Hearing this, Patrick's expression darkened. "Huxton, you really are the best butler in this country!"
On the other side, there were only two people left in the room, Amelia and Owen.
Seeing that there were sadness in her eyes, Owen came to her and said softly. "Amelia, are you sad because Huxton has officially resigned from being the butler?"
Amelia admitted, "Yes."
Owen asked, "Do you remember why were you unhappy with this back then?"
Amelia looked back at him and said, "Of course, I remembered that Huxton was expelled by Patrick for some unnecessary reasons. I have been working so hard since then to bring him back."
Looking into her eyes, Owen could not help but smile. He acted as if he was pampering Amelia and said, "Then why didn't you stick to the end just now? If you made a fuss about it, I'm sure I can assist you and Patrick would have agreed to let Huxton stay."
A trace of confusion flashed past Amelia's eyes. "When you mentioned the wedding gift, Scarlett's eyes were glowing and when you invited Huxton to work in the police station. I heard the determination in his words, by then, whether he could return or not was no longer the main point. The most important thing is he would be able to live a good life from now on."
After a pause, she continued on saying, "At first, I did all of these for Huxton. Now that he has a better choice, why should I be involved? Besides, it is not like we'll never meet again, all I need is to just call him whenever I wanted to meet him in the future."
At the end of her words, the confusion in her eyes faded and it was replaced by a smile of relief.
Owen then looked at Amelia with admiration in his eyes. He admired her persistence and her being open-minded. At the same time, he also felt worried for his brother.
He could tell that Amelia was one persistent lover, once she decided on the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, she would never let go. But this had him thinking what would Amelia do if Patrick had made a mistake one day?
By then, his gaze fell upon the handsome man who was walking towards them. Owen stopped thinking and asked, "Brother, have you sent them away?"
Patrick snorted in a relaxed and pleasant way with one hand in his pocket.
Owen saw that there was none of his business anymore, so he got up and said to Amelia and Patrick, "It's getting late. I should leave now. Patrick, come over. I need a few words with you."
"Give me a moment!" as he answered Owen, he turned and went upstairs. After climbing the stairs, he opened the door of his bedroom and plunged into it.
Owen crossed his arms around his chest and asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Amelia shrugged her shoulders, signally that she did not know what was happening either.
"Oh, by the way, Amelia." Owen thought of something and said, "I've arranged everything you asked me to do on the phone. I'll immediately inform you if there's any news from the C-River."
Amelia thanked Owen gratefully. "Thank you so much, Owen, I really appreciate it!"
"You're welcome," Owen said as he continued to ask, "By the way, do you need me to help you deal with the Environmental Protection Bureau?"
Amelia shook her head and said, "There's no need to, I wouldn't want to act rashly and alert the enemy now."
Owen nodded and gave up on his suggestion.
When Patrick appeared again, he saw holding a bulging bag in his hand. He glanced at Owen and
said, "Let's go."
Owen turned back and smiled at Amelia. "Goodbye, see you soon." NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Amelia took the initiative and sent them to the entrance.
At this moment, Patrick turned and his eyes were signaling Amelia to stop there. He said, "Sent us here will do, I have things to discuss with Owen."
"Okay. Be careful on your way back Owen."
At the end of her words, Amelia turned back and closed the door. She acted as if she was the owner of the house out of her subconscious.
As soon as the two men walked out of the room, Patrick turned his body and passed the bag in his hands into Owen's arms.
Owen asked with a smile, "What's this? Is it a gift for me for being a peacemaker?"
Patrick said, "Open it and have a look yourself."
Owen put his hand into the bag and pulled out a skirt. He could still recognize it at his first glance although it was something that he had bought long before. It was Nora's dress.
Confused, he asked, "Why is Nora's dress here?"
"You can ask Nora yourself when you're home,"
Patrick said lightly to hide what he had done.
Anyway, the hole torn by him had been repaired. As long as Owen did not put it under the microscope, he would definitely not notice anything about it.
Seeing that Owen carefully folded the dress and placed it back into the bag, Patrick impatiently urged, "Didn't you have something to tell me? Go ahead!"
After placing the dress into the bag, Owen raised his head and asked, "This time, you're really taking her seriously right?"
"Why did you say so?" Patrick asked while narrowing his eyes.
Owen teased him, "You got jealous of your butler, didn't you?"
Patrick stressed angrily, "I did all that for Huxton, I did it so that he can have a better future!"
Owen then spoke in a reciting tone, "Oh, my little brother, it turns out that you are so kind. You're so keen on helping others, so..."
The veins on Patrick's forehead popped out as he interrupted, "If there's nothing else, you can leave now."
Owen immediately straightens up the next moment, "Well, I just want to say... I've been with Amelia for too many times that I found that she is soft and
timid on the surface, but in fact, the fire burning inside her should not be underestimated, so I hope you will not be playing with fire and burn yourself one day. Do you know what I mean?"
Patrick frowned and said, "You don't have to worry. Everything about her is under my control."
Owen burst into laughter. "Well, being confident is a good thing, but..."
Noticing the expression on Patrick's face, Owen tactfully changed the topic. "I'm going back."
"Please do," Patrick replied and his handsome face appeared unruffled. It was hard to say if he had taken Owen's advice at all.
As soon as Owen's figure disappeared in front of his eyes, Patrick turned around and rang the doorbell.
A moment later, the door opened. Amelia blinked her bright and affectionate eyes at the man at the door. By then, she found that he was dispirited. She then asked timidly, "Did Owen went back already?"
Patrick pulled her out from the door without saying a word, he then pressed her against the wall outside the house and raised her arms above her head. After that, He kissed her passionately that she could not say a word.
What Patrick did made Amelia dumbstruck.
It was undeniable that Owen's reminder had awoken the fear in Patrick's heart.
No one knew better than him that Amelia could always take things easy, that was why he was in hurry to tell Amelia that she would always be and only be his through close contact!
