Chapter 919
After the idea of divorce surfaced, Amelia said frankly, "Yes, I am indeed on the verge of giving up on our marriage, but at least Sissi's child doesn't belong to you, which makes me quite happy. At least... I didn't lose so thoroughly."
Patrick clutched the arm of the sofa so tightly that his knuckles became pale. Obviously, he could only focus on the first half of Amelia's words and he said coldly, "Look! I won't agree to divorce!"
Amelia said understandingly, "I know. You have your concerns, and I have mine, so we'll put it aside first."
She only hoped that the Hopper Family would accept Sissi, and then the prince and the princess would live happily ever after. As an annoying bystander, she could just stand aside.
Thinking about it carefully, Patrick had still left something for her in this marriage. It was a baby, a baby that belonged only to her!
Patrick felt relieved when he heard Amelia's decision to put aside the divorce, but he felt as if he was on tenterhooks.
He, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, had never been so humbled as he was at this moment. He had always gotten what he wanted. He could not control his anger. "Amelia, can't you give me a timeout? Why must you force me to choose between you and Sissi!"
Amelia's eyebrows twitched. Was it her fault that he was gaining advantages between two women?
"Also, did I force him to do so? No! Didn't I agree to let go?" Amelia thought angrily.
"I..."
Amelia opened her mouth, but was interrupted by Patrick before she could speak. "Alright! Let's go home!"
Patrick had made up his mind. No matter what, was there anything a man and his wife could not solve between the sheets?
Amelia had a dangerous instinct and looked at him. "Are you having bad ideas?"
Patrick denied it, "No!"
"No? Then why your eyes look so evil?" Amelia thought that he was up to no good. She asked tentatively, "You won't lock me up at home again, do you?"
Was it that obvious?
Seeing that he did not speak, Amelia forced herself to calm down and said, "I advise you not to do this. I am now the president of the Apex Construction Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Corporation. As long as I don't go to work, Uncle Tucker will try and contact me immediately. If he can't contact me, he will call the police!"
Patrick suddenly bent down and put both his hands on the armrest of Amelia's armchair, encircling her between the back of the chair and his arms.
Looking nervously at Patrick, who slowly lowered his head and gazed into her eyes, Amelia felt even more nervous. Patrick was so close to her that he looked even more domineering than before. If he suddenly attacked her, she would have nowhere to hide.
She shrank back subconsciously and asked, "What are you doing?"
Patrick stared at her soft and beautiful face greedily, and asked casually, "Amelia, since you are ready to divorce me, does it mean that you don't feel anything for me?"
Amelia was stunned for a moment. How could she show her determination if she was not cruel? So she said, "Yes."
Patrick's lips twitched but his smile was not sincere when he heard this. "If you don't feel anything, why do you hide from me? The Land of Fragrance is so big. We can avoid each other and live separately and treat each other as roommates. What do you think?"
Amelia paused and said, "I don't think that's a good idea."
Patrick asked jokingly, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that you'll rekindle the past romance with me?"
Amelia was terribly honest. "Yes, I am concerned about this. The most important thing is that I have my own place."
Patrick analyzed it slowly, "The place where you can live is no more than your parents' home. But you just went back once not long ago because you had a quarrel with me. Aren't you afraid that Alice would worry about you if you went back now?"
Amelia pouted her lips and said, "No I don't want to! Thank you for reminding me not to disturb Alice. I think I can rent a place."
"Rent a place?" Patrick was bemused, but he gritted his teeth as he mulled over these words. He mocked, "Do you want dad scolding me that I'm abusing my wife?"
A trace of pleasure flashed across Amelia's beautiful face. "Dad scolding you can help vent my anger. I'm so happy and don't even think I'll sympathize with you."
Patrick really wanted to gag her annoying mouth and said, "And? Do you want dad to find your rental house in the following days, crying and begging you to go home?"
Amelia pictured it for a while and could not help frowning. "You're exaggerating."
Patrick raised his eyebrows and said, "But he probably will do that. After all, you are his daughter-in- law!"
Was Howard not the one who had taken a fancy to Amelia?
It was Howard who had arranged their marriage. It could be seen that Howard's fondness for Amelia has accumulated over the years.
It would be gouging Howard's heart if he gave up such a daughter-in-law.
Amelia squinted her eyes and thought for a while. Finally, she sighed and said, "You know what, Patrick? I really hope that I don't have to be so considerate."
Hearing this, Patrick laughed from the bottom of his heart. He knew that Amelia had promised to live on the shores of the Land of Fragrance.
Amelia saw him smirking as if she could not get out of his hand no matter what. This made her mad, "I've got news for you! I'm not doing this for you. I just want to prevent dad from running all over the place!"
Patrick's eyes were filled with a tease. "Mrs.
Hopper, you remind me of an ostrich. Hiding in the sand won't make you invisible."
Amelia's beautiful face changed and said in a sharp tone, "Please don't think too much! If dad didn't use grandpa to force my hand, I would have dragged you to court a long time ago!"
Patrick said regretfully, "Oh, then I'm really sorry to run you against a grandpa who has authority and is more overbearing and unreasonable than me. If you want a divorce without dispute, wait until grandpa dies.
When he dies, no one could hold me anymore. If we divorce then, I won't be cast out from the Hopper Family and you won't be blamed by my family for killing two birds with one stone. What do you think?"
