Chapter 916


    Sissi''s teary eyes were a little shocked. She could not deny that Patrick''s words did sound


    somewhat reasonable.


    "Patrick, I''m sorry, I said these things on impulse. You''ve always been doing good for me,


    otherwise... Why did you say that the baby is yours? But now, the situation is serious. Uncle Howard


    would surely be locking me up. I don''t know what I will be facing in the future?" She said with pain.


    Patrick thought for a while. He also realized that it was a problem.


    But very quickly, he said, "I know my father. I don''t think he will do anything to you. He just wants to


    stop us from meeting up. You can rest assured that I will find a way to save you during this time!"


    Sissi narrowed her watery eyes and said, "But, it''s always better safe than sorry. No one can


    guarantee that Uncle Howard will not take it out on me."


    The two of them whispered to each other for a while. After that, Patrick nodded to Sissi and then


    turned back. He said to Howard who was waiting impatiently, "Dad, how do I know if you abuse her


    privately?"


    Howard red at Sissi. He knew that this woman would always want to make some trouble. "Why


    do I need to torture her? I can''t wait for her to give birth to the baby, and get away from me as far as


    she can!"


    "It''s not a problem if you want me to hand her over to you. But you''re just giving me a verbal


    promise, it''s far from enough." Patrick said calmly.


    Howard thought for a while and said gruffly, "Well, I''ll let you have a video call with her every month,


    and you can make sure that they are both safe and sound with your own eyes. Is that okay?"


    Patrick subconsciously nced at Sissi, he bargained with Howard seeing her reluctance, "No, one


    month is too long."


    Howard asked with a dark face, "How long do you need?"


    Patrick''s thin lips said a shocking answer, "Every day."


    Howard''s mind went nk for a brief moment.


    When he finally came back to his senses, he stomped his feet and said, "B*stard! Don''t go too far!"


    Patrick said timely, "Dad, why don''t we both take a step back and change it to every week."


    Howard looked at Amelia instantly, only to find that she looked calm. He hesitated and said, "Video


    calling once every week, right? Uh... It''s not impossible."


    Patrick then added, "I don''t think we need to make a video call. I''ll go meet Sissi every week to


    make sure both the mother and child are safe."


    Howard was stunned for a moment, then his face became contorted, and he said, "You still want to


    meet her?!"


    Patrick nodded and said, "Dad, nowadays the technology is so advanced. What if you find a woman


    who is pregnant and looks almost the same as Sissi while I''m not paying attention, and get away


    with it on the other side?"


    Howard was so angry that he nearly died. "You little b*stard... I''m not one to do things like this!"

    "Who knows?" Patrick shrugged his shoulders.


    Patrick was getting greedier by the second, Howard stuck to his bottom line and said, "It doesn''t


    matter what you say. This is nothing to talk about!"


    Patrick argued, "Dad, I met up with Sissi just to ensure the safety of the mother and child. I will not


    do anything unnecessary. If you don''t trust me, you can keep an eye on me. I promise I won''t mess


    around! Give me five minutes or three minutes or even one minute, I''ll leave after seeing that she is


    okay."


    There were two reasons for Patrick doing this.


    Firstly, he must ensure that the location of Sissi''s house arrest was absolutely safe, reliable, and


    evenfortable. However, it was impossible to distinguish the living conditions through the video


    call alone. Maybe Howard would lock her up in a well-decorated basement.


    Secondly, Sissi would be insecure when she was in a strange environment. Plus, Christian had


    threatened her. It was only fair that she was in a bad mood.


    Thinking back on their conversation earlier, Sissi''s words were pitiable. Furthermore, Howard''s


    house arrest was inhumane to her. Patrick''s heart softened and agreed to visit her personally.


    "Amelia, what do you say?" Howard gave Amelia a nce, using his eyes to hint at her to refuse


    him fiercely.


    Amelia smiled and said unexpectedly, "It doesn''t matter to me."


    Patrick''s heart sank. He gritted his teeth and felt like it was about to bleed. His instincts told him that


    Amelia had abandoned the marriage, but she did not say it out loud for Howard''s sake.


    Howard''s eyes suddenly opened wide, shocked by her words. "You, you don''t care?!" How could


    this not be a matter!


    Amelia nodded and said, "Dad, I think you should agree. Patrick is the father of the child. He has


    the right to visit his child. If you stop him and if anything happens to the child, won''t you be the


    culprit?"


    For a moment, everyone could not figure out what Amelia was thinking, including Sissi, who was


    also a woman!


    Howard asked confusedly, "Amelia, do you know what you are talking about?"


    Amelia''s beautiful face was expressionless. "I know."


    Howard was speechless.


    Catching a glimpse of the old man''s face, Ameliaforted him, "Dad, don''t worry. I know what I''m


    doing."


    Howard knew that she had other tricks up her sleeve. Waving his hand, he replied, "Forget about it,


    since Amelia has already pleaded for you, then let''s agree on it for the time being! With my guards,


    I''m sure you can''t y any tricks!"


    Sissi''s expression became happier after hearing this. Honestly, she was the one who was afraid that


    Howard would do the lynching!


    After all, she had let down Patrick once, and she was imed to be the child''s mother. This ruined


    Patrick and Amelia''s marriage.


    She had done it twice in a row, Howard had every


    right to hate her in his heart.


    Therefore, she could only try her best to earn Patrick''s rights to visit her every week. This way, it


    would not be easy for Howard to torture her secretly!


    As for Amelia, Sissi never thought that she would agree to divorce Patrick so readily!


    On the contrary, she could not understand Patrick''s attitude. Although he said it was for her and her


    child''s good, it was not difficult for her to find that his eyes often lingered around Amelia. Whenever


    he did not get a response from Amelia, the atmosphere around him would get colder!


    How could Sissi, with so much experience, not understand what this meant?


    However, she did not intend to help Patrick, who seemed to be in a dilemma. Who would be so


    stupid as to help their rival in love?


    That was what Sissi thought, and she could not help but roll her eyes at Amelia secretly.


    "We still have a long way to go. Let''s wait and see who will be the winner!"
