Chapter 664

"You're back?" Patrick, who was waiting for the return of his prey behind the door, glared at Amelia's nervous side profile and greeted her with a jumble of joy and anger.

Amelia turned her stiff neck toward Patrick and gave him a greeting out of guilt. "Hi... you are still not asleep yet?"

Patrick leaned against the door frame and looked down at her. "I can't sleep when you aren't home."

"Oh! I'm so touched!" Amelia pretended to wipe tears away from the corners of her eyes. How she hoped she could squeeze out some drops of tears to better suit the situation right now!

Scanning at her neat clothes and radiant face, Patrick ruled out the possibility that she was bullied or taken advantage of outside. Then he asked coldly, "Don't be moved yet. Where have you gone so late at night?"

Amelia answered casually, "Nothing much. I just went to the hospital."

Patrick stepped forward, snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her towards him. He brushed her face with his cold breath and said, "You're still lying

to me?"

"I'm not lying to you." Amelia added frantically, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Huxton."

"Why should I ask him about you?"

"Didn't he install a listening bug on me?"

"He's already asleep. And he doesn't care about what happened to you at all!"

She had been mentioning Huxton more and more in front of Patrick recently, so often that he was feeling vaguely unpleasant about it.
