Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 445

After that, she obediently said to him, "Thank you, granduncle." Then she went to the next one.

Patrick introduced, "This is my uncle."

Amelia said: "Merry Christmas, uncle!"

"Ding!" She once again received a gift.

Patrick introduced, "This is my cousin."

Amelia said, "Merry Christmas!"

Ding! Another gift was received.

Amelia's mood was shifted from astonishment to not feeling surprise in the end. She finally understood why

these people gave her gifts. These elders did not know when she got married with Patrick. Now that they knew,

they had to quickly make it up for them by giving her gifts.

At this time, Patrick gave her a subtle look, and Amelia immediately understood his intention. They went

together to the last two elders whom they had not greeted yet.

Patrick introduced, "This is my grandaunt-in-law. The one next to her is her daughter. You can just call her aunty."

Amelia said, "Merry Christmas, grandaunt! Merry Christmas, aunty!"

After saying that, Amelia began to wait for the gift inertially. But instead of giving her gift, grandaunt rolled her

eyes at her.

Grandaunt said, "It's Christmas, and you didn't even say any auspicious words, you are so dull."

Ella of the Dollar family then said, "Hey! Mom, she might not know that we are such a big family. Didn't she just

greeted you Merry Christmas?"

Amelia felt that Ella made the situation even more awkward.

Patrick interrupted and said, "Grandaunt, aunty, you must be tired traveling all this while, my wife and I will not

bother you then."

When he was about to leave with his arms around Amelia's lovely waist, Aunt Ella suddenly stood up and said to

him with a smile, "Patrick, | brought your cousin withthis time. She is chit-chatting with your eldest sister-in-

law on the second floor. You were both always good with each other. Do you want to talk to her?"

When Aunt Ella said this, she did not bother on the existence of Amelia. Amelia did not think much of it either.

Instead, she looked at Patrick understanding” and said, "Mr. Hopper, if you want to go up, just go. I'll join Owen

and Florence."

Patrick's face turned gloomy, that was "generous" of Amelia, but he felt relieved in an instant. After all, Amelia

did not know the Dollars" intention of getting married with close relatives, so he eased his anger and said, "I'll

accompany you downstairs to greet the guests."

"Alright." Amelia just asked casually out of politeness. If Patrick really left, she would be nervous to face so many

guests on her own.

Knowing that Patrick was unwilling to go upstairs, Ella change another approach, "Then I'll ask your cousin to

cdownstairs. It's so impolite for her to chit-chat with your sister-in-law alone upstairs since there's so many

relatives here."

Amelia was speechless for a moment. Then she whispered to Patrick, "Aunt Ella is very... special."

"You want to say that she's fickle-minded, don't you?" Patrick spoke his mind for her.

Wasn't it fickle?

First persuading Patrick to go upstairs, then said that it was impolite to stay upstairs, did elderly women have

such a hard-to-understand mind?" Amelia thought.

In a few words, Second Aunt already went upstairs to knock on the door. After greeting the elders, Amelia was

dragged by Patrick to greet his peers.

With the sgeneration, Amelia felt less stressful and more relaxed.

In a group of cousins who were greeting each other, Amelia saw a boy in a blue and white striped team uniform

with his pants rolled up to his knees and a skateboard besides his sturdy legs. He was scolded by his elders that

he did not study but only playing all day long. He even failed to reach the average standard in the class for his

paper in the final exam!

Amelia smiled unintentionally but she

was being noticed by Patrick. He

Amelia could not help glancing at him. "As a busy person like you, why you able to remember the details so

clearly?"

A trace of tenderness flashed in Patrick's eyes. "They are all my family. Shouldn't | remember them clearly?"

Amelia felt that she did not know him enough. She always thought that Patrick's ruthlessness was far more than

affection, but it seemed that she was too arbitrary.

This man's gentleness and care for others were hidden deep inside, and this kind of "practical" care was more

touching than the "ostensible" one.

At this time, a rant attracted the attention of Patrick and Amelia, "Hayden, I'm talking to you. Do you want to get

beaten by turning your head away and show your ass at me?"

Hayden's father felt a little embarrassed when he saw his son showing his temper. When he wanted to criticize

him more severely, he saw both Patrick an Amelia appeared in front of them with Patrick holding Amelia in his

arms.

Before Hayden and his father were about to quarrel, Patrick pushed Amelia in front of them timely and said,

"Uncle, this is my wife. Don't you want to meet her?"

His words instantly diverted Hayden's father's attention and his face changed drastically. When he looked at

Amelia, he had put on a kind smile and said, "What's your name? | can't always be calling you 'Patrick's wife’,

right?"
