Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 496

Milton lit his cigarette and took a puff before saying hoarsely, "They said Maryanne and | are at our best age

about marriage. They toldnot to waste my tanymore." Amelia asked, "Aunt Sierra wants this as well?"

Milton nodded lightly.

"It seems that Aunt Sierra has a good impression of Maryanne," Amelia said.

nn

Hearing that, Milton took a longer inhale of the

cigarette.

Amelia had no choice but to roll down the window and said to Milton, "Stop smoking. | have a few questions for

you."

Milton turned his charming but gloomy face away and replied, "Ask away."

Amelia looked at him firmly. "You and Maryanne are lovers, which means that you are with her because you like

her. Since that's the case, why are you so resistant to this marriage?"

Milton's body tensed up, and there was an untamed emotion running wild in his chest. He wanted to tell the

truth but could not say it out loud. In the end, he hastily said, "Even if | like her, | didn't think | would get married

so early."

Amelia thought the sand said, "Well, what did Maryanne say?"

Milton slammed his hand hard on the steering wheel and expressed, "She's the one I'm the angriest about! She

actually agreed to it!"

Amelia replied, "Maryanne must like you a lot as well, or else she wouldn't have agreed."

"And how did you know that she likes me?" Milton's eyebrow raised high into his forehead, explicitly showing his

astonishment.

Amelia gave a thought about it and said, "It was the twhen you had a fever. Patrick and | cby your

house to see you, and we saw Maryanne when we left. She must have cto visit you, didn't she? From that

ton, | felt that she really cared about you."

""A shadow crossed Milton's eyes. The matter

was not about whether or not Maryanne cared about him. The problem was that he did not care about Maryanne

at all!

He thought he could avoid any relationship entanglement if he got together with a girl that he hated the most.

However, things took a different turn than he had expected!

The most terrifying thing was that he had no control of where the flow was going!

Seeing that Milton was keeping silent, Amelia felt that her words might not have reached him. So she returned to

being the listener, "Then what are you going to do now?"

Milton took a good look at her, the reluctance and decisiveness in his eyes alternating. "I have already appealed

to the enterprise. I'll fly to the British branch for development. So, I've ctoday to say goodbye as well."

Amelia's eyes opened wide, and her voice changed as well. "Milton, you must think it over!"

Milton closed his eyes and then opened them again. With a determined tone, he said, "I've made up my mind."

"No, wait!" Amelia thought quickly. "Aunt Sierra only has you as her son. If she hears that you are going to the

UK, she'll stop forcing you to marry Maryanne because she doesn't want to part with you. This way, you don't

have to leave!"

Milton sighed and said, "What if...she doesn't stop?"

Amelia bit her lip and suggested, "How about you discuss it with Maryanne for another couple of years?"

Milton glanced at her and said, "Do you think I'll cto you if that's going to be helpful?"

Amelia sympathetically said, "Then, | really can't help you."

Milton continued to bask in pensiveness. "I've brought this upon myself, and | didn't expect you to help me

either. I've cto tell you about my decision, but you're the only person who knows. Please keep it a secret."

He had brought this upon himself?

Amelia did not understand Milton's tacit meaning, but she comprehended what he meant on the surface. "You

wantto keep it a secret and then fly to the UK alone?" "That's right."

"But Aunt Sierra will be worried."

"It doesn't matter. I'll find a tto tell her when I arrive in the UK,."

Amelia hesitated for a long moment before saying, "But...aren't you a little irresponsible? Maryanne is your

girlfriend, and she really likes you, so it's not wrong of her to want to marry you. On the other hand, Aunt Sierra

is your mother. So, it's also reasonable for her to worry about your marriage and want to bring you and

Maryanne together. If you don't like their decisions, you should find a common ground instead of leaving like

this."

Milton's eyes bored into Amelia's. After a long time, he asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"

Amelia thought out loud, "If | were you, | would gather them together and talk it out peacefully."

Milton asked pessimistically, "And what if | can't change their mind?"

"That's better than not giving it a try."

Amelia exhaled a warm breath as she watched the car disappeared from her sight. She thought to herself that

Milton should have gotten the answer he wanted.

She turned and walked in the opposite direction of Milton. When Amelia pressed the doorbell, the housekeeper

cto the door with a mop in her left hand.

She was confused and asked, "Auntie, didn't you just mop the floor this morning?"

"Ah, it's a long story. Cin, Miss Amelia. Don't get cold."

The denial was too automatic, and there was something wrong with it. Amelia was not pleased and said, "What's

wrong with him? He can just catif he's angry. Why trouble you? I'll go talk to him!"

The housekeeper quickly grabbed Amelia's arm and said eagerly, "Miss Amelia, don't go. | accidentally made a

mess in the kitchen, so | was cleaning it up. It had nothing to do with Mr. Hopper!"

"Is that true?" A hint of suspicion showed up in Amelia's face. Without waiting for her to say anything else, she

passed the housekeeper and entered the kitchen.

"Miss Amelia! It's really nothing. Don't look at it!" Aunty quickly followed in case Amelia noticed anything.

When Amelia cto the dining table, she looked down and saw that there was one small patch of uncleaned

gron the floor. Other than that, she did not see anything else.

Amelia believed her and said, "It seems that | had misunderstood him."

The housekeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Miss Amelia, are you hungry? I'll prepare something for you."

Amelia nodded and said, "Okay."

She then turned her attention and followed the housekeeper into the kitchen, wanting to see what Patrick left out

from dinner.

As a result, she saw that the trash can was filled with leftovers. From the look of the discarded food, it looked the

sas what she had made for Patrick.
