Chapter 342: I will help you

Patrick’s silence annoyed Sandra and she turned around walking inside the room. "As I always tell you. You don’t have to bother me just treated me as if I don’t exist"

Patrick pressed the space between his brows as he couldn’t tolerate Sandra’s harsh words. He had been trying to make up for his past mistakes, but she doesn’t seem to notice his affords.

"What should I do to gain your forgiveness, Sandra? I told you I had my reasons for leaving you all" Patrick once again tried to defend himself.

Sandra scoffed ignoring his explanation. Didn’t he realize what happened to them after he ran away like a coward, leaving behind his wife and Kids to face the hardships all alone?

Their life turned upside down when he walked out of their lives without a word affecting his wife mentally.

Patrick’s eyes beg for her acknowledgment. He wanted to do everything in his power to gain her forgiveness.

Sandra watched her father for a few seconds before she opened her mouth to speak," You want my forgiveness, don’t you?" her brow raised up and she crossed her hands over her chest looking keenly at the man, and watched him bob his head.

"Yes," Patrick quickly replied.

Sandra eyed her father with a cunning smile appearing on her face and took a step closer to him and said," Then help me get Ashley’s Knight out of Tristan’s life" her words made Patrick’s eyes widen in shock as he stared at her in disbelief.

"No!" he answered with hesitation.

Patrick knew Tristan was a very powerful man both his normal and underworld. His influence runs worldwide; provoking him would be like inviting death for oneself.

"You know it’s impossible. I can never accept your request" Patrick had been very clear with his decision. Though he was a powerful man now, he was still ranked lower than the Jaguar.

Sandra’s eyes darkened after Patrick decline her right on her face, pissing off her entire mood.

"Then get lost and don’t come here" she spat raising her voice at Patrick.

She was stupid to try her luck once again hoping at least this time Patrick would help her but just like every time he once again decline her.

"Sandra you know you can ask me anything but killing Tristan Knight’s wife would bring a war between two clans. Don’t you know how crazy that man is? He wouldn’t think twice before destroying everything around him if something happens to his beloved wife" Patrick didn’t hold back his anger this time.

He had repeatedly tried to explain to her that she should forget Tristan and move forward with her life. She could have anything she wants because now he was rich enough to provide her with everything, but no... her needle was still pointing at Tristan and she wasn’t ready to change her mind.

Sandra clenched her teeth in fury as she eyed Patrick with bloodshot eyes. If looks could kill she would have murdered her father right there but she couldn’t as she still needed him to execute her plan. His power and money were beneficial for her right now and she can’t harm him.

"You still wouldn’t help me if I tell you that I know where Tori is?" an evil grin appeared on her face making Patrick drop his jaw in shock.

For four years he had been trying to find his younger daughter Tori but she was nowhere to be found and now finally after all those years, he could see a glimpse of hope through Sandra.

"You know where Tori is?" Patrick grabbed Sandra’s shoulder, asking her with eagerness in his voice.

Sandra smirked mentally. She hit the right spot after a long time. How this thought never appeared in her mind.

"I do, but if you want me to tell you her whereabouts, then you have to help me" Sandra saw the shine in Patrick’s eyes dim when she demanded a helping hand in return.

"It’s only me who can tell you where she is" she kept her grounds firm not weathering even for a second. She wanted her father by her side until she reaches her goals and she wouldn’t give up until he agreed with her.

Patrick slowly loosens his hands from her shoulder. He could see she was playing her cards on him once again, slowly shaking his decision.

’Why is he taking so long to accept my words’ she thought as her eyes kept staring at Patrick. She just hoped this strike of hers doesn’t go wasted.

"Fine!"

All of a sudden Patrick said and that snapped her out of her thoughts.

"W-what do you mean?" she asked for the sake of assurance.

"I will help you and in return, you have to tell me where is Tori" Patrick for now decided to agree with her but not for too long because once he finds Tori, he would take them with him leaving this country for good.

After convincing Natalie, Noah drove to his office but on his way, he received a call from Alice who asked him to meet her in their favorite coffee shop.

They decided to have breakfast together but Natalie’s sudden appearance and irrelevant warning pissed their mood.

Driving to the Café coffee day, Noah stepped out of his car and entered the shop only to find Alice waiting for him.

She took the corner seat away from every eye and watched Noah approach her.

Alice was expecting him to take the front seat, just like he always did but to her surprise, he walked past his seat and instead choose to sit next to her.

Shoving her deeper inside the seat, Noah turned his head and slammed his lips on her taking Alice by surprise.

He wanted to clear his mind and her kiss was his only remedy. He would erase all the alarming thoughts from his mind once he was done with the kiss.

Alice blinked her eyes initially but when she noticed there weren’t many customers in the shop she gave in and closed her eyes responding back to his urgent kiss.

Taking his sweet time Noah kissed Alice until his mind and heart were at peace and then pulled back. His eyes observed her pink cheeks and the corner of his lips curled up into an amusing smile.

"I am sorry-" he said as he traced his thumb over her swollen lips and continued "you need to redo your lipstick," the second he finished his words Alice pulled her face away hiding her embarrassment from him.

Giggling at her cute action Noah turned around and watched the waited to approach them with their orders in his hands.

Alice had already placed the order because she reached twenty minutes before Noah left the residential parking lot.

After the waiter left, both Alice nor Noah didn’t speak for a few minutes. There was a long pause between the two as they suddenly felt awkward starting a conversation.

Alice waited for Noah to speak but even after a few minutes passed she didn’t hear a word from him and that made her break the silence.

"Did you agree with her" Noah snapped his attention to her giving her a confusing look.

It took him a few seconds to register the meaning behind her words and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.

Alice was waiting for Noah to say something and when he did, she felt her blood run dry.

Noah heaved out a sigh and bobbed his head agreeing with her words. "I did" the depressed look on his face dropped Alice’s heart.

’He just went on agreeing with Natalie without consulting me’

"So now you will move out from your apartment just because she asked you" Alice shoved off that nagging feeling from her heart as anger took control over it.

Both her palms resting on the surface of the table balled into a tight fist, digging her nails into her flesh until it turned white.

Noah who was sipping the coffee noticed it and panic erupt in his heart. ’Was it a good idea to piss her off’ Noah was now slowly beginning to regret his words and before he could confess the truth, he heard her say once again.

"Mr. Noah Wayne, do you have a death wish? How can you go on taking decisions without discussing them with me" Alice’s anger had reached the boiling point and she was just a step away from bursting out.

"A-Alice I was joking.. please don’t get upset" quickly keeping the coffee mug aside Noah started coaxing Alice. Her chest heaved up and down while her nostrils flared in anger.

Alice shot a glare at Noah making him flinch in his seat. "Is this the right time to joke?" she asked.

Alice’s hand was itching to reach out and pull his ear showing him his mistake but she stopped herself knowing they weren’t in their house.

"I am sorry. I won’t do it again" Noah quickly held his ears and started begging for Alice’s forgiveness catching everyone’s eyes.

"What’s wrong with the girl? Why is she making such a handsome man apologize," the few customers who were present inside the shop noticed Noah beg Alice quickly came to defend him.

Alice:"...."
