Chapter 462
On the other hand, Ryan secretly nced at Patrick and asked Amelia in a low voice, "Amelia, he
probably didn''t know that you called me to remind me of that incident?"
Amelia definitely knew what that incident was. She blinked her eyes helplessly, "He already knows."
"What?" Ryan raised his voice and scanned Amelia''s body to check if she was missing an arm or a
leg.
"Then did he..."
"No." Amelia shook her head. Amelia still felt afraid when she thought of the incident.
If Patrick had gone deep into the matter at that time, she would have been fired as a "traitor" by the
company.
"That''s good." Ryan heaved a sigh of relief.
Amelia realized that they had already been chatting for a while. However, she noticed there was no
one waiting for Ryan nearby. She could not help but ask, "By the way, Mr. Quartley, did you climb
the mountain alone?"
Ryan said with a smile, "I came here with those young people from the wine factory. They are
probably still eating in the restaurant now. I''m old and don''t have a very good appetite. So I came
out for a walk after eating a little and took some photos too."
Ryan was like an old child who was eager to share some of his fun with others. He held Amelia''s
hand, "Would you like to have a look at the photos I''ve taken?"
Amelia saw that Ryan was so enthusiastic but she was also afraid to make Patrick unhappy, but
when she was about to turn and ask for Patrick s opinion, she saw him holding his phone and
talking to someone. He did not have time to look at her.
She looked and smiled at Ryan. Then she said, "Okay."
On the other hand, Patrick was talking with his cousin, Hayden on the phone. Hayden said proudly,
"Patrick, let me tell you something. You thought that I was boarding a ne back to A City? Guess
what happened to me?"
Patrick asked absent-mindedly, "Did you jump out of the aerone?"
Hayden smiled, "Well, it''s not as difficult as jumping out of an aerone, I just didn''t board the
flight!"
Patrick''s calm face suddenly became serious. He asked in a deep voice, "Hayden, what did you
say? Say it again!"
Hayden muttered, "I didn''t board the flight because I wanted to take part in thepetition. This
should be an understandable situation. Besides that... I have the courage to pursue my own dream!
My father couldn''t understand it because he''s narrowminded. Can''t a fellow young guy like you
rte with me?"
Patrick frowned, "Where are you now?"
"I... I have hailed a taxi from the airport ande back to the city center!" Hayden said.
Patrick rxed a little, "It''s fine that you''re back. Why did you call me? Aren''t you afraid that I''ll tell
your father?"
Hayden hurriedly said, "Please don''t! If my dad catches me, I''ll really have to jump out of a ne!"
Patrick said bluntly, It''s not that I don''t support you chasing your dreams. It''s just that I can''t bear the
responsibility of you getting injured. Do you understand?"
Hayden went all out and said, "I don''t need you to take any responsibility. As long as both of us
keep it a secret, who would know if I have contacted you?"
I''m calling because I hope that when my dad contacts youter and asks to use your connections to
search me in Northville, you can find an excuse to give him. When I finish my two matches in the
next few days, I will leave immediately without giving you any trouble."
Patrick''s temple tightened. "You''re causing me trouble right now."
Hayden hurriedly asked, "From your intonation, I guess you don''t mind me staying in Northville?"
Patrick retorted with a question, "What else can I do?"
"I knew you were on my side! Great..."
Patrick took the phone away in time before Hayden''sughter hurt his ears.
The next second, he heard Hayden''s request from the phone, "Patrick, I have another request."
Patrick warned, "Don''t push it!"
Hayden promised that it would just be a small matter.
Patrick said gruffly, "Go ahead."
Hayden stumbled, "Well, it''s like this. I was in a hurry when I escaped from boarding the flight. All of
my luggage was on the ne. I only have half of the one hundred dors left after hailing a taxi from
the airport. The living expense in Northville is so expensive and I have to cover my tracks. Patrick,
what do you think I should do?"
A hint of amusement shed in Patrick''s deep eyes. "You know so many tricks. Don''t you know
what to
do?"
Hayden forced a smile, "You know me very well. I want to..."
Patrick interrupted, "You don''t even think about it!"
"Patrick! I haven''t said anything yet!" Hayden was surprised.
Patrick said, "You want to stay in my house, don''t you?"
Hayden talked slowly, "Patrick, Northville City is ruthless but Northville people like you have
affection. If you don''t amodate me, a penniless person like me will starve to death on the
streets."

Patrick became silent for a moment when he heard this and thought to himself, "He has already
decided to set up a tent with Amelia in Mount Logan and catch tomorrow''s sunrise. This means that
there will be no one at Land of Fragrance tonight. Why not let Hayden stay for just one night? Just
think of it as hiring a security guard."
When Patrick was indecisive, he said to Hayden, "Use the rest of the money in your pocket to hail a
cab to take you to the Land of Fragrance. You can stay there tonight."
Hayden said happily, "Okay." After that, he did not dare to waste Patrick''s precious time anymore.
He hung up the phone after saying goodbye.
Patrick phoned the nanny who was cleaning the Land of Fragrance and ordered her to do a few
things, "There will be a guesting hometer. However, Amelia and I will be away. Can you go to
the Land of Fragrance to open the door for the guest?"
The nanny said that she had nothing to do after Christmas, so she was d to help him. She asked,
"May I ask... what''s the name of the guest?"
Patrick answered vaguely, "He is a distant rtive of mine. His surname is Hopper. Just open the
door and let him in. He can go anywhere else as long as he doesn''t go into the study room. Also,
arrange a room for him. Finally, if someone asks you about this person, you must remember not to
tell them anything."
The nanny understood, "I promise that I will not say anything, no matter who asked me!"
Patrick felt relieved and hung up the phone.
Although this nanny was hired by his mother to help out at home, she had never heard any news of
Amelia and him from his mother in the past few months. Presumably, the nanny had devoted herself
to him and Amelia.
After making the two phone calls, more than ten minutes had passed. Patrick looked behind him
and saw that Ryan was still tapping on the camera button with his fingers. Amelia who was beside
him had a faint smile on her face. Sometimes she would say, "Our country''s scenery is really great."
Meanwhile in Patrick''s opinion, Ryan was just a shameless old rascal!
