Amelia glared at him with her large eyes and shouted, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Think about it carefully," Patrick said as he curled his thumb and middle finger at her.
Amelia was scared. She took a couple of steps back and put down one of her hands from her forehead to stop Patrick from approaching her. "Show some mercy. Let me think about it."
After a while, she asked hesitantly, "Did I talk to you just now?"
Patrick replied steadfastly, "Yes, you did!"
"But I can't remember no matter how hard I tried.
You know, I love to talk nonsense when I'm halfasleep!" Amelia found an excuse for her 'momentary amnesia'.
Patrick challenged her in a dangerous tone, "Nonsense?"
It turned out that the word 'darling' was just gibberish? Was this woman deliberately trying to make him die of anger?
Seeing that a shadow loomed over his face, Amelia felt alarmed and asked, "Why don't you remind me?"
Remind? How should he remind her? Tell her directly that she had called him 'darling'just now?
D*mn it! Patrick could not say something so cringing and disgusting!
"Hm? Why aren't you saying anything? What's wrong?"
Noticing that his face was becoming sourer, Amelia wondered if she had scolded him in her dreams.
At this, she regretted at once, "Mr. Hopper, no matter what I told you, you should never take it seriously because I never meant them. Do you understand?"
"Did you hear what she said? She said she didn't mean them!" The devil from the bottom of Patrick's heart burst out and laughed at him.
"I get it," said Patrick, his voice strained. Patrick turned his stiff body and walked to the bathroom.
"As long as you get it." Amelia saw that he did not intend to bicker with her, so she let out a long sigh of relief.
When she came back to her senses, a loud noise sounded from the bathroom. Amelia yelled out in nervousness, "What's wrong with you?"
There was no response.
Amelia thought that he had not heard her, so she climbed out of bed, put on her slippers, and walked to the bathroom door. She knocked on the door and called out, "Pat..."
Before she could finish, the door of the toilet cracked open, the tall figure of Patrick coming out of it. He glanced at her and told her coldly, "Go to sleep."
"Oh! Okay!" Amelia was slightly scared by the edge in his gaze. She responded to him in fear, walked back in her slippers, and went to bed.
After making sure she was gone, Patrick immediately turned and closed the bathroom door.
On the bed, Amelia watched Patrick, who had a displeased look on his face. She asked in curiosity, "What on earth did I say to upset you? Just tell me."
Patrick reached out and turned off the bedside lamp.
Darkness shrouded the entire room...
Amelia stared at where Patrick was in silence and muttered, "You're so irritable.."
With that, she crawled under the warm blankets.
At first, Amelia was slightly bothered about this. But after a while, she could not resist the drowsiness and fell asleep.
Listening to her even breathing, Patrick got even more furious. Why was it so difficult to hear a good word from her?
In the middle of the night.
