Chapter 665


    Faced with Patrick''s livid demeanour, Amelia made an unexpected move on Patrick after a split


    second of decision.


    She stood on her tiptoes and threw herself onto him, holding his torso in her arms.


    That was not all. She then buried her face, which Patrick both loved and resented, into his chest.


    Mumbling against his pecs, she said, "And thank you for tonight. My phone ran out of battery


    suddenly, which made you worried for nothing. I did not even think you would send someone out to


    find me. I... I even thought you were asleep..."


    Patrick wanted to smack her. Seriously!


    How could he fall asleep when she was missing!


    Just as Patrick raised his hand and was about to deal a blow at her, Amelia looked up at him. Her


    innocent appearance made him retract his hand without his notice. "Look, am I not safe and sound?


    Be good now, don''t lose your temper."


    Leaving the stream of sweet bombardment behind her, Amelia ran to her room without giving


    Patrick any time to react.


    At the sound of the click of the door in the secondary bedroom, Patrick turned around and steadied


    himself on the nearest railing, feeling both annoyed and delighted.


    She had be smarter, knowing to distract him by locking him into an embrace, then took the


    opportunity to run away when he was caught by surprise.


    Forget it... That was fine.


    If they had continued talking, he was afraid that he would lose control of himself again!


    The first thing Amelia did when she returned to her room was to charge her phone, which she took


    from her bag.


    Then, she leaned on the table with a frustrated sigh. Staring at the screen that being lit up upon


    connecting to the plug, sheined softly, "Oh, you... If you worked just a little longer, there


    wouldn''t be so many misunderstandings. s..."


    But at the end of the day, she could not me it on her phone.


    After all, Amelia had been using her phone since early morning when she entered the office until


    late afternoon when she got off work. The number of customers that she needed to call was


    countless. No matter how fully charged it was, it was bound to be depleted!


    Just a few seconds after Amelia pressed the ''power'' button, a text message popped up on the


    screen.


    She clicked on it. There were only three words on it, but it sent shards of ice through her heart.


    "The baby''s gone."


    She did not even address Amelia, nor did she bother to greet her. There was not even any


    punctuation.


    Amelia could imagine Alice''s ashen face through the text message she sent her.


    She could not help wanting to call Alice. But when she was about to click on Alice''s number, her


    finger halted in midair and retreated slowly.


    She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths. She had already done her best...


    The next day.


    On her way downstairs for breakfast, Amelia ran into Huxton at the top of the stairs. She walked


    over and said, "Hey, you''re up?"


    Huxton stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Amelia. "Good morning, madam. Breakfast is


    ready."


    "Okay." Amelia nodded then walked past Huxton.


    When Amelia brushed past him, Huxton''s hand rose and fell, and at the same time, a listening bug


    that was tinier than an eye of a needle was stuck to the back of Amelia''s cor.


    "Oh, by the way!" Amelia whipped her head around suddenly, staring at him. "Did you know I went


    outst night for something urgent?"


    Under Amelia''s gaze, Huxton slowly lowered his hand and nodded as if nothing had happened. "I


    know."


    Amelia gritted her teeth. Patrick lied to her!


    Since Huxton knew that she went out in the middle of the night, he must have known where she had


    gone to. But Patrick only picked on her for going to the police station. He was deliberately finding


    fault with her!


    Amelia spewed in a flurry, "Since that''s the case, then you should know what I did when I was out,


    right? How about you testify for me in front of Patrick... He''ll believe you!"


    Huxton stood his ground and said, "Madam, due to some specific reasons, I have no clue about


    where you were nor about what you were doing. If sir hadn''t found that you weren''t in the secondary


    bedroom, no one at home would have known that you left in the middle of the night."


    "What!" Amelia''s entire being withered. So this mean that she had lost her principal witness?


    Huxton shot a nce at the listless Amelia. He still knew a little about Daniel being locked up at the


    police station in the south of the city.


    "The person sir sent to the police station found madam''s car at the entrance. So, we could only


    figure out that you were there. As for the other ces you went to... You have to exin it yourself."


    Amelia sighed. "I can tell him, but it doesn''t mean he''ll believe me."


    Huxton consoled her, "Sir was only extremely worried about you for him to make the wrong


    judgment. It will be fine if you exin to him in patience."


    Amelia replied sullenly, "I''ve already exined to him nicelyst night, but Patrick''s temper is just


    downright acrid and stubborn. I don''t feel like exining myself to him again."


    Huxton looked at her intently. "If exining it once doesn''t work, then tell him twice. If it still doesn''t


    work, then repeat it three times. Knowing sir''s temperament, it will only backfire on you if you


    confront him head-on. Don''t even think about giving him the silent treatment, it will only worsen your


    rtionship with him."


    Amelia watched Huxton and said sincerely, "You do know him very well."


    Huxton fixed his gaze ahead and shed a faint smile. "I have been following him since I was a


    teenager. Although he went abroad for a long time, the familiarity I have with him never wavered."


    Naturally and unknowingly, the two of them stood side-by-side in the corridor and began to chat.


    They did not even realize when Patrick came out of this room.


    Watching them from behind as they chattered on, Patrick''s face frosted.


    He could no longer remain silent when a burst of sweetughter from Amelia rang in his ears.


    He approached them and asked with a forced smile, "Are you guys having a nice chat?"


    Amelia immediately stopped giggling at the sound of his voice and anxiety showed on her face at


    once.


    She was nervous because they were just secretly discussing about Patrick when he was young.


    How could she not be startled when she was caught in the act by the person in question?


    Taking in the subtle changes in her face, Patrick''s face turned gloomy. Huxton was frantic at the


    sight of it and hastily said, "Sir, madam, I''ll go downstairs and get you both breakfast."


    Amelia responded, "Thank you, Huxton."


    "You''re wee, madam."

    Huxton did not even dare to look at Amelia when he said that, only dipping his head and


    disappearing


    from Patrick''s sight as fast as he possibly could.


    Amelia peered sideways at Patrick. Amelia asked him in slight irritation when she saw him fiercely


    staring at her without saying a word, "A night passed since it happened. You still haven''t gotten over


    it?"


    Patrick reached out and ce his palms on her blushed cheeks. He then stroked her cheeks with


    his fingers and asked, in thought, "What did you talk about with Huxton? Why is your face so red?"


    "Really?" Amelia subconsciously rubbed her cheeks on her shoulders to offset the strange tingle


    she felt at Patrick''s touch. "Maybe it''s the warm weather."
