Chapter 178

Almost everyone who met Roschelle praised her and got along well with her. Roschelle had friends all over the world, men and women, young and old.

Only this Alaricka.

She was the only one who dared to give Roschelle attitude in front of him.

Roschelle got along with everyone, so why not with Alarieka?

That was definitely because of Alarieka.

He dared to give Roschelle attitude even in front of him and Kieran, so who knows how bad it got in private.

Patrick’s eyes looked a bit cold.

Too bad he wasn’t Roschelle; he couldn’t learn to just suck it up.

He did what Roschelle couldn’t bear to do.

Patrick looked up and met Kieran’s eyes, his lips mocking: “Mr. Argent, I thought you were a big shot, but you couldn’t even handle an Alarieka.”

Roschelle was a bit anxious: “Patrick, don’t say that. After all, Alarieka was also Kier’s sister.”

Patrick gritted his teeth, and a hint of coldness and disappointment showed in his slightly chilly eyes.

“Rose, you were always protecting him like that, not caring about yourself, right?”

When Patrick’s face fell, his expression was totally different from usual. Roschelle had only seen that look on Patrick a few years ago.

That was the look Patrick gave Kieran when he confessed to her and failed.

This was the first time Patrick showed her that kind of look.

Roschelle choked on her words, “I… I didn’t mean that.”

Seeing Roschelle’s pale face, a trace of regret flashed in Patrick’s eyes.

He didn’t want Roschelle to be scared of him.

He took a deep breath, pushed down his frustration, and said gently, “Alright, it’s okay, I wasn’t mad at you, I was just too worried about you.”

Roschelle went “Mm,” and said, “I know, you don’t have to worry too much, I’ll talk to Alarieka about it.”

Patrick didn’t object; he just said, “I’ve got something to do, so I won’t stay with you. Let Mr. Argent keep you company.”

As he spoke, he shot Kieran a look.

Roschelle quickly grabbed his sleeve: “Patrick, do you have anything else?”

Patrick gently pulled her hand down and said, “It’s personal, it’ll be fine soon. Let’s go eat first, aren’t you starving?”

Roschelle smiled with her lips pressed together, “Then come back soon.”

Patrick nodded and smiled, “Okay.”

He glanced at Kieran: “Mr. Argent, please take good care of Rose; don’t let her be wronged.”

Kieran gave a low “mm” and said, “None of your business.”

The tension between them got tight again because of what Kieran said, and Patrick’s face fell again.

He couldn’t help saying, “Kieran, if you can’t take good care of Rose, just give her back. If it comes to it, I’ll raise the baby in Rose’s belly myself, and after that, you won’t have anything to do with us.”

Kieran narrowed his long, dark eyes, “It’s not your turn yet.”

Patrick sneered, “What right did you have to say that?”

Kieran’s voice was calm: “Still better than you deserve.”

Roschelle’s cheeks turned a little red, she bit her lip, and looked at the two of them carefully and excitedly.

Watching two outstanding and handsome men fight over her, Roschelle felt an indescribable happiness.

But even if I was really happy, I could only keep it to myself.

She looked helpless and smiled, saying, “Alright, you guys stop talking; I’m getting a headache just listening.”

Patrick immediately shut his mouth and looked at Roschelle a bit nervously: “You have a headache? Where exactly? Do you feel dizzy?”

Roschelle looked helpless and said, “If you keep asking, I’m really gonna get a headache.”

She raised her hand and pushed Patrick’s back.

“Alright, alright, just go now, don’t waste time, go quickly and come back soon.”

Patrick ended by saying, “If you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me. Don’t keep it to yourself.”

Roschelle said, “I know, I know, just don’t worry about it.”

After Patrick left, Kieran’s deep voice sounded behind her.

“You and he got along pretty well.”

Roschelle paused for a second, then the corners of her mouth lifted, and her eyes were full of laughter.

She turned around, put her hands behind her back, leaned in to see Kieran’s expression, and smiled with her eyes all crinkled.

“Kier, were you jealous?”

Kieran didn’t say anything.

It was just a conversation between these three, but Alarieka happened to walk by and heard everything clearly.

She originally wanted to avoid those three and sit in a corner, but somehow that corner gave off a terrible stench. No wonder nobody went there to eat. Just smelling it made her feel sick.

So she just picked up the plate and walked back.

Then, I ran into the three people arguing in the restaurant hallway, and I heard everything they said loud and clear.
