"What do you mean?" Hearing my words, Patrick raised his head.
I said, "Yeah. She is a healthy grown- up. However, Roger treats her as if she were a child and takes care of her either she walks or has food. Of course, Lisa has to be angry."
Patrick surely had got my point. He raised his hand and touched my head, saying, "Well, then be careful. But I will send a car to pick you up."
"No problem."
Although I didn't think it was necessary, I accepted it.
I did so to rest assure Patrick.
After the wedding ceremony, Ryan called me, saying that he decided to accompany Jessica to go back to the rehabilitation center of Holy Spirit Hospital to go through a systematic treatment until she fully recovered.
In that case, I should be the one that took care of Glenn.
Now that the relationship between Patrick and I had settled down, I agreed.
That night, after school, I went to pick Glenn up.
And we two went back to Unit Number One, City Y.
After knowing about this matter, Patrick went back home early that day, having dinner with Glenn and playing games with him after the meal.
I sat on the sofa and watched the two of them form a team and work together to pass the test. At that moment, I felt something.
The so-called peaceful time was exactly like this.
The next day, Patrick accompanied me to send Glenn to school. Then he sent me to work.
On the road, he hugged me and said with some dissatisfaction, "See? If you move your studio to my place, I can see you several times during the day."
"No." I twisted my body deliberately, "You go home every day to see me. If you see me at work every day as well, what if you are tired of me?"
"How could this be?"
He pressed down on me.
I tilted my head and dodged him, saying, "Don't."
In fact, after Patrick raised such a proposal, I wanted to move the studio to his place. But the new office building was ready with furnishing to be yet finished.
Nancy had gone there with me to check the office several times. And I could sense her excitement every time.
I was too embarrassed to raise such a proposal.
"Really?" He pressed me on the back of the seat with a serious look in his dark eyes.
I bit my lips, wondering whether I should tell him my struggle...
"I can follow you like a shadow chasing after light as if I were sleepwalking..."
Sounds of melodious music rang.
Hearing the ring tone, I was stunned for a moment. Only after that did I remember that I had changed the business ringtone into such a soundtrack previously.
Upon hearing this, Patrick was stunned as well.
I stuck out my tongue and reached out to get my cell phone.
Patrick had no choice but to make way.
I picked up thecell phone and glanced at the cell phone screen.
The caller ID on it read, "Finn Kelsi."
Seeing this name, I suddenly remembered what Finn had asked me to do!
A few weeks had passed ever since I returned to City Y. He surely had been waiting for me impatiently. That was why he called me.
Seeing the caller ID, Patrick didn't speak.
I didn't want Patrick to know about this, thinking that I could solve it by myself.
After a moment's hesitation, I hung up the phone.
Seeing this, Patrick asked, "Why didn't you pick up the call?"
I hesitated for a moment. As I was thinking about how to explain it to him, my cell phone rang again.
Finn called me once again.
Since I hung up his call just now, I might as well not pick up his call this time.
I made up my mind.
Directly, I turned off my cell phone.
Patrick squinted at me from the side, "What's wrong? Why is he looking for you?"
