Patrick sighed. “No need to busy yourself. Come sit,”

Patrick sat upright on the sofa, his hands clasped on his knees. “Did you argue with Lillian again?

Stella asked flatly. “Are you here to blame me too?”

Hearing her cold tone, Patrick let out a sigh. “Did you break off the engagement with Ethan because of her?”
