Amelia moved her hands, which were firmly grasped in his palms, and complained, "It took me a lot of effort to apply them. Don't rub them away."
"I'll try my best." After finishing his words with no sincerity, he bent down and kissed her small mouth...
After a night of love, Patrick caressed his wife's charming eyes through the glimmer of dawn. While she was still asleep, he lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek. Then he got out of bed, picked up his clothes, walked into the bathroom, and got dressed. Then he went out quietly.
When he went downstairs, George saw that he was well- dressed and couldn't help but ask, "Patrick, why are you going to the company so early?"
Patrick walked over and sat down. He poured himself a cup of coffee and tasted it while saying, "No, Dad. I'm going to my brother's police station."
George was curious. "What are you doing at the police station?"
"Hasn't the Home of Quartley been looking for Amy recently?" Seeing George nod, Patrick continued, "I heard from Amy that Ruth came to ask her about the whereabouts of Sawyer yesterday. The Home of Quartley didn't ask about it before, so we can pretend to be stupid. Now that they have asked, it's time for us to take action."
After hearing this, George was very angry. "I told you that their purpose of approaching Amelia was not simple! I didn't expect them to be so thick-skinned that they came to ask Amelia about the news of Sawyer! Amelia is the victim of the whole thing! Did she think about Amelia's feelings when she asked?"
"Dad, calm down first. I heard from Amy that Ruth asked quite politely. Amy didn't mean to argue with her."
George protected her daughter and said, "In my opinion, Amelia is too kind, so she thinks it's not a big deal for her to be bullied all the time. We can't be the same as her!"
Patrick flattered calmly, "Of course. You and I are responsible for protecting her. What do you think?"
"Okay!" After George smiled comfortably, he asked again, "So are you going to the police station to interrogate Sawyer now?"
"Dad, in addition to Sawyer, there is also Sissi locked up in my brother's office. I want to start with her."
George's expression became subtle. "But she's your... old acquaintance. Is it convenient for you?"
The word "old acquaintance" was still George's more polite question after careful consideration. He originally wanted to say "first love" and "old lover".
Patrick said frankly, "Don't worry, Dad. I have had no personal feelings for her for a long time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have caught her and locked her up, causing her to be unable to go back home."
George carefully observed the expression on his face and said, "That's good. In fact, that woman is not good enough for you."
Although he didn't need to mention the past anymore, George still couldn't help murmuring.
In the past, Sissi had to deal with men like Patrick and Sawyer. Not only could she escape unscathed, but she could also make them unable to forget her for many years. It could be seen that her charm and means were extremely horrible.
George was worried that his son-in-law would accidentally fall into the other party's trap, so he reminded him.
But Patrick was thinking about another aspect. "Dad, I wronged Amy in the past. I won't do it again in the future."
Hearing that, George was both gratified and surprised. "That's not what I mean. I just think that that woman is not simple. You have to be careful."
Patrick sighed and said, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you. I've seen many things clearly, just like Sissi.
"When I liked her in the past, I felt that she was good at everything. It was impossible for others to say anything about her. Later, when I came out of my love for her, I realized that she was not so perfect."
George sighed. "Love is like this. When you like someone, you have no reason. Fortunately, you finally came to your senses. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to let Amelia reunite with you."
Patrick nodded at him and stepped in.
When the police saw that the surroundings were dark, they kindly turned on the lights above their heads and instantly lit up everything around them, including... Sissi, who was sleeping in the cell.
After Patrick's eyes got used to the light for a short time, he completely saw the appearance of the person in front of him.
Sissi was not very young, but her plain face and prison uniform made her look more haggard and old-fashioned.
Coupled with the mental oppression caused by the imprisonment for such a long time, she actually had white hair!
Not only that, but she had also lost a lot of weight. Patrick wondered if she had been abused for a second.
Later, thinking about it, she was used to a luxurious life, so she probably lost weight because she couldn't get used to the food in the prison.
At the same time, Sissi, who was in her sleep, felt that something was suppressing her. She was so scared that she opened her eyes at once.
What she saw was Patrick's handsome face, which was somewhat unreal.
He stood in front of her, facing the light and looking down at her with no joy or anger on his face.
Sissi thought that she was dreaming, so she closed her eyes again, but the pressure did not disappear because of it. She had to open her eyes again, only to find that Patrick was still there. She suddenly got up from the bed and asked, "Is it really you?"
Patrick took a step forward. His leather shoes rubbed against the ground, making a slight sound, and the shadows on the ground that were illuminated by the light. All of these were proof of his arrival.
