It was tactless of Amelia to chat with Patrick during their nap time, which was something she would never have done in the past.

"Mrs. Hopper, I'm glad to have talked to you." What Patrick said proved that Amelia had overthought.

"Really? Don't wear yourself out," replied Amelia. She was not clingy. In fact, she was self-reliant and never took advantage of others' pamper for her to get what she needed. That was the reason Amelia kept trying to understand Patrick's true feelings.

"Yes. I have so much to tell you. A lifetime isn't long enough for me to express everything to you." Patrick lowered his head and kissed her on her forehead after that.

Amelia shut her eyes to enjoy the peck when she saw him lean forward to her.

Then, she fluttered open her eyes and looked into Patrick's, which were filled with tender affection.

Amelia breathed in gently. She was amazed that Patrick would look at her this way at last. She had always dreamed about him ever since they divorced. But in her dreams, he always shot daggers at her. Then, he would turn back to look at

Sissi with gentleness in his eyes.

Amelia's heart was racing, and she turned scarlet with embarrassment under Patrick's watchful gaze. Suddenly, she had an urge to bury her face in Patrick's chest.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring so dreamily at me?" Patrick asked in a chipper voice when he saw Amelia zoned out while looking at him.

"It's nothing..." Amelia blushed and looked away.

"I see, Mrs. Hopper. You're fascinated with my handsomeness, aren't you?" Patrick chirped.

Amelia blurted out, "It's because you're too charming!"

Patrick smiled a little wider and looked at her soulfully. "Well, Mrs. Hopper looks stunning as well. You're a classic beauty with a killer body. My eyes are stuck on you," replied Patrick.
