Huxton stared at Amelia's flat belly. He frowned and said, "But we won't be able to keep him in the dark for long..."
Upon hearing this, Amelia was delighted. "I'll take that as a 'yes'?"
Huxton rubbed the tip of his nose and said gloomily, "If Mr. Hopper found out that I had lied to him, he would kill me for sure."
The corner of Amelia's lips curled up. "Thank you, Huxton. You really are my best friend!"
Huxton thought, "Oh please!"
Huxton's face had a cloudy expression. Maybe he felt guilty when he thought about hiding it from Patrick. Amelia deliberately reached out to touch her neck and asked, "Huxton, is Patrick a beast? He almost bit my neck off! Hmmm, did he treat Sissi like that too?"
Huxton blurted out, "No!"
Although she had already conjectured that, Amelia still felt somewhat bitter after learning the truth herself.
She blinked and said to Huxton seriously, "Look, this is differential treatment! Maybe Patrick really wants
Sissi to give birth to a baby for him. I am just a substitute for her when she was not there. Now that his goddess is back, so stop dragging me into this, okay?"
It had to be said that Amelia had done such a good job brainwashing him. Huxton cleared his mind and responded, "Alright!"
At Land of Fragrance.
It was almost evening when Huxton took Amelia back.
As soon as the car stopped outside the small garden, Amelia was startled by the scene in front of her.
Numerous men in black surrounded the house.
Some of them were familiar faces. Amelia, who was sitting in the back seat, immediately looked at Huxton and asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know." Huxton's looked very serious.
Other than him, the only person who could mobilize the men in black was Mr. Hopper, but he did not know his intention at this time.
Amelia felt a strong sense of unease. She held her seat with her hand and said, "Is he going to imprison me again?"
Huxton inwardly said, "That's impossible." He unfastened his seat belt. "Madam, I'll go check it out first. You stay here."
Amelia nodded in agreement.
After Huxton opened the door and got out of the car, he soon found a problem. When the man in black not far away saw him, he did not even greet him. It had never happened previously.
He walked forward calmly and the two men in black who guarded both sides of the garden raised their hands at the same time and shut him out of the door.
A hint of killing intent flashed across Huxton's face. This group of people had been his direct subordinates before this!
The sun had not yet set, and the sunlight was reflected into Huxton's eyes. He said aggressively, "Let me in, I want to meet sir!"
The man in black was impressed by his imposing manner, but he had to obey Mr. Hopper's orders, "Sir had infomred that he doesn't want to meet you!"
"Bullsh*t!" Even though Huxton was a slow-witted person, he could not help but become furious at this moment.
He quickly got rid of the two men in black who were in the way, and rushed straight into the garden.
"You can't go in!" The men in black around him attempted to block Huxton when they saw him trying to break in. They ended up getting beaten badly by Huxton.
Amelia's heart ached when she heard this. She was now working in the real estate industry. It was not difficult for her to find out which high-rise this golden key with embedded cherry blossoms belonged to.
As it turned out, Patrick had gone there...
"Madam." Under Amelia's darkened gaze, the man in black added, "Sir also mentioned that if you don't dismiss Huxton, then you don't have to go into the house anymore."
"Is that so?" Amelia replied impassively. Her heart was aching to a point that she was numb.
Patrick was forcing her to choose again between him and Huxton!
The conversation between Amelia and the man in black was all heard by Huxton. Hiding the feeling of emptiness, Huxton walked to Amelia with dozens of machine guns following him.
He stopped in front of Amelia, who had been paying attention to him. Reluctantly, Huxton voiced his decision, "Madam, please sack me."
Looking at his miserable facial expression, Amelia could not help but feel the tingling feeling in her nose. How could she abandon Huxton for the sake of herself at a time like this? He was the one who was with her when she went through the toughest times.
Amelia pretended to be relaxed and said, "Now you get it? This is the real him! He will remove anyone who is in his way without mercy..." Suppressing the urge to laugh miserably, Amelia said to Huxton, "Let's go!"
Just as she was about to turn around and leave,
Huxton's slightly choked voice sounded again, "Madam! Just fire me!"
"No way!" Amelia said decisively.
Turning around, she grabbed Huxton's arm and drew closer to him. She continued, "Do you know how many times I've compromised since I'm married to him? I'm telling you, I didn't do it for you this time. I just want to fight for myself! Don't flatter yourself by thinking I'm reluctant to leave you!"
