"That's not what I mean." The smile on Amelia's face became stiff. Didn't she express it clearly or Patrick deliberately misunderstood her good intentions?
"Enough!" Patrick looked at the bridal bouquet and said impatiently, "Give it to me."
Amelia held the bridal bouquet, and said with fear in her water eyes, "What... do you want to do?"
Patrick coaxed her hypocritically, "Give it to me, and I'll buy you a better one."
While Amelia was hesitating whether she should believe him or not, Patrick had already reached out his hands and took the bridal bouquet away.
Patrick sneered and ruined the bridal bouquet in front of Amelia. When the petals fell to the ground, his uneasy heart finally calmed down.
Amelia wanted to get married to another man again? "Don't even think about it!"
As long as he didn't mention the divorce, she could only be his wife for the rest of her life.
In Northville.
Sitting in a private car sent by the Hopper Family, Amelia looked at the streets outside and had a complicated feeling.
The trip of two days and one night was particularly long for them. Thinking of the what Granny Hopper said to her before she left, Amelia heaved a sigh gloomily.
"Amelia, give birth to a baby for Patrick as soon as possible. This is I and your grandpa's long-cherished wish."
Granny Hopper's words made Amelia's heart sink. She really couldn't tell Granny Hopper the truth that the one Patrick loved was his teacher.
When she was lost in thought, she saw a large wilderness outside the window. It was the tourist area bid by Daniel.
Usually, there were a lot of tourists in the tourist area. But that day, it was cordoned off, and there were some workers who were evacuating the surrounding visitors.
Looking at those excavators which were used to transport mud, Amelia had a ridiculous guess. Did Daniel make the government approve the project by himself?
Soon, the car stopped at the gate of Roxxon Corporation. When Amelia was about to get off the car, Patrick, who had been resting all the way with his eyes closed, suddenly said, "You have a day off today. I'll ask the driver to send you home."
"Why?" Amelia asked in confusion.
Patrick opened his eyes and said blandly, "Cynthia has been dismissed by my mother. No one cleaned our house in the past two days. You can have a house cleaning when you go back."
Sh*t! Did Patrick regard her as a servant?
Amelia was about to complain, but after thinking for a while, she asked curiously, "Hey, why did mom dismiss Cynthia? Isn't her family very poor?"
After Patrick looked at her for a few seconds then asked, "Shouldn't you be the happiest one since she was fired? But now you look like as if you are sympathetic to her."
He still remembered what Amelia said after making an appointment with Cynthia alone.
Every woman would treat her rival in love unfriendly. But Amelia seemed to be somewhat hypocritical when she asked about Cynthia's family situation.
Looking at Patrick's mocking eyes, Amelia said honestly, "You are wrong. I have no sympathy for her at all. After she sent the video to mom to slander me, I really hoped that she could be driven out of Roxxon. Unfortunately, I'm not in charge of Roxxon and you don't want to help me. But I still hate her so much."
Patrick said in a depressed tone, "Who told you that I didn't help you?"
Amelia said with her face was full of suspicion, "Did you?"
