Chapter 1007
A minute ago, Audrey, who wanted to lock the office door after cleaning it, was blocked by a handsman.
Audrey was shocked at first and did not recognize who he was. After coming back to her senses she greeted
respectfully, "Mr. Hopper!"
Patrick saw Audrey and told her that he was here to pick Amelia from work.
As a result, the conversation above happened.
After hearing Audrey's answer, Patrick asked with a heavy tone, "You mean, she left the company immediately
after work?"
Audrey nodded her head and replied, "That's right."
Patrick frowned. He had finished his work in advance just to pick Amelia off work at the Apex Construction
Corporation. And yet, he missed it.
Amelia was really happy as she finally got her car back after so many twists and turns.
As she was having a good mood, she took a trip to the supermarket and bought singredients to prepare for
a feast and then she went back hjoyfully.
Due to the fact that she spent stin the supermarket, Patrick was already hbefore she was.
When Patrick opened the door, he noticed that the shoes that Amelia wore this morning were not on the shelf.
Immediately a bad feeling aroused.
The next second, Patrick heard a loud horn behind him.
He subconsciously turned around and look through the door that had not been closed yet. He saw a sports car
parked outside the garden's fence.
From the open window, Patrick saw a pretty smiling face. It was Amelia who was in the car.
She was looking at him.
Amelia must have horned to attract his attention.
Patrick unconsciously stepped out as if he was charmed by Amelia's lovely smile. He walked down the steps,
through the garden, and headed for her.

When he reached her passenger door, Patrick opened the door and got in. He then asked, "Did you go to meet
your friend?"
"Yeap." Amelia did not expect him to cin, but it did not matter. She did not care at all.
Patrick looked at her and pretended to ask casually,
"Who is it that borrowed your car and needed you to get it back yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Amelia's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down. "Why did you think that I'm the
one who went over and took it back? Why can't it be that my friend had sent it over to me?"
Patrick then asked, "Send it over? To where?"
"My company!" After saying this, Amelia keenly noticed that Patrick's face sank, and she quickly changed the
subject. "I haven't finished yet. I've made an appointment to meet him at my company but something cup
so I had no choice but to take the initiative to find him."
"Oh, is that so?" Patrick answered as the coldness in his eyes faded a little.
Seeing this, Amelia did not felt relieved. Instead, she started to panic. Did Patrick know that she went to Kaiden's
place? Otherwise, why would his expression be so strange?
But who cared!
The truth would speak for itself.
Amelia gathered herself up and said, "Lettell you. After | got my car back, | went to the supermarket and
bought singredients. Just take a look at what | bought.
| was worried about how should | carry them in the house. Who knows that | will run into you when | reached
home. So, | decided to give you a horn and ask for your help.
Also, there's a lot of food in my trunk and I'm afraid they can't be finished moving at once, so can you please
helpbring sof it in first so that | can drive my car directly to the garage?"
"Sure." Patrick answered.
Upon hearing this, Amelia said with a big smile, "Then I'll thank you in advance!" "Not at all." Patrick withdrew
his glance from her and turned to open the door.
Just as Patrick was about to get off the car, he noticed that a cigarette was thrown on the foot cushion of the car.
It was a cigarette butt!
It was an evidence of what has happened.
Patrick turned around to look at her. His eyes looked as if he was had caught someone red-handed.
Amelia was confused by his gaze. She could not help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Patrick's chest heaved as if he was holding back something. "Do you smoke?" Amelia blurted out, "No." "That
makes sense then."
Made sense?
Made what sense?
A series of questions popped up above Amelia's head.
Just as she was about to ask Patrick, she saw that he had turned his head and stepped out of the car.
Before getting out of the car, Patrick kicked the cigarette butt off the car with his toes.
After he got out of the car, he
pretended that he had carelessly et
dropped something the the
down to pick
bent
the cigarette butt on
the ground and put it into his pocket.

Amelia noticed him bending but he was in the car's blind spot, so she could not
see what he was doing.
"What are you doing?" She could not help asking.
Patrick had already completed his
plan without anyone knowing. When he heard Amelia's question he
tuned his face and said to he casually, "There's a stone stuck in my shoes and I'm trying to get rid of it."

"Oh, did you get rid of it then?" Amelia asked with concern.
Patrick signalled her that he had got rid of it and pointed at the trunk. "Open the
boot so | can get carry those things for you."
"Sure." Amelia quickly pressed the button of the trunk, and the lid of the trunk popped open.
Patrick immediately walked over.
He took a closer look and found that Amelia placed a large basket in the trunk. Everything she bought was in this
basket.
This was really the wisdom of a housewife.
By doing so, she could prevent the ingredients from falling and spilling when the
car was speeding on the road.
If it were him, he would have thrown everything into the trunk and drove back without consideration since he
was never the one who washed the car.
Patrick reached his hand out and easily lifted the basket from the trunk.
Amelia who was watching him through the rear mirror dropped her jaw in awe upon seeing this.
When she saw that Patrick was prepared to lift the whole basket to the door just like this, she could not help but
ask, "Aren't you a little too strong!"
As soon as the word "strong" cout of Amelia's mouth. And when Patrick was the one who was being praised,
Patrick's mood skyrocketed. He was thrilled and satisfied. s
But the condition was that he had never discovered the cigarette butt.
Thinking of the thing that was dropped in Amelia's car, Patrick felt very depressed.
He really wanted to seize Amelia and ask her who dropped it there. However, he was afraid that she would
regard him as a foul man and ghosted him again. As for the origin of the cigarette butt, he could only investigate
it privately.
