Amelia selected a few moon cakes with lighter flavors on the shelf and put them in the shopping cart one by one.
Although Roxxon distributed moon cakes to the staff this morning, she thought it was too greasy and gave it to her colleagues.
Jessica stood behind her and asked, 'Are you going home in this Mid-Autumn Festival?"
In the past Mid-Autumn Festivals, Amelia never went home, so did Jessica.
They were like homeless people. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, they set two lotus shaped candles in the window facing the moon. When the candles burned out, their Mid-Autumn Festival was over.
Sometimes, Jessica was envious of Amelia, because her family was in Northville, but Amelia was so dismissive of it.
Jessica's question made Amelia hesitant. When she thought of her father's weakened body, she was a little worried.
Seeing that she was hesitant, Jessica suggested, "Go home with your husband happily. Let them know that you are living a happy life now."
Amelia smiled bitterly. Her life was not happy at all.
Marriage was like this. No one really knew if you were living a happy life except yourself.
In the Land of Fragrance.
Amelia went up to the second floor. Seeing that the light in the study was still on, she hesitated for a while and decided to walk in.
She raised her hand, knocked on the door and asked politely, "Mr. Hopper, may I come in?"
After a while, just as Amelia was about to leave, Patrick's cold voice finally sounded, "What's the matter?"
His attitude was so cold that she suddenly didn't know what to say next.
Seeing that there was no sound outside the door, Patrick put down the document and looked at the door. He was waiting for her to admit defeat to him.
Looking at the moon cake box next to her feet, Amelia said, "Mr. Hopper, can you accompany me home the night after tomorrow?"
Patrick probably would never know how much courage Amelia had gathered when she said that.
It meant that she was willing to let Patrick know her past in The Ramsay Family, including those painful memories that she did not want to face.
However, Patrick refused her, "The day after tomorrow, I need to attend Andrew and Ashley's birthday banquet."
Amelia didn't want to give up, "It will only take a while, we can leave after sending the moon cake to them."
Patrick was still angry with her because of what happened that night, so he didn't want to accompany her back home. What's more, what she asked him to do was all about someone else's business.
Amelia lowered her head in disappointment and said in her heart, "Give up, at least I've tried my best."
Not long after she returned to her bedroom, Patrick opened the door of the study. Looking at the empty corridor, his face darkened, because he thought that Amelia didn't ask for his forgiveness sincerely.
The next morning, the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.
While Amelia was sitting cross-legged in front of the TV for breakfast, she caught a glimpse of Patrick coming downstairs while wearing a tie. Then they looked at each other, but he was still indifferent.
"Would you like to eat fried buns?" Amelia asked.
"No. I'm going to take Paisley to pick out a dress now."
As soon as Patrick finished his words, the bun in Amelia's hand fell to the ground.
