitely bid for the cemetery as a bride-price for Amelia!"
Bride price...
After that, Florence no longer dared to look at Patrick''s face.
Then she felt very cold, and when she looked at Patrick again, he had disappeared.
