"You don't need to tell me. I know that!"
Facing Amelia, Patrick raised his hand angrily but did not ring the doorbell. Instead, he unexpectedly covered her red lips and rubbed them hard.
Not long ago, the corners of their lips were rubbed raw by each other's bites. Amelia's wound had finally healed a little. But after Patrick's action, blood started oozing out of the wounds again.
She gasped in pain. "Sh*t, Patrick! You..."
It hurt so much that she could not even speak!
She caught a glimpse that Patrick had not put his hand down yet, so she quickly swat his hand away to avoid another sneak attack!
Patrick looked at his hand and glanced at the drops of blood on his fingertip. He then asked Amelia in a deep voice, "Does it hurt?"
"Aren't you asking nonsense! Of course, it hurts!" Amelia stared at him angrily. She spoke intermittently because every time she opened her mouth, the tear on her lips would come apart.
She was furious, but she had to take out a tissue and put it by her lips to stop the bleeding.
"It's good if it hurts." Patrick looked away nonchalantly. He raised his hand and rang the doorbell when Amelia was unprepared.
"Hey!" Amelia shouted angrily. She did not want to be in such a mess in front of her rival in love!
But Patrick did not care. He pressed on the doorbell three times as if he was afraid that the people in the house could not hear him.
Amelia hurriedly took the tissue away from her mouth. She took out a concealer and a small mirror, and began to spread it on her lips with her back facing the door.
Patrick noticed Amelia's movement and commented unceremoniously, "Wretched."
Amelia was busy putting on the makeup and had no time to pay attention to his provocation at all.
Right at this moment, the door opened.
Amelia's mind trembled. She only had a little time to look into the mirror before putting them away. With her sneaky appearance, she really did look wretched.
"Patrick..." The person who opened the door was Sissi.
Upon hearing the sound, Amelia turned around and stood beside Patrick calmly, eyeing Sissi from her head to toes.
She was wearing a knee-length nightgown, and her figure was a little plumper since the last time they met. As for her face... she looked plain without her makeup.
Amelia spited her out of jealousy.
Before Patrick had the chance to talk to Sissi, he heard an extremely displeased voice coming from the room. "Humph!"
He raised his head and looked over Sissi's head. He saw Howard, who was sitting on the sofa and glaring at him.
Patrick gave him a rebellious look.
Anyway, the matter had been exposed. There was nothing left for him to hide.
Seeing this, Howard opened his eyes wide. It was fine that Patrick came to visit him for Sissi's sake, but how dared he put on such a fierce look towards him?
At this time, Howard almost stood up to slap Patrick and shoo him off!
Why did he never learn his lesson? Did he forget how Sissi hurt him in the past?
At this moment, Patrick lowered his eyes and looked at Sissi. He asked concernedly, "Did my dad... did he embarrass you?"
Sissi shook her head meekly. Although she did not say a word, her pitiful look made even Amelia unable to bear it anymore.
If she had not known Sissi's character well, Amelia would have thought that Howard was the old b*stard who came to make trouble in a weak woman's house!
"Don't worry. I'll handle it."
Patrick's husky voice was like the voice of a thousand angels. Sissi could not help nodding.
Amelia could not help but express her disdain with a click of her tongue.
