Patrick gently grabbed the beautiful hand against his chest and kissed it. "Amy, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you now."
Amelia's heart sank. "If you don't tell me, I will ask Big Brother!"
As she spoke, she was about to break free from his hands.
Patrick knew that she was angry. He couldn't help grabbing her hand more tightly and not letting her go. "Big Brother promised me that he wouldn't tell you either."
Hearing this, Amelia frowned and said, "It seems that your plan is very dangerous."
Patrick smiled helplessly and said, "Amy, sometimes I really hope that you could be more stupid."
"How can you still laugh?" Amelia stared at the smile on his face and said angrily, "Do you know that I am worried to death?"
"I know, but I really can't tell you." Patrick insisted.
"You don't say it, and you won't let Big Brother say it. Obviously, you don't treat me as your family. Since that's the case, I don't want your people to protect me. I'll go and discuss the countermeasures with Uncle Quartley." In order to force him to tell the truth, Amelia deliberately said.
Patrick raised his eyebrows and said, "Amy, do you think I'll fall into your trap and tell you everything if you provoke me on purpose?"
"You!" Amelia's intention was exposed. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and look at him angrily.
Patrick raised his hand and pinched her hand gently. "Well, I don't mean to hide it from you. You'll know when the time comes."
"When the time comes?" Amelia asked, "When will it be?"
Patrick rubbed both sides of his nose and changed the subject. "Amy, I'm a little sleepy. I want to rest fora while."
"You haven't said it yet!"
Patrick added, "You know that I didn't sleep well last night."
Hearing this, Amelia had to get out of the way. "Okay, have a good rest."
Patrick's thin lips curled into a smile.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Amelia said again, "When you wake up, let's talk."

Although Amelia wanted to ask, Patrick had made up his mind. She really couldn't do anything to him.
No matter if it was coercion or seduction, he wouldn't say it. When she brought up the matter of moving to the Home of Quartley to scare him, he would use George and his wife to suppress her. She couldn't hurt George and his wife, so this so- called "run away from home" was useless!
As for seduction, that was not even to mention!
Whenever she took the initiative to be intimate with him, he would pretend to be lustful and take advantage of her first. Then, when she asked about it, he would immediately return to being a gentleman and say nothing!
"This bastard!"
She had thought that it would not be difficult to dig out something from his mouth, but as time passed, she could not dig out anything useful.
She had asked her sister- in- law, Nora, to inquire about it from Owen. In the end, the two brothers' tone was surprisingly the same. They kept it a secret from them and refused to say it!
"I'm so angry!"
Just as Amelia was complaining in the room, a figure appeared outside the door and happened to hear this sentence.
"Amelia, what's wrong with you?"
When Amelia heard the voice, she subconsciously looked at the door. When she saw that it was Alice, she couldn't help sticking out her tongue and said obediently, "Alice."
Alice smiled and said, "Your father asked me to ask you to watch TV. Coincidentally, your door was not closed, so... I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you."
"It doesn't matter!" Amelia quickly said, "I'll go with you now."
"Well." Although Alice smiled faintly, she had been paying attention to Amelia's every move. When she saw her coming out, she took her hand and asked softly, "Amelia, tell me the truth. Did you have an argument with Patrick?"
"Ah? No." Amelia denied it because she didn't want another person to worry about her.
Alice didn't expose her. "It's good that you didn't. Amelia, although I'm not your biological mother, I treat you just like my biological daughter. You can tell me anything."
"Well, I know. Alice, you are so nice." Amelia was moved.
As they walked to the living room, they saw George staring at the TV. Amelia's attention was attracted and she also looked at the TV. As a result, when she looked at it, the TV began to broadcast advertisements.
Amelia did not take it seriously and withdrew her eyes. Taking advantage of the advertisement, she called out, "Dad."
George twisted his neck. When he saw them, he couldn't help but smile. But then, he thought of something and his smile disappeared.
Amelia knew that they had a lot of people, so she changed the subject and said, "Since it's a play, it's better to make it real. I've already made it clear to the public that I don't have any psychological problems. So I also want to attend this charity party."
"No!" Patrick refused without hesitation.
"If I don't go, will Sawyer fall into the trap? Now everyone knows that we love each other very much. Isn't it strange that you don't take me to the party? What if Sawyer gets suspicious and chooses not to go? Then your plan with your big brother will fail, won't it?"
Seeing that he could not speak, Amelia held his hand, put it on her cheek, and persuaded him, "So, let me go with you, okay?"
"Amy, I can't let anything happen to you!" Patrick didn't want her to risk her life to lure Sawyer out!
Amelia said with a smile, "I believe that you will be able to take me back safe and sound like you did last time."
Seeing that her eyes were full of admiration and trust for him, Patrick couldn't help but have the idea that if he refused her again, he would not be a man. But it was not a joke. It didn't matter if something happened to him. After all, he was tough and lucky. But what about her? It was different!
"Amy, last time we had Sissi as a bargaining chip, but now he doesn't even care about Sissi. When he escaped from prison, Sissi begged him to take her with him. As a result, he kicked her and hurt her womb. She is of no use to us now."
As for Ryan, Abner, and Kaiden, he didn't intend to use them anymore. After all, they were Amy's relatives.
After learning of Sissi's ending, Amelia sighed with emotion. "It seems that Sawyer has really given up on Sissi."
"So, you should stay at home on Friday and wait for my brother's and my news. Besides, Sawyer may not take action on that day."
Hearing this, Amelia lowered her head slightly and said, "Well, I'll listen to you."
Patrick was very pleased to convince her. If he had known that she would be so easygoing this time, he would not have kept it from her for the past two days.

On the other side, in the Home of Quartley.
Ryan waited for two days. Just like Amelia had said, Ruth was back!
On one hand, he was excited, and on the other hand, he felt solemn. When he thought that Ruth was likely to come home because of their son, he couldn't help sighing.
"Madam, you're finally back!"
The servants were very happy to see Ruth. After all, she was a very kind person and everyone liked her.
