Brittany heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Ned's figure disappeared from her sight. She said, "Daniel, it turns out that you have a younger brother. Why haven't I hear you mention him before?" A haze flashed across Daniel's eyes. He smiled and said perfunctorily, "Now you know about it right?"

Then, someone served a glass of orange juice. The crowd immediately forgot about the unpleasant drama and the atmosphere became great again.

In the evening, at the Land of Fragrance.

After Amelia returned home, she went to find Huxton immediately to talk about some matter.

She dragged him to a quiet corner and asked angrily, "How could you tell it to Patrick? This is betrayal!"

Huxton did not feel guilty at all. "If I don't tell the truth, then I'm not loyal to sir."

Amelia took a deep breath and said, "Well, I understand your loyalty but you can't be like this!"

Huxton raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it?"

Amelia clenched her fist and said, "Do you still want to deny it? Ned is just a teenager and you told Patrick that he's a handsome boy. Aren't you trying to mislead Patrick? Be careful that I will expose you in front of him!"

Huxton pursed his lips. His gaze passed through Amelia's head and landed on Patrick who had silently appeared not far away from her. "Sir, you're just in time. I have something else to report to you." "Ha! Are you trying to switch the topic?"

Amelia did not look behind her. She thought that Huxton would disappear without a trace when she turned back. Patrick was not satisfied when he noticed Amelia talked with Huxton in private. Patrick said in a low voice, "Tell me!" Amelia felt like crying when she heard Patrick's voice. Huxton really did not lie to her. Patrick was indeed there!

"Here is the thing, sir..." Huxton said frankly when he looked into Patrick's cold eyes, "Madam blames me for telling you the truth and she got punished by you. However, there is another thing that you don't know yet. In order to cover up the fact that madam made an appointment with Daniel's younger brother, she held my shoulder and took a selfie to threaten me."

Patrick listened to him quietly and asked in a tone that did not reveal much emotion, "Is that so?" "Yes." Huxton pointed at Amelia and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask madam yourself." Patrick's lips twitched. "Amelia, turn your face over."

Amelia who thought she was lucky did not expect Huxton to betray her.

She turned around gloomily and looked at Patrick who had cold expression. "Don't look at me so fiercely. I didn't do anything bad."

Patrick glanced at Huxton. Then Huxton nodded and left immediately.

Patrick continued to deal with Amelia. "Do you think that you could bribe Huxton?"

Amelia said with disappointment, "It's proven that I can't bribe him."

The corners of Patrick's lips curled into a smile. "It's good that you know."

Amelia rubbed her eyes and pretended to be sleepy to avoid the following inquiries. "I'm sleepy... I'm going upstairs to rest now."

After saying that, she walked pass Patrick and wanted to leave.

"You haven't eat, shower, watch TV and play computer games, are you really going to rest now?"

Patrick grabbed her hand from the back. He could easily debunked her tricks with just a simple summary.

Amelia who had no hope of escaping letting out a sigh of relief and said, "Didn't Huxton tell you everything? Why did you still hold on to me? I have nothing else to say."

"Does this mean that you're really want to meet Daniel's younger brother again?" Was it not enough to be involved with Daniel's affair and now she want to involve his brother as well?

Amelia denied it, "No. I'm just being polite. It's just like how people casually asked other, 'have you eaten?' when they meet."

Patrick stared at her for a while. "Let's eat."

"Huh?" Amelia was surprised by his kind attitude.

"Please remember not ot do things that let me down." Patrick warned her afterwards.

Amelia's mood immediately became bad.

When night fell, it was Patrick's mating time again.

Out of the corner of Amelia's eyes, she saw that Patrick was so coquette. He just came out from the bathroom and his lower body was only wrapped in a gray bath towel. Her hand trembled unconsciously when she was holding the mouse.

Patrick started howling like a wolf. "Mrs. Hopper..."

"Wait a minute! This game has just begun," Amelia

said firmly.

Playing computer game again?

Patrick frowned and said unpleasantly, "Is the game more important than me?"

"The game is more important at this moment," Amelia said honestly.

"Amelia!" Patrick roared to indicate that he was in a bad mood.

Amelia took a chance to glance at him and said lazily, "Well, if you have nothing else to do, go to the study to read books and listen to music. Stop buzzing me all the time."

"You!" Patrick did not expect to be sent away by a woman.

Before Patrick lost his temper, Amelia wittily put on her earphones.

Patrick was furious and secretly wanted to pull out the internet cable. However, he felt that it was too petty to do so.

But if he really listened to Amelia's words and went to the study room, didn't this mean that he bow down to her?

After thinking about it for a while, Patrick picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. He sat on a chair, felt bored and began to watch a football match.

A football match... This seemed to be one of the few programmes that Patrick liked to watch.

Amelia peeked behind the computer with her eyes. She found that in addition to football match and news, she had never seen Patrick watch other types of TV programmes.

For example, he was not interested in any TV series, movies and variety shows.

He kept a straight face. He was full of passion. However, he was not romantic, chill and humourous...

At this moment, Amelia's phone on her left hand side suddenly rang.

She looked at it and found that it was a call from a stranger.

After swiped the answer button, Amelia put the phone close to her ear and said, "Hello."

"Are you Amelia?"

"Yes, I am."

"I'm IVlaryanne Smith."

No wonder the voice sounded so familiar. Amelia asked, "What can I do for you?"

Maryanne said with some depression, "Milton is sick and his high fever is not going down. He has been calling your name since he was sick. Can you come and visit him?" "What? Is he sick?" Amelia just focused on the previous sentence. She frowned and asked, "I remember that he just had a fever last time. Why does he have high fever again?"

Maryanne sobbed in pain. "I don't know if we pressure him too much. He was ill and couldn't get up since he came back from the bar that night."

When Amelia heard Maryanne, who was a heartless person crying so hard, she thought that it would be useless to blame Maryanne for giving Milton too much pressure. It would not help to cure Milton's sickness.

She sighed softly and said, "Don't cry. Can you tell me where he is now."
