Sissi nodded, "Well, my ex-husband is a coward. He only bullies the weak. Now that you have found a lawyer for me to put pressure on him. So presumably, he will think twice if he wants to grumble to my parents. In that case, I don't have to see my parents in a hurry and make them sad."
Patrick said disapprovingly, "You'd rather take a chance than telling them the truth? What if your ex-husband insists on telling your parents about the divorce and that you have come back to Northville? Aren't you afraid that your parents will be provoked, even badly?"
"I..." Sissi looked at him gloomily. Patrick caught a trace of struggle and sadness in her eyes.
He could not help but ask, "What exactly are you afraid of?"
At this time, Sissi could not hold back her tears. "I am afraid they won't treat me as their daughter anymore! Also, I am afraid...as more people know that I have returned to Northville. Eventually, your family will know about it. I... I can't take this risk..."
Patrick's eyes darkened. It was undeniable that Sissi's concern was reasonable. If he took Sissi to her parents, would they choose to stand on Sissi's side considering how spiteful they were?
Sissi took a step forward and just leaned into Patrick's arms.
She closed her eyes and enjoyed the closeness of their hearts at this moment. "Patrick... Patrick... I really can't bear the possibility of losing you the second time..."
Being back in Northville this time, Sissi had also made up her mind.
She was certain that Patrick still had feelings for her, and it was indeed a truth. It did not matter even if her life was uncertain with no future ahead.
She loved Patrick, and so did he. Would it be too much if she fought for her happiness?
"Patrick, promise me. Don't let me go, okay?" Sissi sniffed and buried her lovely face in Patrick's chest, rubbing it gently.
Patrick's old self would have lost control and ruined everything.
But right this time, Sissi obviously thought too highly of her charm. Although Patrick let her hold him, he still did not reciprocate.
When he heard Sissi ask him not to let go, a trace of pain flashed across Patrick's eyes. Why was his mood so strange? Obviously, the person he loved was in his arms, but he always thought of another
beautiful face...
Could it be that he had become fickle just like Sissi?
The image of Amelia curling up on the ground kept flashing in his mind. Thinking about it carefully, he found that she was really petite. She was obviously a cute woman that deserved to be loved, but she always crossed with him!
In a split second, the image of Amelia asking Huxton to carry her away was squeezed into Patrick's mind. At once, the image was enlarged to a point that Patrick's eyes turned cold and distant.
She could not blame him for being heartless anyway if she did not personally drive Huxton away.
On the other side, Sissi was still rubbing herself and began to feel horny.
Her red lips slightly opened. She looked at Patrick seductively and was about to kiss him...
Being so close to her, Patrick immediately knew what she was going to do.
Staring at her beautiful red lips, Patrick's eyes darkened slightly.
"Wasn't this what I've been expecting?" he thought.
He had lost count of how many times he had dreamt about his high school life. There was a scene where the barefaced Sissi, who was dressed in a long white dress, stood in front of him while listening to
his confession with a blush.
