My words probably gave Patrick confidence. He hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Okay."
His brief answer meant the greatest forgiveness for me.
Seeing him go upstairs to pack up his things, I followed him up.
Seeing him taking out his shirt and tie, I said, "Well, if you are on a business trip in the future, I can help you pack up your things."
As soon as I said that, I regretted it.
I didn't intend to stay with Patrick for a long time. And I didn't have to take care of these things.
Originally, I spoke gently. But Patrick heard my words. He came over, took my hands directly, and led me into his dressing room. Then he pointed to the items of clothes one after another and said, "These shirts are for work on usual days. And these shirts are for formal occasions, such as important banquets..."
He pulled me and introduced all his clothes to me, including the shirt, the cuff button, the tie,
and the tie knot.
After he finished listening, I stood on his side with a blank face.
In the past, I used to think that men's clothes were almost the same. How could there be so many differences?
Patrick had almost finished introducing all of his clothes. When he turned around and saw that I was looking at him with a confused look, he couldn't help but curl up his lips, "Forget it. I'll do it by myself. I'm quite happy that you had thought of it."
By saying so, he meant that I was willing to stay by his side for a prolonged period.
Unfortunately, I said so because I was on the spur of the moment just now. I knew deep in my heart that I didn't want to stay by Patrick's side all the time.
What he needed was a more powerful woman who could protect herself rather than a woman like me...
From a certain point of view, losing the two children was partly due to me.
It was because I wasn't strong enough.
Since I couldn't go out to work now, how about...
Seeing that Patrick had almost finished packing up his things, I asked him, "Do you have time now? I want to buy some painting tools." Fearing that he would refuse me, I said quickly, "Just for this time. I will try my best to buy every tool I need for painting. But if you are in a hurry, I will wait until you come back."
The reason I was in a hurry was that I wanted to find something to do in the next few days.
In this way, I wouldn't run out because of idleness.
"Yes. Let's go." Patrick immediately agreed. It seemed that it was something that he didn't need to consider at all.
He went downstairs with his luggage. It wasn't until I got downstairs that I discovered that two cars stopped outside.
We went out. The door of a car opened. Jeremy got out of the car and hurried to help Patrick carry his luggage.
After Jeremy put the luggage in the trunk, Patrick said, "You should go to the airport first. And I will accompany her to buy something."
"But, the time..."
"Go ahead."
Hearing his words, Jeremy, who originally wanted to say something, was interrupted by Patrick.
Only then did I realize that they were going to rush to catch a flight.
So I quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll go there by myself some other day. You'd better leave now."
"I'm free." Patrick didn't say anything else further. He pulled me to the passenger's seat and went to the driver's seat.
Jeremy was originally driving. When he saw Patrick driving, he went to another car.
The moment he opened the car door, I saw a person in the back seat of another car.
Although I didn't see who it was clearly, judging from the outline, I knew that it was Amanda!
Would Amanda go on a business trip alongside Patrick?
