Chapter 300

Riley smiled smugly and provocatively as she glanced at Violet. She was about to lean on Patrick’s shoulder.

Violet froze on the spot.

Just as Riley was about to rest her head on Patrick’s shoulder, Patrick suddenly moved his shoulder away and stood up.

Riley suddenly lost her support. She did not expect Patrick to do this, and half of her b*dy fell on the sofa.

Robert first looked puzzled for a

oment, then he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Violet, who had been a little upset, was now also a bit stunned. She was trying hard to suppress her laughter.

Riley climbed up from the sofa in embarrassment. She glared at Patrick’s retreating figure. Her delicate face contorted in anger.

She was infuriated!

Patrick completely ignored Riley. He looked at Violet and took a step toward her.

When Robert saw Patrick walking over, he could not help but smile. I’ve led her to you. I can now leave gracefully now!”

Patrick gave him a glance and said coldly, “Yes, you can scram now.”

Robert was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched twice. He exclaimed, “You’re an ungrateful brat! I’ve helped you this much, yet you’re so rude to me!”

“Are you not happy with me?” Patrick said expressionlessly, infuriating Robert.

Robert rolled his eyes in anger and said, “Fine, you win!”

After saying that, he turned around and went to find someone to play with.

Patrick looked at Violet steadily. His voice was cold. “Why did you come?”

Violet pursed her l*ps. “I heard it was your birthday, so I came over!”

Upon hearing this, Patrick couldn’t help but snort. He said coldly. “If it’s not my birthday, I won’t be able to invite you, right?”

Violet looked at him helplessly. She tried her best to explain. “You’re overthinking it. You didn’t make it clear before, so I arranged to have dinner with Gabriel. If you had.

Chapter 300

told me your birthday in advance or invited me to dinner, I would definitely have made an appointment with Gabriel another day!”

Patrick’s heart still felt uneasy hearing Violet’s words.

Since she was here now, it meant she would definitely meet Gabriel again in the future. She couldn’t stand Gabriel up!

Just the thought of Gabriel and Violet having dinner together made Patrick very unhappy!

His voice was stern as he said, “In the future, try to see Gabriel less. He’s not a good person!”

Violet’s mouth twitched twice, but she didn’t say anything.

Patrick stared at Violet without blinking. He thought he might let Violet off the h ook, considering she came before midnight. He would forgive her.

His eyes flickered, and he awkwardly said, Originally, I was planning to introduce my brother to you today, but you came so late. You really know how to pick your timing!”

Violet sighed helplessly and glanced at Patrick. She said, “I’m really sorry about today! As for your brother, if you’re willing to introduce him to me, let’s do it when we both have time on another day!”

If she had known it was Patrick’s birthday, she definitely wouldn’t have had dinner with Gabriel.

As for Patrick’s childish complaints, she let it slide. After all, he was the birthday boy!

This was the first time Patrick had seen Violet be so accommodating to him. He raised an eyebrow, about to say something.

Suddenly, his gaze froze on the plastic bag in Violet’s hand, and he looked somewhat disgusted. “Why are you carrying groceries? Don’t tell me you only found out it was my birthday on your way to buy them!”

Violet shook her head with a wry smile. “No, it’s not like that!”

Patrick’s face darkened, and he said, “So, you’re planning to give me a bag of lasagna noodles, meat sauce, and a bunch of ingredients as a birthday gift?”

Violet listened to his quirky idea and couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t just give you that. I just thought I should cook something for you on your birthday. I’m sure you’ve already had birthday cake, so I’ll make you some lasagna. I know there’s a kitchen here, but there might not be any cheeses or other ingredients. So, I bought some on my way here!”

Upon hearing Violet’s explanation, Patrick instantly felt more at ease.

He gruffly but kindly said, “I guess you do have a bit of a conscience. I’ll take you to the kitchen.”

Violet nodded with a smile and followed Patrick toward the kitchen.

There indeed weren’t any ingredients for lasagna. Luckily, Violet had bought lasagna noodles, onions, cheese, eggs, and flavorful meat sauce.

She went into the kitchen and started making lasagna.

Patrick felt that there were so many people in the hall, but it was not as interesting as this small kitchen. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned against the kitchen shelf, staring intently at Violet.

Violet felt a bit uneasy being watched like this and couldn’t help but furrow her brows. “Why don’t you go have fun in the hall? Why keep staring at me?”

Upon hearing this, Patrick’s expression momentarily turned awkward. He retorted, “I’m afraid you’ll poison me.”

Violet rolled her eyes in exasperation and continued to cook.

Patrick looked at Violet and couldn’t help but smirk. “I remember, you’re not really good at cooking, are you?”

Violet’s hands faltered at his words, and she looked up at Patrick. “Indeed, I’m not great at cooking. I don’t have the talent for it. But I can manage with some lasagna. After all, my mom passed away carly, and Veronica’s family often goes out. When they’re not at home, not even the housekeeper comes to work. It’s just me left in the house, so I have to make something to eat!”

As Violet spoke, she kept her head down, her expression somewhat dim.

Patrick could sense that he had brought up a sensitive topic, causing Violet to recall an unpleasant memory.

He frowned and blurted out, “In the future, whatever you want to eat, I can cook it for you!”

Upon hearing this, Violet looked up at him and smiled. “How could I dare to trouble. you, the big CEO?”

As soon as Patrick finished saying he would cook for Violet, he felt like he had gotten a bit too sentimental. It was completely unlike his usual style. He couldn’t help but curse himself internally for having a moment of lapse in judgment.

He cleared his throat and smoothly changed the subject. “By the way, you didn’t prepare any other gifts for me? Just a plate of lasagna as my birthday gift?”

Still, he was really looking forward to that lasagna. It was the first time Violet had cooked for him..

Violet glanced at him, her expression a bit awkward. “I did buy something else, but. most of the stores were closed, and time was tight. I just grabbed it. Don’t be too picky!”

Patrick was curious about what else Violet had bought. He raised an eyebrow and looked at her. “Take it out and let me see. Then I’ll know whether to be picky or not!”

Violet pursed her l*ps, took something out of her pocket, and held it out in front of

Patrick.

Patrick was momentarily stunned when he saw the cellphone charm hanging from Violet’s index finger. It was simple, just two green leaves.

Violet noticed Patrick staring at the charm and didn’t show much expression.

She felt a little embarrassed. “I know it’s quite plain, but the boss said it’s a mint leaf, so I bought it on a whim!”

Violet thought of how Patrick had quit smoking before and liked mint candies. She could always smell a faint hint of mint on him.

Although he had started smoking again, he still occasionally enjoyed mint candies.

When she saw this charm, although it was cheap, she felt it suited Patrick.

Patrick looked at Violet intently and shook his head. “No, I really like it!”
