Couldn't this woman say something that would ease his awkwardness?
Why must she provoked him!
Seeing that Patrick was angry, Amelia put on a posture and said, "Just tell me would you follow me or not. If you choose not to, I'll go back to my room."
Originally, she wanted to ignore him. But when she thought about the scene that he made himself a mess just to find her, her heart softened.
This time, Patrick's mind was crystal clearer. He opened his mouth and promised, "I'll go with you!"
That was more like it.
A trace of satisfaction flashed through Amelia's eyes. She picked up the stool and went to the stairs.
Patrick put his hands in his pockets and followed her in a relaxed mood.
Fifteen minutes later...
Whispers of a man and a woman could be heard from the bathroom.
"How did you train your muscles? Why are they as hard as rocks?" "It's all because of you."
"Me?" "Yes, if I didn't train myself, what should I do if you ran away with another man... Ahl!"
Half an hour had passed...
The bathroom door was pulled open by a hand. A slightly reddened face appeared from the misty air. She gritted her teeth and ran out of the bathroom angrily.
It was Patrick who appeared later. His expression was not much better than Amelia's. His expression was even uglier than that of Amelia's.
Seeing that Amelia was about to open the door and leave, Patrick shouted casually, "Stop! Who said you could go?"
"Who said I'm leaving?" Amelia turned her head and said, "This is my room. You are the one that should be leaving."
At the end of her words, she opened the door and signaled him to leave with her eyes.
Patrick raised his chin and said, "My back hurts.
We'll talk about this after you rub some medicine for me.
Amelia asked in a mocking tone, "First, your back hurts, then it would itch later won't it?"
"How dare you say that!" Patrick ripped his bathrobe and exposed his left shoulder. There were five scratches marks on it! He was resonating with evidence that she was brutal!
Upon seeing this, Amelia smiled and she did not regret it.
Well, it was Patrick who said that she would run away with another man at first. If she did not teach him a lesson, he would think that she was someone he could constantly bully.
Amelia secretly sneered and said, "I'm sorry, my hand slipped just now."
Knowing that Amelia could be begged off, Patrick used a sad and pitiful tone in purpose "You've caused a lot of damage to my body. Don't you think you should compensate me?"
Although Amelia knew that he was acting, she did hesitate and replied, "I can help you but this would be the last time. After this, you must go back to your room immediately."
Patrick furrowed his brows. He could overthrow the command and rejection of Amelia but the estrangement was there. If he did not want it to worsen, he had to learn to endure now.
He would need to bear it until... she was pregnant with his child!
In that case, he would have the absolute reason to keep her by his side!
With such an idea in mind, Patrick agreed with her and said, "I will leave immediately after you applied the medication for me."
