Chapter 463


    Ryan had just used some despicable tricks to gain a narrow victory from him, he should be


    ashamed of himself and left, how dare he went towards and chatter with Patrick''s wife!


    Patrick, who had been well-restrained for such a long time was about to drive Ryan out when the


    phone in his hand rang again.


    Patrick looked down impatiently. When he saw "Hayden''s Father" on the disy, he gave up on the


    idea of hanging up the phone. He slid through the answer button and said, "Hello..."


    Hayden''s father shouted from the opposite of the phone, "Patrick! Did Hayden get in touch with you


    today? He told me that his stomach hurt after we board the ne. I thought everything would be


    fine if I took away his wallet and his skates. I didn''t expect that little bastard would still slip away!"

    Patrickforted him calmly, "Uncle, please don''t worry."


    "How can I not be worried? It''s not your child who is missing!"


    After the roar, Hayden''s father realized that something was wrong. He softened his tone and said,


    "I''m sorry, I, I am really worried about Hayden." "Uncle, I remember that Hayden is in his second


    year in high school this year. By right, he is a grown-up, isn''t he?"


    "Yes... yes!"


    "Haven''t you always use me and Owen to set goals for Hayden''s? Let''s put me aside first, at


    Hayden''s age, Owen was already in the military. How about Hayden?"


    After Patrick gave a question on Hayden''s growth, he then said, "If you want to be Hayden''s shelter


    forever, then don''t me him for not being outstanding enough."


    Hayden''s father went silent for a while. In the end, he still did not give up and asked, "Did Hayden


    really not called you?"


    Patrick thought about Hayden who was in high spirits at thepetition field. If his wings were tied


    up, would not that young man have to live a mediocre life forever?


    Patrick closed his eyes and opened them again, he then answered, "No."


    "All right then." Hayden''s father heaved a long sigh. He seemed to be helpless andpromising.


    "If he calls you, you tell him toe back in a piece!"


    With the corner of his eyes slightly lifted, Patrick smiled and said, "I will."


    "Amelia, take a look at this picture. I took it in a valley. What do you think about it? Isn''t it a


    paradise?"


    Seeing that the sceneries in the photos were blocked by people, Amelia nodded her head in support


    and said, "Well, it sure is beautiful. I''ll go there when I have a chance!"


    "Take a look at these pictures too. These are taken in..." Ryan said as if he was addicted to doing


    so.


    While listening to their chats from Mount Logan in Northville till the far end of the country, Patrick


    who was left aside could not help but clear his throat loudly, and soon he attracted the attention of


    two of them who was chatting.


    In fact, Amelia had been observing him secretly. "Mr. Hopper, are you done with your call? I''ve been


    waiting for you for such a long time..."


    Patrick choked when he heard what Amelia said. Amelia took the upper hand this time!


    He swallowed his reprimand and said, "You''ve been waiting for me for a long time, haven''t you?


    Then let''s not waste any time. Let''s go." "Sure." Amelia went along with Patrick''s suggestion as she


    turns to Ryan and says, "Mr. Quartley, my husband and I will continue to move forward. You should


    go back to the restaurant and meet your staff as soon as possible."


    Ryan chuckled and said, "Alright then. Maybe well meet again at the top of the mountain. After all, if


    we share themon goal and we would definitely meet again."


    After saying that, Ryan gave Patrick a meaningful look and nodded elegantly. He then walked away.


    "Common goal? Meet again?" Patrick said these words out with a dark face. As long as he was


    there, Ryan could forget about meeting Amelia again!


    Amelia turned back and cleaned the leftovers on the table. Seeing that Patrick was sitting angrily on


    the chair, she could not help but call him, "Mr. Hopper?"


    Aftering back to his senses, Patrick straightened his body as he looked at Amelia, "Do you


    know why I would allow Ryan to chat with you?"


    Amelia took it for granted and said, "It''s because you were on the phone."


    Blue veins popped out on the corner of Patrick''s forehead. "Apart from this?"


    "Apart from that?" Amelia thought for a moment, then she looked into his eyes cautiously, "You don''t


    want to stop me from making friends?"


    Patrick''s slightly stretched his eyebrows, he told himself that this woman was notpletely stupid


    after all.


    But then, Amelia said a few words in a low voice and his mood changed immediately when he


    heard it. "Mr. Hopper, are you really so considerate? Or am I overthinking?"


    Patrick took a deep breath. He should not have allowed Ryan to stay here and bothered him for so


    long since Amelia could not understand his good intentions anyway!


    In the evening, the sky was gradually shrouded in darkness.


    The temperature was dropping due to the sun setting; on the other hand, as they went higher more


    snow were seen on the mountain. The cold night wind that blew through was so cold that Amelia''s


    teeth grind against each other. She reflexively put on her hoodie.


    Through the dim light, Amelia looked at the road in front of her and saw Patrick''s reliable figure


    standing firmly in front of her.


    It seemed that as long as he was there, she could constantly feel that a source of power was


    surging into her heart. She restrained the idea of stopping and followed his footsteps bravely.


    During this period of time, she and Patrick had gone through many trials. Every midnight when she


    woke up from her dream, there would be a sense of depression in the depths of her heart. She had


    once asked herself if it was worth it to continue to live such a devastating life.


    However, after today''s hiking event, Amelia realized that not everything could be measured by


    "worth it or not". Most of the time, it was up to whether she was willing to take part in it or not.


    As long as she was willing to hold on, she could walk to the end of the road without fearing


    hardships until she reached the peak! She could take in the most stunning and amazing scene.


    Of course, it would be better if there was a person who could apany her through this process.


    As forthat person, Amelia thought that she had already found it.


    Just as Amelia was lost in her thought, she heard a nervous shout, "Be careful!"


    By the time she realized what was happening, half of her feet were already in the snow pile that was


    hanging on the cliff. The snow was hollow, as she stepped on it, the snow pile fell off the cliff with a


    crash.


    If Patrick had not turned back and saw Amelia walking farther and farther, then pulled her back in


    time, she might have fallen into the abyss along with the snow.


    As his heart race, Patrick who was not in time to nag Amelia on what she did, quickly pulled her into


    his arms. He rubbed her back with his hands and said in a low voice, "Don''t be afraid, I''m here."


    Amelia took a moment to calm down and said apologetically, "I''m sorry to have caused you trouble."
