Chapter 301 

Patrick reached out and took the cellphone charm from Violet’s hand. 

Their fingers touched, and Violet’s palm slightly twitched. 

Patrick took the charm and promptly attached it to his black phone right in front of 

Violet. 

After attaching it, he waved his phone in front of Violet. “How does it look? Pretty nice, right?” 

Seeing him show off like this, Violet couldn’t help but smile. “Yes! It looks great!” 

She had been worried that Patrick wouldn’t like it! 

In just over ten minutes, Violet had finished making the lasagna

It was only half past eleven. 

Violet checked the time and placed the lasagna on the counter. She said, “Let’s cat. It’s not yet midnight. This belated birthday blessing of mine has still caught up in time!” 

Upon hearing this, Patrick glanced at her and sat on a high stool next to the counter before starting to eat his lasagna. 

Violet was a bit surprised. “Aren’t you going to eat in the hall?” 

Patrick shook his head. His voice was indifferent as he said, “No, there are too many people outside, It’s too noisy.” 

He just wanted to stay in this small corner with Violet. 

Violet chuckled. “Alright then, as long as you’re happy!” 

Patrick took a big bite of the lasagna and looked at Violet. The lasagna you made is delicious!” 

Violet’s eyes sparkled with a smile. “I’m glad you like them!” 

Tonight, Violet was exceptionally gentle, and she spoke very obediently. Patrick had a feeling he couldn’t quite put into words. 

While eating his lasagna, he told Violet. “Your gift and the lasagna are the best gifts I’ve received this year!” 

Upon hearing this, Violet felt truly gratified for making the effort to come over late at night.

Chapter 301 

At this moment, Robert came up from behind Patrick and hugged his shoulder. “Patrick, what are you sneaking to eat? You didn’t even share with me. That’s so inconsiderate!” 

Violet couldn’t help but smirk. “It’s lasagna. I made it today because it’s his birthday!”

Patrick gave Robert a cold look. “Stay away. It’s too crowded outside, and I haven’t had dinner. Don’t get too close, or you might spit into my plate!” 

Robert wore an expression of great hurt. He said pitifully, “Patrick, are we still friends? You’re so dismissive of me for a plate of lasagna. Is that really okay?” 

Patrick looked at Robert with a stern expression. “What’s wrong with this? Do you think you’re worth this plate of lasagna? At least this lasagna can fill me up. What can you do?” 

Robert’s face was full of disappointment. “Ms. Webb, can you please reason with him? Isn’t he being too much?” 

Watching Robert act up, Violet smiled faintly without saying a word. 

Thanks to Violet’s presence, Patrick had a very happy birthday. 

After finishing the lasagna, the party dispersed. Violet drove the birthday boy home. 

In the car, Patrick played with the charm on his phone. 

Suddenly, the phone rang. 

Patrick’s eyes narrowed when he saw the number from overseas. He hung up as if nothing had happened. 

Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, the phone rang again. 

Patrick was about to hang up again when he heard Violet ask with a smile, “Why aren’t you answering the call?” 

Afraid that Violet might sense something, Patrick’s eyes flickered, and he calmly replied, “I was planning to answer. I accidentally hung up earlier.” 

Violet made a sound of understanding and continued driving. 

Patrick answered the call with a deep voice. “Hello.” 

On the other end of the phone, Gloria’s voice sounded pleasantly surprised. “Patrick, you finally answered my call. I was starting to think you wouldn’t!” 

Patrick listened to Gloria’s words in silence while Violet sat beside him, not wanting to offer any explanation.

Gloria continued, “Patrick, I know you always talk tough but have a soft heart. You miss me, am I right?” 

Patrick remained silent as if he hadn’t heard her at all. 

Gloria paused for a few seconds and then asked, “Patrick, are you even listening?” 

Patrick’s expression turned unpleasant. His voice was cold. “I’m listening.” 

Gloria seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. “As I thought, even though I’m not the first to wish you a happy birthday today, I can be the last. It’s almost midnight. Patrick, happy birthday!” 

Patrick only made a sound of acknowledgment without even saying thank you. 

Gloria didn’t seem to mind. She was used to Patrick’s demeanor. 

Thinking back to their heated argument on the phone and the fact that they hadn’t. contacted each other since the last time, she took a deep breath and lowered her tone. “Patrick, the last time we argued, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have fought with you over Joanna.” 

At this point, she paused and continued, “You’re right. Joanna made a mistake. She deserved it. You were right to fire her. I shouldn’t have let my previous relationship with Joanna affect us. It’s my bad temper, I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry with me anymore, okay?” 

Patrick furrowed his brows and said, “These things have nothing to do with me. You don’t need to tell me.” 

Because Violet was nearby, Patrick couldn’t say that they no longer had any connection, so Gloria did not have to apologize to him. It wouldn’t be appropriate to say it at the 

moment. 

Gloria’s tone became somewhat urgent as she said, “The two of us argued because of Joanna. How can it not have anything to do with you?” 

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that her tone was a little harsh. 

Patrick didn’t respond at all. 

Thinking Patrick might be angry, Gloria apologized again, saying, “Patrick, it’s my fault. I lost my temper just now. Don’t be angry. Today is your birthday. I should make you happy!” 

But Patrick had had enough. Ile spoke up, “As long as you don’t bother me anymore, I’m already happy!”

After saying this, he hung up the phone and turned it off. 

Violet looked at him in surprise. She asked, “Who was that on the phone? Why are you 

so angry?” 

Patrick furrowed his brows, thinking that his last words might lead to 

misunderstandings. 

He explained, saying, “It was a client wishing me a happy birthday and then insisting on working together. I was feeling irritable, so I hung up! 

Thinking about Patrick’s last words, Violet believed him. 

However, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. 

But Patrick had no reason to lie to her, so Violet didn’t press the matter further. 

After Patrick’s birthday, the atmosphere between him and Violet became better and better over time. 

In a month, the two of them did not even say a single harsh word to each other. 

Soon, the show Violet participated in, “Beauty Lovers Gang,” aired its first episode. 

In the evening, when Patrick came back, Violet was waiting in front of the TV. She was cager to watch the premiere. 

Patrick changed his shoes and went upstairs to change into his loungewear. Then, he came down to sit quietly on the sofa and watched the TV with Violet. 

The show hadn’t started yet, and Violet was playing with her phone when she suddenly 

came across some news. 

She looked up abruptly at Patrick. “Patrick, did you know? When Rebecca’s parents. were leaving, they were attacked and beaten up with a sack over their heads!”  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
