Chapter 652
Sissi managed to avoid his hand from reaching the noodle. She frowned and replied in frustration, "I know that
you're not used in eating junk food... | think it'd be better for you to go back." Hearing this, Patrick lowered his
voice as he said, "Go back? Where do you wantto go?"
Sissi glanced at him and said softly, "Where else can it be? Of course it's your own house."
With his eyes darkened, Patrick abruptly grasped her chin to force her into looking at him. He spoke decisively,
"Are you now chasingaway?"
Sissi's gaze trembled upon hearing this. She did not think that she had confidence to be mad at him.
If it was in the past, she could sulk at her will.
However, this tshe was afraid that the moment that she said 'yes', he was going to turn around and leave
without hesitation.
Sissi forced a smile. She reached out to hold his hand which was now holding her chin. When she spoke again,
her tone sounded relaxed, "I'm just kidding. I've already made you noodle, why would | chase you away at this
time? Moreover, you're the one who foundthis house. Hence, you're the
head of this family."
The phrase 'head of this family' sounded very subtle. Patrick abruptly let go of his grip on her. He glanced away
with his lips pursed.
Meanwhile, at the Land of Fragrance.
When Amelia returned hwith her mind preoccupied, she saw that the slippers belonged to Patrick were still
lying on the shoe rack neatly. Her eyes widened. She wondered if this man had planned not to return home
anymore.
"Ms. Amelia, you're back." A balanced meal had already been served on the table by Scarlett. As soon as she
heard the door opening, she hurriedly cover to greet Amelia. Turning around, Amelia nodded in
acknowledgement as if there was nothing absurd, "Hello, Dr. Scarlett."
Scarlett said enthusiastically, "You have cback at the right time. I've just gotten the dishes done. Do you
want to have your meal now? Or do you want to wait for Mr. Patrick? | can heat up the food for you later."
A trace of guilt flashed across Amelia's face as she said, "I'm sorry. I've already eaten before | cback. I'm
sorry that | had forgotten to call and inform anyone at home."
Scarlett frowned when she heard the first half sentence of Amelia. But as soon as she realized that Amelia had
regarded her as part of the members in this house, Scarlett could not help feeling delighted, "No worries! I'll
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtkeep the dishes for Mr. Patrick."
"Sure." Amelia scratched her head sheepishly. She dared not to tell Scarlett that even Patrick might not be
returning hfor dinner too.
The next second, she seemed to think of something and asked, "By the way, didn't Huxton say anything to you
when | was yet to be hjust now?"
Since Huxton had fixed a hearing device on her, supposedly he should have already known that she was going to
have dinner with Jonathan.
In this case, even if she had forgotten to call and tell Scarlett, Huxton could have simply told Scarlett himself so
that she did not have to prepare for Amelia's portion.
"You're talking about him?" Scarlett pointed at the room upstairs and rolled her eyes as she continued, "I heard
the men in black saying that he had not woke up since last night after he got himself drunk. Such a useless
fellow!"
Amelia stunned for a while before she broke into a laughter, "This can only tell that he's indeed a special man.
You shouldn't have to worry for him." Realizing the counter meaning of Amelia's words,
Scarlett said with her face flushed, "What are you talking about? Whether he's a special man or not has nothing
to do with me."
Amelia pursed her lips and smiled, "Yea yea, | understand! You two are not together. There's no hugging or
kissing between the two of you. Am I right?" Scarlett's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly explained in panic,
"That was just an accident! Don't you dare to make any rumor of it, do you hear me?"
If that was an accident, this could only say that it did happen before. In that case, how could Scarlett accuse her
of spreading rumors?
She shook her head in silence. Amelia tried to comfort Scarlett who was embarrassingly frustrated, "I got it. You
don't have to be panic..."
Scarlett was still anxious, "Who's feeling panic? I'm just trying to make you understand. | have nothing to do with
Huxton Fuller."
Amelia tried to stop her hence she replied in favor of her words, "Okay okay. | got it alright?"
During their chaos, the door of one of the rooms upstairs abruptly opened. Someone stuck out his head from the
room with his face puzzled after long hours of sleep.
He shook his head vigorously in attempt to make himself awake. The next second, his face turned expressionless
again.
The commotion had led Huxton downstairs. He first glanced at Amelia's helpless face before he looked at
Scarlett's endless chattering. He could have more or less tell what had happened, hence he said coldly, "Dr.
Scarlett, please don't disturb madam!"
His words had led to both women glancing at him simultaneously.
"Hey, Huxton." Amelia spoke in relief.
Seeing this, Huxton's tone was getting colder when he asked Scarlett, "Had you done preparing dinner?"
Scarlett's face was still flushed with heat after being teased by Amelia, she dared not to look at Huxton at all.
She glanced away sheepishly and said, "I've done it long ago."
Huxton replied in hurry, "Since you're done, please go back now."
"What did you say?" It was obvious that Scarlett was annoyed.
Huxton looked at her coldly and said, "You're too noisy here. Your presence will only disturb Madam."
"Huxton!" Amelia was stunned when she realized that he was trying to chase Scarlett away.
Although she was not sure of what was going on, she decided to say something anyway,
"Dr. Scarlett is not an outsider, you..."
Huxton interrupted her, "Madam, had anything happened when you were out today?"
Amelia subconsciously answered his question before she wanted to continue her words, "Oh, I'm good."
As Amelia was replying Huxton's question, Scarlett took the opportunity to flee the scene.
From the corner of his eyes, Huxton noticed her tearing eyes when she left. Despite feeling tensed, he had not
asked her to stay.

Amelia had no other choice but to admit, "It wasn't her fault. I'm the one who teased her first. All she did was
just explaining to me."
Huxton remained silence as if he was unmoved by Amelia's explanation.
