"Then I... no, what should she do?" Bai Amelia almost revealed herself.
Lucy did not expose the self- esteem that Amelia kept and instructed, "Just do what you are supposed to. Cook, eat, clean the house, sleep. If you don't think he is irreplaceable, it's very stupid to change yourself to meet his requests."
It was midday when they left coffee house. She went to the supermarket and bought some meat, vegetables and fruits. Then she rode her Little Sheep back to the Land of Fragrance.
The Land of Fragrance was the joint name of the entire villa area. The water of the Kwon River was drained into the artificial streamlet in villa area. On weekends, many parents and their kids float on the stream in the breeze.
She opened the door with the key and cook noodles with soybean paste.
After the quick lunch, Amelia read some books in the bedroom and fell asleep unconsciously. When she woke up, it was already sunset.
She wasn't in a hurry to prepare dinner. Instead, she got a vacuum cleaner from the storeroom and began to clean the rooms one after another.
Just as Amelia concentrated on cleaning the house, there was a subtle sound of the key being inserted into the keyhole downstairs. A tall figure gradually approached the second floor.
In a minute, the sharp eyes focused on the busy lady who was cleaning the study. When he glanced at the book in her hand, the man snapped, "Hell! Who allowed you to touch my things!"
Amelia suddenly froze and couldn't believe that her husband was back! At this moment, she couldn't stop feeling excited and joyful.
She calmed herself down with her back facing him, and then turned back and said with a pleased smile, "The study hadn't been cleaned for long. See, the books are stained with ash..."
Patrick didn't care about her explanation at all and stepped forward, grabbing away the book in her hand.
Perhaps because he had overexerted himself, an envelope fell from the book and landed lightly beside Amelia's feet.
"Don't touch it!" Patrick thought of giving orders, but it was late.
Amelia bent down and picked up the envelope. The envelope was dusty and she had no idea what were there inside. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Before she could analyse more, the envelope was grabbed away by Patrick. He stared at her with a frosty face as if she had peeped into some of his secrets.
They were in a stalemate. Amelia wanted to revive the atmosphere and pretended to ask casually, "Why so nervous? A love letter?"
Unexpectedly, she failed to get the answer and Patrick became more and more annoyed. He squeezed out two words from his tight teeth, "Get
out!"
Amelia felt her smile so embarrassed.
Patrick ran out of his patience and repeated, "I told you, get out!"
"Right away." Amelia whispered and was about to quit this fight. She was in a hurry to take the vacuum cleaner out but her elbow touched the inkstone and it fell down accidentally!
"Bang!" The inkstone was broken into pieces...
Patrick was completely irritated and locked her accident-cause arm with great strength as if he was going to crush it.
Amelia whispered "Oh my" and apologized in panic, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean it."
Patrick was agitated and his eyes were like a dark river and told, "Without my permission, you are not allowed to step into the study!"
When she thought of how he had cherished the envelope and compared how he treating her with madness, Amelia felt bitterly disappointed.
Crouching, Amelia wanted to move away the pieces, without hurting Patrick's feet.
But he treated her as a plague and pushed her away quickly and shouted, "Are you deaf or don't you understand what I'm talking about? Get out!"
