Chapter 97
Standing on the step which was one step higher than Amelia, Patrick suddenly leaned down and smelled her neck.
Amelia resisted the urge to avoid him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Patrick raised his head and stared at her clear eyes, saying, "Haven't you drunk today?"
Walking through the living room, Amelia said, "I'm not in a bad mood every day."
Patrick followed her up. His lazy voice was full of tiredness, which seemed to be peevish. He said, "Mrs. Hopper, have you had dinner yet? May I take you to a candlelight dinner?"
Amelia thought that Patrick was strange and asked, "You don't blame me for hurting Mom?"
Patrick glared at her reproachfully and said, "Mrs. Hopper, can you stop making me angry?"
Since Patrick gave in, she did not have to make them a mess, so she said, "Mr. Hopper, I've already dined before I came back, so..."
Patrick's eyes flickered with anger and he said, "So, you're not going for the candlelight dinner with me, huh?" Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Since Amelia had to ask Patrick for help, she would do her best to please him, so she smiled and said with her thin lips curving into a crescent- shaped shape, "Shall we dine at home? Let me cook for you.
What would you like?"
Patrick almost got drowned in her tenderness and sweetness as he could read her intention to make him happy, which greatly met with a man's vanity, so he asked, "Can you make Japanese
sushi?"
Amelia was in a bit of a dilemma as a lot of ingredients are needed for sushi. She regretted not agreeing with him to dine out.
"You can't make it?" Patrick asked again.
Amelia nodded and said, "No, I can! Mr. Hopper, please wait for a moment. I'll do it right away."
She agreed on all his requests, which made Patrick uncomfortable. He asked, "Mrs. Hopper, have you made any trouble that needs me to sort it out for you?"
Amelia, who was searching for ingredients in the refrigerator, paused. She pretended as if nothing had happened and winked at Patrick, saying, "Mr. Hopper, I just want to be nice to you. Are you a masochist and would like to be abused?"
Patrick was speechless.
Although she promised verbally to make sushi, what was brought to the table was incompact rice balls.
On such a huge difference, Patrick raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this what Mrs. Hopper could make?"
Amelia said considerately, "I remember you're having a potential Japanese partner named Mr. Natsume, right? Then just enjoy the Japanese cuisine and wish you success in the partnership."
Patrick knocked on Amelia's head with a spoon, joking, "Wow, Mrs. Hopper, you're really a qualified sales woman."
Amelia remained the smile and said, "Enjoy the sushi and let me prepare the miso soup and the grilled eel over rice for you."
After that, she walked into the kitchen. With the salmon sushi on hand and the smell of the grilled eel, his heart was warmed.

With one hand supporting his chin, Patrick finished all the sushi. Amelia felt happy and asked, "How is it?"
"Nice," Patrick replied flatly.
Amelia continued to flatter him, "You haven't showered yet, right? Let me prepare the bath tub for you."
Patrick once again felt strange. He looked at her, which made her feel a little guilty, asked, "Mrs. Hopper, you..."
Amelia made a prompt decision and said, "Mr. Hopper, I need your help!"
Patrick was a little surprised, but he couldn't help smiling.
Stubborn as she was, Amelia asked him for help, and this feeling of being relied on was not bad.
"Tell me." Patrick said lightly.
"There is a parcel of land bid by Apex, but the Ministry of Lands hasn't issued the permit yet." After a pause, she cautiously looked at Patrick's face, and she added, "I think Mr. Hopper is very powerful, and you could work it out, right?"
Patrick seemed to be in a deep thought and lifted Amelia's chin, making her face look obvious and saying, "Mrs. Hopper, please make it clear. You want me to help Apex, or Daniel Phillips?"
Amelia was stunned and pretended to know nothing, saying, "Why Daniel?"
Patrick narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't think that I'm not well-informed. Your dad is sick and Daniel is the only one who is the most likely to take over. You dined with him tonight, right? I thought it might be something else, but didn't expect that he would turn to you, his ex-girlfriend, for help."
Amelia didn't ask how Patrick knew about her previous relationship with Daniel since he could knew everything as long as he wanted.
She looked at him and said word by word, "Since you know that I am his ex- girlfriend, you must have known that I was abandoned by him, right? I hate him so much, then how can I help him? I just want to help Apex. Don't get me wrong, Mr. Hopper."
Patrick slightly curled his lips and smiled at the hypocrisy of Amelia, saying, "Mrs. Hopper, you've never cared about how was the company doing, but why have you started worrying about it during Daniel's promotion period?"
Amelia looked innocent and said, "I'm seized by a whim..."
Patrick sneered and didn't care about it.
"Forget about it." Amelia let go of his hand.
Seeing her standing up from the chair and turning around to leave, Patrick asked slowly, "Is this how you behaved when requesting my help?"
Amelia looked back, and the beautiful figure trembled slightly under the wall lamp, asking, "What do you want, Mr. Hopper?"
After thinking for a while, Patrick said with an evil smile, "I want Mrs. Hopper to make me happy on her own initiative. If you want me to help you, just fly me to cloud nine, okay?"
Hearing this, Amelia smiled helplessly. She really should thank Patrick for this idea. Originally, she was worried about how she should repay him. Since he wanted to take it as a sex deal, why not?
Looking at the clear smile in Amelia's eyes, Patrick suddenly felt a little annoyed and felt that he had made a wrong decision.
But he didn't have time to think about which part as Amelia came to him in two or three steps, with a charming smile approaching to his ear, and said in a seductive tone, "Mr. Hopper, I've never made a man happy. Can you teach me?"
With a shiver, Patrick was amused by Amelia's words and the "little brother" got erected. However, under his strong desire, he couldn't explain why he was angry. Sure enough, he didn't wrong her.
Because Daniel will finally benefit from Patrick's assistance, not Apex!
"What was so good about the man who lived off women? Was it worth it for her to do this?" Patrick thought.
