Amelia thought that her "disobedient" had provoked Patrick when she saw him suddenly become angry. So she could not help feeling a little nervous.
Patrick who helped Amelia wear the straw sandals suddenly raised his eyes and asked seriously, "If I say I feel regret and want to take you home immediately, will you be angry?"
Amelia's face was full of tears when she heard it. Patrick was really angry and did not even want to bring her along to climb the mountain.
Patrick thought that she was determined to climb the mountain when he saw her disappointed face. He sighed softly and said, "Let's go."
"Where are we going?" Amelia grabbed his clothes and looked at him eagerly.
Patrick spat out three words, "Climb the mountain."
Amelia cast a puzzled glance at him. "Didn't you say we're going home?"
During half of the hike, Amelia started to pant. She seldom took exercises after all.
Patrick noticed there was no movement behind him after a while and could not help to turn his head and look at her, "Can you hold on?"
Amelia who lied her head on the side of the walking stick tiredly raised her head and said, "Yes, I can."
"Let's go." After a short glance, Patrick continued to walk.
20 minutes later--
Patrick stopped again and looked at the pale and panting woman behind him. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly and he asked, "Are you sure you can continue?"
Amelia's face was full of pity. She was exhausted and her face said it all.
Patrick put the luggage on the ground for the time being when he saw her situation. Then he reached out to her and said briefly, "Give it to me."
Amelia immediately tightened her grip on her walking stick and said, "You've agreed to let me use the walking stick!"
Patrick folded his arms around his chest and looked at her with his chin slightly raised. "I just wanted to help you carry your backpack, but I didn't expect to see your selfishness with what you have just said. You'd better carry it yourself."
After Patrick finished his words and left Amelia stunned, he picked up the luggage on the ground
again and left without looking back.
"Alas... Mr. Patrick, wait for me!" After being stunned for two seconds, Amelia hurried to catch up with him.
When it was nearly two o'clock, both of them finally saw a resting area. Amelia quickly found an empty seat to rest and then pulled down the backpack behind her and put it on a square table.
When Amelia unzipped the zipper to find lunch, she suddenly felt itchy in the nose. So she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with one hand and sneezed.
Patrick's eyes were filled with emotion when he saw this. He turned over his hand and took out a white coat from the luggage. He shoved it into her arms and said in a business-like tone, "Put it on and don't make my child catch a cold!"
'Don't make his child catch a cold! His child!'
The only thing left in Amelia's mind was the word "child". They did not have anything yet this man kept on talking about baby and child. How did she have to react?
She did not expect that she would get annoyed with small things like this. After taking over the coat, she asked with her eyes down, "If I'm not pregnant,
