After saying that, Amelia could clearly feel Daniel's heavy breathing as he asked with difficulty, "You're not selling? Aren't you anxious to use the money to shoot the cemetery?"
Amelia said with certainty in her voice, "Patrick will help me."
When she said these words, she suddenly realized that in times of crisis, having someone to rely on turned out to be such a reassuring thing!
Daniel was resent, he barely kept his sanity and asked, "Do not you hate to owe people favors? When we used to go out to dinner and shopping with me, you had to share everything with me, what happened now? Where is your independence?"
Amelia said coldly, "Daniel, don't put yourself in the wrong position. Patrick's my husband, and you're nothing!"
After a moment, Daniel asked in an uncertain voice, "You've fallen in love with him... haven't you?"
Stunned for a few seconds, Amelia followed her heart and said, "At least I don't hate him."
Daniel suddenly let out sneers, which was as if he was mocking her, while laughing, he asked, "So are you sure...he loves you?"
Amelia frowned and said, "I can fight for it."
"Fight for it? Haha! So you're not confident at all? That's right. As far as I know, Patrick's ex-girlfriend has already divorced her husband abroad. Do you know what this means?"
Daniel's wicked laughter was like a vicious curse, causing her to feel so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe!
"Can't say anything else? Then why don't I say it for you? Divorce is a symbol of becoming single again. What if she can't stand the loneliness and wants to return to the arms of Patrick? Do you still have the absolute confidence that Patrick will fall in love with you? It will be lucky if he doesn't divorce you. Amelia, you're pathetic to have to suffer the fate of being abandoned by different men for the rest of your life!"
Afterward, Daniel hung up the call.
Amelia trembled and took the phone off her ear. She knew Daniel was saying these things on purpose to provoke her and make her feel bad, but she couldn't avoid getting caught up in it even though she knew it!
The phone call Patrick made that day, with his back to her, was actually someone talking to him about Sissi's divorce, right?
It has been so many years, but he still kept an eye on Sissi's latest news. Was it true, as Daniel said, that Patrick would divorce her for Sissi?
Amelia feels mixed emotions, she just felt that Patrick was someone she could rely on and now she was going to change her mind...
At night, at Land of Fragrance.
While eating, Amelia kept poking at the fish on her plate with her fork without purpose while thinking.
"Auntie Amelia!"
Just then, Ashley, who was sitting across from Amelia, nudged a plate in front of Amelia with her chubby finger, "I want some meat."
Amelia suddenly came back to her senses. "Oh, sure."
As she stood up to put the food into Ashley's bowl, she accidentally knocked over the wine glass that Patrie was holding next to her, and the red wine stained her sweater along the rim of the glass, but she didn't even know it.
Ashley looked at the food inside the bowl and frowned, "I don't want shrimp."
Amelia gave a distracted "oh" and everyone wondered if she was even listening to Ashley.
Patrick watched Amelia's perverse behavior as he squinted at Florence, who was drinking.
