NovelEnglishChapter 956
Under the pressure caused by Patrick who demanded an answer, Amelia closed her eyes in an attempt to
regulate her breathing before she said, "I went Dutch with you because at least | won't feel like I'm sharing your
money with Sissi. | don't need a man who takes care ofas well as another woman at the stime!"
Panting, awhile later he uttered, "How about today? How could you say that you don't needto take care of
you after | baked a cake for you?"
Amelia glanced at him indifferently, "You're the one who asked to follow me. | had never asked for your help!"
Hearing this, Patrick's expression darkened. He had finally witnessed her cruelty.
Amelia continued, "Fine, if you want to count this in as well, then tellhow much | need to pay you per hour."
"Money again?" Patrick's gaze was enough to frighten her as he muttered, "If you want to payback, you have
to give according to what | ask for."
Meeting his intensified gaze, Amelia asked, "What do you want?"
"I want this!" Patrick reached out his hand which was all this while holding money to pull her head from behind
so that her head would be lifted high enough to meet his lips. In the next second, he had already planted a soft
kiss on her lips before she could even react.
Amelia was bewildered by his sudden kiss. Even the passers-by were stunned at their kissing scene.
It was fortunate that Patrick was someone goodlooking. Otherwise, not only his behavior was not romantic at all
in public's eyes, he would be regarded as a rogue!
Just as Patrick withdrew himself from her tempting lips, she uttered, "B*stard!"
Patrick glanced at her casually. He felt so much better after venting his anger and energy to her.
"Are you mad?" His gaze lingered on her lips affectionately as he asked the obvious question.
Amelia did not reply him. She forcibly wiped her mouth with the back of her hand in protest of his behavior.
Patrick was entertained by her provocation, "You're the one who insisted to payback. | did no more than
what you asked for."
Amelia was infuriated to the extent she lost her words. She struggled to free herself from his
restraint in hope that Patrick would let her go.
Patrick said, "Ha! Now you want to go. You don't think that a kiss can simply payback the tthat | had

"Are you serious?"
"Of course | am!"
Patrick thought for a moment and reached his conclusion, "In this case, | should have kissed you as many times
as possible before you call a police."
"ou..."
Amelia's eyes widened in shock. Her mouth was being shut by Patrick's lips again.
She punched his shoulder frantically in contention of his shameless behavior.
Any other people would have been frightened at the thought of involving police.
Hold on... Amelia realized that she had completely forgotten the fact that Patrick's identity and background in
Northville was the best shield he had!
After all, they were on a public street. Patrick did not prolong the kiss. His lips brushed off hers before he
withdrew himself.
Even so, such a kiss was enough to draw attention of every passers-by.
When he had enough for the second make out, Patrick looked into her furious eyes as he murmured, "How many
times had | told you to close your eyes during kissing? Why would you never listen?" Amelia cried out, "Enough
you! Let go ofnow!"
Seeing that her eyes reddened, the truth was Patrick could feel his heart aching for her. However, he remained
expressionless in facing her.
He handed two thousand dollars to Amelia and began bargaining, "Take the money and I'll let you
H go.
"The money is yours!" Amelia refused to accept the money.
Patrick's voice turned bitter as he threatened, "Don't makedo something unspeakable to you in front of
everyone now!"
Amelia glared at him resentfully, "Can you stop being so shameless? You... Hold on!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she realized that Patrick had reached out to her lips again. She hurriedly
said, "I'll take the money, alright?"
Giving Amelia one last look in regret, Patrick kept his words and let go of her.
Amelia who was no longer held in restraint by Patrick had completely given up the idea of fleeing. She knew that
this man would manage to catch her no matter how fast she ran away from him. Upon rubbing her arm which
was in pain as a result of his forceful grip, she asked again, "Are you sure that you don't want the money?"
"Hmm?" The prolonged response given by Patrick was sending a warning of threatening Amelia.
Amelia had no other choice but to take the money.
Amelia tried to convince herself that she would seek for another opportunity to return him the money.
Patrick could not help feeling amused as he saw Amelia taking back the money with great reluctance. He betted
no one else would be desperate to get rid of money like she did.
The truth was Amelia did not mean to get rid of her money. She just wished that she could get used of keeping a
safe distance from Patrick.
But he would not give her such opportunity.
Instead, he had thousand ways to force her into compromising. Shon him!
Do he really thought that she dared not call Gramps Hopper?
Upon thinking of his grandfather, Amelia could not help feeling frightful.
Even if she managed to contact Gramps Hopper, most probably Patrick was going to stand against him had he
cto his way.
She could already foresee that she would set The Hopper Family into chaos.
"Do | want to let such a tragedy happen?"
Amelia asked herself deep down.
"Stop daydreaming. Hurry up!"
Amelia looked adorable especially when she was lost in her thought. Patrick could not resist the urge to ruffle her
hair.
Amelia immediately dodged away from his hand as if she was afraid to cinto contact with something strictly
forbidden. Patrick's hand was left hanging in the air.
Upon realizing what Patrick was up to, Amelia tucked her hair behind her ear before she glared at Patrick, "Can
you stop touchinglike this? | don't like it at all!"
Patrick hid his clenched fist behind him and said indifferently, "It's not like | had never touched you before." He
wondered how could Amelia forget that a moment ago he had just kissed her.
"It was in the past!" Amelia emphasized, "If you touchlike this again, I'll make sure | move out from Land of
Fragrance immediately and stay away
from you!"
Patrick did not seem moved by her threaten. He asked faintly, "Are you sure that you don't mind hurting dad?"
Amelia exclaimed agitatedly, "You're the one to be blamed if this happens! You leavewith no choice!"
"Fine!" Patrick brushed his hair irritably before he said, "I promise | won't touch you like that again! In exchange
for this, you have to stay at Land of Fragrance. You're not allowed to go anywhere. Do you hear me?"
Patrick was trying to play with the words. In fact, he had just agreed to not touch her "in that way". He would
keep his promise and touch her in other ways!
"Deal?"
Seeing that Amelia's eyes were full of hesitation and doubt, Patrick sneered, "Do you need a written document
for this?"
