Patrick heaved heavily. "I'm exaggerating because suspecting me is a serious humiliation to me!"
Humiliation?
"How can reading romance novels be considered as humiliation?"
As a woman, Amelia was more sensible. And it was because she read a lot of novels or watching quite a lot of TV series.
As a result, she felt angry when she heard Patrick saying that reading a romance novel was humiliation.
Weren't Romeo and Juliet a romance novel too?
Could it be that Patrick was not interested in well-known books like this too?
Hearing the discontent in Amelia's tone, Patrick immediately explained himself, "I mean, I am a man. Do you think it makes sense for a man to be interested in romantic novels?"
Amelia thought for a moment and found that what he said was reasonable. "So that's what you mean. Well, I've misunderstood you. I'm sorry."
Patrick's expression brightens up. He started the car and they left the Apex Construction Corporation together.
When they were on the road, Patrick heard his cellphone ringing.
As usual, he kept one of his hand on the steering wheel and search for his phone with the other hand.
"Be careful!" Amelia shouted to remind him, In this split second, a BMW was coming at them with full speed from behind.
Patrick raised his head and simultaneously placed both his hands on the steering wheel. He then turned away to avoid crashing into the BMW.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Amelia discovered that Patrick's phone had fallen to the ground.
He must have dropped it when she reminded him.
She turned to look at Patrick and asked, "Patrick, your phone is on the floor. Do you want me to pick it up for you?"
"Sure," Patrick said as he kept his eyes on the road.
After receiving Patrick's approval, Amelia bent down and picked up the cell phone that fell to the ground.
At this moment, Patrick said, "Take a look at my inbox. If it's anything about business read it out for me. If not, just tell me what it is when we reach
home."
Amelia was stunned for a moment. "You don't mind me reading your texts? Don't you have any secret hidden in your phone?"
"If I ask you to look at it, then you do as I say without worrying that much," Patrick answered with his eyes still on the road.
After a pause, he continued, "Besides, classified information is relativity. For me, it may be classified information. For you, it's just a text message. Feel free to read it."
Each and every word shows how much he believed her.
Amelia bit her lower lip gently and said, "Give me a minute, let me have a look."
"Sure," Patrick replied.
Amelia lowered her head and read the text message. She found it was sent by Florence. It seemed that this should be categorized as not related to work.
Amelia opened her mouth and was about to report it to Patrick.
But what was written in Florence's text message was too shocking that it attracted Amelia's attention and she forgot to report to Patrick what the text was about.
"Patrick, have you read the book 'The Domineering CEO and His Beauty Who Made Everyone Lose Their Senses' I showed you a few days ago?
This is the best-selling novel on XX website. It's the best novel on how the main character spoilt his wife!
As long as you practice it on Amelia according to what is said in the novel, I can promise that she would always be by your side and do as you say! You and your love would never be separated again!"
After reading the text, the phone which had just picked up from the floor fell back onto the ground again.
