In the face of Sissi's complaints in a joking manner, Sawyer did not take it seriously. Instead, he tried to ease their condition. "It's my fault, I’ll try to avoid it in the future."
Sissi chimed in after she heard what he said, "I've done something wrong as well. I was too petty. I knew that Amelia is your sister, yet I still constantly got jealous of her. Sawyer, after calming my mind over this period of time, I've already thought through it. You’re treating Amelia well so that you can use her to go against Patrick one day. I shouldn't be so petty."
Sawyer was somewhat surprised after he heard her words, and he asked, "Sissi, have you finally understood my painstaking efforts?"
"Yeah." Sissi nodded at him. "I could understand that you're roping her in. But can you be considerate to me as well? I also need your company, so..." Faced with her hesitation, Sawyer could not help but feel a faint sense of fatigue in his heart.
He did not know what was wrong with himself. Recently, he had been more keen to spend time with Amelia, but he was lack of interest in coming home to accompany Sissi.
It was probably because Amelia could bring him a relaxing atmosphere, unlike when he was with Sissi, being full of suspicion and quarrel.
There was also one thing that he did not want to admit. Sissi was indeed not as interesting as Amelia. He seemed to have been tired of Sissi who would only complain about life all day long.
While living alone,
Amelia could always find something to do by herself, but why could Sissi not do the same?
Could he not do anything else besides accompanying her?
In the past, if he was asked to accompany Sissi all day long, he might be able to take it. But concerning his career, situation, and ambition for the time being, he could no longer only revolve around her. He did not need her to help with these things. He only hoped that she could understand him more.
However, revealing such thoughts to her at such a moment would probably be misinterpreted by her. She would have turned it into his excuse that he wanted to accompany Amelia and abandon her. So he had to say, "Well, I'll take you to the nearby shopping mall tomorrow. Haven’t you always wanted to buy clothes?"
Sissi immediately nodded vigorously. "Yes! When we left Norway last time, I only brought a few clothes with me. They were not enough at all."
"Alright, I'll bring you out tomorrow to buy new clothes. I'll go upstairs and take a bath now." Sawyer finished his words faintly and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Sissi caught up. "Sawyer..."
Sawyer immediately paused, "What's wrong?"
Sissi blinked her charming big eyes, "I mean it when I just said to serve you."
Sawyer was stunned for a moment, then he recalled Sissi's previous words about serving him in the bathroom for a shower. He had thought that they were just some casual words. So had she really meant it?
At the thought that they had finally moved on from bad terms, he truly did not want to quarrel with her anymore. So he nodded and said, "Then come on."
In the bathroom.
After Sawyer took off his shirt, he discovered that Sissi had not even turned on the tap of the bathtub. She just stood there and stared at his body blankly. Although it was fine, but had she not said to serve him?
He had no choice but to ask, "Sissi, shall I just take a bath under the shower head directly?"
Sissi first responded with an "ah?" Then she stared at his perfect abs and said absentmindedly, "I'm fine with it..."
Sawyer got frustrated by her answer.
Sawyer rubbed between his brows and said impatiently, "Sissi, if it's just a shower, then you don't have to serve me here."
Sissi soon asked nervously, "Why?"
"Because it will wet you."
So it was such a reason behind?
Sissi said decisively, "It doesn't matter. I can take another bath with you again!"
In order to express her determination, she began to undress. In a short while, she was completely naked with Sawyer.
In the face of Sissi's obvious hint, it would be too ridiculous if Sawyer still did not understand. So he allowed Sissi to approach him. They hugged and kissed for a while, but did not go further for a long time.
Sissi was about to say something regarding the matter, but Sawyer's kiss alone had made her feel obsessed and weak.
When she came back to her senses, she found herself being carried onto the sink by Sawyer. While he had begun to leisurely take a shower under the shower head.
Sissi's desire was instantly replaced by humiliation. What was going on? She had stripped herself naked to him. Was he still going to be a saint?!
Last time, if she had not accidentally found the lipstick mark on his shirt, he would have already carried her upstairs to show affection. How long had it just been? That he had become unwilling to even touch her.
Tears gradually filled Sissi's eyes. After sliding down the sink, she silently picked up the clothes on the ground. She hastily put them on and quickly escaped from the bathroom!
Sawyer had been standing under the shower head with his back to Sissi. He was facing up with his eyes closed, letting the water wash his body.
When he heard the footsteps behind him getting farther away, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Had he become... less interested in Sissi’s body?
Sawyer was uncertain with his own thought, because he was unsure whether such fatigue was temporary or permanent. And he could only verify it in the future.
When Sawyer came out after the bath, he saw Sissi wrapping herself in a blanket. She was lying on the bed with her back facing him, while her shoulders were slightly shaking as if she was crying.
Said a special-forces soldier in time after he killed a man who was raising his gun at Patrick.
Patrick then immediately made a decision. "Let's go after the two men!" "Yes!" The soldier was really skilful and daring, to have really left alone with Patrick.
The rest who had witnessed the scene, quickly arranged some of them to support Patrick.
For a time, there were endless sounds of things being hit and men getting shot, followed by the sound of men falling to the ground....
Speaking of Sawyer.
He had been shopping for clothes with Sissi in the mall a minute ago. But he suddenly received a call from his subordinate saying that someone had attacked the villa!
Then, Sawyer immediately left Sissi, who was trying on clothes, and walked towards the parking lot with a cold face.
The day that meant to be had finally come!
This time, no matter who it was, he would make them pay a blood price!
At the same time—
Sissi had finished changing her clothes in the fitting room. She was about to let Sawyer have a look at her fit when the shop assistant told her that Sawyer had suddenly left. She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly began to laugh...
While Sawyer drove to the villa in a hurry, he had ordered his men on the phone to send Amelia away through the 'secret passage'.
Then, he called the local gang leader, asking him to send some men over. He wanted to strike a counterattack towards the attackers at his villa!
The local gang leader agreed without thinking. After all, Sawyer had been long dealing with him in the business of drugs. If Sawyer happened to be displeased, he would have to find a new source of supply, which was very troublesome.
Sawyer was planning to capture all the opponents attacking the villa while Patrick's man was turning to Patrick after leading him to have found the library. He said, "Mr. Patrick, this shall be the innermost place in the villa!"
Patrick looked at the library door and saw it wide open. There was a huge footprint on it, obviously being broken into.
Patrick thought for a moment and said to the forces who had caught up with them in a low voice, "Two of you stay outside to guard while the rest follow me into the library. Be careful to hide as there might be an ambush!"
Everyone replied in unison, "Yes!"
After they entered the library, they saw only bookshelves inside without any person. However, they did not drop their guard as there might be opponents hiding behind the bookshelves, waiting to give them a fatal blow!
