Chapter 914
Patrick's face turned gloomy upon hearing this.
His heart raced as Amelia spoke. He glared at her with his black eyes, and his eyes were bloodshot from overexertion!
Sissi was also stunned. Her fear grew greater than joy when she heard that Amelia was willing to divorce.
If Patrick and Amelia divorced because of her, would she have an easy time in the coming days?
Unless Patrick was willing to confront the Hopper Family for her!
But Patrick was too young to stand against his grandpa, and their future would be very worrying.
Sissi could not help glancing at Patrick. When she saw his determined face, the worry in her eyes slowly faded away.
Forget about it. After so many years, he was still willing to do anything for her. She was also going to risk it all.
She would go through fire and flames as long as she could be with him!
Sissi was thinking too much this time. Patrick was not ready to sacrifice so much for her!
He even regretted using his marriage to threaten Howard. Well, he was shooting himself in the foot at this moment!
"Amelia! You can't do that!" Fortunately, Howard did not agree.
In the awkward silence, Amelia twitched her lips and said. "Dad, in fact, I have been thinking about a divorce for a long time, but I can't find the right time to tell you. Now it's just in time. Patrick and
Sissi obviously appreciate each other. You might as well just fulfill their wishes and let me go."
Let her go...
"The last sentence might as well be your emphasis!" Patrick said sarcastically, and his voice echoed to Amelia with an uncontrollable rage.
Amelia raised her eyes and glanced at him. Her eyes were obviously dry, but in Patrick's eyes, they seemed to be full of tears. After a blink of an eye, only then did he realize it was just his illusion.
She stared at him coldly and said, "What I want is also what you want. If you let me go, you'll be setting yourself free, isn't it? "
"Humph! I think you're trying to get a divorce so that dad can go ahead and deal with Sissi!" Anyway, Patrick did not want to admit that Amelia did not want to be with him anymore!
Amelia sneered upon hearing this. "It's dad’s choice on how he would want to deal with Sissi later and your business on how to handle it. I just want a divorce now!"
Patrick clenched his fists so hard that they creaked. If it was not for Howard who stood in front of Amelia, he would have already pressed her to the ground and did what he liked to her. "Amelia, do you want to divorce me? I'm telling you, that’s just your wishful thoughts!"
"You don't want to divorce me because you want me to be a straw man for you and Sissi? Patrick, you are so selfish! You treat me as a nominal wife, but secretly had child with Sissi!
Now, dad wants to deal with Sissi, and you threaten him with our marriage! Do you think I will compromise? To share a husband with Sissi and cry and shed bitter tears in order to persuade you to stay? I think you are the one who is having wishful thoughts!"
After Amelia finished speaking, she turned to look at Howard, her face was filled with grief. She pleaded, "Dad, I've already made myself clear. I hope you..."
Howard quickly interrupted Amelia and said, "Amelia, wait for a minute! Come with me, I have something to tell you!" Howard held Amelia's hand. He subconsciously held it tightly, as if she would disappear at any time.
Amelia's bones were aching, but she did not say a word.
Howard led her to a place where Patrick and Sissi could not see them and could not hear what they were talking about. Then he said, "Amelia, I can understand your feelings now."
Amelia hung her head slowly and looked very obedient, but Howard knew that she was stubborn.
He sighed and asked gently, "Amelia, just tell me the truth. Do you...still love Patrick?"
Amelia did not answer directly, "Is it the matter of love?"
Her answer made Howard conclude that she was still loving Patrick. He said hurriedly, "Of course it matters! Amelia, have you ever thought that divorcing Patrick was what Sissi wants! Since you're still loving Patrick, you should stay persistent!"
"Persistent?" Amelia shook her head with a bitter smile. What she did not say was that she had been holding on for too long and could not hold on any longer.
Howard licked his lips anxiously and said, "Amelia, please take it as this is my ulterior motive. I really don't want to see Patrick fall for Sissi again. So let me beg you, please don't give up, otherwise, the Hopper Family will never live a peaceful life!"
Behind them, Sissi, who could not heartheir conversation, was as anxious as a cat on hot bricks. "Patrick, what do you think Uncle Howard is saying to Ms. Amelia?"
Patrick did not return a single word, his eyes were fixated on the back of Amelia. The lingering pain and hatred in his eyes were almost turning into tangible threads to ensnare Amelia.
D*mn it! He had outdone himself this time, he had helped her instead!
Sissi did not pay attention to Patrick for a moment. She said flatteringly, "In fact, it doesn't matter even if you really divorced. I am willing to stay with you for the rest of your life! I think as long as we prove ourselves with our actions that we are truly in love, no one, including your family, can separate us!"
This sentence pushed Patrick's button. He lowered his eyes slowly and looked at Sissi. He opened his lips and said, "You're willing to stay with me forever?"
Sissi repeated, "Yes! I am!"
But he did not want to! A voice sounded from the bottom of Patrick's heart uncontrollably!
At the same time, Howard was still trying to
persuade Amelia. He did not even hesitate to say, "Amelia, do you want me to kneel down and beg you? Okay! I'll do it now!" Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
As soon as Howard bent his knees, Amelia immediately reached out to get him up. She said painfully, "Dad, don't force me, okay?"
Howard took the opportunity to say, "Amelia, if you trust me, you can leave this matter to me. I'll give you a satisfactory answer!"
Amelia frowned. "It's not that I don't believe in you. What's done is done. If we continue to insist on it, this will not end well for the three of us!"
Howard said firmly, "Amelia, just believe me. You can't divorce! If you divorce, it will really be a mess! Out of the sake of the relationship between me and your father, our companies going through thick and thin together. Can you promise me not to divorce Patrick first, okay?"
