Owen smiled upon hearing Patrick and said, "I didn't mean to make fun of you. It's just that you're so different when you're in public and when in front of Amelia. You look silly and wimpy."

Silly and wimpy?

That did not make sense with Patrick at all.

So, Patrick asked incredulously, "Are you serious?"

Owen could not help but smirk at Patrick's puzzled look and replied, "It's true!"

Patrick then asked with frustration, "But, why don't I feel the same way about this?"

Owen found Patrick hilarious in confusion, so he said, "That's because you love Amelia so much that you think all the forbearance and dedication are what you should do. Do you get what I mean now?"

"I get you. But, I don't care even if my dedication looks silly and wimpy to others. I just want to cherish Amelia," answered Patrick.

Patrick and Owen then went back to the dining room and found Amelia sitting in a daze at her

seat.

She snapped back to reality when she heard footsteps from behind her. After that, she put on a smile and asked, "Patrick, have you applied medication on Owen's hands?"

"Yes," replied Patrick somewhat uneasily.

Owen then rubbed his stomach. He nearly got an internal injury after Patrick's punch.

"Then come on and eat," urged Amelia. "The food is getting cold," continued Amelia with an upset look.


"All right," agreed both Patrick and Owen.

Both of them behaved well for the rest of the lunch.

Amelia also took the opportunity to make a toast to Patrick and Owen with her bowl of soup.
