At the same time.
Relying on his impressive height, Patrick saw the name on her mobile screen, Milton.
He suddenly gave a cold look. "You've just finished dealing with Sawyer, and now you have to deal with Milton. You're really busy."
Amelia took a chance to glance at him with a helpless face. "Yes, I also feel that I am swamped today, but when it comes to dealing with someone, you seem to have missed a person."
Patrick narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Who?"
It had only been a few days since they got divorced, and she had already hooked up with so many men?!
Amelia felt funny and gave Patrick a look, "You."
Patrick had to admit that he was relieved, although her answer was annoying.
"Well, do you have any other questions?"
Amelia shook her phone gently, indicating that if he had nothing, she would answer the phone.
The name 'Milton' had made Patrick felt dizzy. He reflexively wanted to snatch her phone.
Amelia, who was alert to his gesture, whispered,
"Don't do that. We're divorced."
Hearing this, Patrick's raised hand could not help but clenched into a fist.
Amelia restrained the bitterness in her eyes. Then she turned her back, and swiped the answer button. "Hello, Milton."
Patrick could not help but feel a surge of anger rising in him when he heard Amelia greeting Milton softly. However, he could only try his best to restrain it.
Amelia and Milton were still talking on the phone. "Well, yes, I have divorced him. It happened a few days ago."
Hearing this, Patrick felt as if the space around him seemed to have compressed a little. He really wanted to scream to relieve the pressure.
"Milton..." At this moment, Amelia's tone was tinged with guilt. "Sorry, it's not that I don't want to tell you. I just can't find the right time to tell you. I don't want you to worry about something unnecessary for me!"
[Don't want him to worry about something unnecessary?]
Patrick's face darkened.
Was their marriage 'unnecessary' for Amelia?
Amelia went on to say, "Milton, calm down. Listen..."
Patrick unconsciously held his breath and wanted to hear what she was going to say.
"I'm living a good life now. I felt a sense of relief, do you understand? I don't care what the outsiders say about me! As long as you guys trust me, that's enough!"
Amelia said it! But the words she made were like adding fuel to the flames!
Patrick could imagine Milton's expression on the other side of the phone!
He must be like a silly boy, waiting to cheer for his goddess to be reborn!
The next conversation between Amelia and Milton proved his prediction.
"Milton, thank you for being happy for me. It's fortunate for me to have such a considerate friend like you in my life..."
Patrick was contemptuous of this.
Milton was obviously trying to find a chance to pursue Amelia. He was genuinely happy for himself!
Milton could not have forgotten that Maryanne was with him, could he?
It seemed that he should find a time to remind Milton!
While Patrick was distracted, Amelia and Milton's call was drawing to an end. Finally, Amelia ended the conversation with, "We'll keep in touch."
Amelia tilted her head cutely and asked, "Is it because you're old and your ears don't work well? I said gramps is very supportive of me to fmd...hmnn!"
Patrick was no more than five centimeters away from her. Amelia did not even have a place to hide before the domineering man suddenly leaned down and bit her lower lips angrily.
When Patrick raised his head, he saw Amelia was about to wipe her mouth with the back of her hand.
He shouted in a low voice, "Put your hands down!"
Amelia's body was more obedient than her consciousness. Hearing his sudden shout, her hands froze in the air.
Looking in her puzzled eyes, Patrick said to her word by word, "Never, ever erase the mark I gave you!"
Amelia, who had finally realize what had happened, was about to retort when she heard his fierce voice. "Hmm?"
She bit her lower lips and did not say anything.
Patrick was furious seeing Amelia with a look of feeling indignant but dared not speak.
The expression on her face was as if she was saying that it was extremely humiliating for being kissed by him!
He continued, "As for gramps, if he brought up the matter of you finding a boyfriend again, do you know how to answer him?"
Amelia muttered, "What else can I say? Of course, I have to thank him for his concern."
Patrick emphasized, "What I want is your refusal!"
Amelia's heart trembled. "You want me to refuse gramps? Please! He is more overbearing and unreasonable than you, okay? And he always talks about his high blood pressure. How do you want me to refuse?"
Patrick asked in a strange tone, "I think you're the one not willing to reject, aren't you?"
Amelia looked at him gloomily. "Can you stop being so unreasonable?"
Patrick raised his eyebrows dangerously. "What did you say?"
