Amelia looked puzzled. "What on earth do you plan to do?"

Leah narrowed her eyes. "Amelia, all I can say is if you can't help me to ask Shawn out, I can't guarantee what disgraceful means my family would use to put me on Patrick's bed."

"No matter how cautious Patrick is, it's impossible for him to not go out for the rest of his life. As long as he steps out of the house, the Dollar Family would have a way to get close to him. By the time... if I were to bear his child, how are you going to deal with it?"

Was there anyone who was kind in this family? Amelia felt a trace of despair from the bottom of her heart.

On the sofa, Patrick looked coldly at Leah who was chatting with Amelia, suppressing his anger. It was not as if she did not know that Leah had other intentions on him. Why is she chatting pleasantly with her! He looked at her and wanted to give her a lecture, but he could not free himself from chatting with the elders. When Patrick turned around again, he saw that only Leah was sitting in the same spot. As for Amelia... she had already disappeared.

Right at this moment, the hostess, whom Patrick was worried about was already at the inner circle of the mansion.

Seeing that there was no one around, Amelia sat down leisurely on the wicker chair beside the goldfish pond, she then took out her mobile phone and dialed Shawn's personal number. Drip! Drip! Drip!

Amelia waited patiently while thinking about what she wanted to say, when she heard an uncertain "hello" from the other side of the phone, she knew that what she had been preparing had gone to waste. After a while, Shawn calmed down his disordered breath and asked, "Are you... Amelia?"

It was as if a lifetime had passed...

When she heard Shawn's voice, this was the feeling that Amelia felt in her heart.

Seeing that she remained quiet, Shawn asked melancholy, "Amelia, are you listening? Or... did you called the wrong person?"

When Amelia came to her senses, she immediately said, "No, you are the one I wanted to call!"

Shawn did not ask Amelia what she wanted at the first moment. Instead, he said, "We haven't

contacted each other for months, have we?"

After letting out a low "hum" sound, Amelia felt embarrassed, "Shawn, I'm sorry to cause you trouble by accidentally taking your phone last time."

Regarding that matter, Shawn said in a deemphasized manner, "It's fine. That was way back then."

After that, he asked hesitantly, "I read the news yesterday and it said that you are Patrick's legal wife. I was shocked and wanted to call you to ask about it but I was afraid that it might trouble you, so I didn't call."

Amelia sighed softly, "It seems that our thoughts are surprisingly similar. I was also afraid of bringing you unnecessary trouble, so I've not contacted you after that matter."

"Then, you and Patrick... is that true?" Right now Shawn would still convince himself that this was just a dream.

"It's true. It was a marriage behind closed doors and we didn't tell anyone about our relationship. What happened that day might be a whim of his." Amelia said.

After some time Shawn replied. "Now I know why he was in a hurry to shut me down back then. After that, I heard from Ursula that Patrick was willing to stop because you asked for my mercy, is that true? Thank you..."

Amelia pursed her lips and said, "All this happened because of me. What I did for you is not worth mentioning compared to what you've sacrificed."

"By the way, there must be something for you to call me out of a sudden right?"

"The truth is... I wanted to ask that will you be returning to Northville recently?" Amelia asked.

Shawn flipped through his notebook and say, "After a few days, my team and I will return to Northville for a conference. What's the matter? Do you want to meet up?"

The last sentence was like a joke instead. However, Amelia answered "Yes, let's meet up the day when you are here at Northville."

Hearing Shawn's rapid breathing, Amelia decided to bring out the main topic, "But the condition is, I'll bring my cousin along with me. She's a big fan of yours and she wants to meet you after hearing that I know you. So, can I bring her along?"

She thought that Shawn would reject her. However, Shawn agreed almost immediately "Of course, there's no problem at all."

Amelia was happy but confused at the same time. "Are you sure? Aren't you troubled?"

Shawn laughed, "I've been used to this kind of things. When I went back to my hometown to see my parents, all the people in the community would come over to chat with me and take pictures of me. Some of them would even insist on staying back at my house for dinner and even overnight. Can you believe it?"

Amelia laughed and said, "I thought you always live on the cloud. I didn't expect that you would be such down-to-earth."

Hearing this, Shawn was offended, "Amelia, can you stop mocking me?"

Amelia felt that it was about time, so she mentioned the meeting again. "Then it's settled then! Since it's Christmas day, according to the custom, I'll still say Merry Christmas to you here! I hope that you can have a lovely Christmas! By the way, please wait until I contact you again."

"Sure, I understand." Shawn understood Amelia's intentions. If he accidentally bumped into Patrick again when he called or sent a text message to Amelia, it would not be as simple as just blacklisting him this time.

After Shawn, who was in another city, hung up the phone, he could not stop smiling. Seeing this, Ursula was confused, "Shawn, who are you talking to? Why are you so happy?" "I'm talking to someone you could never thought of." Shawn tried to keep him guessing.

"Huh?"

Ursula racked his brain and thought about it for a long time. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shawn playing with the "Water of Life" water bottle. His eyes widened and he said incredulously, "You... did you just talk with Amelia?!"

Shawn interrupted leisurely, "That's right, it's her."

"Are you crazy?" Ursula rushed to Shawn and snatched the "Water of Life" bottle from him. He scolded Shawn fiercely, "Did you forget how much you had to sacrifice to meet that woman last time? Do you remember how much you had to go through to keep yourself out of trouble?"

There was no trace of guilt on Shawn's handsome face. "All I know was Amelia and I was innocent. As for the reason why I escaped, shouldn't you know it better than I do?"

Ursula paused for a moment and said, "I admit that if I hadn't contacted Amelia in time and told her about your affairs, you would have disappeared from the entertainment circle. But this just shows that you should not mess with this woman anymore. If she can let you go, she can make you suffer as well."
