Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 1001

Milton's face lit up with joy as he thought about it. He felt that it was a blessing in disguise!

In Amelia's eyes, his smirk made her think that he had gone mad due to his loss of such a valuable item.

"Hey... Are you okay?"

She waved her arms in front of Milton's eyes and tried to pull his wandering soul back into him.

Milton grabbed her hand and said sadly, "Amelia, take it! Look at it. It's already broken. If | give it to someone

else, they will think it's a second-hand item and think that I'm humiliating them!"

Amelia could not stand him any longer. Besides, the bracelet had turned out to be like this because of her, too.

Seeing that it had becso "unworthy", Amelia decided, "Fine, I'll take it."

Milton's eyes lit up immediately, but Amelia put on a serious face and said, "This is the first and the last tI'll

accept such a gift from you. If there's a second time, | would smash it myself!"

"No problem!" Milton answered with pleasure but he did not take it seriously. Instead, he thought to

himself, "Next time? We'll talk about it then!"

After pausing, Milton said enthusiastically to Amelia, "Giveyour hand and I'll help you put it on."

Upon hearing that, Amelia beca little hesitant as she took a quick glance at the bracelet.

Due to her hesitation, Milton laughed lightly and teased, "Are you looking down on it because it's broken?"

Amelia frowned. "No! If that's the case, | wouldn't have accepted it when it's broken."

"What is the matter then? Are you afraid that it will hurt?"

A thought popped into Milton's mind. He knew that before women put on their bracelets, they usually apply

moisturizers on their hands to make it easier for them to put them on. He was afraid that he might really hurt

Amelia if he were to force the bracelet onto her wrist.

"It's not like that." Amelia said bluntly, "Milton, I'm married. | don't think it's appropriate forto wear any

accessories given by other men."

Milton was shocked for a second and he asked in a faint tone, "From my point of view, you're afraid that it will

cause a conflict betweenand your husband, aren't you?" "I..." Milton was exactly on point. For a moment,

Amelia was speechless.

He thought that Milton was going to put on the cry-and-hang-himself show. Unexpectedly, he said, "I know your

husband is narrow-minded. If he sees you wearing a bracelet on your wrist, he would definitely burst into anger.

In his eyes, he would not believe it even if you say this is just an ordinary accessory that was gifted by a friend.

Besides, I'm not much better than him. Even if I'm in front of Patrick, | still hope you can tell him that it's a gift

from me.

But if you say this, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape from misfortune. How about this, promisethat

you'll keep this bracelet well. No matter where you go, take it with you so that | can stop worrying. Is that a

deal?"

Amelia felt that what she held back all these times were spoken out by Milton.

She took a deep breath and whispered, "Milton, you're really my best friend. Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Milton's eyes darkened.

Amelia had been emphasizing the word "best friend" all the time. She was constantly reminding him not to have

any other misunderstanding regarding their relationship except for just being friends.

After they have eaten and chatted for a long time, Milton suggested to visit to Amelia's company.

Amelia nodded and said yes.

Before that, she placed the bracelet back into the box and kept the box into the leather bag that she carried with

her every day.

After that, she insisted on paying the bill as she was the host. Then, she said to Milton, "Let's go."

"Sure." Milton looked at her with a smile. His eyes were so warm that they could melt everything.

Amelia was walking ahead on their way there, where suddenly, she thought of something and turned to ask By

the way you cback at such late hour last night. Did you call Aunt Sierra in advance? b remember that Aunt

Sierra goes to bed very early." s

Milton's lips curled into a smile when he heard how much Amelia cared about his mother. "I was thinking of

visiting her with you, | was worried that | mother if would disturb m went htoo late, so | chose to

stay in the nearest hotel after getting off the plane. | was planning on

going himmediately after this to give her a surprise."

Amelia smiled at him. "Okay! Sierra mentioned you many times on the phone.

She will be very happy to see you here!"

Milton stared at her smile and could not help but say, "If | could take you home, my mom would be happier."

Without saying anything, the smile on Amelia's face froze.

Milton realized that he made an indiscreet remark and said, "Ahem! What | mean is, if Maryanne could come

back to visit my mom withthis time, my mom would be very happy. But since she could not make it, so |

thought about pulling you over to make up for it!"

Hearing what she said, Amelia's mouth twitched and she asked curiously, "By the

way, why didn't Maryanne cback with you?"

She had been wanting to ask him about this for a long time.

However, earlier on whilst being on the phone, Milton fell silent as soon as she mentioned Maryanne.

Since she waited for him to bring it up, how could she not take advantage of the opportunity?

Milton's eyes darkened and he said carelessly. "Maryanne is spending her twith her friends in England, so

she doesn't want to cback with me."

"No way?" Amelia thought for a moment. "Northville is her home! Her parents and brother are here. How

can she not miss them?"

Milton narrowed his eyes and his tone dropped. "I'm not her. How do | know what she is up to every day?"

Amelia asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with you? Why are you being so dead serious?"

"Nothing." Milton answered calmly, "The weather is so hot. Taketo your company, please. | need the air

conditioner!"

"Oh, sure!"

As soon as Amelia turned around to lead the way, Milton looked at her in a frazzled manner.

He could not tell her that he had known about Maryanne pushing her down the stairs for a long tand that he

was with Maryanne because he wanted to take revenge on her. Therefore, there was no need for her to care for

Maryanne at all.

What he did not say was that the reason why Maryanne stayed in England was because she was receiving

treatments in the hospital, so he took this opportunity to cback to Northville.

In the black car, Patrick watched as Amelia and Milton walked out of Amido Cafe and disappeared through the

door leading to Apex Construction Corporation. The look of loneliness on his face at this moment was ineffable.

The secretary stared at him eagerly with a seafood bento in her hand. This was the best meal she could get.

"Mr. Hopper, it looks likes Madam Ramsay had left the cafe. Is it tfor you to take your lunch yet?"
