Chapter 882
As for the existence of that kid, not only he had never heard it from Sissi herself, none of his
ssmates had ever spread any rumors of her pregnancy. This was more than enough to suggest
that the kid was a mystery to everyone.
"Could it be that it was a stillborn baby?" Patrick began to make a wild guess.
Rubbing his temple, Patrick had no other choice but to convince himself this way.
On the other hand, Amelia had alreadye out from the Land of Fragrance. She could not help
touching her handbag as she had brought along her passbook in it. She was going to use her
savings to buy herself a car.
Originally, she thought that she was going to invite Patrick toe along with her so that he could
give her some valuable opinions. This was also the reason she had dressed up early in the
morning.
Thinking that after she ced order of car, she could subsequently take the chance to invite him to
spend time with her elsewhere in order to mend the gap between them.
Unfortunately, the reality never went as nned. It would be so much easier if she merely dreamt of
it. With Sissi by his side, she meant nothing to Patrick anymore.
Sneering, Amelia hailed a taxi and got into the car immediately. Upon telling the driver that she
needed to head to 4S store, she began to sit back and digest her anger and disappointment.
"Miss, we''ve arrived."
"How much is the taxi fare?"
"Fifty-two dor." The driver handed over the receipt to Amelia.
She confirmed the amount of fares from the receipt again before she took out the exact amount of
cash from her purse. After paying the driver, she hadter came to the entrance of 4S store.
Amelia could not help furrowing as soon as she saw the familiar brand logo on the signboard of the
shop.
"D*mn it! Why am I here to visit the shop of Patrick''s best friend?"
"Humph! Don''t you ever expect that I''m going to let your best friend earn my money after what
you''ve done to me today!" Amelia cursed in her heart.
She then turned around and left.
Before Amelia could leave, she could hear the sound of footsteps shuffling from the back.
Followingly, she heard someone calling, "Mrs. Hopper?"
Amelia did not stop. She wanted to turn a deaf ear. After all, he did not call out her name.
The next second, the voice from the back called again, "Ms. Ramsay?"
Amelia paced up without looking back. She tried to convince herself that there was more than one
person with thest name of ''Ramsay'' out there.
Followingly, he called out, "Ms. Amelia Ramsay? My best friend, Patrick''s wife?"
Amelia knew that it would be too pointless if she continued to pretend as if she had not heard him
calling.
Pausing, she gradually turned to her back and nced at the person who had called out for her
numerous time.
The man who was walking towards her was no doubt a good-looking man. With a touching of red
necktie, he was smiling at her friendly.
Even though Amelia had only seen him for once at night, his outstanding appearance along with the
fact that he imed to be Patrick''s best friend was more than enough to leave an impression on
Amelia.
Nheless, she did not expect that she was going to bump into Charles Sullivan.
Pulling herself from the thought, she greeted faintly, "Hi, Mr. Sullivan. What a coincidence!"
Blinking, Charles replied, "I had not expect that you actually remember me."
Amelia nodded and said, "Of course I remember you. You had sent my husband home once after
he got drunk."
Charles could not help feeling embarrassed upon hearing this. Even if at that time Patrick and
Amelia had just newly wedded, Charles had insisted on asking Patrick out for a drink. He
remembered he had even called over dancers to spice up their gathering. However, it was such a
regret that Patrick''s self discipline was extraordinarily impressive. He demanded to return to Land of
Fragrance as soon as he finished drinking.
That was the very first time he met Patrick''s wife in person whom he had met again right this time.
Charles sneaked a nce at Amelia again. Convincing that there was no hint of sarcasm in her
eyes, Charles came to think that she had not realized what exactly had happened on that night in
the pub. He smiled in relief and said, "You have such a good memory. Oh yeah, hold on..."
He took out a name card from the pocket of his suit before he handed it to Amelia with both hands
and said, "This is my name card. If it is possible, I wish I can officially get to know you this time."
Taking the name card from him with both hands, Amelia quickly swept a nce at the content of it.
All she could see was Charles'' name engraving on it as well as a number ofpany names on the
other side of the card.
Twopany names had caught Amelia''s attention.
Firstly, the card enlisted Charles as one of the persons in charge of Royal Job Club and secondly,
meanwhile, he was also one of the investors of this Audi 4S store.
After keeping the name card in her handbag, Amelia said tteringly, "I''m impressed to know that
you are a stakeholder of a number ofpanies. You must be a capable person who needs to
attend to various matters. It''d be best that I take up your time no more. I shall go now."
Smiling, Charles stood forward and blocked Amelia from her way, "I heard the workers saying that
you had spotted on one Audi QQ the other day when you were in our store. And that it hadter
been gifted to you as a present for newlywed from Mr. Rhodes, am I right?"
Amelia was surprised that he even knew which car that she had bought.
She could not help feeling embarrassed when he brought it up. After all, she assumed that she had
been in debt of an amount of approximately three hundred thousands dor for such a gift.
Just as she could feel her cheek burning, Charles said apologetically, "I''m so sorry, Mrs. Hopper."

Amelia was taken aback by his apology out of nowhere.
Charles continued, "It was such a regret that I hadn''t made it to attend the wedding ceremony of
you and Patrick. I had since then forgotten also your newlywed present. Then I heard my worker
saying that you and Patrick had dropped by to buy a car. It was a shame that someone else had
gifted you the car as a wedding gift. I im myself to be Patrick''s best friend yet I had not sent my
regard so far. Please forgive me for my forgetfulness."
Smiling, Amelia said, "It is more than enough that you had been having us in mind. It doesn''t matter
whether there''s a gift or not."
Pausing, Charles asked concerningly, "Oh yeah, I saw you wandering in front of our store just now.
May I know if..."
Eyes flickering, Amelia tried to make up an excuse, "Oh, I was just passing by!"
"I see." Nodding understandably, Charles hade up with another n on his mind. He continued
to say, "Since fate had brought us together, why don''t you drop by my store before leaving?"
Amelia hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, it''s okay. My friend is waiting for me. I shall leave
now."
Charles replied enthusiastically, "Where are you heading to? Let me give you a lift."
Amelia fell into a dilemma. She was not familiar with this ce at all. If she by mistake mentioned
any ce which was thousands of miles away from here, then there was no doubt that Charles was
going to catch her lying.
She had no other choice but to say, "Mr. Sullivan, I''m sure that you have a handful of things to deal
with. I don''t want to take up your time."
Charles thought for a moment and said, "Well, since Patrick is not working today, why not I call him
now so that he cane over? After all, it''s not safe for someone as pretty as you to wander on the
street alone."
"How could he be so clingy?!" Amelia screamed from her heart.
Charles was no doubt a pain in her ass. She came to think that he was doing this on purpose so
that he could cheat her into spending money at his shop. If this was the case, then he was
indifferent from any
of those cunning persons around her!
Taking a deep breath, she gritted her teeth and forced a smile on her face, "Mr. Sullivan! Now I
suddenly remember that my friend had sent me a text message a while ago. I guess she isn''t
feeling quite well at the moment. Do you mind if I drop by at your shop and have a seat?"
