Clearly, Ava had the same thought. She frowned and hesitated about whether to open the door when Patrick suddenly sprang up from the couch like a spring and volunteered.
"I'll get rid of them for you!"
Before Ava could stop him, Patrick had already opened the door.
"You're here every day without..."
When a strange, handsome face appeared in front of Patrick, he was momentarily stunned. Then, a surge of inexplicable hostility rose within him.
Who was this man? Why was he here at Ava's place so late?
As Ava came out, she saw the two men staring each other down.
"What are you standing there for? Come in!" Ava was a bit surprised, not expecting Alex to show up.
"You two know each other?" Patrick asked, looking slightly embarrassed.
