Chapter 48
Patrick sat back down, his brows betraying a hint of coldness.
Louis chewed on his straw while glancing back and forth between Juliette and Patrick.
At that moment, Patrick pushed a black velvet box in front of Juliette.
“This is a special wedding gift I prepared for you. I think you will need it. I hope to exchange this gift for a male lead role.” Patrick said with an elegant and composed posture.

It was clear that he didn’t actually want the role.
Juliette opened it to find a pair of silver–white gloves. They were beautiful, exquisite, and well–made, as if they were custom- made for her.
Juliette ran her fingers over the gloves. They were soft, smooth, and felt wonderful against her skin.
She looked sharply at Patrick, who was seated opposite her.
She knew Patrick had deliberately kept his distance because she didn’t want him interfering with the wedding.
However, that didn’t mean he couldn’t send her a wedding gift.
Juhette felt a pang in her heart.
Her wedding was tomorrow, and she would inevitably have to have physical contact with the members of the Montgomery family. Patrick knew about her phobia. He’d noticed it after he saw her attacking someone at Golden Breeze.
Therefore, he had prepared these white, silver–threaded gloves.
The Montgomery family disgusted Juliette, and avoiding skin contact with them was important to her.
She said, “Thank you, Mr. Clarke. This gift is perfect.”
“I do hope that you’ll consider my request.” Patrick’s tone was strictly distant. “If there isn’t a suitable male lead, a supporting role will do.”
Louis had finished a bottle of drink. Patrick had him throw the bottle in the trash can.
Then he stood up, took Louis’s hand, and said, “Tomorrow is the wedding, so you must have a lot to do. We’ll take our leave
now.”
Louis felt wronged. He had only drunk a bottle of drink, and now they had to leave.
“Goodbye, miss.” Louis waved reluctantly.
He didn’t want to leave, but Patrick had told him that he couldn be too close to Juliette right now, as it would put her in danger.
Patrick gazed at Juliette for a moment while a faint smile played on his lips, so faint that it was almost imperceptible. He said, “Miss Vaughn, I wish you a happy wedding in advance.”

His voice was deep, sexy, and alluring, yet it also carried a hint of coldness.
Juliette felt that his sincere blessings were mocking her.
Suddenly, Juliette grabbed Patrick’s wrist.
He turned around slowly before he looked at her face with confusion. “Yes?”
“The little bump on your forehead is gone,” Juliette said.
Patrick subconsciously touched his forehead. On the second day that Juliette moved into his house, he bumped into something and had a small dent there, which had disappeared a long time ago.
Juliette released his wrist and walked up to him.
In the end, there were only two inches left between them.
Juliette looked up at him, “If you want to be my male lead, I have a request.”
“Tell me.”

Juliette stood on tiptoe and whispered into Patrick’s ear. He could feel her light breath brushing against his skin, sending a slight tingle down his spine.
“Don’t be with Bianca, or I’ll be angry,” Juliette said.
Then, she stepped back. Her eyes met Patrick’s.
Patrick was surprised by her words.
He thought, ‘Is she jealous? But what do I have to do with Bianca We have no connection whatsoever. Juliette explained, “She has played your first love in a show. I saw the rumors about you two. I don’t like that.”
A smile spread across Patrick’s face. “Okay,” he said.
Stuart was already waiting in the driver’s seat at the parking lot.
Patrick first sent Louis into the car, then he got in.
Stuart said, “Patrick, you asked me to investigate Juliette, so I had someone look into it. Miss Vaughn has no unusual experiences. Her life was uneventful, except that she had a serious illness when she was eighteen and took a year off from school.
“If there is any particularly bad experience, it is that her family is very biased towards Bianca. Her living resources in the Vaughn family were once taken away by Bianca. But, judging from the fact that she can still marry into the Montgomery family, the Vaughn family is not treating her too badly.”
Stuart handed all the information to Patrick. It contained detailed records of Juliette, including her age, what school she went to, what interest classes she took, and at what age she had her period.
He asked, “Do you like her? But she is going to marry Finn, Don tell me you’re going to ruin their wedding?”

Louis said, “Uncle, I like Mommy very much. Can you persuade my dad to steal her from her wedding? I don’t want Mommy to marry Finn! Finn is a big bad guy.”
Stuart was amused. He was just making a casual remark. He didn’t really want Patrick to do that.

He asked, “Finn has a very good reputation. Everyone says that he is a modest gentleman. Even when he is doing business, he is courteous. How can he be a bad guy?”
Stuart was a businessman. Naturally, he had dealt with Finn.
He had once thought that Finn was a gentleman until Patrick told him that Finn was a hypocrite.
Since he couldn’t even see Finn’s true colors, he wondered how Louis could.
Louis said seriously, “His niece, Belle Montgomery, was very domineering in school. She even framed me. When Finn came, he sided with Belle without asking for the truth while pretending to be fair. It can be seen that he is a bad person.”
Louis hugged Patrick’s arm and begged, “Dad, go and get Mommy back. Mommy won’t be happy if she marries Finn.”
Patrick pursed his lips and said nothing.
Stuart drove the car back home. After getting out of the car, Louis started to lose his temper. He refused to eat, smashed things, and insisted that Patrick go and get Juliett back.
No one could calm him down.
Stuart was very helpless, “This… It seems that Louis likes Juliette very much. Patrick, you are rarely so interested in a woman. Why don’t you go and get her back?
“A woman who has caught your and Louis‘ eye must be something special, right? Isn’t it exciting to steal her away during her wedding?”
Deep down, Stuart didn’t want Patrick to do that. He only said that to appease Louis.
He only said that to appease Louis.
Patrick didn’t answer the question. He said, “She confessed her feelings for me.”
Stuart didn’t react for a moment. “What?”
Patrick looked up, this time speaking seriously. “Juliette confessed her feelings for me.”
“So?”
“She was clearly hinting for me to steal her away during her wedding.
Stuart was speechless. After a while, he asked, “How did she confess to you? Does she know that Finn is a scumbag?”
Patrick gave him a look that indicated he did not need to explain to him.
Juliette said that she would be angry if Patrick had a scandal with Bianca.
Patrick didn’t think it was necessary to share such private emotional disclosures with others.

“Damn, are you really going to steal her away?” Stuart asked.
“No.” Patrick replied neatly, a hint of arrogance flashing across his cold brows.
Louis, who had just stopped to eavesdrop on their conversation, continued to smash things.
Patrick walked over and picked him up.
He asked, “Stuart, buy him a hammer and take him to the quarry to smash rocks.”
