The words made Patrick furrowed his eyebrows.
Amelia could tell that it was not an easy decision for him too.
Her eyes showed some warmth at this time, which was comforting enough, "Patrick, please withdraw the command for the sake of Huxton's loyalty, okay?"
Patrick's cold gaze was shifted to somewhere far away. He deliberately avoided Amelia's warm gaze, which would only lead him to make a wrong decision.
"You can't even protect yourself now, and you're still thinking of pleading for Huxton? What a fool."
Amelia knew very well what Patrick meant.
Although she felt the anger growing inside, she pretended to be indifferent. "You want me to personally sack Huxton. If I can't do it, you won't you let me live in the Land of Fragrance? It doesn't matter. The Ramsay Family, the staff dormitory of Apex Construction Corporation, as well as Jessica's home and even the hotel. There are countless places for me to live. I'm not keen on staying in your tortoiseshell!"
Amelia compared Land of Fragrance to a tortoiseshell, which was somewhat illogical.
Although the mansion where Patrick and Amelia were staying had only two floors, it actually occupied an extremely large area.
Otherwise, Patrick would not have sent so many men in black to guard the house, just in case Amelia would run away without anyone noticing.
If Land of Fragrance was described as tortoiseshell, then all the places that Amelia just mentioned were probably snail shells.
Hearing that she belittled Land of Fragrance, Patrick was not angry. "Really? It turns out that you are a woman of integrity. What a pity! It seems like it doesn't apply here."
Hearing this, Amelia was a little embarrassed. It seemed that Patrick did not buy her claim. But it seemed so. He had Sissi with him, so he would not care about her whereabouts.
"That's to say, my trip this time was in vain." Amelia put her hands in pockets, looking as if she had come here to visit the place instead of persuading him.
She said in a relaxed tone, "Well, I will take Huxton in before you change your mind. Anyway, I'm used to him being my butler."
She said casually, but Patrick's face darkened a little bit, "How dare you!"
At the end of the day, he gave in.
Sanity? Alienation? Pretending to be indifferent? All were kept at bay at this moment.
The only expression that was lingering in his mind was Til take Huxton in...'
Under the gloomy gaze of Patrick, the smile slowly faded from the face of Amelia. She said very seriously, "This is not a matter of dare or not. It's you who forced me to make the choice..."
"But why did you choose him?!" Patrick suddenly drew closer to Amelia and glared at her.
Amelia raised her eyes to look at him. "Do you think I should choose you and give him up? Haha, I can't do it. You don't have a conscience. I can't be as conscienceless as you... Uh?"
Before she could finish her words, Patrick kissed her fiercely, with a fit of strong anger and indescribable jealousy!
Patrick's sudden action stunned Amelia for a moment, and she began to push him hard. She did not care about his kiss. Who knew if he had kissed Sissi like this just a moment ago?
Patrick harrumphed when he saw how stubborn the little woman in his arms was. He pressed down on her back with his palms and locked her between his arms and chest!
Their chests were pressed against each other. Since Amelia had no choice but to push his waist instead!
