Amelia rubbed her nose which had already turned red due to the hitting. She grumbled, "Even if you are really envy of my pointed nose, you don't have to always pull me into your arms without any warnings beforehand!"
Patrick snorted in reply, "I won't even like your snub nose, let alone envy of it."
Even with that said, Patrick could not help but raise his hand to pinch Amelia's delicate nose softly.
"Oh, I'm a snub-nosed? Then your nose is bulbous!" Amelia refused to admit defeat.
Bulbous?
Patrick thought that there must be something wrong with Amelia's eyes, which explained why she could regard his pointed nose as bulbous.
"I know the two of you are sweet, but can't you two be a little considerate of other's feeling?"
Just as Amelia and Patrick were engaging in their argument, Kaiden spoke blatantly from afar.
Amelia eyed sideways and saw that Kaiden had replaced his lividly colorful suit into white tracksuit. He looked so much better now with the current attire. In fact, Kaiden looked exactly just like any
other youthful and handsome young adults.
However, Kaiden's face was painted with sarcasm which made Amelia confused. She had not offended him before. In fact, it was their very first time of meeting each other. She wonder why would he seem to be holding grudge against her.
Patrick glanced at Kaiden and said angrily, "Since you're just a passer-by, why would I bother to care about your feeling?"
Kaiden laughed insidiously and said, "You're right.
Mr. Patrick has always been like this. As long as he's having a female companion by his side, he will not bother any of us."
Patrick's eyes darkened. He pursed his lips without saying anything.
Although Amelia could not understand what had they been talking about. After all Patrick was her husband, she must pretend as if she knew him well.
Raising her hand, she wrapped it around his sturdy waist and snuggled him, "Dear, we've been talking for this long. Don't you think it's time for you to teach me something useful? Do you agree?"
Patrick was enlightened by her calling him 'dear'. Although he knew that she must have done so for the purpose to put on an act in front of Kaiden, Patrick's could not help feeling triumphed.
He lowered his head and planted a kiss on the spot between Amelia's eyebrows. Patrick turned around and said to Kaiden with a poker face, "Mr. Wright, please."
Kaiden tightened his grip on the cue, "Since it's a competition, there should be a reward system. What do you think, Mr. Patrick?"
Patrick did not care much and replied, "There's no need to discuss of this unless you win."
Kaiden was angered by his tone. "Are you looking down at me?"
Patrick said bluntly, "So what if I look down at you? Let's stick to what I've just said, you need not mention of reward unless you win."
Kaiden raised his chin, "Then what if I win?"
Patrick said generously, "You can ask for anything."
Half-joking, Kaiden asked, "Oh? What if I want a kiss from Mrs. Hopper as a reward?"
Patrick had already begun his preparation. Upon hearing his words, Patrick could not help tilting his head. His eyes met with Kaiden's sternly.
Had he finally been provoked?
Just as Kaiden was excited at this thought, he heard Patrick saying, "What did you just call her?"
Kaiden subconsciously answered, "Mrs. Hopper."
