Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 689

Patrick suddenly remembered that he had a long talk with Amelia this morning which he had casually spoken to

get rid of all the staffs except for Huxton. "So, please letdo it." Amelia offered herself to undertake this task.

"No!" Patrick refused without hesitation.

"Why not?"

"It's dark outside. What if you accidentally trip and fall?"

"Do you really think that I'm going to go by foot?"

Howard spoke for Amelia, "I remember that Amelia can drive her own car."

"I won't allow even if you drive. With eyes as small as yours, | doubt you can watch out for yourself in the dark.

What if you collide into anyone?"

Amelia scratched her head in confusion. Their conversation sounded familiar to her.

"In this case, Patrick, why not you volunteer yourself as Amelia's chauffeur? You can drop her at the

supermarket." Howard smiled as he offered his suggestion. "Huh? Dad, let him stay at hand accompany

you. | can handle this on my own." Amelia did not seem to agree with Howard's suggestion.

"Amelia, listen to me. Let Patrick accompany you." Howard insisted.

Patrick glanced at Amelia meaningfully before he spoke again decisively, "Weren't you having something to say

tojust now? I'm giving you the chance to say it now." With that said, he passed by Amelia and marched in

direction of the shoe cabinet.

Amelia was rendered speechless as her anger overwhelmed her. She could tell that Patrick had agreed into

sending her simply because he wanted to avoid staying with Howard.

Before Howard's arrival, Patrick had made it clear that he was under no obligation to help her. In that case, his

sudden change of attitude must be motivated by sother reasons! Thinking of this, Amelia abruptly changed

her mind and said unexpectedly, "Dad, why not we let Patrick to go and get groceries while | stay at hand

accompany you?" Hearing this, Patrick stunned at his feet albeit he was reaching the door.

He forcibly took a few steps backwards and glared at Amelia who was helping Howard in sitting down,

"Aren't you going with me?"

Amelia shook her head and said, "I'm not going."

There was anger burning ferociously in his eyes as he said, "Why are you not going now? | thought you're the

one who said that you wanted to go and get groceries?" Amelia tried to justify her behavior in her explanation to

Patrick, "Yes, | did say that. But grocery shopping can be done by just one person. In that case, why should we

waste on unnecessary manpower?" "Amelia!" Patrick was going to have another outburst.

Amelia cut to the chase and said blatantly, "The most important thing is that I'm afraid that you're going to

abandonright away when you have something urgent again."

Patrick's heart skipped a beat, "Do you have to bring this up now?"

"No, I'm just trying to meet your expectation. Didn't you just askto understand your position?" Sensing his

frustration, Amelia continued, "Am | not an understanding person now? What else are you not happy with?"

Patrick could not tell how many times had he frowned today.

Upon digesting on their conversation, Howard could tell that there was a conflict ongoing between his son and

daughter-in-law.

As an elder, Howard felt obliged to talk to them over this.

He wondered to whom he should begin with the talking.

Patrick?

No. That was not a good idea.

Patrick was still feeling resentful against him. If Howard were to go and talk to him, most likely he would only

worsen the situation.

In that case, it would be better for him to start with Amelia.

Upon his careful deliberation, Howard made up his mind and spoke to Patrick, "Patrick, | agree with Amelia. Why

not you stay at hwhile | can do grocery shopping with Amelia?"

"What did you say?" Patrick questioned again in disbelief. He could not understand why would his father

intervene on this matter at this time.

Amelia enthusiastically responded, "Sure! Dad, please cwith me! You can take the chance to pick whatever

you like for your dinner."

Howard straightened his suit and smiled friendly, "Hmn, so here we go with this final decision!"

"What kind of decision is this?"

Patrick swore in his heart. He tried to force Howard into changing his mind by shooting him with a murderous

look!

However, Amelia had reached out to hold Howard's arm at this time. She said girlishly as if she was his daughter,

"Dad, let's go! Otherwise we are not in tfor the fresh stuffs!" "Alright! Sure!" Howard glanced at Amelia

affectionately.

Patrick could only watch them walking pass him. Yet he was too proud to ask them to stay.

He was now hoping that Amelia could change her mind and refused Howard's companion.

It was as if Amelia could read his mind. She turned around at this tand looked at him before she said, "Please

make sure you watch the house."

With that said, she quickly turned her head back.

Patrick was left exasperated at the thought that Amelia had been taking him as the watchdog of the house!

Initially, Patrick had thought of putting aside his pride and following them. However, this thought vanished

completely followed by Amelia's words.

In the car.

Amelia sat right next to Howard at

the back seat of the car. She said,

I" : :

Dad, | knew that there is a big, m

"Noted." The driver acknowledged Howard's order. Upon ensuring that both Howard and Amelia had fastened

their seatbelts, He began to drive in direction of the address given to him.

On the way.

"Amelia, what's going on between you and Patrick?"

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Do you still want to keep it from me? The two of you almost got into a fight just now at home."

Amelia pouted gloomily.

Despite feeling angry and discontented, Amelia did not think that it was appropriate and necessary to lodge a

complaint to Howard.

After all, it was rare for the old folk in getting a chance to cover and visit them. She should not have

bothered him now with the trivial and unpleasant matter.

"Really?" Howard murmured. He knew very well that Patrick could be arrogant and unreasonable sometimes.

There was no doubt that he had made Amelia upset. However, he could not do anything to help if Amelia insisted

to keep it from him.

"By the way, dad." Amelia changed the topic and asked, "How's mom?"

The color of Howard's face immediately drained off. He replied sarcastically, "Ever since | built a worship hall, I've

been spending long hours in there chanting. Right now both of us are still getting along well." "It's good to hear

this."

"Amelia, do you think that I'm in fact a useless man in this family?" "No! | know it's the only way after weighing

the pros and cons. | understand."

Eve's character had turned extremely aggressive. She could have been simply triggered by anything done by

Howard.
