Sean opened his eyes in a daze.
He looked at Richard, who was sleeping beside him. "Let me carry him home. Don't wake him up. Help me wake Patrick up."
"Okay."
Cordy tried to wake Patrick up.
Patrick moved slightly, but he did not want to wake up.
"Go back to your room and sleep," Cordy reminded him. "We've arrived at Cranston Villa."
Patrick struggled slightly before he woke up.
When he glanced at the time, he found that it was now past midnight. It was no wonder he was so sleepy.
He yawned and got out of the car with Cordy.
"Where's Sean?" Patrick was confused.
"He carried Richard back to the room."
"D*mn! I missed another chance to perform well." Patrick became displeased.
Consequently, Cordy was rendered speechless. She wondered if Patrick became dumb after getting into a romantic relationship.
They walked into Cranston Villa, where Patrick insisted on seeing Cordy off to her room.
Cordy did not want to waste time in the middle of the night, so she acquiesced.
"Cordy." Patrick suddenly stopped her when she had said good night and wanted to close the door.
Cordy's eyes moved slightly.
"I like you."
Consequently, Cordy was at a loss for words because she did not expect him to suddenly confess his love for her.
He suddenly seriously confessed his love for her.
He did say that kind of thing in the past, so he never brought it up again later on.
However, he behaved that way out of the blue at that instant.
"I don't know why but I have a feeling that you seem to be getting more distant from me." Helplessness engulfed Patrick.
He was afraid of losing her because of that feeling.
"Patrick, you know that I…"
"I know." Patrick nodded, but in the next moment, he inevitably asked carefully, "After so many years, don't you feel something for me?"
