“Are you drunk?”
Twinkle couldn’t believe that this man with a pair of unfathomable eyes would talk to her so frankly.
She felt happy but also shocked.
Thinking again about what he said, she started feeling conflicted as well.
Yeah, what are they going to do?
If they got together, their parents would be sad and the Meng family would also be sad.
If they separated, then he would be sad.
Twinkled was conflicted. She didn’t even think about how to talk to Dawn and tell him to continue being siblings like before.
After all, the Meng family did this much for her!
This is true friendship!
“Don’t think of other men in front of me!”
Patrick suddenly knit his eyebrows, looked at her menacingly with squinted eyes. Perhaps realizing that his tone was too heavy, Patrick rolled his eyes and softened his voice. “If you haven’t thought about it yet, I’ve thought of an idea for you. Do you want to hear about it?”
Looking at his gentle demeanor and remembering everything that had happened before, Twinkle knew he was pretending.
He wasn’t this easy to talk to.
He was evil and tricked her in things every time!
But—
She couldn’t help it and wanted to hear what he had to say!
“Tell me about it!”
She deliberately leaned against the bedframe, raised her chin, and took the other pillow and hugged it in her arms, appearing superior just to remind him to not treat her as a fool!
Patrick first bit his lip, appearing troubled, then was silent.
She smashed a pillow towards him. “Tell me!”
He caught the pillow and hugged it in his arms, copying what she did. He appeared cute, which made Twinkle drop her guard against him.
“Ahem, I thought that since we are engaged and you’ve lived at my place for a few days, so whatever happened between us during those days is forgivable. This is under the premise that we are engaged.”
He spoke slowly while keeping an eye on the expression on her face.
“So to overcome the current predicament completely, the only solution that I can think of is turning things into reality that it will be too late to change anything by then!”
Twinkled looked at him innocently and paused for two seconds after he spoke.
Suddenly, she jumped up from bed and hurled onto him, smashing his arms, legs, and back. “You bastard! You are such a rascal! You…”
He easily caught her hands and pulled her small figure into his arm. “Don’t cause trouble. Be good!”
“Let go of me!”
“How did I come to like a shrew like you?”
“Who are you calling a shrew?”
“Either early menopause, or menstrual syndrome. You rarely have normal periods. It seems that I did not do well enough and did not nourish you enough!”
“Patrick, emm…”
He dipped his head and bit lightly on her lips.
He could still smell the fragrant scent of rice wine. When she stared at him in anger, he couldn’t help it but sigh lightly.
“This is just to tell them, not to actually do it. We are engaged and soon to be married, so it’s normal for things to happen. Afterward, if the Meng family wants to join forces with the Lees to cancel our engagement, they can’t do it because you are mine already. Do you understand?”
Twinkle calmed down and thought carefully about Patrick’s words.
Twinkled had to admit that his method is actually very useful. However, she didn’t want to make Dawn sad!
Looking at Twinkle’s conflicted expression, Patrick snorted lightly. “It’s better to just get it over with. The more we drag things on, the more we will be hurting the person who is destined to be eliminated!”
Twinkle suddenly stopped talking.
She nestled herself in his arm and was very quiet. After a while, she crawled out of his arms and sat beside him on the bed.
Patrick patiently accompanied her.
Her voice was very soft, soft like a dream. “Uncle, what kind of feelings do you have for me? How long will they last?”
Patrick turned his gaze and carefully looked at the side of her face.
Is this girl planning to take this opportunity to force me to confess to her?
When he was about to speak, Twinkle continued emotionally. “I am a little confused about my feelings. I’ve been together with Dawn since I was a child. When I was born, his parents held him and came to the hospital to see me. We took baths in the same tub, slept in the same bed, and ate out of the same bowl. It felt like he was the closest person in the world. I’ve always felt that he was my first love and I should love a boy like him the most.”
Patrick’s arm grew slightly stiff beside the bed.
As she slowed down thinking about her memories, he asked while almost gritting his teeth. “How old were you when you guys took baths in the same tub, slept in the same bed, and ate out of the same bowl?”
She glanced at him with displeasure, “Why did you interrupt me? I was just about to have a good talk with you!”
“Answer my question first.”
“Can you let me finish? We argue every day. I finally open up to you and yet you…”
“You answer me first! Answer me!”
He was as unreasonable as a child. He was stubborn and fixated on the previous question, not prepared to give up until he gets his answer!
Twinkled couldn’t stand it anymore. The good mood was all ruined at once.
She wanted to say, “That was all before. After you showed up, I realized that true love wasn’t like that.”
Yet, this man went crazy again and again, so she had no chance to speak at all!
She clutched her head, crawled back to bed, pulled over a blanket, and ignored him!
“Twinkle! Explain to me clearly!”
A pillow was thrown over and hit her head.
She reached out to move the pillow to the side, turned over, and continued to sleep!
“Twinkle! Get up! Don’t sleep! Explain to me clearly! When you guys bathed in the same tub – when was it?!”
“Twinkle! You bastard! Answer me quickly!”
“Twinkle!”
Outside the room—
Trump and everyone else all stood helplessly in the hall, listening to Patrick’s madness. They couldn’t sit still, yet without orders from Patrick, no one dared to rush in.
Donald shrugged in fear. “Look at how nice it is with you and sister-in-law, I thought about getting married soon. But looking at Patrick and Miss Simpson’s relationship, I have no desire to fall in love anymore. The two of them don’t know who is abusing whom.”
Janet Jane sighed lightly and finally stepped forward, knocking on the door. “Patrick, Twinkle, do you guys need anything?”
