Chapter 807
Chapter 807
Huxton looked at Amelia with mixed emotions. His throat as well as his eyes were extremely dry.
"Come on, get on the car with me now. Let's talk in the car!"
As Amelia spoke, she dragged Huxton into the car.
Following that, she drove the car and soon they disappeared from the sight of the men in black.
Each of them had a serious look on their faces. Someone then said, "Madam has gone with Huxton. Quick, make a phone call to inform sir!"
On the other side.
After driving the car away from Land of Fragrance, Amelia casually parked the car on the wide and deserted street.
She let go of the steering wheel and turned around to ask Huxton who was hanging his head, "What are you going to do next?"
Huxton did not say a word. He himself did not know what to do either.
He had been following Patrick since he was young. He had learned all the skills for him. The only purpose of his life over the years was to serve
Patrick, but now his master said, 'I don't need you anymore.'
What should he do?
Amelia saw the confusion on his face and felt a sense of guilt. He became embroiled in this because of her. "Well, if you have any relatives or somewhere to stay in Northville, I'll help you settle down first, and then find a chance to beg for Patrick's mercy!"
Hearing this, Huxton became more depressed. "Hmmm, I was an orphan. My adoptive parents abandoned me when I was twelve years old. I made a living by swindling in the city. Then, there was a time when I was beaten up by a group of security guards under the bridge. It was Mr. Hopper who found me."
Without having to listen to the latter part of the story, Amelia could guess that Huxton had already made up his mind to return Patrick's favour of saving his life by serving him until his last breath.
"A few years ago, he was hurt by Sissi and left the castle for me to take care of. Then he travelled abroad by himself. At that time, I couldn't always be with him, but at least I knew that he needed me. Unlike now..."
Even though Huxton had downplayed his past, it was not difficult for Amelia to learn about his dependence on Patrick. What an ungrateful person!
All the more reason why she hated Patrick.
Rolling her eyes, Amelia thought of a person who could cheer Huxton up. She said happily, "Huxton, I have a place for you now."
Huxton said distractedly, "Madam, you'd better forget about it if it's your house. Ms. Brittany doesn't like me."
"No..."
"If it's a hotel, then there's no need to splurge out on that."
"No! It's definitely a good place for you to be happy and forget everything!"
After that, Amelia turned the car around and headed in another direction before Huxton could voice his doubts.
At the same time, at Golden Sunshine...
'Golden sunshine' was the name of a high-end residential building along the river. At this time, a man and a woman were standing outside a house that was being renovated.
The woman was so beautiful that the renovators in the house frequently looked back at her.
Seeing this, the woman did not show any emotion, but in fact, she was beaming inwardly.
Turning around, the woman glanced at the man next to her obsessively. "Patrick, thank you for coming to check on the house today."
Hearing this, Patrick impassively grunted in reply. His hand was still holding the cigarette and it never seemed to stop. Though he knew clearly that Sissi could not stand the smell, he just could not help the selfish part of him.
Seeing this, Sissi did not say anything. She just reminded him before the cigarette butts were about to burn out, "It's already evening. It's time to let the workers get off work."
Patrick threw the cigarette butt into the garbage box next to him and said to Sissi, "Go ahead then. I'll wait for you at the door."
The room was in a mess, filled with powder and paint. Patrick had always given it at wide berth.
"Okay." Sissi responded. She entered the room and clapped her hands. With her chin slightly raised, she said with a noble look, "Let's call it a day. Everyone, you can get off work now."
The workers intended to tease a beauty like Sissi, but then they remembered that Patrick was standing at the door like a devil. They did not dare to act rashly and left one after another.
Sissi was the last one to get out. She pulled the doorknob close and locked it. Then she smiled and said to Patrick, "What are your next plans?"
Food? Shopping?
Sissi was so excited. She then heard Patrick say, "Let's go to your parents' house." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Sissi's smile froze. She did not expect Patrick to remember this. She suddenly remembered that it was the weekend which happened to be the appointment that had been set earlier by Patrick and her.
Ah! It was no wonder he would take the initiative to call her. It was all because of this!
Looking down, she tried to hide the emotional wave that passed over her. When Sissi looked up again, she smiled and said, "But I haven't contacted them for many years. I don't know if they have moved..."
"I've already checked beforehand. They are still living in the same place," said Patrick.
Sissi bit her lower lips and suddenly changed her tone. "Patrick, can we... not go there?"
Patrick took a glance at her quietly.
She folded one arm across her chest and said softly, "I am really ashamed to go back to see them! The consequences would be unthinkable especially if I told them about the divorce with my ex- husband. Please don't provoke them given the fact that they are already old. Just let them treat me as if I was dead."
Patrick had been upset before coming here. Since Sissi had gone back on her words, he could not help but said derisively. "Sissi, when did you become so gutless? Why can't you take the courage you used to play with me and Sawyer to meet your parents?"
Hearing this, Sissi could not help but burst into tears. "Patrick, do you have to hurt me with my past mistakes? I have already paid for it. Look at me now. My parents didn't recognize me. My ex- husband forced me. I was isolated and fled back to Northville like fugitive. Isn't it miserable enough?"
Patrick was in a panic because of her crying. Amelia's face and Sissi's face appeared and were interchanging before his eyes. Finally, his eyes were fixed on the cold face of Amelia. He then blurted out, "Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you!"
When the words were out, Sissi grinned, but Patrick's thoughts had drifted away...
Sissi took advantage of the situation and said, "It doesn't matter. I know you're just so eager to let me reunite with my parents that you voiced without thinking. I don't blame you..."
Sissi's crying face looked beautiful, but her smile was even more stunning. However, she did not notice that Patrick's mind had not been on her for a while.
"Then..." Sissi grabbed the hem of Patrick's shirt
lightly and asked further, "May I not go home for the time being?"
Sissi kept asking questions. Patrick had to come to his senses and stare at her. "Are you sure?"
