Patrick roared, "I feel responsible for Sissi. Are you satisfied with this?"
Amelia was stunned for a moment and then smiled. "Responsibility? How dare you talk about responsibility..."
Her smile gave Patrick the creeps, but he was still angry.
Others might not understand the relationship between Sissi and him, but he would not allow anyone to laugh at it. "What's so funny?"
Amelia said, "I'm amused by you. If all the men in this world fawn over their ex-girlfriends and say they should be responsible for them like you, it will be a mess. Oh, but not necessarily. Not all men are like Mr. Patrick, who is a Casanova who takes care of his wife and ex-girlfriend at the same time. Well, it's almost time. Hello Casanova. Goodbye, Casanova."
Patrick reached out and pinched her chin. He said in a violent tone, "I'm telling you, it's not that men don't want to take care of their wives and lovers at the same time. It's just that they don't let their wives know. Do you understand?"
Amelia said with a mocking look in her eyes, "You mean that I have to thank you for telling the truth?"
Patrick uttered between his teeth, "At least I didn't lie to you! And I've never done anything to hurt you!"
Amelia was taken aback.
Patrick shook her off in the next second and said in a cold voice, "Sissi has just returned to Northville, and is in poor condition in all aspects. She only trusts me. And so we've met a few times. As for how I feel about her, to sum it up, she's both my teacher and my friend. Am I clear enough?"
Amelia rubbed her chin with the back of her hand. It seemed like Patrick wanted to peel it off.
And after hearing what he said 'both my teacher and my friend', she just wanted to cry 'Pooh!'.
With that, she said without batting an eyelid, "Both your teacher and your friend. It's just a reasonable excuse for arranging an affair!"
A chill ran down Patrick's spine.
Amelia knew that she had completely pissed him off!
Patrick stared at her like a wolf and repeated in a low voice. "What did you just say... An affair? Huh? I had a love affair with Sissi?"
Amelia wanted to laugh when she heard his tone of voice, as if he had been wronged.
She suppressed her sadness and pretended to be indifferent. "Alright, you're adults. You bought her a house and she always chooses to date you at night. What's her purpose? I don't need to tell you directly, do I?"
Patrick said ferociously, "It turns out that I'm not worthy of trust!"
Amelia's heart skipped a beat. For a moment, she was even reflecting on herself. Was she being too mean to him?
However, who would be able to tolerate blindly in marriage?
"I've trusted you so many times, but you waste it every time. If that's the case, don't blame me for being petty."
Disappointment flashed across Patrick's eyes. In the blink of an eye, he regained his composure and said, "It seems that we don't have anything else to say. Get out of the way!"
Amelia suddenly raised her hand and put it on his shoulder. Under his slightly startled gaze, she stood on her tiptoes, put her lips to his ear, and whispered, "You want me to trust you, but what you are going to do is to fall into the arms of another woman. Patrick, you are always so selfless to her, but so selfish to me. Have you ever thought about the reason?"
"Why?"
"Because you love her." "I don't!"
"Is it so difficult to admit that you love her? I can see it."
Patrick could not see Amelia's face clearly, but he could hear the disdain in her voice.
His heart thumped, and the words he said were harsh and hurtful. "Since you can see it, then please play a good role at present to cover for me and Sissi!"
