At this moment, when Patrick laid down on the bed, Amelia realized that it was time for her to change the bed.
Upon hearing that Amelia wanted to sleep in the guest room, Patrick could not stop sneering. "Are you kidding me? It's not easy to have your husband follow you back yet you wanted to sleep separately? You're making me a laughing stock!"
Amelia ruefully thought that it was already too harsh for the bed to contain Patrick, if she were to join in, it would probably fall apart!
As for Patrick, it was really hard for him spent his night with his wife. He then said, "You have to think about it before you leave. If Alice found that we slept in separated rooms tomorrow morning, what do you think her reaction would be?"
Amelia's expression changed upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Patrick snorted and said, "She probably thinks that we aren't getting along, doesn't she? It's not easy to be a stepmother. It's more than enough to worry about dad and Brittany. Are you trying to make her even more tired?"
Hearing what he said, Amelia felt ashamed and said,
"Then I'll sleep on the bed and you'll sleep on the floor."
Patrick's brows twitched. How could this be said by a human? He had never slept on the floor since he was born!
That was not right, Amelia's attitude towards him was not like this before, why did it all change in a sudden?
Patrick was still thinking about what had gone wrong. He quickly thought of it and asked, "Are you trying to vent your anger on me for Jessica?"
Amelia said frankly, "A part of it is for Jessica. You have to know that the time I spent with her is much longer than the time I spent with you. You suspected her in front of me, it really made me felt uncomfortable. It's the same for me to talk ill about your friends in front of you. Presumably... you won't like to hear them, do you?"
Patrick was silent. Because of Amelia's words, he suddenly thought of the word 'gossipy'.
"And..." Amelia glanced at the pitifully small single bed behind them and said, "It's a single bed. I don't think it's enough for the two of us to be in it, right?"
Patrick looked back. Indeed, he felt its narrowness as soon as he sat on it. But for him, the narrower the bed was the merrier it was, which meant that he could have more contact with Amelia.
He then said in a very serious tone, "It's not difficult to solve this problem. I can be on top of you, or you can be on top of me, isn't it fine?"
"But... my stomach shouldn't be pressed on." As soon as she said this, Amelia saw that Patrick was stunned for a moment.
She immediately felt that something was wrong as if she had exposed something.
"Are you on your periods?" Patrick replied immediately.
Amelia's expression twisted for a while, but then, she let out a hollow laugh and said, "Yeah... but it isn't here yet. I'm just feeling a little pain at the moment."
Patrick calculated the date in his mind and found that her periods were really closed, so he did not think too much about it and said. "Fine, you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the ground."
Amelia's gaze froze. She was just joking. How could she really let a master like Patrick sleep on the floor? She did not forget that he was still having a fever.
But since she was pregnant, it was also impossible for her to lie on the ground and let the baby suffer.
"Well just stick to the original plan and I shall sleep alone in the guest room." She strongly suggested.
Patrick said with a cold face, "It seems that you didn't hear what I've said just now. Do you want to let Alice feel that we are not going along well?"
Amelia waved her hands in a hurry. "No... that's not the point."
"Then it's settled then! No more objection!" Patrick had just won the conversation with just a few words!
