Chapter 67
Violet's eyes flashed as she looked over neither servile nor overbearing.
She immediately spotted the mint wrappers on the coffee table.
At this moment, she thought of the scene in the afternoon when Patrick’s feet were covered in candy wrappers. She could not help but want to laugh.
She had heard from the butler that Patrick liked to eat mints with candy wrappers and enjoyed the process of unwrapping the candy wrappers.
Although she did not know what kind of hobby this was, she felt that this cold man was inexplicably cute when it came to eating candy.
However, when she saw that Patrick was in a bad mood, she forcefully held back her laughter.
Patrick looked at Violet without saying anything.
Violet stood there for two seconds. Seeing that he did not say anything, she planned to go upstairs.
However, she had only taken two steps when she heard Patrick’s emotionless voice. “Don’t you have anything to explain to me?” Violet stopped in her tracks. She was kind of confused. “Explain what?”
Patrick frowned and said unhappily, “What do you think?”
Violet turned around and looked at him in confusion. “Mr. Hersey, | don’t quite understand what you mean!”
Although she said she did not understand, she already could guess it. He should be talking about the scene on the roof at dinner. Patrick was most likely angry from embarrassment and used this as an excuse to settle scores with her later!
Seeing Violet's innocent expression, Patrick couldn’t help but snort coldly. His tone was a little angry. “First, it’s Skyler, then Abel, and today, you’re with Gabriel. Violet, are you challenging my bottom line?”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
She pursed her lips and her expression changed. “Mr. Hersey, are you interested in me?”
Patrick was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He instantly stood up from the sofa with a dark expression. “Violet, are you joking?”
How could he be interested in Violet? He couldn't wait for this woman to have no feelings for him. How could he cause trouble for himself?
Violet did not mind. She pursed her lips and said, “It’s just a joke. | don’t think so. | only think it’s funny!”
Patrick looked at her coldly and did not say anything.
Violet looked at Patrick as she continued unhurriedly, “Mr. Hersey, | don’t understand what you mean, honestly. Skyler is a senior and a superior. Dr. Fuller is a friend and a client. These are all people | can’t avoid interacting with!
“But you made it sound like I’m a promiscuous woman with no bottom line who likes to mess around with men. Let me ask you, are you interested in me and jealous of other men, or are you just unhappy with me?” Violet stared at Patrick coldly.
After all, she was not a puppy who could be bullied by Patrick casually.
Previously, Patrick had repeatedly warned her not to have any improper thoughts about him. She endured it!
But now, he was pushing his luck and even wanted to control her interpersonal relationships. Did he think that she had no temper at all?
Violet said so much, but Patrick only focused on the word “jealousy.”
His expression was dark and his voice was extremely deep. “You're talking nonsense. Why would | be jealous because of you? Are you dreaming?”
Violet frowned. “Since you think I’m spouting nonsense, restrain your behavior, and don’t let me get the wrong idea. You interfere with my interpersonal relationships and even hug me to sleep at night. I’m also puzzled. Mr. Hersey, what exactly are you trying to do?”

Violet asked coldly.
Patrick frowned and did not speak.
Violet decided to put it bluntly. She said, “Mr. Hersey, it doesn’t seem like you're playing hard to get. And it’s not to the extent that you would be indignant. As for what happened when sleeping at night, I’m even more puzzled about it!
“Ever since you and | registered our marriage, your actions don’t seem like you want me to fulfill my obligations as a wife. Moreover, even if you want me to fulfill my obligations as your wife, there’s no need to hug me to sleep every day, right? Could it be that you lack a human-shaped pillow?” Violet directly hit the nail on the head.
Patrick’s expression was extremely dark.
He did not expect Violet to see through his thoughts.
His expression changed many times, but he could not just say that he could easily fall asleep with Violet in his arms.
Because this thing sounded kind of ridiculous.
He was at a loss for words and simply said, “You have a sharp tongue!”
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
However, after taking two steps, he felt that he had been exposed and was fleeing.
He felt upset, so he turned around and looked at Violet. “Violet, you were the one who wanted to register marriage with me. Since we’re married, isn’t it normal to lie on the same bed when we sleep?”
He paused and added, “Or do you think we shouldn't sleep together?”
When Violet heard this, for some reason, she thought of Eleanor’s words about who was better in bed and felt disgusted. Although nothing happened between her and Patrick, she still felt uncomfortable.

She stared at Patrick with a tense expression. “If you don’t want me to have any thoughts about you, shouldn’t you keep a distance from me? But you insisted on sleeping with me. Don’t you think it’s contradictory? Besides, | didn’t beg you to sleep with me!”
Patrick did not expect that he would rush Violet to this point.
Although he only wanted to hug Violet to sleep, under such circumstances, with his pride, he would not admit defeat.
His expression was extremely dark. He sneered and said, “So you're saying I’m the one who insisted on sleeping with you? Violet, you’d better understand that many women want to sleep with me. | only can’t get used to a new bed. If you don’t want to sleep with me, change your room yourself!”
Violet's eyes flashed. “No problem. I'll go to the guest room later!”
