"So, I think that Patrick can take the initiative to buy Huxton and Dr. Jagger a house near the Land of Fragrance as a gift for them."
Before Owen could finish his sentence, Huxton jumped and said, "Master Owen, there's no need to dothat!"
"Actually, it sounds right for me," Patrick said calmly.
"Sir?" Huxton was stunned. This was the first sentence that Patrick had said to him since he entered the house.
Patrick looked at him seriously and said, "You've been working for me for more than ten years. You've been helping me all these years. Now that you're getting married, I should buy you a gift."
Huxton then said in a clear and opened mannered. "I'm willing to work for sir and I don't need any payback!"
Patrick said lightly, "For you, it is something that you don't need but for Dr. Jagger, it means that she wouldn't have a personal space to live in, are you sure you want to see her suffer?"
For a moment, Huxton was in a lost for words.
Amelia and Owen looked at each other. What Patrick said was harsh but it was also the truth.
Amelia began to reflect on her own action, was it a right choice to insist on wanting Huxton back.
Because while she was eager to keep Huxton by her side, she was neglecting Scarlett's feelings.
Her thoughts and way of doing things seemed to be...selfish.
If Huxton was allowed to stay on the Land of Fragrance, he would definitely be glad to do so. But what about Scarlett? Would she be willing to seek shelter under someone else's roof?
Even if the Land of Fragrance was huge that if they purposely avoided each other, it was possible for them to not meet each other for the whole day.
So what?
This was still Patrick's house after all.
What rights did Amelia had for her to request for Scarlett to stay back and be a maid in the Land of Fragrance?
Amelia bit her lips to show she was unhappy with the suggestion provided.
Seeing that something wrong with her. Huxton and Scarlett knew that she was unsatisfied with Patrick's suggestion.
But from Owen's point of view, he knew that she had
come to her senses.
While smiling, Owen continued on, "That's right, Huxton. You've been by my brother's side for so long. It's just a house, it totally a suitable gift for you."
Although Scarlett did not say anything, her eyes were shining brightly. They were all human, how could anyone turn down such an offer?
Even Amelia could not help but advise Huxton, "You should just agree and accept this gift."
Patrick was overjoyed when he heard what Amelia said.
Sure enough, everything was as Owen had promised. As long Patrick mentioned that Huxton and Scarlett were getting married, he could then reasonably arrange a place for Huxton and Scarlett to stay. According to Amelia's personality, she would not ignore Scarlett's feeling at all.
