Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 666

"It's the warm weather..." After processing her words, Patrick questioned her with a faint smile, "I think it's

because of the butterflies in your stomach, don't you think so?"

"What are you talking about!" Amelia shoved his hands away, agitated, and turned around to go downstairs.

Just as her foot was going to fall on the first step, she was yanked back to Patrick by her wrist against her will!

Resisting him was useless!

Amelia was about to erupt from anger when Huxton's words crossed her mind. She must not fight fire with fire

because Patrick could not be persuaded by force! He needed to be coaxed! Bearing this thought in mind, Amelia

turned back around and tried her best to sound as calm as possible, "Mr. Hopper, what can | do for you to stop

being angry?"

Her tone sounded to Patrick as if he was coercing her into it.

Patrick returned coldly, "Aren't you the best at making men happy? Why do you need to ask me?"

Amelia's breath hitched, and she almost broke out into a quarrel with him again!

Then, a solution cto her. "How about you cwithto the hospital to see how badly Brittany fell?"

"Who is Brittany to me? Why should | care about her?" Patrick spat in arrogance.

Amelia pursed her lips at his response and could only resort to take out her phone from her pocket, showing

Patrick the text message from Alice from the night before.

Patrick looked down. His brows knitted into a scowl when he read the words 'the baby's gone' and then asked

after a moment of hesitation, "You were really doing it for Brittany and her child?"

"That's right!" Amelia took her phone back. "I could've seen Daniel any t| wanted to, so why would | choose

to go so late at night when it was the most suspicious to do so? Other than that, wouldn't | use the company's

official affairs as an excuse instead of using Brittany's personal reason?

Wouldn't that be more convincing?" Nearing the end of her statement, Amelia turned her tone into one of

grievance. "Even if you want to pick a fight with me, don't bringup in the ssentence as Daniel. It's

degrading me!"

Amelia's explanation not only cleared off her relationship with Daniel but also contained a hint of disdain.

The most compelling part was the message from Alice, the knot in Patrick's heart loosened only when he saw the

message. "Okay, we're over this."

Amelia breathed a sigh of relief and hugged his arm. She then said in eagerness, "Then let's go downstairs for

breakfast!"

His gaze swept over her hand that was holding onto his arm, finding it a struggle to suppress the joy that was

blooming in his chest. He managed to pull a straight face and said, "Now, let's talk about you and Huxton."

Amelia answered in confusion, "Huh? There's no problem with Huxton and me."

"Let's talk in my room." With that, Patrick turned around cooly and confidently.

He bet that Amelia would catch up with him since she was in such a hurry to make peace with him.

As per his expectation, Amelia watched his back as he strode away, then followed him obediently in the end.

Patrick sat on his chair after he entered his room, then spoke his mind about what troubled his sleep for the

entire night yesterday in a nonchalant tone, "You've been... pretty close to Huxton recently." Amelia paused in

midair in the middle of sitting down in her seat. "We live under the sroof. It must be difficult not to get close,

right?"

This idiot!

What he meant by ‘close’ was not just limited to its literal meaning!

Irritated, his index finger began tapping on his knee as Patrick asked tentatively, "How about | arrange for him to

stay outside?"

Amelia was finding it curious, why didn't he make this sort of decision himself? Why was he asking her?

Then, she shook her head as if remembering something, "I don't think it's necessary. It's good to have Huxton

living here."

"Why not?" Patrick asked gently, "You can't bear to part with him?"

Amelia expressed her honest opinion frankly, "That's not entirely the reason. The thing is, Huxton is very

dependable, and | feel safe with him at home. As for those men in black, you can remove them. They take up too

much space."

Leave Huxton behind, and get rid of the men in black.

Patrick's expression twitched slightly. Wasn't such special treatment enough to prove that Amelia and Huxton

were getting closer?

When Patrick was absorbed in his thought, Amelia said, "The most important thing is that I'm doing it for him and

Dr. Scarlett..."

"Huxton and Dr. Scarlett?" Patrick was stunned.

"Yea, didn't you notice it?"

"Notice what?"

"Well! I can't put my finger on it for the tbeing, but I have a feeling that something is going on between

Huxton and Dr. Scarlett! You keep Huxton here, and they can meet each other often when Dr. Scarlett comes by,

can't they?"

Patrick becinterested at the sound of this gossip. "So, you're saying Huxton is interested in Dr. Scarlett?"

"If that's the case, then | don't have to feel wary of Huxton anymore!" thought Patrick.

Amelia's eyes brightened and asked, "Are you also surprised that this poker face can also fall in love with a girl?"

At the thought of his subordinate

fancying another woman, a heavy

burden lifted off his heart. "It seems

that he's not that Een

Amelia suddenly glared at him and

said, "Coming back to it, you're

seriously annoying. You lied to me

and said that Huxton was impotence.

If Dr. Scarlett hadn't appeared, |

would've been kept in the dark for the

rest of my life." The content is on

A trace of unease crossed Patrick's brows. Didn't he only do it because he was afraid that Amelia would honey

trap Huxton to escape from his monitoring?

Patrick refuted unhappily, "You know more about Huxton than | do now."

Amelia smiled. "Yes, we have been around each other for a long time, and I've already regarded him as a friend."

Patrick scowled. "When did you start treating him as a friend?"

"When..." She paused for a moment. Amelia's eyes were filled with sorrow when she glanced at Patrick.

Patrick replied, "Tell me. Why don't you continue?"

Taking a deep breath, Amelia slowly gave him the answer, "When you left Northville for Timothy village."

At the sound of this, a sense of emptiness flooded Patrick's heart. He would probably never find out just how

much he had missed out on Amelia when he left for Timothy village.

"What did he do for you?" Patrick asked in an unreconciled manner, his imposing manner slightly faltering.

Amelia pressed her lips into a thin line, then said,

"You weren't there at that time, and then something happened to Apex Construction Corporation. | was so scared

and helpless."
