Chapter 1566

"Okay." Although he had no appetite, Patrick still ate all the food she picked for him.

After lunch, Amelia gently held the hand of Patrick, who was preparing to clean up the table. She said considerately, "Let me do the cleaning today. You can have a rest."

"Never mind." Patrick insisted on collecting the plate, but Amelia pulled his hand away more forcefully and said, "Just do as I say, or you are not allowed to touch me tonight."

Amelia did not dare to look into his eyes at all as she was saying such words. Instead, she lowered her head and acted to be cleaning the table.

Patrick was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he had already embraced Amelia in his arms.

Amelia did not push him away. Instead, she comforted him with her warmth and heartbeat.

After a long time, Patrick said with some annoyance, "Amy, no one can ever separate us from each other."

Amelia knew why he was so upset, so she patted him on the back and agreed, "That's right, no one could do so."

Patrick uttered word by word as if he were making a vow, or reminding himself, "I will protect you no matter what."

Amelia smiled. "Okay, I'll take the promise."

Thinking of the ambush in the dark, Patrick could not wait to declare, "I really want to build you an iron house and hide you in it so that you won't be attacked by the outside world."

Amelia could not help laughing and said, "Are you trying to imprison me? I don't think that's a good idea. I'm a grown-up and I long for freedom. You don't have to bother that much about me."

Patrick looked at her, not knowing how to react. He purely wanted to treat her better, yet she refused his kindness in a joking manner. Which he could not be angry, because she had said so just to lighten his burden.

In the afternoon, when Patrick went to work, Amelia was home alone texting with Milton.

She thanked him for his hard work during the period of time, but the progress of the advertisements for the Apex Construction Corporation would have to pause for the time being. As soon as the text message was sent, Milton was so shocked that he immediately made a phone call to ask her what had happened.

Amelia could not think of a valid answer. If she kept it from him, she would feel sorry as a friend. But if she told him, he would definitely be worried about her. After thinking for a while, she said euphemistically, "Don't worry, Apex has just encountered some minor problems recently. I'll get back to you about the advertising after I've finished dealing with them!"

"Amelia..."

Amelia completely did not give him the chance to ask in details. "Oh! By the way, how are you doing in England recently? Did you take good care of yourself?"
