Chapter 884
Amelia bit her lower lip in anxiety. To prevent herself from bing a joke in front of them, she
forced herself to reach out to her phone from the handbag.
Lowering her head, she began to pretend to dial a number. Seemingly hit the call button, she held
her phone next to her ear for the next second.
"Hey, Yvonne... It''s me, Amelia.... Uh? Is your stomach upset still?... Oh, so you''re noting
anymore. It''s alright... We can meet up on another day. Sure, please take care... Bye!"
With that said, she stuffed her phone back into the handbag without hesitation. She then nced at
Patrick with her expression disappointed, "My friend had a stomachache. I don''t think she is going
to make it today."
Patrick seemingly smiled at her but it was hard to tell if he really meant it, "Stomachache? What a
coincidence!"
Amelia replied calmly, "I know right! By the way Mr. Sullivan can prove that I wasn''t lying."
Resting his fist near his mouth, Charles cleared his throat and said, "Yes, I can prove it. Amelia had
told me the same thing earlier."
The truth was that he had been disguising his smile behind the fist. Although he did not know
exactly the reason behind her lies, he had to admit that she was such a terrible liar.
The call between her and this person named Yvonne was the best example.
Logically speaking, they could have more or less heard the voiceing from the other end of the
call since they were both sitting right opposite of her. However, all this while they could only hear
Amelia speaking over the phone. It was hard to not attract their suspicions that she had made up
the call.
Charles nced at Patrick with great interest. He could tell that Patrick too knew that she was lying.
He began to look forward to what Patrick was going to say next.
Patrick asked with his tone calm, "Since Yvonne can''t make it, does that mean that you have to
cancel your entire n today?"
Charles was surprised that Patrick had chosen not to expose her.
Amelia was convinced that her acting skill had sessfully fooled them. Feeling relieved, she said,
"Not really. I have made other n as well." "Let''s say, buying a car?" Patrick asked tentatively.
Amelia was choked by his words. All in a sudden, she felt as if Patrick could read her mind all the
time.
Sulking, she replied, "It''s possible."
Charles was amused by her answer. With that being said, she had already exposed herself from her
lies! Charles could not help wondering if she had never put on guard against Patrick.
Sweeping his nce at the store, Patrick asked with almighty pride, "Which one do you like?"
Looking around, Amelia still had in mind the same answer even after Charles had already
introduced each of the car models to her moments ago.
Amelia was still sulking over his attitude earlier of the day. Therefore, she said, "I told you that I was
just passing by. In fact, I already have my favorite brand in mind."
Patrick continued to ask, "Eh? Don''t you mind sharing with us."
To stand firmly on the point that she would not benefit Charles, Patrick''s best friend, Amelia found
herself uttering, "Ferrari."
Patrick swept a nce at Charles.
After all, Charles had been knowing Patrick so well that he immediately got his message. He said,
"Amelia, what a coincidence! There is another Ferrari 4S store under my name which happens to be
a stone away from here. I assure you that it''s only walking distance away."
Amelia stunned for a while before she eximed without showing her sorrow, "Hahaha... What a
coincidence."
At this time, Patrick spoke with his tone serious, "Charles, it''s better to get going now. Could you
please lead the way?"
"No! No please!" Amelia shouted frantically.
The female customers around would probably feel envious of Amelia as she had managed to make
two gorgeous men looking at her at the same time!
"What did you say?" Raising his eyebrows, Patrick asked.
Amelia replied feasibly, "It''s too hot out there. I don''t want to trouble you, Mr. Sullivan."
"No worries. I''m more than honored to assist you." Charles immediately sensed something wrong
from his words as soon as he finished his words. Feeling the threatening gaze from the back, he
hurriedly added, "What I mean is that I''m more than honored to assist the both of you."
With that said, Charles took a glimpse at Patrick. Patrick seemed to be pleased with Charles''
reconstruction of the sentence as he acknowledged satisfactorily, "Hmn."
However, Amelia knew very well that Ferrari was definitely out of her budget range. She muttered,
"Actually I realize that Audi is also an attractive option. Hadn''t I been driving Audi previously?"
Ever since she bumped into Charles, every sentence of her was self-contradictory. Even Amelia
herself could not help wondering if she had already exposed herself much earlier.
In face of her constant change of mind and selfcontradicting speech, smiling, Charles made no
comment. He would let Patrick to take charge of the situation.
Patrick reached out to touch her head pamperingly before he asked, "tell me, which car do you
like?"
When he saw Amelia pointing her finger at the showroom with the disy of Audi QQ, Patrick found
his mood indescribable.
The car that she was pointing at was exactly the same kind that he had burnt down previously.
Even Charles could not helpmenting, "Amelia is such a loyal person."
Despite the fact that Charles was a mere outsider, in fact he was the one who had a right to judge.
He had been dealing with all sorts of women for the past thirty years. Most of the women would not
stop chasing after something better in life. Especially when they had a better option, they would
abandon the existing one without a doubt. Therefore, it was surprising to know that women who
only stuck to their original preference all the time like Amelia still existed in this world.
Everyone would have gone after what they thought was the best so long as it was what they could
financially afford. That was why Amelia''s loyalty was particrlymendable.
All this while he had been thinking that Amelia did not deserve Patrick. Then, he had changed his
mind. Charles began to be convinced that it was Patrick''s gain to have a wife like her.
The truth was that both of them had been overanalyzing the whole situation.
Aspared to choosing what was the best, Amelia would rather choose what she thought was fit
for her.
She had already familiarized herself with the Audi QQ that she used to drive previously. If she
bought the same car, surely she could get used to the new car easily.
Amelia was someone who was afraid to deal with troubles, yet she always found herself in trouble
all the time. Therefore, all she wanted was to therge extent in her life was to avoid unnecessary
troubles.
Life experience had taught Patrick and Charles to always observe and analyze one''s true character
to the extent that sometimes it was inevitable for them to overthink everything. The truth was that
Amelia was not as a saint as they had been thinking by now.
Pulling himself from the thought, Patrick said, "Take whatever you like. Charles..."
Charles added, "I know what to do."

With that said, he stood up from his chair right away and headed to the counter.
Startling, Amelia immediately realized what Charles was up to.
Just as she was about to get up so that she could stop Charles, she was pulled by Patrick.
Losing her bnce, the next second all she knew was that she had already fallen into his embrace.
The overwhelming smell of his fragrance made her lose her mind all in a sudden.
She started thinking when was thest time he put on ''Water of Life''.
He had stopped using it ever since the return from Timothy Vige?
Amelia could not recall.
Their posture had attracted attention from the surrounding. Coming back to her sense, she hurriedly
nced up and said, "Let go of me now!
People are watching us!"
Lowering his gaze, Patrick looked at her and said, "You thought that I wanted to hug you? It was
you who lost your bnce and fell into my arms. Had I not pulled you, you''re going to fall onto the
ground by now."
