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.

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

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.
