NovelEnglishChapter 1119
Patrick could understand the reasoning, but hearing it from Sean upset him anyway.
He did save Sean's life, so did Sean have to treat him like this?
Was he saying that saving Sean's life was less than John's achievement in destroying the Lynds?
Patrick got further upset the more he thought about it n.ove.lx.o, but he never said it out loud.
Sean, however, seemed to notice that Patrick was moody anyway, and he softened his tone. ’I admire
John as a great man. I would have liked him to work for me ever since he took down your cousins,
though that's impossible now after all that's happened.”
Patrick remained silent.
Yes, John was extraordinary, but was it not a little too cold to tell a rival that in the face?!
Fortunately, the servants arrived with lunch and left it on the table of the veranda.
"How about eating out here? The air is good,’ Sean asked Patrick.
’You already asked your servant to bring it out, and you're asking me now? Pointless, isn't it?’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSean smiled, but he did not deny it.
Both men sat at the table and started eating.
The breeze that gently brushed novëlx.o against their faces was more than a little relaxing.
However, Patrick suddenly yelped halfway through. ’Oh!"
‘What's wrong?" Sean asked worriedly.
‘What about Cordy and Dicky?1' Patrick asked, feeling very guilty just then.
Sean was speechless—and here he thought he was choking!
Still, he said, "Cordy has work to do, but she'll come downstairs to eat once she's done, and I had the
servants save her something. As for Dicky, he's having lunch with John at the hospital.’
"Oh." Patrick nodded, realizing that he had made a fuss over nothing.
Still, he soon remembered something else. novëlxo ’So, Sean."
“Yeah."
’I was wondering if I should formally propose to Cordy.’
Sean pursed his lips but replied quietly, "That depends on your sincerity."
’I think marriage is once in a lifetime, and I want it to be more formal."
’Then, propose."
’But I don't know how to surprise her," Patrick muttered dolefully.
' Are you asking me to brainstorm with you?’ Sean raised a brow.
‘No way,’ Patrick chuckled. 'You're all brawn and no brains. You know nothing."
Sean did not argue.
He was definitely not great with romance, though he could take his time to learn.
Cordy finally showed up when they were almost finished with lunch, novëlxo and Patrick called out to
her excitedly, ’ Are you finished with work, Cordy?"
’Yeah.’ Cordy nodded. "But I have some bad news."
‘Please don't give me a heart attack," Patrick said nervously, constantly worried that she would leave
him in an instant.
Still, Cordy explained, 'I'm taking a trip back to North City for work."
‘What about me?" Patrick pouted as if he was already abandoned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm’You're staying here to recover. The travel would wear you down."
’But..."
’Just stay here for now," Sean interjected. "Your health matters most."
’Well, how long would you be gone?" xo Patrick asked miserably, knowing then that resistance
was futile.
’I'll make it back as soon as I can.’
'You mean, it won't just be a couple days?" Patrick asked, a little agitated just then.
Cordy sighed. ’I was reminded at the meeting that Starstream's spring season roadshow is in two days,
but there are still many things that aren't done yet. xo Many notable figures in fashion have been
invited, so our brand name would be ruined big time if we mess up. That's why I have to go back for a
couple days and hold the fort.
’Then, after it's done in three days, there will be a gala in the evening to thank the VIPs I've invited.
There's another fashion gala the next day-l've turned them down too many times before and have
finally agreed to it since our name would be included on the event's title.’
Patrick was scowling harder the more he listened. He asked miserably, "So, how many days is that?"
'One week, more or less." xo ’That means I won't see you for one week?" ’We can keep in touch
through video calls."
