Chapter 613

He could not help but satirize her for her lack of passion. "You don't seem to be surprised by my return at all."

Amelia was quiet at first, and then she said, "I'm surprised actually, very surprised."

Patrick felt she was simply insulting the word with her outrageously bland and peaceful tone.

He snorted and said, "Don't try to hide it. I don't think you even care about my safety during the trip!"

This accusation stirred up something in Amelia. He had just left Northville for just one day when she got so worried that she lost sleep at night. If she did not care about him, why would she go to the village and find him on her own initiative? And would she have witnessed such a scene that scarred her for life?

If she could, she rather hoped that she did not care so much about him. Maybe she could have avoided the attack as well.

"Why aren't you explaining yourself?" Patrick's face darkened.

Confusion filled Amelia's gaze. "What do you want me to explain?" "Explain that you were actually worried to death about me!" wished Patrick. Although the voice in his heart was screaming hysterically, Patrick only replied coldly, "Nothing. Go to sleep. I'll go back to the master bedroom." "Alright." Amelia did not try to make him stay.

She was so drained that she did not have the energy to figure out what was Patrick indicating.

After all, she saw herself as just someone to warm the bed for Patrick. And whether he wanted to linger or leave, it was not up to her decision. In actuality, she was dead wrong.

He was waiting for her to persuade him to stay after he said he was returning to the master bedroom.

Unfortunately, the only thing he had ended up waiting for was the soft snores of Amelia...

Only he had caught himself in the trap, Patrick could only give up and retreat to his room. It was hard for him to fall asleep alone that night.
