Chapter 1529

At the sight of this, Amelia sighed before she asked, "Mr. Hopper, since when you're here?"

Patrick grunted secretly, "Sure enough it's because of this perverted dog that Amy didn't even notice when I've come!"

Having that in mind, Patrick could not help glaring at Rick viciously. Hiding its tail between its back limbs restlessly, Rick began howling at Amelia pitifully.

Noticing Patrick's darkened expression, Amelia thought that it would be best not to trigger him more. Hence, instead of reaching out to Rick, she reminded him, "Mr. Hopper, it seems like Rick isn't feeling comfortable."

"That's because it has eaten too much. It'll probably take it some time for the food to digest." Patrick even reached out his hand to poke Rick's abdomen as he said. He began teasing Rick, "Look!

I bet it's overweight!"

"Woof! Woof!" Seemingly understood Patrick's mockery, Rick began barking in protest.

"Mm?" As soon as Patrick shot him with a threatening stare, Rick immediately stopped barking.

Amelia took the chance and said, "Um... There is only half an hour left to the time Jessica and I had agreed to meet. Mr. Hopper, I guess it's time to leave."

It was only then Patrick withdrew his gaze from Rick. He flashed a smile at Amelia as he agreed, "Yeah, I'm leaving now."

Amelia did not think twice when she reached out her hands to carry Rick. "Pass Rick to me. I'll put it into the cage."

"It's okay. I'll do it." Smiling still, Patrick dodged away her hands. He would never let that perverted dog had any chance to come near her again.

"Well..."

Amelia could not help but pity Rick which had been carried by Patrick ruthlessly in his hands. She comforted it gently, "I promise that I'll be back and fetch you home in a couple of days time."


Just as Rick was about to stick out its tongue and lick Amelia again, Patrick threw another glance at Rick at this moment. Understanding the threats in his stare, Rick had no other choice but to keep its mouth shut. Instead, it began howling pitifully in gesture of responding to Amelia.

Patrick had been rather impatient when he stuffed Rick into the cage. In the next second, he slammed the door of the cage shut ruthlessly. Carrying the cage, he turned around and said, "Amy, it's time for me to go."

"Wait a minute." Amelia picked up the paper bag on the coffee table and handed it over to him. "Bring this along too."

Patrick asked casually, "What's this?"

"They are some dog food and Rick's favorite toys." Certainly, Amelia had gotten everything prepared so that there was no need to burden Jessica further more.

Patrick nodded understanding^ as he carried the paper bag with his empty hand. "Is there anything else?"

"There isn't." Shaking her head, Amelia muttered, "Be careful."

Patrick came forward and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. He murmured softly, "Don't overthink when you're alone. I'll be back soon."

"I know. We're departing to Japan tomorrow. I need to pack my luggage." What she meant impliedly was that she would keep herself engaged so that there was no time for her to overthink.

Upon hearing that, Patrick flashed at her with a relieving smile. Thinking of returning home as soon as possible, he departed from the house with the cage and a bulky paper bag in his hands.

As soon as Amelia returned to her room to pack luggage for the trip, she came to realize that there were two problems.

Firstly, after their divorce, she took away most of her clothes from Land of Fragrance. Those clothes which remained in the wardrobe were those unable to fit into her luggage when she first left the place. Therefore, she was in desperate need of replenishing her clothes for the upcoming trip.

she could not recall that she had ever applied for visa to Japan. However, on a second thought, she was confident that Patrick had already settled it for her when he invited her to the trip. There was no need for


to gather sufficient clothes for the trip. Amelia thought of buying new clothes at this moment. However, she changed her mind as soon as she realized that she would not have time to wash and put them to dry prior to the trip. At last,
