The maid went out of the room timidly. While she was closing the door, she saw Hobart who was standing in the corridor. She said softly, "Young master."
Hobart turned around and said, "When I went upstairs just now, I seemed to have heard that Maryanne broke something again."
The maid said truthfully, "After she is grounded, she always smashes things. We have gotten used to it, but being too angry is bad for her health. You'd better persuade her."
Hobart smiled and said with understanding, "Alright, I'll go in and have a look. You can leave now."
After the maid left, Hobart opened the door. Maryanne yelled without looking back, "You're so annoying! I said that you're not allowed to disturb me before the dessert is ready!"
"It's me." Hobart said blandly.
"Hobart!" As soon as Maryanne heard Hobart's voice, she immediately smiled happily.
She got up from bed, pulled Hobart's sleeve and asked, "How's it? Is she here?"
Hobart shook his head.
Maryanne said with angry eyes, "Didn't you say that she would definitely come today?"
Hobart sighed and thought of Patrick's gloomy face, "She can't even go out."
"Liar!" Maryanne did not believe what he said, "Obviously, she hates me for humiliating her at the banquet. So she must be very happy when she knows that I'm grounded."
Hobart joked, "You think so because you're narrowminded. She's not like you. She might have forgotten about this a long time ago."
"Hobart! Tell me, what should I do now?" Maryanne said in frustration. Was she really going to stay at home for four months?
Originally, Hobart wanted to invite Amelia to his home and let Maryanne apologize to her in front of his parents. His parents would definitely forgive Maryanne because of her sincerity. Unfortunately, Patrick didn't allow Amelia to go out.
"You have to bear the consequences yourself. Continue to stay at home." Hobart said.
"Hobart!" Maryanne punched the bed sadly, "I haven't seen Patrick for so long. I'm worried that... he will be seduced by other women!"
Hobart put on a cold face, "Don't mention and see him anymore. Just regard him as someone you've never met in your life!"
Maryanne felt wronged, "Why?"
"Because I am your elder brother! I know your strength well. Patrick is a man you can never control."
In the past, Hobart wanted to pair Maryanne off with Patrick indeed. But Maryanne had offended Patrick's most beloved woman, so Patrick might want to take avenge on Maryanne in his heart.
It would be better if Maryanne couldn't go to find Patrick. If she still pestered him, Patrick would definitely give her a lesson.
In the evening, in the Land of Fragrance.
"Patrick, are you still on your way?"
Cynthia's soft voice was mixed with the shouts of the audience on TV. Patrick thought that the sound of the TV was too noisy, so he simply picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
Seeing this, Amelia, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, slightly raised her eyebrows. After he put down the remote control, she quickly took it over and turned on the TV again.
"Cynthia, I..." When Patrick heard the noise again, he glared at Amelia unhappily.
Amelia blinked at him innocently.
"In order not to disturb you, I have already turned off the sound. Why are you still staring at me like this? Can't you let me see the TV series quietly?" Amelia thought in her heart.
