Having said that, Patrick knew in his heart that his grandpa was very healthy. He would last another eight to ten years. Amelia would be old then, and who would marry her?
Amelia's almond eyes glared at him. "F*ck! How dare you curse your elders to death for no reason? Do you still have any humanity left in you?!"
Patrick replied seriously, "Aren't you in a hurry for a divorce? I'm coming up with some ideas for you."
"Bah!" Amelia said, "I might be in a hurry, but unlike you, I don't have evil intentions! Although I am not close to grandpa, at least I respect him. I never thought of him dying!"
Looking at Amelia's righteous face, Patrick smiled and said, "As long as he doesn't die, we can't divorce."
Amelia suddenly became quiet and lied down on the sofa dejected.
After a while, she whined in a low voice, "Why did I marry you?"
On the Land of Fragrance.
Amelia looked at the familiar building in front of her. She thought that Patrick's idea might work. They could treat each other as roommates. Wasn't it the same?
After some mental preparation, Amelia opened the door and got out of the car. Patrick immediately unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car after seeing this.
"Wait a minute." He said to Amelia who had not gone far.
Amelia glanced back and asked, "What's wrong?"
Patrick pursed his lips and said seriously, "Since we are flatmates and this house is mine, are you going to pay the rent? And by the way, there will be living expenses, water, and electric bill in the future, we could split the bill, okay?"
"Is he for real now?" Amelia thought angrily.
Amelia said angrily. "Ha! Do you think I want to live here? I would rather live under the bridge than pay you rent!"
Patrick smiled insidiously. "Then dad will have to look under every bridge in the Northville and ask you to come back to the Land of Fragrance. By the way, why don't you prepare some extra bedding and pillows for him and let him sleep with you under the bridge?"
Amelia said gloomily, "Hey, don't glamorize that dad will become very miserable because of me, okay? I can imagine it!"
"Am I? I am just stating the truth, you can try it if you don't believe in me. Anyway, you are so heartless to me, not to mention my family." There was even a hint of grievance when he said the last words.
"You!" Amelia was in a towering rage and said angrily. There was no doubt that she was ruthless to Patrick, but it was because he broke her heart first!
Honestly speaking, she could not do so to Howard. That was why she followed Patrick back to the Land of Fragrance!
She raised her head stubbornly and emphasized, "I stand my ground, I came back not because of you but to make dad and Aunt Alice not worry about me. We will divorce when you deal with Sissi, and I will move out immediately!"
The sentence 'not because of you' made Patrick furious. "Okay! I don't care where you go! But... we're not divorced yet, right? Please continue the show with me and stop making our elders worry about us!"
Amelia said with an uncomfortable expression, "Of course I know that!"
Patrick added, "In addition, you keep emphasizing that you have no more feelings for me. Since that's the case, I have no reason to make unnecessary investments in you since it'll be a great loss for me. From this month onwards, you have to pay rent once a month. I won't support idlers who deny a connection to me!"
