Chapter 1010
Patrick squinted at Kingston, who was bowing and apologizing on the TV and said lightly, "I saw his news before.
This is just a replay."
"Yeah!" Amelia stared at the TV and said with relief, "I knew. Kingston's apology would be at 9 o'clock in the
morning but | was in a meeting then, so I couldn't watch it. Now that I can finally see it, it feels good!"
Patrick said, "Well, if you wanted to watch the live stream, you can wait till the weekends. If that's not satisfying
enough, | can ask Kingston to extend his apology."
Kingston had already been forced to bow and apologize in front of the media for a whole week. If Patrick were to
extend it, Kingston, who was extremely arrogant, would probably choose to end his life.
Amelia thought for a moment and said, "I think it's enough for him. After he knows that you are my backbone, he
would never dare to take advantage of the Apex Construction Corporation ever again."
Patrick nodded. He knew that Amelia would always show mercy when she thought it was appropriate.
Although people with this kind of personality would always be left with nothing at the end. But things were
different for Amelia. He was willing to be her indestructible shield.
After watching Kingston's apology and ensured that Patrick was hsafely, unconquerable drowsiness came
and she felt sleepy immediately.
She yawned, picked up the sanitary pads that Patrick bought for her, and was ready to head upstairs.
Of course, before going upstairs, she did her responsibilities of a good housemate and said to Patrick, "Don't stay
up too late. Goodnight."
It was just a common way to say goodnight to each other, but Patrick took it as an invitation.
He immediately got up with a sleepy expression and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. | won't be staying up late."
Under his obscenity, Amelia shivered and immediately say, "I... | was wrong just now. You'd better rest later!"
When she finished speaking, she left the scene as fast as possible.
Patrick looked at her escaping in a hurry and could not help but raised his lips. But when he thought of Milton
and Kaiden, the smile on his lips disappeared instantly.
For Amelia, Kaiden was at most a guy talented in architecture that she wanted him to work for her.

However, when it comes to Milton, he would need to think deeper about it. It would not be too much to say that
he was Amelia's family.
He hoped that Milton's return to Northville this twas simply to have a quick catch up.
The next day.
Amelia was still dreamy when she felt a heat source at her back. It was as if she was leaning against a furnace...
She struggled to wake up from her beauty sleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw an arm on her quilt.
Without a doubt, the person lying next to her must be Patrick.
Thinking that Patrick has slipped in while she was asleep made her unhappy. She thought to herself that she
would ask a locksmith to change the lock when she had the chance.
Not only that, Patrick had also shared a quilt with her. What was more, he had the habit of being on his birthday
suit as he was sleeping. No wonder her back was so hot!
With a calm expression, Amelia first removed Patrick's hand from her quilt and then got up from the bed.
She turned around and saw Patrick sleeping soundly.
"Well, he should continue on sleeping and | shall make my escape!" thought Amelia.
Unfortunately, things went contrary to her wishes.
Patrick was able to sleep soundly because he was sleeping with Amelia by his side. At this moment, when she
decided to leave, he opened his eyes as if he had sensed something and it scared Amelia.
"You're awake?"
Amelia did not know what had happened. He was the one who sneaked into her room without her consent. Why
was she acting like she was the one guilty here?
Under her intense gaze, Patrick propped himself up slowly from the bed.
The quilt slipped down to his lower abdomen along with his movements, revealing his healthy skin, his abs and
his chest muscles...
Amelia finally knew the reason she would be nervous as soon as she saw him. Because he was so strong that she
had a feeling that she could not escape no matter what.
Patrick woke up and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll pick you up after work tonight."
Amelia did not expect that the first sentence he would say was this but then she quickly reacted and said "Have
you forgotten? I've taken my car back. From today onwards, | can drive myself to and off work." s
What she was trying to say was that there was no need for Patrick to do all this for her.
Patrick looked at her and said nothing about Kaiden, "I don't mean to interfere. | just want to bring you along to
see Dad."
"Dad?" Amelia muttered uncertainly because she didn't know which father Patrick was referring to.
Patrick said weakly. "Your dad!"
Amelia nodded and said affirmatively, "Alright then, let's go together. You're being really kind."
Patrick shook his head and expressed his true thoughts in a deep voice, "It's not that I'm being kind, it's that |
wasn't attentive enough in the past. I'll pay more attention to it in the future!"
Amelia then said in an alienated but
polite tone, "That's...my dad. You don't need to force yourself to do
anything for him. What's more
anything farthi
you've hired the best doctors fér him. | can't thank you enough for s
that alone."
Patrick said in a deep voice, "Anyway, he's my father-in-law after all."
Amelia did not dare to linger in his gentleness for too long. She hurriedly said, "Well, let's not talk about this
now! | have to go to work. See you in the afternoon."
At Apex Construction Corporation.
As soon as Amelia stepped into the office, Audrey told her that Patrick had come
for her yesterday afternoon.
Amelia was stunned after hearing this. "Then what did you tell him?"
"| said President Ramsay left as soon as she got off work," Audrey replied honestly.
Amelia immediately asked, "What did he say then?"
"Mr. Hopper didn't say anything. He just turned around and left," Audrey
answered.
Amelia felt that although everything seems normal, something was fishy at the
stime. At this moment, she felt a little uneasy.
But her uneasiness was relieved in a while as her workload started to overwhelm
her.
She then heard Audrey saying,
"President Ramsay, this morning, the
chief manager of the Eastern District
project called in. He said that he wants to cto our company as soon as possible and talk toyou about the
details and operation plan for the Eastern District project."
s
Amelia narrowed her eyes. When Apex Construction Corporation related to the C
river pollution, no one from the Eastern District project bothered, not even a phone call was made.
But after Kingston appeared on the screen the day before, the Eastern District
project manager wanted to meet her immediately.
So it seemed that the government already made their choices!
As for the investors, Amelia had Sawyer's contract in her hand. She was not afraid
that she would not be able to explain it.
Amelia felt more relaxed than ever at the thought of this.
