Amelia looked puzzled. "What on earth do you plan to do?"
Leah narrowed her eyes. "Amelia, all I can say is if you can't help me to ask Shawn out, I can't guarantee what disgraceful means my family would use to put me on Patrick's bed."
"No matter how cautious Patrick is, it's impossible for him to not go out for the rest of his life. As long as he steps out of the house, the Dollar Family would have a way to get close to him. By the time... if I were to bear his child, how are you going to deal with it?"
Was there anyone who was kind in this family? Amelia felt a trace of despair from the bottom of her heart.
On the sofa, Patrick looked coldly at Leah who was chatting with Amelia, suppressing his anger. It was not as if she did not know that Leah had other intentions on him. Why is she chatting pleasantly with her!
He looked at her and wanted to give her a lecture, but he could not free himself from chatting with the elders. When Patrick turned around again, he saw that only Leah was sitting in the same spot. As for
Amelia... she had already disappeared.
Right at this moment, the hostess, whom Patrick was worried about was already at the inner circle of the mansion.
Seeing that there was no one around, Amelia sat down leisurely on the wicker chair beside the goldfish pond, she then took out her mobile phone and dialed Shawn's personal number.
Drip! Drip! Drip!
Amelia waited patiently while thinking about what she wanted to say, when she heard an uncertain "hello" from the other side of the phone, she knew that what she had been preparing had gone to waste.
After a while, Shawn calmed down his disordered breath and asked, "Are you... Amelia?"
It was as if a lifetime had passed...
When she heard Shawn's voice, this was the feeling that Amelia felt in her heart.
Seeing that she remained quiet, Shawn asked melancholy, "Amelia, are you listening? Or... did you called the wrong person?"
When Amelia came to her senses, she immediately said, "No, you are the one I wanted to call!"
Shawn did not ask Amelia what she wanted at the first moment. Instead, he said, "We haven't
contacted each other for months, have we?"
After letting out a low "hum" sound, Amelia felt embarrassed, "Shawn, I'm sorry to cause you trouble by accidentally taking your phone last time."
Regarding that matter, Shawn said in a deemphasized manner, "It's fine. That was way back then."
After that, he asked hesitantly, "I read the news yesterday and it said that you are Patrick's legal wife. I was shocked and wanted to call you to ask about it but I was afraid that it might trouble you, so I didn't call."
Amelia sighed softly, "It seems that our thoughts are surprisingly similar. I was also afraid of bringing you unnecessary trouble, so I've not contacted you after that matter."
"Then, you and Patrick... is that true?" Right now Shawn would still convince himself that this was just a dream.
