Patrick stayed silent. He wanted to hear how Amelia would explain, and if she said something he was not happy with, he would just kiss her here and let everyone knew she's his wife!
Amelia smiled at this passerby, "I'm not lying, he really is my husband, look..."
Remembering something, she used her other free hand to bring out the necklace hanging around her neck, a diamond ring the size of a dove's egg that stunned this passerby, "This is the wedding ring he gave me."
The faint happiness on Amelia's face was impressed, and this passerby fell silent.
Just when Amelia thought it was all right, she suddenly heard him say worriedly, "Since you're married, it's no reason for him to do this to you!"
Amelia gave a funny look at Patrick, who was frowning at the moment as if to ask, "You know what to do now."
Patrick didn't have good patience. He had been tolerant enough to put up with Amelia being accosted by a stranger, not realizing he was lecturing her. Patrick looked at that guy with a fierce face, "Dude, this is our family business, you'd better not interfere."
The passerby grunted, "It is the duty of a gentleman to defend the rights of a lady. That's the difference between me and a barbarian like you. I advise you to loose your wife or I'll call the police right now!"
This guy was getting in trouble, Patrick thought angrily.
Amelia was worried about the brave passerby because he didn't know that many Northville police officers knew Owen, which was indirectly the same as knowing Patrick, and calling the police would be useless.
At Patrick's silence, the passerby thought he had intimidated Patrick and said proudly, "You're scared?"
Not wanting to see this passerby get in trouble, Amelia said, "Sir, I actually tied him up..."
"What?" The passerby couldn't understand.
With Patrick and passersby watching, Amelia pretended to be shy, "He's so good-looking and rich, what about me? I don't have anything and it's a lot of pressure to be married to him, plus I don't feel comfortable he accosted by many women when he is out, so I use it to tie us up every time when we hang out, just to let everyone know how intimate we are."
The guy was not easy to be fooled, "Then why didn't you say that before?"
Amelia bit her lower lip and said softly, "What do you want me to say about this kind of thing. It's shameful..."
Shameful...
Amelia's words embarrassed Patrick.
Until Amelia and Patrick had walked away, the passerby was still standing, and a moment later he muttered excitedly to himself, "Well, it's a good idea to tie together. Should I go buy a pair to try at home with my girlfriend too..."
After walking away, the two of them fell into a fierce conversation.
"Patrick, where are you taking me?"
Probably due to the good performance of Amelia in dealing with that passerby, Patrick was finally willing to give the answer, "A business trip."
"What?" Amelia was stunned at first, then she frowned and said, "Didn't you come back from a business trip?"
Patrick sneered, this morning before he received the secretary's call at the airport, he was indeed ready to go on a business trip. He even stepped into the cabin, but the secretary's words, "Madam Amelia Ramsay invites someone to meet up", dragged his feet back.
When Amelia appeared in the restaurant with Brian, he had been waiting outside for a long time. He wanted to follow her to teach that guy who dared to ask his wife out a lesson, but when he thought that Amelia would be disgusted with what he did, he restrained himself.
