Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 684

Amelia nodded, thinking that Alice's analysis was truly reasonable and convincing.

Alice earnestly said, "Amelia, | don't care whether you believeor not, but Kaleb and | are not having any

affairs. After all, the only man | love is your father."

"Aunty Alice, it's not that | don't trust you. | just feel that Kaleb is indeed a disgusting man! | can't believe he's

doing that on you publicly? Why don't you just give him a tight slap in his face so that he will know how to

behave next time?"

Amelia felt extremely uncomfortable whenever she mentioned Kaleb. She wished that she could rip his perverted

face right away.

Alice forced a smile, "I know what's on his mind. But | can't afford to ruin the plans now considering that he

somewhat has a say in Apex Construction. Neither do | want to see him making your situation difficult nor do |

want to see him bringing troubles to the company. | can only bear with it."

Upon learning of Alice's true intention, Amelia could not help feeling ashamed. She had never been thoughtful or

understanding in the past. All she did was to go against Alice and rebel with her father for every decisions made

by Alice.

Had she listened to her father and went according to his plan laid down for her during her university tand

joined Apex Construction right away after she graduated, most probably Daniel would have nothing to do with

the company anymore.

After a long silence, Amelia suddenly held Alice's hand and promised, "Aunty Alice, | will definitely make your

suffering worthwhile! When | manage to conclude several big investments and strike a few business deals, | will

be able to build my own reputation and status in the company. Until then, Kaleb can survive in the company no

more!"

Alice was filled with hope all over again. She looked at Amelia and said, "I'll wait for that day."

Seeing Alice's soft and temperament as if she was a helpless sheep awaiting for slaughtering, Amelia could not

help feeling worried, "One more thing Aunty Alice, you can't keep tolerate with Kaleb without a limit. Otherwise,

he will only becmore aggravated! Maybe you can learn from what | did the other night in the hospital. You

can threaten to tell his wife and kids. | heard people from the company saying that his wife is a fierce character.

Otherwise, Kaleb would not have thought of having affairs outside."

Alice pursed his lips into a smile, "Sure, | know what to do. Don't worry."

Amelia felt uneasy and said, "Who is worried about you? | am just worried that you will betray my father!"

Hearing this, Alice said in an extraordinarily serious manner, "I can promise to you, | will never betray your father

even if | have to go through hell!"

"Stop right there! Don't talk nonsense!" Amelia scoffed. She could not bear to hear anyone cursing themselves

this way, "You're such a useless person then if Kaleb that pig can easily force you to death!" Upon seeing

Amelia's concerning look, Alice felt a rush of warmth in her heart, "Amelia, how much | wish that you're my

daughter by blood. | would have given the best of everything in this world to you." Although she was still upset

by the early death of her mother by blood, Amelia purposely replied relaxingly, "Isn't foster daughter sas

your own daughter? Aunty Alice, you'd better make sure that you treat both of us fairly. Otherwise, | will

complain to my own mother that you've been torturingevery night in my dream."

In fact, Amelia was not actually lying about this. During the first few years right after

Petty Simmons committed suicide. Amelia had always dreamt of her.

Hence, during her dream at night she had been

complaining to Petty that Alice did not treat her well. Not only that Alice had hit and scold her, she would not let

Amelia ate too. The worst scenawas that she had complained that Alice had wanted to kick her out from the

house...

Amelia wanted Petty to cback and take care of her by saying so.

Of course, in fact, Alice had never done anything ruthless to her.

At the end of the day, these were just her unspeakable fear underlying in her heart. What the dream did was just

to manifest it.

Amelia was somehow freeing herself from her own fear by revealing it to Alice at this moment.

Without any of them realizing, the two of them had in fact beccloser.

Alice reached out her hand to pinch Amelia's delicate nose affectionately, "Look what you said! Your words have

never been kind to anyone!"

This was the first tthat Alice had done something so intimate to her. Amelia suddenly felt the urge to cry.

Looking away in a hurry, Amelia said to Alice, "Aunty Alice, please hurry to get Brittany something to eat. | have

to go now." "Okay, be safe." Alice reminded her. At Land of Fragrance.

Amelia saw Huxton standing beside the shoe cabas soon as she entered the house. She asked curiously,

"What are you doing here? Are you a statue?" Huxton remained calm and said, "I'm waiting for madam to come

back for lunch."

"Waiting for me?" Amelia sized up him cautiously before she asked in a suspicious manner, "I doubt if you will be

kind-hearted."

Huxton did not answer Amelia's question and said bluntly, "Madam, your lunch is served. They are all your

favorite dishes. Please take off your shoes first." Pausing for a few seconds, his gaze fell onto Amelia's dusty

shoes and said, "If you had already been tired, I'm willing to remove the shoes for you." With that said, Huxton

intended to kneel on one of his knee.

Amelia was frightened to the extent that she stepped backward and hurriedly said, "Oh, no! Don't get yourself

busy, I'm fine on my own."

"Alright." Huxton straightened his back and stood aside.

Amelia stared at Huxton as if she had just bumped into a ghost while she removed her heels.

Before she could take her slippers from the shoe rack, Huxton had already taken one step ahead of her and

offered her the pair of slippers with both hands. The corners of Amelia's mouth twitched, "Put it on the ground

then."

Huxton positioned the pair of woman slippers right in front of her toes so that she could slip her feet into them

easily from behind.

"Madam, please be seated then."

He was too suspicious to be real.

In particular, Huxton had been invited her to be seated with a poker face, as if she was the 'dish' that needed to

be processed on the table.

Huxton who was standing behind Amelia, asked, "Are you satisfied with the dishes, madam?"

"Yes, I'm so satisfied!" The dishes were beyond her satisfaction that she could feel her saliva dripping onto her

plate.

Huxton smiled and pulled out a chair for her gentlemanly, "Please have a seat, madam."

Sitting down, Amelia shifted her suspicious gaze onto Huxton and said, "You can tellnow. Why had you been

so attentive today?"

Huxton's expression froze in an instant, "Madam, I'm just doing my part. Please enjoy your meal."
