Chapter 798
Patrick secretly cursed when he saw that Amelia was staring at him with resentment. What he hated
most was Amelia portraying a feeling of hatred towards him instead of love!
Amelia, who was blindly scolded by Patrick said without any expression, "I m already full. I''m going
upstairs to take a rest first."
Just as she was about to walk past him, Patrick said with an awkward expression, "You''re full but I
haven''t eaten yet!"
Amelia stopped and recalled that both Huxton and Scarlett had gone out on a date. There''s no one
home to cook for him so he must have been starving since he got home.
No wonder he was so hot-tempered.
Amelia had to ask, "Didn''t Huxton notified you that they were taking a break?"
Patrick said coldly, "They did."
Amelia then asked confusingly, "Since you approved their leave, why didn''t you take your dinner
before you came back?"
Patrick dropped his gloomy eyes and stared at her. He then stressed every word he said, "Because
I
have my wife at home, didn''t I?"
Upon hearing this, Amelia did not know how should she responded. While she was trying to be
unrestrained, Patrick had already gotten used to her being a part of his life...
However, did she have to prepare a meal and wait blindly for him to return?
After suppressing the entanglement and difort in her heart, Amelia said in a low and muffled
voice, "I think you''d better not rely too much on me when ites to housework. After all, I have my
own career now..."
Patrick who could not ept what Amelia said interrupted. "Didn''t you have your own career back
when you were in Roxxon Corporation? Why can you serve me by then but not now?"
Amelia was filled with anger. Indeed, she had to admit that she was willing to do everything for
Patrick no matter howte he was. Even if all her efforts would go in vain when Patrick called home
and said that he would not be back due to sudden issues. She would neverin at all unless it
involves Cynthia.
But now, when she heard Patrick using the word ''serve'' to describe her previous effort, Amelia felt
that her heart had shattered into pieces.
Shouldn''t they be equal as husband and wife?
Why did they have to belittle each other in order to gain a sense of pleasure?

She did not want to look at the man who pissed her off. Amelia turned and looked down at her toes.
She tried to express her feeling as calmly as possible. "Patrick, can you stop taking everything for
granted? There would be a time when I''ll bezy to cook, I hope you can understand me. I know it''s
normal for men to not cook especially a noble one like you.
That''s why I suggested you to fill your stomach in the restaurant when there''s no one at home so
that you wouldn''t have to wait for me or Dr. Scarlett toe back and get mad at us! It''s not helping
either of us and you would still be starving."
Patrick pursed his lips tightly. How could he not know this?
But in his subconscious mind...he still hoped that Amelia was the one who loved being at home
waiting for him, not the one who would roam freely outside and not care about him at all!
Her life was getting more and more carefree, while his was still clinging to the past...
Seeing the frown on his face, Amelia could not help but wanted tofort him. But then she
realized that she had already left Roxxon Corporation and they were no longer colleagues nor
would they have anything about work to discuss.
She bit her own lips and thought gloomily, it seemed that... they had been parting from each other
after the appearance of Sissi...
If it were not for Sissi, Patrick would not have gone to Timothy Vige. Then he would be the one
who helped her with Apex Construction Corporation... Wouldn''t he?
After thinking about it for a while, Amelia looked at Patrick with disdain and said, "There''s nothing
left in the refrigerator. You need to feed yourself outside."
Patrick raised his chin and said arrogantly, "Are you driving me away? But it''s a pity that I wouldn''t
do as you wish. There is plenty of materials at home. As for you, you can cook for me now."
There was a trace of surprise in Amelia''s eyes. There was nothing left in the refrigerator but Patrick
said there was plenty. So there was only one possibility, "Huxton and the others are back?"
At the end of her words, she curiously looked around at the ces where Huxton would be, but she
did not see him.
Seeing that Amelia did not even think that it was him who had bought the food, Patrick grunted
coldly. He felt as if he had been looked down upon. "Can''t I buy those materials myself?"
Amelia was stunned and stared at Patrick as if she had discovered a new secret. "Did you go to buy
stuffs yourself? Wait, did you go to the supermarket or the market?"
"The market. I don''t think the food in the supermarket would be fresh!" After answering, Patrick''s
mood worsens.
He had done everything he could to prepare for a candle-light dinner but Amelia did not take it to
heart.
"The market?" Amelia frowned. The price of the food in the market fluctuated a lot, it all depended
on the vendor to decide how much did one pound of meat cost or how much did one pound of
vegetable cost. It was unlike the supermarket where the prices would bebelled on the packaging.
As a master, all Patrick knew about food was to open his mouth and wait for others to serve him.
How would he know whether the price of the food was reasonable or not?
While being shocked, Amelia still wanted to teach him a lesson, "Emm, how much money did you
have before buying all the food? And how much did you have left after you bought it?"
Patrick who was not in a good mood replied. "Don''t talk to me like you are caring about a kid. I know
the market price!"
Amelia hesitated for a moment then asked, "Oh, is that so? How much is half a pound of pork then?
What about the cabbage? How much does a pound of cabbage cost?"
Patrick sneered and said, "I bought beef and leek."
Amelia felt helpless and nodded. "Well then, I''ll ask you again. How much is a pound of beef then?"
"100 dor." Patrick said carelessly.
"What about the leek... What?!" Amelia was shocked and asked, "One pound of beef is 100 dors?
Are you sure you didn''t tell me the wrong price?"
Patrick did not care. "Isn''t it very cheap? The steak we ordered in the restaurant cost thousands of
dors and we can consume it in just a few bites. It isn''t as worthy as what I bought"
It sounded reasonable but it was all nonsense!
Amelia looked at him deeply. If someone told her that it was the first time that Patrick had visited the
market, she would definitely believe it!
The most terrible thing was that he was obviously scammed and he still sounded like being
scammed was reasonable and eptable!
Amelia felt her heartache and said, "Patrick, please think about it carefully. The price of a steak in
the restaurant is so high because you are not eating merely the steak, you paid for the service fees,
the rents, the bill and so on, that''s why it''s expensive!" "So, it''spletely wrong for you topare
the price of beef in markets with the price of the steak in the restaurant! Because the beef in the
market was just restocked from the ughterhouse and you need to cook it yourself. Do you
understand?"
