Chapter 538

Amelia was used to Patrick's requests. She went back to her room, put on a coat, and gone downstairs. She then changed into a pair of comfortable cotton slippers by the shoe cabinet and waved Dr. Scarlett over for a walk.

Out of the house, Amelia, who had been ignoring Huxton that was like her shadow, chatted with Dr. Scarlett.

Dr. Scarlett looked at the towering and reliable figure of Huxton and said to Amelia, "I have never seen a man that protects his wife this well."

"Do you admire it?" In the chill, Amelia took a deep breath in and expanded her chest, sweeping away her previous frustrations.

Dr. Scarlett said seriously, "Before I met Mr. Patrick, I thought many women would envy a life like yours. But when I know him a little better, I realized that not every woman can handle his character." Amelia followed up and said, "You're talking about his incredible sense of self-importance, right?"

Dr. Scarlett shook her head. "Not entirely. I can see that he cares about you very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought about whether the shoes

would chafe your heel."

Amelia had to admit his attentiveness, "As you said, he's a perfect lover sometimes."

Dr. Scarlett was puzzled. "Lover? Why not a partner?"

Amelia only smiled faintly, as she still had yet to receive the confession from him.

At the same time, Patrick returned to his room and took out Amelia's mobile phone. He clicked on the unread text message.

The message was from Milton. It roughly entailed that the Smith family had not seen their daughter's return the whole day, so he called to ask if Maryanne was spending the night in The Cook family's house. He and Sierra rested early last night, so they did not notice Maryanne's whereabouts. After thinking for a while, Milton decided to call Amelia to ask if she had seen Maryanne before she left last night and whether she knew where Maryanne had gone.

After reading it, Patrick sent a message on Amelia's behalf, "I didn't see her."
