Chapter 97
Standing on the step which was one step higher than Amelia, Patrick suddenly leaned down and smelled her
neck.
Amelia resisted the urge to avoid him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Patrick raised his head and stared at her clear eyes, saying, "Haven't you drunk today?"
Walking through the living room, Amelia said, "I'm not in a bad mood every day."
Patrick followed her up. His lazy voice was full of tiredness, which seemed to be peevish. He said, "Mrs. Hopper,
have you had dinner yet? May | take you to a candlelight dinner?"
Amelia thought that Patrick was strange and asked, "You don't blme for hurting Mom?"
Patrick glared at her reproachfully and said, "Mrs. Hopper, can you stop makingangry?"
Since Patrick gave in, she did not have to make them a mess, so she said, "Mr. Hopper, I've already dined before
| cback, so..."
Patrick's eyes flickered with anger and he said, "So, you're not going for the candlelight dinner with me, huh?"
Since Amelia had to ask Patrick for help, she would do her best to please him, so she smiled and said with her
thin lips curving into a crescent- shaped shape, "Shall we dine at home? Letcook for you. What would you
like?"
Patrick almost got drowned in her tenderness and sweetness as he could read her intention to make him happy,
which greatly met with a man's vanity, so he asked, "Can you make Japanese sushi?" Amelia was in a bit of a
dilemma as a lot of ingredients are needed for sushi. She regretted not agreeing with him to dine out.

"You can't make it?" Patrick asked again.
Amelia nodded and said, "No, | can! Mr. Hopper, please wait for a moment. I'll do it right away."
She agreed on all his requests, which made Patrick uncomfortable. He asked, "Mrs. Hopper, have you made any
trouble that needsto sort it out for you?"
Amelia, who was searching for ingredients in the refrigerator, paused. She pretended as if nothing had happened
and winked at Patrick, saying, "Mr. Hopper, | just want to be nice to you. Are you a masochist and would like to
be abused?"
Patrick was speechless.
Although she promised verbally to make sushi, what was brought to the table was incompact rice balls.
On such a huge difference, Patrick raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this what Mrs. Hopper could make?"
Amelia said considerately, "I remember you're having a potential Japanese partner named Mr. Natsume, right?
Then just enjoy the Japanese cuisine and wish you success in the partnership."
Patrick knocked on Amelia's head with a spoon, joking, "Wow, Mrs. Hopper, you're really a qualified sales
woman."
Amelia remained the smile and said, "Enjoy the sushi and letprepare the miso soup and the grilled eel over
rice for you." After that, she walked into the kitchen. With the salmon sushi on hand and the smell of the grilled
eel, his heart was warmed.
With one hand supporting his chin, Patrick finished all the sushi. Amelia felt happy and asked, "How is it?" "Nice,"
Patrick replied flatly.
Amelia continued to flatter him, "You haven't showered yet, right? Letprepare the bath tub for you." Patrick
once again felt strange. He looked at her, which made her feel a little guilty, asked, "Mrs. Hopper, you..."
Amelia made a prompt decision and said, "Mr. Hopper, | need your help!"
Patrick was a little surprised, but he couldn't help smiling.
Stubborn as she was, Amelia asked him for help, and this feeling of being relied on was not bad.
"Tell me." Patrick said lightly.
"There is a parcel of land bid by Apex, but the Ministry of Lands hasn't issued the permit yet." After a pause, she
cautiously looked at Patrick's face, and she added, "I think Mr. Hopper is very powerful, and you could work it
out, right?"
Patrick seemed to be in a deep thought and lifted Amelia's chin, making her face look obvious and saying, "Mrs.
Hopper, please make it clear. You wantto help Apex, or Daniel Phillips?" Amelia was stunned and pretended
to know nothing, saying, "Why Daniel?"
Patrick narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't think that I'm not well-informed. Your dad is sick and Daniel is the only
one who is the most likely to take over. You dined with him tonight, right? I thought it might be something else,
but didn't expect that he would turn to you, his ex-girlfriend, for help."
Amelia didn't ask how Patrick knew about her previous relationship with Daniel since he could knew everything
as long as he wanted.
She looked at him and said word by word, "Since you know that | am his ex-girlfriend, you must have known that
| was abandoned by him, right? | hate him so much, then how can I help him? I just want to help Apex. Don't get
Patrick slightly curled his lips and smiled at the hypocrisy of Amelia, saying, "Mrs. Hopper, you've never cared
about how was the company doing, but why have you started worrying about it during Daniel's promotion
period?"
Amelia looked innocent and said, "I'm seized by a whim..."
Patrick sneered and didn't care about it.
"Forget about it." Amelia let go of his hand.
Seeing her standing up from the chair and turning around to leave, Patrick asked slowly, "Is this how you
behaved when requesting my help?"
Amelia looked back, and the beautiful figure trembled slightly under the wall lamp, asking, "What do you want,
Mr. Hopper?"
After thinking for a while, Patrick said with an evil smile, "I want Mrs. Hopper to makehappy on her own
initiative. If you wantto help you, just flyto cloud nine, okay?"
Hearing this, Amelia smiled helplessly. She really should thank Patrick for this idea. Originally, she was worried
about how she should repay him. Since he wanted to take it as a sex deal, why not? Looking at the clear smile in
Amelia's eyes, Patrick suddenly felt a little annoyed and felt that he had made a wrong decision.
But he didn't have tto think about which part as Amelia cto him in two or three steps, with a charming
smile approaching to his ear, and said in a seductive tone, "Mr. Hopper, I've never made a man happy. Can you
teach me?"
With a shiver, Patrick was amused by Amelia's words and the "little brother" got erected. However, under his
strong desire, he couldn't explain why he was angry. Sure enough, he didn't wrong her. Because Daniel will finally
benefit from Patrick's assistance, not Apex!
"What was so good about the man who lived off women? Was it worth it for her to do this?" Patrick thought.
