Chapter 691
Thest thing on earth that she would do right this moment was to kiss him. Amelia thought that he
should be feeling fortunate that she had not given him a punch at his face.
She looked away without responding him.
Patrick was getting impatient. He held her cheek and forced her into looking at his eyes.
Her eyshes could be seen trembling. It was not known whether she was being nervous or angry,
although any of the two possibilities could only render Patrick infuriated.
He began to rub his thumb against her face flirtatiously and said, "I don''t think it''s an overbearing
demand for me to ask for a kiss. After all, I''ve been helping you a lot today."
Amelia murmured, "Patrick, you never stand to lose..."
Before she could finish her words, Patrick''s kiss fell on her aggressively...
Amelia was being restrained within the space between the door and him. She could only respond to
his embrace passively.
Meanwhile, Patrick lowered his eyes just to see
Amelia frowning. Her eyes were closing shut as if he was the bully.
In the shade of anger, his kiss turned more violent as if he was going to shred her and eat her up.
She could hardly keep herself on bnce under his aggressiveness.
Seeing this, he scooped her up and carried her in direction of his study desk.
Patrick''s intention could not be any more obvious. However, it was not the appropriate timing!
As soon as he ended his aggressive kiss, Patrick made her into sitting at the edge of the desk.
Amelia took the chance to grab his hand which was about to reach her cor. She reminded with
her voice strained, "I have to go and prepare for dinner!"
"Let Huxton handle it when hees back!" Patrick said impatiently.
Her tiny hand gripped on her cor tightly. Amelia shook her head and said, "No way! It was my idea
to prepare dinner for dad. Moreover, we won''t know when only will Huxton be back."
Patrick bent over and stared at her dazzlingly beautiful eyes. He voiced out his discontentment,
"You are getting more rebellious these days! It''s not that I can''t let go of you now, but you have to
give me a reason of why are you acting strange today."
Amelia simply made up an excuse, "There''s a lot to be taken care in thepany. I find myself
struggling to cope with the huge workload."
A gleam of disbelief shed across his face as he said, "This reason may be justifiable for men.
However, it doesn''t make sense to me since you''re a woman."
Amelia''s heart sank, "Why didn''t it make sense? Won''t women be feeling tired too?"
She wondered if he had taken her as superwoman.
But this could not be the case. Patrick would not have thought highly of her. She felt that it was
more likely that he had thought that she could stubbornly survive anywhere just like a cockroach.
As a result, the exnation offered by Patrick waspletely different from her expectation. He
said, "This is because women are always submissive one!"
"F*ck you!"
Amelia cursed secretly. She dodged his uing kiss and hurriedly said, "I said no! After all, we
are having dad as our guest today. You have no idea how enthused he was when I went grocery
shopping with him. Everything was new to him."
"That''s because he''s been staying in the worship hall all the time recently! It''s not surprising that he
finds
everything new and curious now."
Patrick could not help feeling regretted that he did not manage to shut her mouth with his kiss.
Amelia did not seem to agree on what he said, "But why did I feel he was delighted because he got
the chance to be with us?"
Patrick replied annoyingly, "Why would you want to study him? After all he is my father, not yours!"
As soon as he finished his words, all he could see was that Amelia''s face saddened.
Patrick could not help cursing upon realizing that he had misworded, "That''s not what I meant. Of
course he is your father too."
Amelia heaved a sigh and brought herself to say this, "Can you please let me go?"
Feeling guilty, Patrick stepped back and let go of her. This also meant that he had let go of the
chance to make love with her.
A while ago he was going to have her. Butter all he could see was that Amelia marching towards
the door and left.
Patrick pulled his hair in frustration, he was swept with inexplicable emptiness at this moment.
He fell down onto the chair behind him. By staring at the air, he began to lose himself in his own
thought.
One hour had passed.
The door of Patrick''s room was knocked again. He opened his eyes and enthusiastically asked, "Is
it Amelia? Come in!"
"No, I''ll just say it outside. Dinner is ready. You cane down now."
After a pause, the sound of Amelia''s footsteps could be heard fading at the staircase.
As soon as she left, his expectation was immediately reced by the sense of emptiness. Patrick
felt terribly sick at the feeling that there was nothing left for him.
On the first floor.
"Dad, it''s time to have dinner!"
Uponing downstairs, Amelia immediately notified Howard that dinner had been served.
"Okay!" Acknowledging Amelia''s words, Howard sneaked a nce in direction of upstairs. It was
when he coincidentally met with the gaze of Patrick who had just opened the door. Both of them
could not help feeling awkward.
In the meanwhile when Amelia returned to the kitchen to get soup served on the table, Patrick
walked down from the staircase and said to Howard insidiously, "Old man, you shouldn''t have
come." you say so? Do you really hate me so much that you don''t want to see me at all?"
Howard''s expression froze. He asked, "Why would
Patrick said awkwardly, "Don''t put on that expression as if we are now parted by death. I''m not
Amelia. I will not fall for your trick and show any sympathy!"
Hearing this, the sadness on Howard''s face faded a little. Howard suddenly began to understand
the reason why his son had not been weing his presence.
"You are jealous of me for getting to spend time with Amelia, aren''t you?"
Upon hearing this, Patrick looked amused as if he had just heard the funniest joke ever.
Howard shook his head. Smiling, he asked, "So it''s not for this reason?"
"Of course not!" Patrick hurriedly emphasized.
"Then I''ll stay here for the night. After all I have a lot to share with Amelia."
Patrick gritted his teeth. "Don''t go overboard!"
Upon hearing this, Howard could not helpughing, "I thought you just said that this has nothing to
do with Amelia?"
"Dad, what are you guys talking about? I heard you two mentioning of me."

Amelia who was carrying a bowl of soup from the kitchen caught thest part of Howard''s sentence.
Howard grinned and said, "Amelia, do you know that Patrick wanted to..."
Patrick''s expression darkened as he said, "Dad! You talked too much! You should save some
energy for dinner."
Upon hearing Patrick calling him ''dad'', Howard forgot that he had wanted to tease him at the very
first ce. He smiled at Amelia who was confused and said, "Come, let''s eat!"
After dinner.
Upon seeing that Amelia was keeping herself busy in the kitchen, Patrick could not help wondering
what was she doing right there. He stood up from his chair and walked over to her.
Consequently, Amelia was taken by surprise as soon as she turned around asionally.
Taking a deep breath to recover from the shock, she grumbled, "Patrick, why the hell are you
standing behind of me?"
Patrick nced at her and asked, "What are you doing here?"
