When Amelia heard his disappointed tone, a thought of Patrick saying, "Don't you think it's very romantic?" flashed through her mind.
This was probably the difference in how they view an issue.
Patrick thought it was romantic but for her, it meant he was being clingy!
At the moment, what she wanted the most was to stay away from him.
Amelia took a deep breath and made it clear to Patrick, "Patrick, you don't need to do such a thing at all. In my eyes, you're always superior and domineering. Your behaviour today makes me feel...you're not...you..."
Patrick's back stiffened and he squeezed his hand that was on Amelia's shoulder, "Do you think I want to do this? It's you who changed me and make it sway away from who I am!"
Upon hearing this, Amelia's heart ached as if it had been stabbed. It hurt so much that she could not ignore it at all!
She had indeed observed the change in Patrick's behaviour.
But the more she saw, the more frightened she was.
She was afraid that history would repeat itself on her without her knowing it.
Since the incident with Sissi, she had tried her best to get rid of her feelings for him, but what he did was shaking her up.
Sometimes she was so scared that she would make the same mistake that she would constantly use what happened with Sissi to remind herself to be alert.
As they say, a great man could not brook a rival. She could not tolerate Sissi's behaviors too.
Although it was a place away from the employees, the dispute between the two still drew the attention of some of the employees who went for a toilet break.
Patrick turned and held Amelia's hand. After squeezing it in his palm, he said loudly, "Mrs.
Hopper, let's go home!"
Patrick did this because he was sure that Amelia would not shake him off him in front of the employees of the Apex Construction Corporation.
If she did so, the headlines for Apex Construction Corporation the next day would be what had happened to their marriage instead of Kingston apologizing to the Apex Construction Corporation in front of the media reporters.
This was absolutely a piece of bad news for Amelia, who was eager to bring the Apex Construction Corporation back on track.
What she needed was to show that they were very in love with each other, so that the investors could continue on investing in the corporation with confidence.
Patrick was right, very right indeed. As the employees' greeted Amelia, Amelia had to face them with a smile. Then she raised her hand and hug Patrick's arm to show an expression saying "we are a loving couple".
At the company, she was not the only Ramsay here. The whole Ramsay Family and other relatives were by her side with their intentions hidden.
If she made one mistake, she would be torn apart by these people hiding in the dark.
Who knew if the one walking past was working for Kaleb?
"Calm down, you're hurting me," Patrick turned his head and whispered in her ear.
His words made Amelia tighten her fingers before relaxing them.
Seeing that she wrinkled his sleeves, she could not help but look at him apologetically. "I..." "Shh, I understand." Patrick winked at her.
Amelia felt relieved all of the sudden.
The truth was, Patrick was afraid that Amelia would leave him. As for Amelia, she was afraid that Patrick would leave her too.
If he left her, she would suffer a lot more loss than he did!
When they got in the car, a piece of tissue suddenly appeared in Amelia's field of vision.
Patrick's pleasant voice then rang out. "Take it."
