As soon as Patrick heard that Amelia was going to have dinner at Hobert's house, he gave Huxton a wink. Both of them pulled the two women together into the car.
When the car door beside Dr. Scarlett was closed by Huxton, she came back to her senses. After all, she was not as experienced as Amelia.
On the other hand, Amelia's left wrist was gripped tightly by Patrick. He took advantage of the situation and pulled her wrist but unfortunately he could not pull her.
Patrick looked over and found her right hand was being pulled by Hobart!
Patrick frowned his brow, he just stepped out from the car and talked to Hobart with a poker face, "Let go of her hand!"
Hobart refused to show weakness. "You're the one should let go! Why should I let her go?"
Patrick tightened his grip on Amelia's fair wrist. "I'm her husband!"
Hobart sneered, "Husband? Then why didn't you admit it in front of that shop manager just now? And why did you have to wait for me to pay for your wife's clothes? Don't tell me that the second young master of the Hopper Family can't even afford to pay five hundred thousand?"
Patrick's face became more and more gloomy. "You are just an outsider and you don't have the right to meddle our affairs!"
Hobart grinned cheekily and said, "How can I be an outsider? Don't forget that my future brother-in-law is Ms. Amelia's childhood friend. In this way, I can be considered as Ms. Amelia's friend, right? Ms. Amelia, am I right?"
After Hobart finished talking, he did not forget to interact with Amelia.
"I..." Amelia was about to speak but Patrick glared at her coldly and gave her a warning. If she talked again, she was really not far from death.
After that, Patrick said to Hobart in an ambiguous tone, "You are quite carefree after your family having a big problem."
Hobart was puzzled. "Something happened o my family? Why didn't I know about it?"
Patrick took advantage of Hobart when he was distracted, and split off Hobart's hand that was holding on to Amelia's.
After successfully taking Amelia into his arms, he said to Hobart with a faint smile, "Your sister..."
"Patrick!" Amelia suddenly screamed and stopped him from talking more.
Patrick looked down coldly and threatened, "If you don't want me to tell him more, get in the car with me."
Amelia felt wronged and said, "I will get into the car as long as you don't say it!"
Hobart's expression gradually turned serious when he saw that both of them were reluctant to speak. "Tell me what actually happened to my sister"
Amelia was worried that Patrick would bring up the matter of Maryanne pushed Amelia down the stairs. She quickly raised her hand to cover his thin lips. She shook her head at Hobart and said, "Nothing! He's just wants to tease you!"
On the other hand, Hobart felt that something was not right.
At this moment, Amelia suddenly shivered.
"You!" She glared at Patrick angrily. However, he just behave like a gentleman and acted like what happened was just her illusion.
Hobart noticed the unnatural blush on her face and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Amelia's hand which covered on Patrick's lips trembled slightly. Patrick licked her palm and he did not feel ashamed at all!
After Amelia pulled herself together, she said to Hobart as if nothing had happened, "I'm fine, but I can't treat you to dinner today..."
Hobart said with sympathy, "I understand. Who told you to marry such a controlling freak? If you marry me, I will promise that I won't care about no matter where you want to go, who you want to meet, or what time you want to go home."
