Chapter 767


    Good heavens!


    Amelia eximed shockingly, "How could this be possible?"


    It was not the fact that Patrick had chased Huxton out which Amelia was referring to. Instead, she


    could not believe that Huxton who had always been obedient and loyal towards Patrick, had in fact


    spoken in contradict to Patrick''s request.


    Scarlett scratched her head and asked confusingly, "I''m too puzzled. That''s why I had asked your


    whereabouts as soon as I saw you''re back."


    "Um... I went to somewhere." Amelia did not intend to borate in detail. After all, Scarlett might not


    understand it.


    Scarlett was not a fool. Seeing that apparently it was not convenient for Amelia to tell her, she


    smiled without demanding for an answer.


    "What happened next?" Amelia continued to ask.


    Scarlett then said, "After Mr. Patrick made Huxton standing outside of the house, he didn''te out


    from his room at all. Since you weren''t home yet, I didn''t prepare for dinner. Even if I did, I don''t


    think Mr. Patrick will want to have his dinner..."


    There was no doubt that Amelia knew very well what was going on. The reason Scarlett had not


    prepared dinner was that she was holding grudge against Patrick for punishing her man.


    Seeing Amelia smiling, Scarlett felt as if she could read her mind.


    She bit her lower lip and finally said, "Um... What I want to say is that, can you please go and ask


    Mr. Patrick toe down for dinner? And also convince him into forgiving Huxton. After all, it''s not


    easy for Huxton to be the middle person between the two of you..."


    Hearing what she said, Amelia promised confidently, "Dr. Scarlett, I''ll take responsibility of it. Don''t


    worry, I won''t let Huxton take the me for me!"


    Moreover, she felt obliged to repay Huxton for his kindness after he had covered for her!


    "I''m sure you''ll handle it." Having Amelia''s reassurance, Scarlett finally smiled in relief.


    Amelia had been observing Scarlett''s reaction all this while. Squinting her eyes, she could not help


    asking, "Anyway, now that I know Huxton was standing outside because he was being punished.


    Then why would you be there too?"


    Scarlett''s face turned red as she stammered, "Me?


    Um... I was enjoying the night view out there!"


    "Oh?" Amelia said insidiously with her expression painted with sarcasm.


    Upon being stared, Scarlett reached out to shove Amelia in embarrassment before she said, "Eh!


    D*mn you!"


    Amelia was not mad at all for which she had been pushed by Scarlett. She shouted, "Help me to


    thank Huxton!" With that said, she turned around and headed to the second floor.


    At the door of the study room.


    Amelia recollected her emotions before she knocked the door with a smile.


    After a while...


    "Who is it?"


    "It''s me!"


    "Get lost!"


    The roaring from the room sounded as if the person inside was someone who was undergoing the


    stage of menopause.


    Knowing too well that she was the one at fault, Amelia lowered her gaze. After some time, she


    ced her palm on the door again so that she could let her face came nearer to the door. She


    called out feebly, "Mr. Hopper, I shouldn''t have returned homete and left you alone in this house.


    It''s my fault. Can you please open the door?"


    Patrick snorted coldly. It was loud enough to make sure that Amelia heard it so that she would know


    how terrible his mood was at this moment.


    ring, she wondered if this man had nothing better to respond to her.


    "Mr. Hopper, I heard that you haven''t had your dinner. Me too. Why not you join me for dinner?"


    "Mr. Hopper, I came across your favorite snacks shop when I was on the way home. So I bought it


    for you..."


    "Mr. Hopper, I''ve been missing you all day. I''m dying to see you now..."


    Amelia continued to dilly-dally at the door despite not getting response from Patrick. In fact, she


    could have left right away. But since Huxton had helped her, she had no other choice but to bug on


    Patrick so that she could return Huxton''s favor.


    The tightly shut door was finally opened after she had spent a considerably long time persuading


    him into opening the door.


    Amelia was overjoyed upon seeing this. She was about to sneak into the room through the space of


    the door which was now cracked open for her. Towering her, he unexpectedly flicked her forehead.


    "Hiss!


    Staring at Amelia who was furrowed, there was a trace of sarcasm shing across his dark pupils.


    Momentster, he asked coldly, "Is it painful?"


    "Of course it is!" Amelia moaned in her heart.


    But as soon as her eyes met with Patrick''s furious gaze, Amelia immediately withdrew the intention


    to speak the truth. She hurriedly put down her hand that was covering on her head and feebly


    replied, "Not painful at all. As long as you get to vent your anger, you can flick as many times as you


    wish."


    Initially Patrick''s anger was already at the verge of its breaking point. But upon seeing Amelia''s


    harmless and innocent face, he could no longer vent his anger at her.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Awhile ago she said that she had been dying of missing him and could not wait to see him when


    she was outside of the room. Even if he knew that these were only her sugar-coated words in order


    to get his forgiveness, he had chosen to believe her.


    His gaze fall on the reddened mark in between her eyebrows.


    Amelia''s skinplexion was extraordinarily fair. Any force applied would simply leave marks on


    her skin, not to mention that he had forcibly flicked her forehead.


    Containing the overwhelmed pity for her, Patrick maintained the sternness on his expression and


    reached out his hand before he asked, "Didn''t you say that you had gotten me my favorite snacks?


    Where is it?"


    "Um..." Amelia rubbed her hands in embarrassment as she said, "The truth was I felt hungry as


    soon as I had bought it. That''s why I helped myself with a small bite of it..."


    Under the pressure of his ruthlessly cold gaze, Amelia broke out in a cold sweat and exined,


    "Actually I didn''t mean to steal a bite of it. I could have contain myself. But I thought that you might


    not be happy to know that I had to starve in order to save you your snacks. So for the sake of you, I


    took a small bite of it..."


    "Oh! So you had eaten it for me." Patrickughed despite he wished to eat her alive right now, "How


    about the remaining of it?"


    Amelia''s eyes widened in surprise, "Uh? The remaining?"


    "Yeah, since you''ve only eaten a small bite, I suppose there should be quite a lot left." Patrick


    teased.


    After all, it was just some snacks. It seemed as if Patrick was being excessively calctive.


    Amelia said pitifully, "They were too delicious that I couldn''t stop eating until I finished all of them. I


    guess you wouldn''t want me starving."


    Patrick tensed a little as he asked tentatively, "In that case, is it true that you''re already full?"


    If that was the case, then at least one sentence of hers was a lie!


    "No, no!" Amelia was so anxious that she could not help waving her hands in rifying herself.


    She admitted that she had lied to Patrick in order to get him to open the door.


    She had not gotten him any snacks. Hence, in the face of his questions, she could only lie that she


    had already eaten it.


    But in fact she was wronged too!


    Amelia had came all the way from Streams Vi to return to Land of Fragrance without making any


    stops. Even when Kaiden had suggested to make a stop for dinner, she had refused such an offer


    sternly.
