Chapter 190

Robert’s eyes widened in shock. “Huh? You don’t like Rose? Then why are you so nice to her?”

Patrick’s eyes flickered. “Treating her well doesn’t mean I like her. She’s from the countryside. It’s not easy for her to get to where she is now. I can’t make life difficult for her because of a small matter.”

The truth was that Patrick k*ssed Violet that night on the pretext of being

drunk.

For the first time, he bared his heart.

Yet, he was slapped by Violet.

That night. Patrick left North Star Villa and went back to the villa belonging to Robert.

During that time, Rose was still staying in the villa. When she saw Patrick return, she poured him a glass of wine without saying a word. She then sat quietly at one side and kept her distance.

It was the first time Patrick was overwhelmed with emotions.

He asked Rose why she took part in such social gatherings.

It was then that Rose told him about her situation.

Rose came from the countryside and had six older sisters back home. Their family was very poor.

Hence, Rose went to look for work in the city and started acting by accident. In the beginning, she thought her dream was going to come true. However, after entering the entertainment industry, she realized that the entertainment circle was meant for wealthy people. Without money and power, her chances would be limited. It was impossible for her to succeed.

She told Patrick that she was aware there was no free lunch in the world. One must work hard to achieve success. Rose did not want to pretend that she was pure and innocent. instead, she was determined to take a chance and strive for success. She yearned to escape poverty.

Under normal circumstances, Patrick would not bother about such topics.

There were too many poor people in the world. He could not help all of them.

Perhaps Rose had helped him overcome his emotions that night, and he now understood her a little more.

That was the reason why he did not do anything to refute the scandals between the both of them. He also allowed her to obtain more resources.

Robert, on the other hand, was a lot more discerning.

When he heard Patrick saying that Rose was from the countryside, he could imagine the so b story she must have told Patrick.

He sighed. “Looks like Rose is putting up a show in front of you. She’s pretending to be pitiful to gain your sympathy.”

Patrick gave him a sidelong glance, but he did not refute what Robert said.

Robert’s eyes flickered. “So, if it’s not Rose, then who is it? Who do you

like?”

After pondering for a moment, Robert suddenly froze. He stared at

like Violet!”

Patrick in disbelief. “Da mn it. Don’t tell me you

Patrick became tense. He leaned against the couch and did not say a word.

Robert mumbled, “How can it be? So, do you really like Violet? Yes, she’s at good fighter and also plays billiards well. I know she’s very talented, and she’s very pretty. I thought both of you were only scratching each other’s backs. You’ll part ways after getting what both of you want.”

Patrick’s face looked cold. He remained silent.

Robert leaned over and stared at Patrick. He scrutinized Patrick’s face as if he was appraising a piece of precious gem.

He shook his head, looking perplexed. “No way. How can you like her? Did you ask me how to woo girls because you want to pursue her? No, no, no. This is such a rare occurrence. It’s a historical moment. I need to record

this.”

Patrick gave him an icy glare. “Can you answer my question?”

Robert smiled awkwardly and cleared his throat. “All right, I won’t keep you in suspense. After all, we’re such good friends. I won’t withhold any secrets from you. The best ways to woo a woman are rather old- fashioned.”

Patrick’s face was devoid of any expression. He still did not say a word.

Robert continued, “Women are emotional creatures. Men use different methods to win their hearts. There is one thing women have in common. They like romance. They like persistent men who treat their partners well.”

Frowning, Patrick wanted to probe further. He asked d sarcastically, “Have you been persistent in treating a woman well? What proof do you have that your advice is correct?”

Robert immediately snorted, “Don’t underestimate me. Forget it. I’ll be upfront with you. If you want to win Violet’s heart, you have to pick her up from work, send her flowers and gifts, bring her on dates, and have meals with her. Be persistent and remember to pamper her with some romance every day. You’ll win her heart eventually. After that, you can…”

Robert then gave Patrick a knowing wink.

Patrick frowned, looking puzzled. “What can I do after that?”

Robert let out an awkward cough. “Then, it’s time to do what two lovers. should do. Do you have to ask so explicitly?”

Patrick kept quiet. He looked at Robert and wondered if he should have even consulted Robert about the matter.

Robert thought Patrick did not understand what he meant and winked. “Come on, Patrick. Don’t tell me you’re such a wholesome man that you don’t understand what I’m talking about.”

Patrick looked at him coldly and lowered his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

Suddenly, he replied, “Okay, I got it.”

Robert immediately grinned and said in an ambiguous tone, “That’s good. You know, women like men to have a high-performance drive in that

aspect.”

Patrick looked at him blankly and asked another question, “How do you. know if she likes you?”

Robert snapped his fingers as if he was very experienced in romantic relationships. “That’s so simple. If a woman is jealous, it means she likes.

you.”

When Patrick heard the word jealous. His expression darkened. He did not ask any further.

Robert tried to devise a plan for Patrick. “In my opinion, you don’t have to explain your relationship with Rose to her. It’s a good opportunity to test her and see if she will be jealous of Rose.”

Patrick did not say anything. He was starting to think if the plan would work.

Robert finally realized that Patrick was serious this time. It was completely different from his previous relationship with Gloria.

He smirked, “Tsk tsk. Look at you. The block of ice has finally melted. Fortunately, both of you are married legally. You can keep her by your side and try to win her heart slowly.”

Robert was still contemplating how to help Patrick when the latter suddenly asked, “Can I not confess my feelings to her?”
