Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 378

Amelia looked down and said in a tense voice, "Mr. Hopper... I'm sorry. If Cynthia had toldearlier that there

was nothing that happened between you, | wouldn't have been so suspicious." "I understand. It was my fault this

time. Fortunately, | didn't make a serious mistake."

Patrick admitted his mistake quickly. As he spoke, his lips got closer and closer to her. When he was about to kiss

her, he heard Amelia say, "I also have something to tell you."

Patrick forced himself to stop. His gaze fell on her lips with desire. "Speak."

Amelia said frankly, "After receiving Cynthia's call last night, | threw away the cake | had made for you."

"Huh?" Patrick's handsface was full of surprise. "You made a cake for me? When?"

Amelia said frustratedly, "When | got off work the day before yesterday. | wanted to give you a surprise, but |

didn't expect that so many things would have happened. It was my first tto make a cake, but it was tossed

into a waste container."

Patrick's dark eyes were full of regret. "Mrs. Hopper, would you make another one for me?"

Amelia thought for a moment before she said, "Then we'll have to wait until next year."

Patrick was not satisfied. "Why do | have to wait? | want one today!"

Amelia was in a dilemma. "But your birthday is over. In Northville, we only celebrate birthdays in advance, and

there's no such custom as delaying it."

Patrick proudly raised his chin and said, "I can't be the first one to do that?"

"Well... you can! But not today."

Under Patrick's unhappy gaze, Amelia said pitifully, "You don't know how unlucky | was. Yesterday when | was

about to get off work, Hobart calledand leftto work on the sales report in the company. When | was

about to finish, the company was out of power. | have to redo it again later so | don't have tto make a cake

for you for the tbeing."

Patrick narrowed his eyes and cto figure the whole thing out by Amelia's words. "So, nothing is going on

between you and Hobart?"

"Of course not!"

"Then why did | see you hugging each other?"

"That's because | was about to fall over and Hobart was kind enough to help me. And we both wound up falling

to the ground together." Patrick scoffed. "Kind? Humph! It'd be strange if he

would be kind!"

Amelia disagreed a little bit. "Eh? Although sometimes he looks like a good guy and sometimes a bad one, he is

generally a nice person."

Patrick couldn't help roaring, "You work overton my birthday. Once Hobart was there, the company was

power-off. When | cto the sales department to find you, you were in Hobart's arms. How can there be so

many coincidences in the world?"

"Stop yelling, I'm going deaf," said Amelia softly. She was almost dizzy by his loud voice.

But Patrick was still anxious. "Listen carefully. You are not allowed to see him alone anymore. You'd better not

even contact him personally!"

Amelia found that this man was so unfair. After clearing the misunderstanding with Cynthia, he began to refuse

to leave her mistake alone.

She mumbled like an aggrieved little woman, "It's not like | contacted him first. | have always been in charge of

the cooperation with Mills Skincare Products Corp. Ltd. How can | not pick up his phone call wher he delegates

tasks for me?"

Patrick said in a non-negotiable tone, "In that case, from today on, hand over the businesses related to Mills to

Doris!"

"Oh." Amelia put her hands behind her back, bowed her head, and said in a low voice, "You should have said that

earlier."

Patrick was annoyed by the way she downplayed it. For whom he was so angry? He was jealous because of her,

the ungrateful chick!

Hang on... Jealousy?

Patrick paused before he took a significant look at Amelia. For the first time, without avoiding his true feelings,

he said, "Amelia, | seem to... like you."

Amelia's mind went blank for a moment and she forgot to reply.

With the corner of his lips curling up, Patrick surprised her again. "Maybe | can accept your proposal and give it a

try."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Amelia seemed to have heard the sound of fireworks exploding in her ears with ecstasy!

At Roxxon Corporation.

"Amelia, what happened to you today? You've been wearing that smile all the time."

During the work, Doris asked, poking Amelia on her waist gently with her elbow while Lily was not paying

attention to them.

Amelia turned around with beaming eyes and said,

"Have I? Did | smile?"

Doris was at a loss for words.

That was when Amelia's phone randomly placed on the table buzzed and interrupted her laughter.

Amelia returned to her serious manner and put it through, "Hello..."

"Amelia!" Jessica was in a noisy environment, and her voice was not very clearly heard. "Can you go back to

Lotus Apartment now? | have something very urgent to tell you!"

Lotus Apartment was where Amelia and Jessica had shared for many years. After Amelia got married, Jessica

adopted Sierra and lived with her.

"Huh? What happened, Jessica? Why is it so noisy over there?"

Jessica was so troubled that she

"What!" Amelia bounced up from the chair with her eyes wide open.

At Lotus Apartment.

When Amelia arrived, she saw that the small room, which should have been intact, had been emptied. Only

Jessica was left in the corner weeping

with Sierra in her arms.

Sierra was so young that she had no idea what had happened. Seeing Jessica crying, she could only wave her

little hands to comfort her mother while babbling.

Amelia put down her backpack and walked over to them carefully. She squatted down and called, "Jessica..."

in this and just hang up the phone!

The more Amelia heard, the more shocked she was. What Jessica encountered now must have something to do

with Jocelyn.

She licked her dry lips and asked Jessica, "Have you contacted your mother these two days?"

"My mother?" Jessica thought for a few seconds and said awkwardly, "She called me, but | didn't

answer it."

Amelia met her eyes in silence. It seemed that she was right. Patrick had made his move!

He would kill them all! As long as they had something to do with Jocelyn, Patrick would not let any of them get

away with it!

After a few seconds of disturbance, Amelia quickly made arrangements. "Jessica, do you have cash on you now?

If you don't, take mine!"
