Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 574

Amelia frowned in protest. She had a feeling that Patrick was trying to find fault with her with this phone call.

She glanced at Huxton and suggested, "Can't you tell him that I'm not here?"

Unexpectedly, Huxton was surprisingly good to negotiate with this time. "Alright, I'll try."

Amelia nodded. Just as she made her way to the kitchen with a relief, Huxton's voice sounded again, "Madam, sir

told you to drop the act. He knows you're home." Amelia's expression stiffened.

Huxton relayed Patrick's message from the other side of the phone and said, "Sir said that if you don't pick up his

call, then it must be because you're too busy. He don't want you to be over-exhausted, so he has decided to help

you resign from the company."

Amelia clenched her fists and rushed back to Huxton. She took the receiver from him and asked angrily, "Patrick

Hopper! What the hell do you want?"

Patrick was so infuriated that his face paled. She was the one who did not answer his calls several times, and

now she still dared to shout at him.

"Amelia, you're so great now, huh? How dare you talk tolike that!"

Amelia took a few short breaths, "Spit what you wanted to say! | don't have much time!"

Patrick retorted viciously, "Not much time? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"

Hearing such great malice, Amelia put the receiver back to its holder without reluctance!

Huxton raised his eyebrows and asked, "Madam, aren't you afraid that sir will make you quit your job?"

Amelia threw caution to the wind and replied, "It doesn't matter. If he makesresign, | can find another job."

Huxton said bluntly, "But as long as sir gives an order, you'll have nowhere to go."

Amelia glared at Huxton. "Can you stop puttingoff? I'm already in a very tight spot."

At the primary school at Timothy Village.

Patrick stood at the first-years staff office door and felt his chest heaved and undulated violently. He did not

expect to be hung up on over and over again, and it was the sperson who kept hanging up on him!

"No way! | have to go back to Northville as soon as possible. Otherwise, Amelia will wreak havoc!" thought

Patrick.

Just as Patrick was staring at his phone, a girl in faded school uniform ran over to him. She mumbled with her

little dirty finger in her mouth, "Uncle..."

Hearing her delicate voice calling him uncle, Patrick subconsciously turned his head and found the girl looking up

at him with a pair of innocently pure, big eyes.

He could not help but restrain his anger and asked, "What's the matter?"

The little girl took out her index finger that was wet with her saliva and pointed in a direction. "Teacher Sissi is

moving the books in the library... The books are heavy... Need Uncle's help."

Patrick felt like he had just woken up from a dream. Earlier, he had been so engrossed in venting his anger on

Amelia that he had completely forgotten that he had chere with a mission. The teaching team that cto

the village brought a lot of books with them. However, due to the lack of manpower, Sissi cto his room early

this morning and sincerely asked him for help. He would never refuse her requests for help!

Even to this day, he still maintained this habit.

"Uncle?" Seeing that Patrick was motionless, the little girl called out to him softly.

Patrick cback to his senses. "Yes, alright. | will be right there."

At the library.

Patrick walked into the tiniest library that he had ever entered, and his attention landed on Sissi right away, who

was squatting on the ground and sorting out children's books. Her movements were feathery gentle as if she was

afraid that she would ruin the precious textbooks on the ground.

If it had been someone else, Patrick would have thought that they were putting up an act. However, this person

was Sissi, who loved books all her life. He had known this about her since long ago. Walking in front of her,

Patrick asked with an impassive face, "There doesn't seem to be a huge workload. Is it necessary forfor

help?"

"You're here?" Sissi looked up at him and said helplessly, "Sure, there aren't that many books. I can finish

arranging them by myself, but it'll takea day to do it. If you help me, | can start teaching the students this

afternoon. Won't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

"Teaching?" From his view, Patrick tilted her chin up with his index finger and asked her, "Can the lessons you

prepared be appropriate for the preadolescences?"

Sissi's eyes slightly trembled, and the color on her face faded completely. "What did you mean by

that?"

Patrick smiled lightly and said, "Nothing. | was just asking."

Sissi turned her face away and held back her tears. She said, "If you don't want to help me, then forget it. Why

did you say those words to hurt me?"

At Roxxon Corporation.

During the lunch break, Amelia received a call from Milton. After hearing what he said, she was stunned...

"What? You and Maryanne are leaving the day after tomorrow? Where are you going? The UK!"

Amelia sprang up from her office chair and asked anxiously, "What tis the flight? I'm going to send you off!

No, no! You're going to the UK for years, meaning we won't have much tto meet in the future. Is it

convenient for you to cout to meetthese two days? | need to send you off!"

Milton replied softly, and Amelia nodded in return. "Okay! Let's go to that place, Welcoming Chinese Hotpot

Restaurant!"

In the evening.

Amelia did not want to go hfor the tbeing, but she was afraid that Huxton would send the men in black

to search the whole city for her if he did not see her. So, she called hand explained to him the situation.

Huxton kept silent for a couple of seconds, and then asked, "Madam, are you taking revenge on Mr.

Hopper by being unfaithful?"

Amelia sweated a little and said,

"What are you thinking about! I'm just

going to send off my oh fiead pith

a Eels dinper: Jubt farewell

diarter: do you understand?" "Farewell

dinner? That's to say, you may have

to drink with him?" Huxton hesitated

for a moment and then asked,

"Should I tell sir?" The content is on

Amelia snorted. "It doesn't matter! I'm not doing anything disgraceful. Besides... | may not be Mrs. Hopper soon."

After a silence, Huxton expressed sentimentally, "This is the only time, Madam, that | don't wish for you to lose."

With that, when Amelia was stuck in surprise by what he had said, Huxton ended the call.

In the evening, in the library at the primary school in Timothy Village.

Clapping his hands, Patrick arranged the last batch of books on the bookshelf and climbed down the ladder.

The next second, a wet wipe was handed to him. He accepted it naturally.

"You're still the sas before, with your obsession with cleanliness." Sissi, who was standing and holding the

ladder at the side, looked at him and smiled.

Patrick stopped wiping his hands. He

scrunched up the wet tissue into a

ball and tossed it into the ash Eh

Hurt flashed across Sissi's expression. She lowered her gaze and fell silent.

away and said in a rough voice,

"Okay..." Sissi followed closely behind him at his heel, eagerly and lovably.
