Chapter 1008
As for today's dinner, it was still the product of Amelia and Patrick working together.
Amelia witnessed Patrick's improvements, but cooking required long-term perseverance, so she did not say
anything.
She decided to keep on observing Patrick. How would he behave tomorrow, the day after, the week after?
Could he hold on?
After dinner, Patrick put on the apron and rubber gloves just as he did yesterday and was ready to wash the
dishes.
While Amelia was feeling gratified, she also worried that Patrick could not really clean the dishes, so she said, "I'll
do the second round."
Patrick happened to have washed his last pair of chopsticks. After hearing Amelia's words, he quickly washed off
the foam on the chopsticks with clean water and put it in another basin.
He stopped, then he looked at Amelia and said, "I'll leave the rest to you."
Amelia smiled and answer, "Sure, thank you for your hard work."
Patrick took off his rubber gloves and apron one by one and said, "I'm heading out for a moment."
"You're going out? Where are you going?" Amelia asked.
From her memories, Patrick would not have any social events at night.
It was been so long that she almost forgot that Patrick could be really busy sometimes.
She calculated the date in her heart and noticed that it was not a weekend, so she denied the thought of him
meeting Sissi although it was not impossible.
The next second Patrick shocked her with his answer, "Don't overthink. I'm not meeting Sissi or any other
woman."
Amelia was stunned for a moment and her eyes seemed to be asking, "How do you know what | am thinking?"
Patrick raised his eyebrows and held back the words that he wanted to say. Her eyes really betrayed her all the

He composed himself and said, "I'm leaving, | think I'll be back soon."
Seeing that he had a really good performance tonight, Amelia politely greeted him, "Letsend
you off."
Of course, Patrick would not refuse. "Sure."
The two of them cto the door, as she watched Patrick putting on the shoes she was about to bid goodbye to
him...
Out of a sudden, Patrick turned and asked, "Before | leave, is there anything you wanted to tell me?"
"Goodbye?" Amelia did not know what he wanted to hear, so she did not say it firmly.
Patrick said in a deep voice, "Besides this, is there anything else?"
"Be safe along the way?" Amelia asked again.
Patrick curled up his lips in self-mockery. She did not even intend to tell him about Milton's visit today, let alone
who was the one that borrowed her car.
He held back the urge to sigh and thought that the third twas the charm. So he asked again, "Are you sure
there's nothing else?"
Amelia thought for a moment and said shyly, "Hey, can | ask you for a favour?"
Patrick nodded. "Go ahead."
"I've run out of the sanitary pads. Can you bring a few packs forwhen you're on the way back?"
This was one of her tricks. She was asking Patrick to buy things that she did not need at the moment.
"Got it."
Although he did not hear what he wanted, he still took Amelia's request seriously although it was just a small
matter.
It was not until Patrick's figure disappeared from her sight that Amelia raised her hand and closed the door.
Thinking of the scene of sending Patrick off, Amelia could not help but feel a sense of comfort.
Not only that, she even had an impulse to wait for him to return hin the living room.
After driving out of the underground garage, Patrick called Owen through his Bluetooth headset.
On the phone, Patrick requested his older brothers" help by using his authority in the Northville police
department. He ended the calfina harry and rushed to the nearest police station. s
Two hours later.
When Patrick was greeted by the night wind and escorted out by the police chief,
he turned around and said to the man, "Director Lin, thank you for your help
tonight."
Director Lin patted his chest and said that this was his job. He also mentioned that Patrick should cto him if
he ever needed help in the future.
"| really don't hope that | would need to pay a visit to the station so often."
Just one simple sentence from Patrick had embarrassed Director Lin so much that his face turned red.
However, as a leader, Director Lin has what it takes to be one. He had a really strong mentality. Hethen said, "Mr.
Patrick, it's getting late. Please be safe on the road..."
"I will." A second ago, Patrick had a slight smile on his face. The moment he turned around, his eyes immediately
darkened.
Through the professional equipment and professionals in the police station, he had found out all the fingerprints
on the top of the cigarette.
One was his, and the other was...
Patrick's face tightened. When he got in the car, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
After a while, a lazy but mocking tone was heard "Am | dreaming? Is the person who is callingright now is Mr.
Hopper of the Northville, Mr. Patrick of the Hopper Family?"
"Enough chitchat." Patrick stared
straight out of his window as if he could see the annoying face of the
other party. "Kaiden, if you want to play revenge gt a for your cousin, Cat me. Don't do anything to
Amelia!" s
Kaiden went silent on the other side of the phone. Suddenly he laughed qut loud Hether said, "It's midnight Why
isn't Mr. Patrick asleep yet? What is he talking about? Why do | not understand a single thing?" s
"You will understand." Patrick's voice was even colder than the night. "Otherwise,
you wouldn't have approached Amelia on purpose."
Kaiden's laughter stopped.
After a while, he sneered and said, "What benefit can | get if | get close to her? Why don't you say that she's the
one who approached me?"
Patrick's lips floated. "You approach her because she's my wife. Do you need me
to explain to you what you're trying to achieve by doing so?"
Kaiden paused and said, "To be honest, I'm very confused why did you choose to calltonight? Did Amelia say
something to you?"
"We keep no secrets," Patrick said.
Kaiden snorted and said sourly, "It seems that the woman who told you all her secret hid the fact that she lent
Kaiden was just too young. He was not wise enough to be running circles with
Patrick.
"Frck!"
Patrick held his lips tightly and it took a lot of effort for him to hold back the curse that he was about to let out.
"She did! She toldeverything. That's why I called you to tell you to stop troubling her!"
Kaiden, who was on the other end of the line, secretly thought that since Patrick had already known that Amelia
had lent him a car, he might as well open it up.
It would be best to anger Patrick and hope he would die from a panic attack.
