Chapter 956
Under the pressure caused by Patrick who demanded an answer, Amelia closed her eyes in an attempt to regulate her breathing before she said, "I went Dutch with you because at least I won't feel like I'm sharing your money with Sissi. I don't need a man who takes care of me as well as another woman at the same time!"
Panting, awhile later he uttered, "How about today? How could you say that you don't need me to take care of you after I baked a cake for you?"
Amelia glanced at him indifferently, "You're the one who asked to follow me. I had never asked for your help!"
Hearing this, Patrick's expression darkened. He had finally witnessed her cruelty.
Amelia continued, "Fine, if you want to count this in as well, then tell me how much I need to pay you per hour."
"Money again?" Patrick's gaze was enough to frighten her as he muttered, "If you want to pay me back, you have to give according to what I ask for."
Meeting his intensified gaze, Amelia asked, "What do you want?"
"I want this!" Patrick reached out his hand which was all this while holding money to pull her head from behind so that her head would be lifted high enough to meet his lips. In the next second, he had already planted a soft kiss on her lips before she could even react.
Amelia was bewildered by his sudden kiss. Even the passers-by were stunned at their kissing scene.
It was fortunate that Patrick was someone goodlooking. Otherwise, not only his behavior was not romantic at all in public's eyes, he would be regarded as a rogue!
Just as Patrick withdrew himself from her tempting lips, she uttered, "B*stard!"
Patrick glanced at her casually. He felt so much better after venting his anger and energy to her.
"Are you mad?" His gaze lingered on her lips affectionately as he asked the obvious question.
Amelia did not reply him. She forcibly wiped her mouth with the back of her hand in protest of his behavior.
Patrick was entertained by her provocation, "You're the one who insisted to pay me back. I did no more than what you asked for."
Amelia was infuriated to the extent she lost her words. She struggled to free herself from his
restraint in hope that Patrick would let her go.
Patrick said, "Ha! Now you want to go. You don't think that a kiss can simply pay me back the time that I had wasted on you today, do you?"
Staring at him sternly, Amelia wanted to make herself clear, "If you don't let go of me now, I'll call police."
"Are you serious?" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"Of course I am!"
Patrick thought for a moment and reached his conclusion, "In this case, I should have kissed you as many times as possible before you call a police."
"You..."
Amelia's eyes widened in shock. Her mouth was being shut by Patrick's lips again.
She punched his shoulder frantically in contention of his shameless behavior.
Any other people would have been frightened at the thought of involving police.
Hold on... Amelia realized that she had completely forgotten the fact that Patrick's identity and background in Northville was the best shield he had!
After all, they were on a public street. Patrick did not prolong the kiss. His lips brushed off hers before he withdrew himself.
Even so, such a kiss was enough to draw attention of every passers-by.
When he had enough for the second make out, Patrick looked into her furious eyes as he murmured, "How many times had I told you to close your eyes during kissing? Why would you never listen?"
Amelia cried out, "Enough you! Let go of me now!"
Seeing that her eyes reddened, the truth was Patrick could feel his heart aching for her. However, he remained expressionless in facing her.
He handed two thousand dollars to Amelia and began bargaining, "Take the money and I'll let you _ _ H go.
"The money is yours!" Amelia refused to accept the money.
Patrick's voice turned bitter as he threatened, "Don't make me do something unspeakable to you in front of everyone now!"
Amelia glared at him resentfully, "Can you stop being so shameless? You... Hold on!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she realized that Patrick had reached out to her lips again. She hurriedly said, "I'll take the money, alright?"
Giving Amelia one last look in regret, Patrick kept his words and let go of her.
Amelia who was no longer held in restraint by Patrick had completely given up the idea of fleeing. She knew that this man would manage to catch her no matter how fast she ran away from him.
Upon rubbing her arm which was in pain as a result of his forceful grip, she asked again, "Are you sure that you don't want the money?"
"Hmm?" The prolonged response given by Patrick was sending a warning of threatening Amelia.
Amelia had no other choice but to take the money.
Amelia tried to convince herself that she would seek for another opportunity to return him the money.
Patrick could not help feeling amused as he saw Amelia taking back the money with great reluctance. He betted no one else would be desperate to get rid of money like she did.
The truth was Amelia did not mean to get rid of her money. She just wished that she could get used of keeping a safe distance from Patrick.
But he would not give her such opportunity.
Instead, he had thousand ways to force her into compromising. Shame on him!
Do he really thought that she dared not call Gramps Hopper?
Upon thinking of his grandfather, Amelia could not help feeling frightful.
Even if she managed to contact Gramps Hopper, most probably Patrick was going to stand against him had he came to his way.
She could already foresee that she would set The Hopper Family into chaos.
"Do I want to let such a tragedy happen?"
Amelia asked herself deep down.
"Stop daydreaming. Hurry up!"
Amelia looked adorable especially when she was lost in her thought. Patrick could not resist the urge to ruffle her hair.
Amelia immediately dodged away from his hand as if she was afraid to come into contact with something strictly forbidden.
Patrick's hand was left hanging in the air.
Upon realizing what Patrick was up to, Amelia tucked her hair behind her ear before she glared at Patrick, "Can you stop touching me like this? I don't like it at all!"
Patrick hid his clenched fist behind him and said indifferently, "It's not like I had never touched you before." He wondered how could Amelia forget that a moment ago he had just kissed her.
"It was in the past!" Amelia emphasized, "If you touch me like this again, I'll make sure I move out from Land of Fragrance immediately and stay away
from you!"
Patrick did not seem moved by her threaten. He asked faintly, "Are you sure that you don't mind hurting dad?"
Amelia exclaimed agitatedly, "You're the one to be blamed if this happens! You leave me with no choice!"
"Fine!" Patrick brushed his hair irritably before he said, "I promise I won't touch you like that again! In exchange for this, you have to stay at Land of Fragrance. You're not allowed to go anywhere. Do you hear me?"
Patrick was trying to play with the words. In fact, he had just agreed to not touch her "in that way". He would keep his promise and touch her in other ways!
"Deal?"
Seeing that Amelia's eyes were full of hesitation and doubt, Patrick sneered, "Do you need a written document for this?"
