"Learning?" Amelia struggled to squeeze out the word. She would rather sleep now.
"Yes, learning." Patrick emphasized.
"What should I learn?" Amelia lifted her slightly reddened face and protested with dissatisfaction, "I want to sleep! Sleep!"
"Well go to sleep after learning." At this moment, Patrick acted as if he was coaxing a disobedient child. He was full of patience.
If Amelia heard Patrick talk to her like this when she was wide awake, she would definitely dropped her jaw. Unfortunately, she was drunk now, so drunk that she thought all of this was a dream.
"What should we learn?" She asked vaguely with her long voice.
"I'll teach you and you'll just have to repeat after me," Patrick stressed each word.
Amelia closed her eyes and lightly blurted out, "Okay."
So, Patrick started his teaching session...
"Call me'hubby'."
"Hubby..."
"Then call me Dear." "Dear."
"Let's add in more feelings."
"Dear..."
"What else have you learnt?"
"Hubby..."
Patrick was tempting her. "Now can you read it together?"
Amelia was stunned for a long time, then she muttered in a daze, "Dear hubby..."
Patrick smiled and said, "Great, you are learning fast. Now, you should say that in the future whenever you need help. Can you remember that?"
Amelia said with a pitying expression, "I've remembered..."
"Good girl." Patrick lowered his head to look at her. The look in his eyes was so soft.
Out of a sudden, Amelia shared her true feelings after drinking. "Patrick Hopper, I like you."
Patrick was stunned and his chest was pounding violently.
Amelia looked up at his eyes. "Do you like me?"
Pulling himself together, Patrick opened his mouth and said, "I..."
Amelia interrupted abruptly, "Ah! Forget it! You'd better not say anything more... There is not a single good word that has been spoken from your mouth..."
As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around his neck, buried her face in his chest and fell asleep.
Seeing this, Patrick had no choice but to hold her waist to prevent her from slipping off the chair.
In the bedroom.
Patrick carried Amelia in his arms and brought her to bed, he then stood bedside the bed and sighed. Before he could say anything, she fell asleep.
At night.
Amelia finally woke up after sleeping for a whole afternoon.
She checked herself and found that her clothes were completely intact on her body and there was no trace of them rolling the sheets. It seemed that she had just taken a casual nap.
But she clearly remembered... that she had drunk a lot of wine under the Patrick's guidance and she had said a lot of nonsense too...
At this moment, the door was opened.
She raised his eyes and saw Patrick standing at the door. He glanced at her from a distance and asked, "Are you awake?"
"Did... Did I get drunk just now?" Amelia asked as she thought that Patrick just appeared right on time.
Patrick said coolly, "Yes."
