Chapter 667


    After Amelia finished, Patrick gave a stingyment on Huxton, "He''s a very responsible


    subordinate."


    Amelia was taken aback for a moment before replying with some sense of disagreement, "He may


    only be a subordinate to you, but to me, he''s an exceptional friend."


    She left out the part where Huxton even took her to find Patrick in Timothy vige himself. And even


    if the result turned out to be far from what she wanted, he still shouldered the burdens without


    comints and apanied her throughout the journey.


    Hearing this, Patrick scowled, wanting to say something to refute Amelia''s praise for Huxton.


    But after hearing her description of what happened, even he felt grateful for Huxton from the bottom


    of his heart.


    Then, Amelia looked down to nce at her watch as she said anxiously, "Well, I''ve already told you


    everything you want to know. Should we go downstairs for breakfast now?"


    Patrick did not stop her this time, only responded in


    his charming voice, "Let''s go."


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Amelia nodded, got up from the sofa, and took a few steps to the door.


    Right before Amelia grabbed the door handle, Patrick caught up to her and turned her around by


    her shoulders all of a sudden. With a gloomy voice, he growled, "It was my fault!"


    "Huh?" Amelia frowned at this unforeseenmotion. "For what?"


    Patrick was struck speechless.


    Even he wanted to know when and why did he wrong her.


    And this was all because he had never been nice to her from the start...


    Before he could figure it out, Amelia realized that he was referring to the ident at Apex


    Construction Corporation. She shed him a nonchnt smile, "It''s fine now, everything is settled."


    Patrick watched her smile and muttered despondently, "It''s all settled?"


    She gently brushed his hands away from her shoulders, let out a sigh of relief, and said in a rxed


    tone, "Yes, and that''s also to say, it''s all in the past now." ''It''s all in the past now...''


    Patrick''s heart panged when it dawned on him that he would never y a part or know what it was


    like for her in this chapter of her life, for it was all over. The puzzle of their marriage wouldck a


    missing piece forever, the most crucial piece.


    At the sight of his thin lips pursed into a line, she was afraid that she had said the wrong thing and


    angered him again. So she quickly turned the handle, pushed the door open, and left.


    Downstairs.


    Huxton had already prepared two vegebowls and some sauces on the table.


    Taking the increased frequency of Amelia''s recent social engagements into consideration, he


    thought it would be better for her to eat simpler at home. But with doing that, Patrick who loved to


    eat meat, had to make some sacrifices.


    At the thought of Patrick''s pte, it suddenly struck Huxton that he was getting more considerate


    towards Amelia these days.


    He secretly reflected on himself, "Oops, t''s sir who pays me sry!"


    Speaking of the devil.


    Amelia and Patrick showed up one after another. Unlike Huxton''s expectation, Amelia was wearing


    a bright smile on her face, while Patrick looked sullen


    and dull.


    This should not be it. Didn''t sir take madam back to his room and give her their one-on-one


    teaching?


    Why did it seem like sir was the one who suffered a setback?


    The next second, Amelia looked at his direction with a smile.


    Huxton lowered his gaze towards the floor and greeted respectfully, "Sir, madam, enjoy your meal."


    Amelia pulled out the chair in front of her, sat down, and then asked Huxton casually, "Have you


    eaten yet?"


    Huxton''s lips twitched a little. The hosts of the house had just only sat down at the dining table. How


    could he, a butler, eat first?


    But after receiving a sharp re from Patrick, Huxton could only reply, contrary to his own


    conscience, "Madam, I have already eaten."


    Amelia tilted her head to a side and doubted, "Really? But you usually only eat after we finish.


    You''re not lying to me, are you?"


    Huxton stayed silent.


    "Huxton has his own ce, don''t force him to sit at the table," said Patrick coolly.


    Amelia replied, "Hmm? I''m not forcing him to sit at the table, I just want him to have breakfast. I''m


    here now, so he doesn''t need to serve us anymore."


    At this, Patrick looked up and gave a lukewarm stare at Huxton, "Did you hear madam?"


    Huxton understood and said, "Yes, I got it. Thank you for your permission, madam. I''ll go and have


    breakfast now."


    After Huxton left, Patrick turned to look at Amelia and raised his eyebrow. "Are you satisfied now?"


    Amelia only smiled, picked up some sauce, and put it into Patrick''s bowl. She said, "You''re such a


    caring boss!"


    "Hah." This woman was bing more mischievous, making use of his position to her favor.


    Halfway through breakfast, Patrick''s phone screen lit up. He nced at the text message and said


    to Amelia, "Let''s go to a ce after this."


    Amelia refused without hesitation. "No, I''m going to bete for work! Wait until I get off work!"


    Patrick shot a nce at her and said in a threatening tone, "You''ll regret it if you don''te."


    Seeing that he was serious about it, Amelia could not help but ask, "Then you''ll have to tell me


    where you''re taking me first, right?"


    Patrick replied, "A golf course."


    "What? Having fun again? I''m not interested!" Amelia grumbled.


    Patrick sneered, "Who said that we must go to the golf course just for fun?"


    At this, Amelia leaned towards him and asked with some excitement, "Are you going to introduce


    me to some potential customers?"


    Patrick ruffled her hair and said, "You''re not aplete idiot after all."


    "Hey..." Amelia quickly escaped from his hand to save her styled hair.


    After breakfast, Patrick said to Amelia as she put on her shoes by the door, "Take my car?"


    But Amelia said, "Well, I think we should drive on our own. We can''t be ying golf whole day,


    right?"


    Patrick took a deep look at her and said, "You''re indeed different now."


    Amelia was stunned. "What''s different?"


    Patrick said bluntly, "If you''re working in Roxxon as before, and when you''re permitted to have fun


    outside all day long, you''ll be bursting with joy, won''t you?"


    Amelia spent some thought on it for a moment and nodded. "That''s right. It''s more fun to work for


    others."


    "Hmm?" Patrick was somewhat at a loss for words in the face of her agreement. After all, he was


    not exactlyplimenting her.


    Amelia looked at him and said, "Although I was just a small staff member back then, all I needed to


    do was to work for one person, which was you, my boss. Yet now, although I''ve be a boss


    myself, I feel like I''m working for tens of thousands of employees. If I could turn back time, I hope I


    was still the Madam Ramsay of Roxxon''s sales department."


    Hearing Amelia, Patrick only replied, "Ipetent."


    Amelia gave a wry smile. "So be it if I''m ipetent. I have no intention of bing some


    powerful women anyway."


    Patrick''s gaze caught the trace of weakness that she so rarely allowed herself to show and thought


    she was finally willing to tell the truth.
