Chapter 253

Freddie’s eyes flashed. He sat down on the sofa beside him and said, “If you have the time to drink with me, why don’t you go home and deal with Mom? As long as I go home recently, she will find a way to find a partner for you. She even asked me how the girls she chose are!”

Patrick looked displeased. “I already have a girlfriend!”

He originally wanted to find Robert to drink, but Robert was busy taking care of Megan in the hospital.

Helpless, he could only ask Freddie to come over and drink with him. However, who knew that Freddie would bring up the subject of blind dates the moment they met?

Freddie glanced at him. “Then bring her home and let your family see her. They were originally dissatisfied with Gloria. Now that you’ve broken up with Gloria, they can’t wait to find another one for you!”

Patrick took a sip of wine and looked a little sad. “I did want to find an opportunity to bring her to meet you first and then bring her home, but now… the timing is not right!”

Freddie raised his eyebrows and looked at him. He picked up the wine glass and swirled it. “What’s wrong?”

Patrick lowered his head and drank without saying a word.

Freddie’s expression changed. He asked tentatively, “Did you guys quarrel?”

Otherwise, he really could not guess what could make the usually cold Patrick so depressed that he had to ask him out to drown his sorrows.

Patrick did not deny it. He only asked in return, “Freddie, how can women be so fickle?”

Patrick felt terrible when he thought of Violet. He had never felt this way before.

When he was dating Gloria, it was more about compensation rather than real feelings. He had no idea how people who lost control of their feelings felt.

However, when it really fell on his head, he suddenly realized that when he fell in love with someone, his emotions/would change with that person and he would not be able to control them.

Facing Freddie, Patrick felt closer and was more willing to open up to him.

He said, “She clearly allowed me to k*ss her before, but after a day, she became especially cold. I really do not understand…”

Patrick wanted to say something but hesitated. He looked troubled and depressed.

Freddie was a little surprised. This was the first time he had seen Patrick in such a state. This was the first time he was curious about what kind of person Patrick was dating. She could make a cold, domineering, and conceited person like Patrick look so uneasy.

However, when he heard Patrick’s words, Freddie could not help but laugh. “It would be strange if a woman was not fickle. Otherwise, why would they say women from Venus, right?”

Patrick looked a little lost. “Is that so?”

Freddic chuckled. “What else do you think? Besides, haven’t you been in a relationship before? Why don’t you know this?!”

Patrick pursed his l*ps tightly and said after a long time, “Freddie, you do not understand. She’s different from others!”

Freddie’s eyes flashed. “It seems that you are more sincere this time. When you were with Gloria in the past, I felt that something was wrong. It’s too stereotypical. It doesn’t look like you’re in a relationship at all. It’s better now. You’re more human this way!”

Patrick could not deny this statement. He glanced at Freddie and said, “You’re still the best. You already have a fiancée. You don’t have to think about this!”

When Freddie heard this, his expression changed slightly. “But I do not like her!”

Patrick was stunned. “You don’t like her?”

Freddie nodded. “Yes, I also have a girl I like. She can easily affect my emotions. I want. to see her, but I don’t dare to. I’m afraid that she will be unhappy if she sees me. In short, it’s a very contradictory feeling!”

Patrick could not understand Freddie’s behavior of having a fiancée and someone he liked at the same time.

He frowned. “But don’t you have a fiancée? And you like someone else. This…”

Patrick thought for a moment and said, “Isn’t

it a bad idea?”

Patrick felt that this was unfair to Freddie’s fiancée and the girl he liked.

Freddie did not mind Patrick’s words. He nodded. “That’s indeed not good. However, Wendy knows that I don’t like her. She also knows that I have someone I like and it’s not her. We agreed that once I woo the person I like, I will cancel the engagement with her.”

Patrick understood. So that was how it was.

Chapter 253

He watched as Freddie’s expression softened when he mentioned the girl.

He could not help but feel a little confused. “Freddie, how long have you known the person you like?”

Freddie thought for a moment and said, “About 7 years!”

Patrick was a little surprised. “That long?”

Freddie sighed slightly with a nostalgic expression. “Yes, it’s been a long time…”

Π

Patrick did not expect that after so long, Freddie was still not with the person he liked. He was a little curious. “How do you guys get along? Why isn’t she with you?”

Patrick could not figure it out. Freddie’s family background, appearance, and speech were all outstanding. Would any girl reject him?

When Freddie heard this, a hint of sadness flashed across his face.

Then, he asked Patrick with a smile, wanting to lighten the topic. Are you asking for pointers?”

Patrick was shocked and looked uncomfortable for once.

He subconsciously picked up the glass and took a sip of wine. “You’re thinking too much. I’m just asking. Besides, you haven’t been able to woo her in 7 years. If I ask you for advice, I probably won’t be able to woo the person I like in my life!”

Freddie’s expression instantly turned disappointed. He did not even have the time to hide it.

He glanced at Patrick with an indiscernible expression. “You hit the nail on the head.

You hit

my weak spot with just one sentence!”

Patrick pursed his l*ps silently, not knowing what to say.

He was just telling the truth.

Freddie could not be angry with Patrick. He looked a little sad. ‘Actually, I can’t blame you for saying that. It’s indeed because I didn’t do a good job that she didn’t end up with me. Actually, when I first met her, she was quite young. She was 12 or 13 years old. She was very young and especially fragile. She also didn’t have a good relationship with her family. Her pitifulness makes my heart ache. It can especially stimulate one’s protective desire.

“At that time, I taught her how to fight, play billiards, and play games. I slowly watched. over her as she grew up. Unknowingly, I fell in love with her. However, this was not surprising. I originally wanted to wait until she reached adulthood before confessing to

her. I had just told Wendy about it and agreed if my confession succeeded, the engagement between the two families would be annulled. In the end, on her 18th birthday, she brought a boy to see me and personally told me that she had a boyfriend!”

Freddie looked a little sad.

Patrick squeezed the cup with a complicated expression. “So, after so many years, you still haven’t confessed?”

Freddie looked up at Patrick and said weakly, “Yes. In front of the person I like, even I lack confidence!”
