Mr. Lynch breath a sigh of relief when he entered the house. He thought to himself, why was Patrick acting like a dog protecting her owner. Would he be torn into shreds if Amelia did not escort him into the house?
After Amelia led Mr. Lynch to the refrigerator, she told him about the problems encountered and handed it over to him.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Patrick was walking towards the kitchen. She noticed that he still had his apron on and she wondered whether it was because he was in a hurry to look for her.
To be honest, the pattern on the apron looked girlish. Even Huxton did not like it back then.
However, Patrick went out of the house while wearing it. He was either brave enough to ignore how others see him or he was really anxious!
Amelia sighed. She really did not know how to face him.
He seemed so near yet so far some times. She could never know what he was thinking.
She could not help but be afraid. Patrick might change his attitude just to protect Sissi.
"Miss?" At this moment, Mr. Lynch's voice was heard.
"Yes?" Amelia hurriedly came back to her senses and asked, "Is something wrong with the refrigerator?"
Mr. Lynch stood up and smiled at Amelia. "There's nothing wrong with your fridge. The plug wasn't plugged in properly, I've plugged it in. Can you try and check the refrigerator to see if it's working?"
Amelia could not believe that such a careless act would happen to her!
She took a look at it and noticed that the light in the refrigerator was working. Amelia immediately knew that Mr. Lynch was right after all.
One minute later.
Mr. Lynch picked up his toolbox and greeted Amelia with a smile, "Then I'll take my leave first. If there's anything else, just dial me up by then."
Seeing that Mr. Lynch did not mention anything about the maintenance fee, Amelia felt ashamed and apologize to him for troubling him without checking what happened first.
Mr. Lynch did not mind her carelessness and said "It's fine, I'll take it as I'm here for the flowers."
Amelia then sent Mr. Lynch to the garden entrance and insisted on paying for his fuel before allowing
him to leave.
After sending Mr. Lynch away with some money in his hand, Amelia turned and went into the house.
Outside the kitchen, Patrick had already taken off his apron and walked towards her with empty hands.
Seeing that only Amelia standing in the kitchen, he could not help asking, "Where's Mr. Lynch?"
Amelia answered, "He left."
Patrick was taken aback. "So soon?"
Amelia nodded and said, "The refrigerator is not broken at all. The plug was loosened. Mr. Lynch had just inserted it back and the refrigerator went back to work."
Hearing this, Patrick frowned and muttered, "Why are the plugs constantly getting loose recently..."
Amelia did not hear him clearly. "What did you say?"
"Nothing." Patrick changed the topic. "What are we going to do next?"
Amelia replied casually, "Watch TV, play some computer games, do facial..."
Patrick interrupted with a dull voice. "No way!"
Amelia was confused. "Why not?"
Patrick said frankly, "Your eyes haven't recovered yet. What they need most now is rest! Watching TV and playing computer games are harmful to your eyes, so you're not allowed to watch TV or play computer games!"
Amelia agreed with what Patrick said but she said, "What about the facial? Why can't I put one on?"
Patrick narrowed his eyes and said, "What if the essentials seeped into your eyes? Do you want your eyes to tickle again?"
