Holding her purse, Amelia opened the door and went downstairs. She found that Patrick was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor. He was wearing a suit and tie and was also ready to go.
After just one glance, she averted her gaze.
She did not intend to talk to Patrick. In fact, they were no longer on speaking terms since the night she dumped trash on him.
Amelia did not care that they were not on speaking terms. It was even better for Amelia because the more indifferent Patrick was to her, the more sober she became.
Since Patrick was downstairs, she did not stay at home to have breakfast, in case they had to see each other.
Seeing Amelia going straight to the entrance without looking at him, Patrick, who had been pretending to be calm, could no longer sit still!
He stood up from the sofa, glanced at Amelia, who was all dressed up, and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you going?"
Amelia replied without looking back, "Business."
She refused to answer him at first, but if she did not answer him, Patrick would ask continuously. She did not want to make trouble for herself, so she gave a hint.
Patrick was a little more open-minded after hearing the word 'business'. But he felt something was wrong after thinking about it. "It's a weekend, which regular boss would ask a beautiful young woman out to talk about business? It's obvious that he has an ulterior motive!"
"Do you have to go today?" He put one hand in his pocket, and his fingers in the pocket were tightly clenched to hold back the impulse to pull her back. "You clearly know what day it is."
A deep sense of helplessness appeared on Amelia's brows. She turned around and explained, "I know today is Owen's birthday, but I have important business to attend to now. Don't worry, I will apologize to him later."
After a pause, she looked at his suit and asked, "You're ready so soon? It's eight o'clock in the morning now, isn't it too early?"
"Aren't birthday parties usually held at night? That's more atmospheric!" Amelia thought so.
Patrick's expression was a little weird. He retorted, "Of course, I won't go to Owen's house so early."
Amelia asked, "What's that?"
Patrick coughed and said, "I'm going to see Sissi."
Amelia thoughtfully said, "Oh, I almost forgot. You see her once a week."
"Well..." Patrick, who had always been overbearing, could not speak in a domineering tone at this time.
Amelia nodded and said with a straight face, "Go ahead. Remember to lock the door when you go out."
Patrick was stunned and his eyes stared deeply at Amelia as if he did not expect her to be so easygoing.
While Patrick was preoccupied with his thoughts, Amelia bent down and put on her shoes. Because of the baby in her belly, she was wearing shoes that were more for comfort.
Amelia stood up. Just as she was about to walk out of the door, she heard Patrick behind her. "Why don't I meet Sissi tomorrow?"
Amelia stopped and turned to look at him. She asked with some confusion, "Why change it tomorrow?"
Patrick said in a tone that he thought was understanding, "You should have nothing to do tomorrow, right? If you don't trust me and Sissi alone, you can come along." "No need." Under Patrick's sudden stiffened look, Amelia laughed and said, "I'm not interested in the affairs between you and Sissi. You can go yourself."
Moreover, Amelia did not think that Howard would let Patrick meet Sissi alone.
