Chapter 734
"Yea." Sissi tucked her hair behind her ear and said uneasily, "We're heading to the grilled fish restaurant across
the street. We're going there right now!"
Hearing Sissi, Lindsay said, "Handsome, don't listen to Sissi's nonsense. We were supposed to have a meal at the
restaurant behind you! She only said that because she saw that woman beside you, so..." "Lindsay!" roared Sissi,
who was so angered she let out her fury with her.
Seeing Sissi's hot temper, Pauline instantly dragged the shocked Lindsay behind her and warned, "Stop talking!
Just listen to Sissi!"
Amelia took in the commotion as it unfolded before her leisurely, and thought, "So this is how it is..."
The reason why these two women jeered at her behind her back and even plotted against her was to get back at
her for Sissi's sake.
Amelia then turned her attention to Patrick, waiting for his decision.
As Patrick gazed at Sissi's embarrassed expression, his heart softened and said, "Since we chose the same
restaurant, then let's eat together."
Amelia's heart skipped a beat. She gaped at
Patrick's side profile in disbelief. What would becof her position when Patrick invited Sissi to lunch?!
No matter how wild the flames were blazing in Amelia's eyes, she could not change the invitation that Patrick
had just offered.
Sissi hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she could not resist the temptation to be with Patrick. She nodded
and said, "Then I'm sorry for bothering you two."
Even at this point, Sissi was still clueless that Amelia had already known Patrick's past with her. Sissi thought she
could get over this by playing dumb, but she was awfully wrong.
The moment they heard Patrick's invitation for Sissi to a meal, Lindsay and Pauline's faces both lit up at once.
After all, Patrick looked like a great man in all aspects. If they could curry favours with him in Sissi's name, their
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfuture would look bright and boundless!
"Sissi, don't keep him waiting. Let's go in!" The two of them were getting eager and urged Sissi.
Sissi then shook her head in furtive. She did not know if this was a blessing in disguise, for if Linday had kept her
mouth sealed, she definitely would not be able to stay.
"Well, let's just wait and see," thought Sissi. She was looking for an opportunity to test Amelia's capability after
all!
Once the five people took their seats, Amelia was in no hurry to take over the menu handed over by the waiter.
Instead, she put one hand on her cheek and looked at Sissi with interest, "I forgot to ask. You are...?"
Patrick's brows furrowed.
"I'm Sissi Roberts. You can just callSissi," she replied.
In total awareness of the look Patrick was giving her, Amelia continued pretending to be confused. She blinked
her eyes and fired questions at Sissi with a kind tone. "Sissi, since you look so cultured and well- educated, are
you perhaps a teacher?"
Patrick let out a heavy cough.
But Amelia ignored him and continued to smile at Sissi, making Sissi a little flustered.
Right away, Lindsay responded in her stead, "Yes, we are all lecturers for a university. You have sharpeyes!"
A sense of powerlessness rose in Sissi's chest. She had kept reminding Lindsay to stop talking, but why did she
still have so much to say?
After adjusting her mood, Sissi continued gracefully, "Yes, | teach literature at a university. Nice to meet you, Ms.
Ramsay."
This self-introduction was done superbly.
After Amelia returned her words of greetings, she acted surprised and asked, "Wait, how do you know my family
name? If | remember correctly, it's the first twe've seen each other, right, Ms. Roberts?" The smile on Sissi's
face becwooden at once. Just as she was thinking about how to answer her, Patrick spoke for her, "I've
introduced you to Ms. Sissi in private before, so of course she knows who you are."
This time, it was Amelia's smile that froze.
Patrick was giving Sissi a way out from this embarrassment!
Amelia was wanting to rip off Sissi's foxy deception of a facade!
Relieved, Sissi then nodded. "Yes. Patrick often talks toabout you."
As she spoke, she cast a glance in Patrick's direction, hoping she had not made a mistake with her reply.
Patrick's charming face remained expressionless. He knew clearly that Amelia just wanted to mess with Sissi, so
he could not help but speak out for
Sissi.
However, Amelia followed up with questions that were closely related to Sissi's reply. "He often talks about me
with you?"
"Yes." Though she was reluctant to admit it, Sissi still nodded in honesty.
Amelia's dazzling eyes brightened right away. "Then how did he address me? Did he call'dear'? 'Darling'?
'Baby'? Or..." "Amelia!" Patrick's face was frosted. Had she had enough?
In the face of Amelia's question, Sissi's mouth twitched when she replied hesitantly, "He usually calls you..."
"Ah!" Lindsay's eyes swept over the empty dining table. Then, she raised her voice, sounding somewhat
complaining when she said, "Can we chat while we eat? I've been standing and teaching since morning I'm so
thirsty and hungry!"
"Okay!" For the first ttoday, Sissi was grateful for Lindsay's interruption. She raised her hand and called for
the waiter. After that, she announced to everyone at the table, "Everyone, please have a look at the menu. Order
anything you like. It's my treat today."
As Amelia flipped through the menu, she said thoughtfully, "It seems that lecturers earn quite a lot since Ms.
Sissi can take the bill without thinking much. Can | know which university you're teaching at?" "What are you
asking this for?" Patrick chimed in, his tone frigid.
"I'm just curious. Can't | ask?" Under such suppression and pressure of Patrick's powerful
aura, Amelia was surprised that she could still laugh during such a circumstance.
"Then put away your curiosity and order your food!" ordered Patrick.
Upon hearing her, Lindsay immediately burst out into a peal of laughter as it solidified her theory about Amelia
being an unsightly mistress!
"So he's this protective of Sissi?" thought Amelia.
Was he afraid that Amelia would find trouble with Sissi after finding out about the address?
Though Amelia was maintaining a forced smile, her hands were shaking the menu from the strength she was
gripping it.
Touched by Patrick's defence for her, Sissi put on an air of generosity and told her, "Patrick, it's okay. Lettell
Ms. Ramsay."
Patrick stayed silent, giving Sissi a look that showed his diasgreement.
But Sissi wanted to appear nonchalant and said, "I work at Loan Oak University. It's a green campus, the
teaching atmosphere is great, and the students are polite with each other as well. Ms. Ramsay, you're welcomed
to visit us any time."
Loan Okay University, she said?
Well then, Amelia had made a mental note about it.
Amelia added, "Then, Ms. Sissi teaches student from which year?"
Sissi replied, "First-year students."
"Which class?"
"Uh."
"Amelia!" Patrick yelled her by her nagain.
In response, Amelia threw a sidelong glance at him and pretended to be puzzled. "Do you like my nthat
much? Why don't | give up my nand give it to you?"
