Chapter 573
"What are you doing here?" Looking at Sissi's wellfitting teacher uniform, Patrick's eyes could not help but be
filled with snostalgia.
To be honest, Sissi was beautiful, but no one would have the thought to flirt with her.
It was not because they did not want to, but they did not dare to. Her dignified composure and her profession
determined that she was a person to be treated with respect.
Sissi could not help but smile at the confused look on Patrick's face. "I'm here to say thank you."
To her, his focused eyes were the sas before, just like when he had listened to her when she replaced his
class.
Upon hearing this, Patrick tossed his phone aside and narrowed his eyes. "Thank me? For what?"
Sissi blinked her charming eyes, her voice as soothing and clear as the running river. "Thank you for having the
doctor over to treat me. And... for personally taking care ofall night." However, Patrick seemed to have been
touched in his sore spot. He immediately becirritated and even embarrassed. "Are you done? If you're done,
then leave!"
Sissi brushed her hair and asked slightly sadly, "Patrick, do you have to speak toso rudely? We haven't seen
each other for so many years... Don't you think we should sit down and have a talk?" Patrick was stunned. His
expression quickly turned cold. "I don't think there's anything for us to talk about."
Sissi slowly approached him. But she did not get very close and stopped at quite a distance away from him. She
said politely, "Since you don't want to talk, I'll leave after saying this..."
Patrick's resumed his cold look and did not say anything, but he did not chase her away either.
Sissi lowered her head slightly and choked out, "You're married, but | owe you a blessing of congratulation."
Patrick stared at her. His words were laced with bone-deep contempt. "Is that how you actually feel?"
Sissi's eyes glinted in the light, and there was a layer of watery mist in them. "Yes."
Patrick held back his anger and uttered word after word, "I've received your blessing. | won't see you off!"
Sissi then added in a faint voice, "And, I'm sorry... | shouldn't have given up so soon back then..."
Given up? Given up what? Maybe others did not understand, but the two people in the room were well aware of
what she meant!
The table creaked under his force when Patrick smashed his fist on the table, which was an indicator of how
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmuch resentment there was in him. He said without thinking, "What's the point of saying these now? | was forced
to marry a woman | didn't love by my father!"
Hearing this, Sissi felt happy at first, then she said with guilt, "I'm sorry | let you down..."
Patrick got up and strode towards Sissi at once. He did not stop until he was so close to her that his feet touched
her toes. "Other than saying sorry, don't you know anything else!"
Sissi uttered painfully, "Besides this, | don't know what else to say for you to accept it....."
"Get out!" Patrick could no longer tell who he was enraged at. He wanted to drive this woman as far away from
him as possible, but he also wanted to get back at her for everything that she had done to him over the years!
"Don't get angry, I'll leave..." said Sissi in a feeble voice. But the more she acted this way, the more she
reminded Patrick of those bittersweet memories.
When Patrick heard her speaking so cautiously, his heart was clogged up. There was a voice in his heart that
kept condemning him, telling him that he should not be so fierce to her. She was his former teacher after all!
Just as Sissi turned to leave, Patrick blurted out, "Why did you and your husband divorce?"
Sissi stopped and answered without looking back, "We're not fit for each other."
Patrick fixed his furiously cold gaze on Sissi and asked, "Then why did you cback to Northville?"
Sissi's voice trembled slightly and muttered, "My home... is here."
Patrick pretended to be casual and asked, "Then why did you send your resto Roxxon Corporation?"
Seeing that Sissi was about to speak, he warned her sharply, "Listen, I'll give you one last chance. If you make
up simpractical excuse to please me, we'll really cut ties from now onward!" "I..." Sissi looked both
depressed and eager. After a long pause, she said, "Because you're at Roxxon..."
At Land of Fragrance.
"I was forced to marry a woman | didn't love by my father!" "Because you're at Roxxon..."
The pain that shot through her heart was was nothing short of soul-crushing!
Amelia had bitten her lower lip until it was tinged red with blood, but she could not feel hurt from it and
continued to listen to what was happening on the other side of the phone.
After that, Patrick and Sissi's voices gradually lowered down. Were they embracing each other at the moment?
Amelia could not help but wonder since the truth about their feelings was revealed. Slowly, her hand with the
phone slipped down from her ear. Amelia pressed the shut-down button sullenly, flung the phone onto the
bedside table, and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought... Of course, she would not know how many times Patrick
had tried to call her on this day!
He would take note of each the dialed and heard the prompted tone of ‘the number you have dialed is shut
off* in his heart!
Patrick lost count of how many futile calls he had made. He declared with murderous intent, "You don't want to
pick up, do you? I'm not going to wait on you!" The first day.
When Amelia went to work, she left her phone at hout of carelessness...
After getting off work and arriving back home, she felt that there was no need to turn on the phone. So, she left
it alone.

Amelia pouted her lips mindlessly and put it back in place. She then got out of bed, washed up, and went to work
as usual.
Before going to sleep, Amelia suddenly remember she needed to make an appointment with a client the next
day, so she plugged the phone with its charger.
During the process of charging, it was still turned off. And Amelia, who was covered in a blanket, drifted off to
sleep.
The third day.
Before Amelia went to work, she finally found her conscience and turned on her phone which she had neglected
for days.

Her delicate face turned frigid. Amelia's mood, which had been somewhat relaxed, turned terrible at once again.
She ignored these missed calls, grabbed her phone and bag, then went down the stairs.
When she passed by the living room, Huxton had the landlines receiver in his hands with the microphone
covered. He said to her, "Madam, it's from sir."
Amelia nodded and calmly replied, "You can take it."
