Chapter 29
The father-in-law trusted his daughter-in-law without a shadow of doubt and said, "My dear, come and be seated. I've got something for you."
Amelia walked to Howard and sat down beside him.
Howard said earnestly, "Patrick and Amelia, you are a married couple now, so you should learn to live by yourselves."
Amelia thought maybe he wanted them to move out, just like his elder brother and sister-in-law? Amelia responded, "Dad, I'll be with Patrick wherever he is."
"I agree." Patrick absolutely agreed. After moving out, he could do whatever he wanted without the interference of his father.
Satisfied, Howard smiled and handed a small box to Amelia and said, "The keys to your new house - there you go. Now you are a hostess and keep it well."
Amelia looked down at the box and saw a line of words on the surface, indicating the address of the villa.
Oh my! The house was located in the golden section of Northville. How generous this father-in-law was!
Reading the address, Patrick's face turned livid and said, "Dad, you know I've another plan for this house..."
Before Patrick could finish his sentence, Howard blurted out, sounding as if he was giving him a warning.
Amelia felt the repression of Patrick and asked, "Anything wrong with this house?"
Howard tried to avoid the embarrassment and said to his son, "There was always something in the past and you have to learn to let go of it. Just look ahead and focus on what is with you."
Patrick frowned and responded, "What if the one in my mind is irreplaceable?"
"That's your business." Howard smiled and said with aggression, "See, it is my business to be kind to your wife. I just want her to move into that house. You can't stop me."
Patrick became serious and requested, "Dad, I have some other real estate under my name and we don't have to live there."
Howard said directly, "So you mean the house is not needed. Okay, I will have it demolished tomorrow."
Patrick turned silent.
"Come with me." As soon as the couple left the study, Patrick grabbed Amelia and almost dragged her all the way back to the bedroom.
Amelia frowned and shouted, "What the hell are you doing?"
Making sure there was no one else, Patrick asked her in anger, "Tell me! What kind of ecstasy did you make for my dad? Why does he care about you this much?"
"Let go of my hand! I don't know what you're saying!" Amelia was scared as Patrick's facial expression seemed to tear her into pieces. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Amelia was terrified and weak and Patrick continued rudely, "You don't understand? Okay, listen to me! After moving out, don't dream that my father can protect you anymore! He wants me to live with you, but I want you to be in the doghouse and make you a Negative Nancy!"
"Can you tell me what's wrong with you?" Amelia asked in a low voice.
She didn't understand why Patrick lost his head upon seeing the keys to the house. What was more confusing was he vented his anger on her while she was not the one to be blamed.
"None of your business!" Patrick shouted out with dispiritedness filled in his eyes.
The house was originally bought for Sissi by him. After Sissi left, he was so sad that the key to the villa was kept by his father, who wanted him to completely forget her.
It was easy to say this, but until today, when the other woman was about to occupy the memory, Patrick felt unbearable.
