Last night, Isaac saw clearly that Patricia was the one who took his clothes off, but she blamed it on Josephine instead. The man smiled coldly, then gave her a look. His dark eyes seemed to contain a hint of confusion.
“Last night, I think I saw you taking it off.”
As soon as he said those words, a blush tinted Patricia’s face.
She was panicking! Her large eyes shifted. “You had too much to drink, so you probably saw things. Mrs. Zimmers was the one who took off your clothes for you, and she even wiped your body clean. I’m a young woman, so I can’t do such things for you.”
Isaac cast a meaningful look at the girl who lied through her teeth. He suddenly pulled the blanket away and stood up.
The man’s perfect figure was exposed for all to see. Patricia’s eyes widened as she looked at the most prominent part of a man who had just woken up.
Her small mouth gaped in shock. Isn’t this exaggerating?
She hastily turned around. “Your clothes are washed and dried, so I’ll go get them. Wait here.”
Patricia jogged out of the bedroom and escaped to the balcony. Then, she retrieved his clothes which were hung out to dry, securing them in her arms.
She frowned when she looked at the clothes, wondering why they were all wrinkly. Suddenly, she remembered that his clothes were all handmade, and the fabric shouldn’t make contact with water. The clothes could only be dry-cleaned, and they couldn’t withstand the rough tumbling of a washing machine.
Patricia hastily glanced at the tags, and she proceeded to take a few steps backward in shock. All of those added up would cost hundreds of thousands, and she had ruined them. He would probably ask for compensation from her again.
Patricia closed her eyes. She felt that ever since she met Isaac, her money kept draining out of her wallet. God! I don’t want to spend my whole life making meals and cleaning up for him.
Patricia could only hide the clothes and go back to the bedroom with an awkward look on her face.
“Haha…”
“Where are my clothes?”
“Uh, haha… President Arnold, someone stole your clothes that were put out on the balcony last night.”
She felt that she was making up a perfectly believable story, but clothes really could go missing here. She was telling the truth, in a way.
“Maybe your clothes were too expensive.”
With that, she flashed another awkward smile. On the other hand, Isaac’s expression was dark.
“Did you ruin it in the washing machine?”
“Yea—no, no, of course not. I dry-cleaned it. I put them out on the balcony to get rid of the smell, but I never expected them to get stolen.”
Isaac already knew what she was getting at, but he was quite amused that she had gotten a little smarter. Did she think she wouldn’t have to compensate for it if she said it was stolen?
Patricia suddenly remembered something. “I’ll find some clothes for you. I have some men’s clothes. It’s from before—”
He definitely wouldn’t wear clothes someone had worn before, so she stopped talking.
She retrieved from her wardrobe a white high-collared shirt, a gray sweater, and a pair of khaki trousers.
“These are all new. You can wear them for the time being.”
She carefully placed the items onto the bed. Isaac looked at the clothes, realizing that it was all to her taste.
This girl loved warm colors. Who was she trying to dress up into a Korean heartthrob?
“Did you buy this for Zachary?”
He guessed it right off the bat, so Patricia nodded. “I knitted the sweater, and it took me a long time. The pants are bought, though.”
She just wanted to thank Zachary. She couldn’t afford anything else, so she decided to give him a sweater. Josephine had bought the pants and said that they matched the sweater nicely.
Hearing that, Isaac grabbed the clothes and put them on, then put on the pants as well. It was a decent fit. Since she hadn’t given out the sweater she knitted, she should give up on it because he would be making it his own.
Patricia had her back toward him, and when he was done changing, her eyes lit up.
