On the other side, Patrick stood up from the sofa and tidied his clothes.
His disdainful look had led to the fear of the troop of security guards that he might take them as his punching bag again.
But Patrick did not do that.
He walked over to Finley who was tearing. Then he began to speak as if he had already calmed himself down, "Total up the sum of your loss today. Once you're done, send it to my email. I'll let my finance department to transfer the amount to you."
Finley sniffed a little and whispered to Patrick, "Uncle... It's not all because of the matter of money. It's just that I almost couldn't recognize you just now. You scared me."
Patrick startled for a while before he gently said, "I didn't mean to scare you."
In fact, even Patrick himself felt unbelievable that he had became such an irritable and reckless person for Amelia, let alone Finley.
In the car.
After fastening her seatbelt carefully, Amelia subconsciously turned her head side way towards the window as if this could avoid the atmosphere of awkwardness between the two of them.
Patrick's expression darkened upon seeing this. He turned his car towards the direction of the highway.
No one spoke along the way.
At Land of Fragrance.
As usual, Patrick stopped his car right in front of his house and let Amelia got down first before he drove his car to the garage on basement.
The moment when she used a key to open the door, only then Amelia realized that only a day had been passed!
Perhaps it was because Patrick had been looking for troubles around the whole day. Not only that, he had involved her into the troubles he made as well.
Hence, she could not help feeling that the time had been slow to pass.
"Madam, are you back?"
Upon removing her heels and walking towards the hall with her handbag, Huxton appeared right in front of her from nowhere.
Amelia forced a smile and said, "Mm, I'm back. Your Master is back as well." "I know." Huxton pointed at the device on his ear.
Amelia broke into a tiny laughter and said, "I had almost forgotten about it." Some time later, she spoke again with her expression calm, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room first. Goodnight."
"Madam, are you trying to avoid sir?" Huxton's words stopped Amelia from moving forward.
Amelia turned to look at Huxton in confusion as if she did not understand his meaning, "Huxton, what do you mean?"
"Madam, with all due respect, when sir wasn't at Northville, you've been searching for him with your best attempt. Right now he's back, don't you think you should make him stay with your compassion?"
It was apparent on the fact that Huxton was reprimanding Amelia for her coldness from his words.
Amelia looked at him amusingly, "Huxton... You..."
Even if she got a lot to say right now, she could only bring herself to heave a heavy sigh.
Only she herself knew that she had suffered a lot of disappointment all this while.
Seeing that Amelia was unmoved by his words, Huxton could not help feeling sympathy towards his master's effort and good intention for her previously in the saloon, "Madam, you..."
"Shh, listen to me first." Amelia placed her finger on her lips and smiled softly, "If it's possible, you should have installed a hearing device on your master as well. Then you would know who's at fault now."
With that said, she patted Huxton's shoulder before she turned around and went upstairs.
Moments later...
After he parked his car, Patrick went into the hall just to find that Huxton froze on his feet.
Glancing at Patrick's figure from the corner of his eye, Huxton came back to his sense and said, "Sir, you're back."
"Mm." Patrick untied his tie and threw it away while he asked, "Where's madam?"
"She had returned to the room." Huxton stopped for a moment and added, "It was her own bedroom that she returned to."
