Sissi refuted, agitated, "He's not my current husband! We've divorced!"

"That doesn't change the fact that you toyed with my feelings!"

Those bad memories that were locked away in the depths of his mind seeped through uncontrollably after Sissi's appearance. Patrick grabbed her shoulders with fury and asked while shaking her, "Why did you date me when you had a fiance abroad? And it didn't even end there with me! You even hooked up with your other students! Even if you died a hundred times, it's not enough to compensate my hatred for you!"

"I'm sorry..." Sissi burst into tears.

While Patrick and Sissi were arguing, Amelia and the other two arrived at their door.

The secretary's heart was beating so fast at this moment. She was afraid that something inappropriate would be seen if the door was opened.

Amelia cast her a glance. "Ms. Secretary, he stays here?" "Yes, Mr. Hopper is staying here for these couple of days," the secretary replied.

Amelia raised her attention to take in the environment. She found Patrick's recent situation quite funny and felt distressed for him. Living in such a simple and crude accommodation, he must be bawling his eyes out, right?

She raised her hand. Just as Amelia was about to knock on the door, the secretary suddenly stopped her and said, "Madam Ramsay, aren't you going to give Mr. Hopper a surprise? How about we find a corne to hide, and I'll knock on the door. When Mr. Hopper opens the door, I'll give you a sign, and you jump out to give him a big surprise. What do you think?"

Amelia returned a quick nod of agreement. "Great idea!"

The secretary's vigilant eyes immediately turned to Huxton, who was by Amelia's side and said, "Then... Please hide with Ms. Amelia as well, sir?"

Huxton stood his ground and said, "I don't need to hide. I'm not a surprise. I'm just a bodyguard."

There was no other way at this critical point.

After Amelia hid, the secretary silently said a prayer in her heart and rapped on the door.

Her plan was this. As soon as Patrick opened the door, she would inform him at once that Amelia was here. If Sissi was still in his room, then he would definitely walk out of the room to meet Amelia. If Sissi hac already left, he could naturally welcome Amelia into the room.

Perfect!

Although the ideal was flawless, it was a pity that the reality fell flat on its face.

The secretary had knocked on the door several times, but there was no response from inside.

Just when the secretary reached the peak of her desperation, Amelia, who was not eager to wait in the first place, jumped out of the corner and shouted, "So troublesome! I'd better go straight in!" Just as Amelia spoke and reached out her hand to push the door, it swung open!

The secretary was shocked. She had never expected Amelia to be so impatient. So she could only pray that Patrick was the only one in his room!

The two women, one who was worried about Patrick and the other worrying if Patrick's 'pleasant time' would be intercepted by his official wife, rushed into the room.

Only Huxton remained calmly, unlike Amelia and the secretary.

"Patrick..." The excited voice of Amelia only rang through the room for one-third of a second, then she

saw...

A beautiful woman...

And her husband...

The two guys tangled together...

From Amelia's point of view, Patrick looked as if he was about to kiss the woman at any time.

Coming in a few moments late, the secretary gasped and quickly covered her eyes with both hands. Gosh, why did she have to witness such a horrible scene? Who should she side with later?

As Amelia was rooted to the ground in shock, the woman hit Patrick's chest and expressed angrily, "Let me go!"

Patrick grabbed her tightly and had no intention to let her go. "If you don't get to the bottom of this with me today, I won't let go!"

Hearing this, Amelia felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and her heart instantly turned icy.

It had always been women who clung to Patrick. Since when was it Patrick's turn to be unable to let go?

He did not even realize she was in his room... How 'focused' was he?

Amelia's lips twitched unconsciously. She then dashed out of the door while still in a daze.

Huxton, who was by the door, was hit by Amelia. Seeing her panicked state, he reached out to hold her at once and asked seriously, "Madam, what happened?" Amelia glanced at him, and there seemed to be light glinting off her eyes. Huxton was stunned at the sight of it. He had never seen Amelia lost herself like this.

By the time he came back to his senses, Amelia had brushed his hand away and left without a destination in mind.

Of course, Huxton could not let Amelia run away to wherever she wished. She had just arrived at this village, and the terrain structure here was complicated. What if she encountered bad people or got lost? Looking into the direction of the room, Huxton did not have time to meet his master. He turned around and chased after Amelia.

In the blink of an eye, only three people were left in the room. The secretary carefully peered through the gaps between her fingers with her left eye. Amelia had disappeared!

At this moment, Sissi suddenly broke away from Patrick's grip, wiped her tears and ran towards the door. As soon as Patrick turned to go after her, they saw the secretary who was at loss for what to do. Seeing the secretary, Sissi's beautiful face filled with embarrassment. She combed her messy hair down and said as assuringly as possible, "Ms. Secretary, things aren't as what you saw..." The secretary gave a perfunctory reply, "I understand..."

Taking advantage of Sissi's momentary pause, Patrick reached out and grabbed her, preventing her from running away.

After a while, Patrick glanced at the secretary and asked, "Who let you in?"

The secretary was speechless. "I..."

In fact, Patrick did not want to listen to her explanation at all. With a fierce look, he roared, "Get out of here!"

It was her first time to see Patrick in such rage. The secretary was so scared that her face whitened, even frightened her to the point where she swallowed the words about Amelia's visit and left in a hurry. At the same time, Huxton had successfully caught up with Amelia.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he kept silent and quietly walked with her.

Sensing that someone was approaching, Amelia instinctively raised the back of her hand and rubbed her reddened eyes.

She turned his head and saw that it was Huxton. A deep sense of loneliness and self-mockery emerged across her face

What was she thinking? Did she think that Patrick would chase after her? The funny thing was he did not even notice her presence.

After a long time, Amelia finally regained her voice. "Huxton, let's go home."

Huxton gave her a sidelong glance and found that tears were welling up in her eyes. She looked absentminded as if she had suffered great trauma.

"Madam, did someone bully you? Let me know, I can help you."
