Amelia supported her temple with fingertips and asked casually, "What do you think the ending will be like?"
Patrick said with little interest, "I don't know."
After saying that, he held her hand and said, "Let's go to have a midnight snack."
Amelia said in surprise, "Don't you want to know the ending?"
Patrick said disdainfully, "I'm not here to watch the movie."
Seeing Patrick's impatient face, Amelia thought that he didn't like this kind of absurd movie.
However, Patrick was subconsciously avoiding the ending of the movie.
After the movie was over, those colleagues didn't see Amelia. They looked at each other with confusion and asked, "Hey, where is Madam Amelia Ramsay?"
One of them said in surprise, "Hobart is also not here!"
Doris smiled and said, "Don't you understand? Amelia and Hobart must have left and gone on a date."
"Oh!" Everyone smiled meaningfully.
Patrick took Amelia to the night market. The long street was full of food and drinks. Each stall was hung with a lantern. There were various slogans engraved on the lantern, and someone drew cartoon images for snacks, which made those snacks so appetizing.
Half an hour later.
Amelia carried a bowl of hot and sour rice noodles in her left hand, and there was a bag of chestnuts on her right hand. When she saw that Patrick was buying spicy duck neck, she asked in surprise, "Can you eat so much?"
Patrick said without looking back, "I didn't say that I'll eat them."
Hearing it, Amelia thought that Patrick must buy the spicy duck neck for her. She was ready for a good meal.
She found a square table nearby and sat down. Then she began to peel the fried chestnut. When she was about to eat it, Patrick came over, took the chestnut and ate it.
Amelia felt angry in heart. But since she had agreed to show him respect outside, she had to hold back her anger.
Thinking of this, she took out another one from the paper bag. She peeled the chestnut with her slender fingers, and this scene was pleasant to the eyes.
Patrick looked at her and suddenly became envious of those chestnuts. He wanted to be touched and caressed by Amelia like a chestnut.
Amelia raised her head. When she saw that Patrick was staring at these chestnuts with eager eyes, she handed over the peeled one to him.
Patrick naturally leaned forward and kept the chestnut in his mouth.
Amelia's face blushed, because Patrick also kept her fingers in his mouth. He licked her fingers softly, which made her body tremble.
"Yummy." Patrick smiled and said. Amelia didn't know whether he meant the chestnut or her finger.
At this moment, a surprised voice broke the ambiguous atmosphere, "Amelia! Mr. Hopper?"
Amelia turned her head reflexively. Then she saw Doris and her boyfriend.
Seeing this, Amelia felt that she wanted to cry. She really didn't want to meet them at this time.
Doris rubbed her eyes in disbelief. After finally confirming that the man sitting next to Amelia was Patrick, she asked, "Amelia, where is Hobart?"
