Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 968

As soon as Patrick and Owen showed up in the hall again, Florence was the first to notice their return. She asked

nervously, "Where had you been?"

Had They Gone For A Fight?

Florence could not stop thinking about this possibility.

The two siblings seemed calm and collected.

Patrick said, "I went to smoke at the balcony."

Owen said, "I went to the washroom."

Florence asked again, "Then why did you cback together?"

Simultaneously they said, "It's a coincidence."

The corner of Florence's mouth twitched. She wondered if they thought that they could fool her with such a lame

excuse. After all, the balcony and washroom were located at two different end of the house. Nora, too, noticed

that the two men had returned to the hall. Since she had excused herself for a while back in the kitchen with

Amelia, apparently she had missed the conflicts between the two men earlier. Smiling, she said, "Owen, Patrick,

we're all waiting for you! Look, Amelia had reserved two slices of cake for each of you."

Patrick immediately threw a glance at Amelia with his gaze intense.

Amelia blinked her eyes unnaturally. Apparently she noticed the stare from Patrick, yet she refused to look up

and meet his gaze.

From Patrick's angle of view, all he could see was that Amelia was keeping her head buried as she feasted

herself with the slice of cake.

Owen glanced at the two slices of cakes on the table before he said, "Amelia, that's very kind of you."

Out of courtesy, Amelia was forced to glance up and said, "Don't mention it, Owen."

The next second, Ashley exclaimed with her voice filled with surprise, "Wow! There's gummy in the cake!"

Chewing, Andrew muffled, "I found gummies in the cake too! I'm impressed by Aunty Amelia's baking skill. She

added things that we don't usually get to eat in normal days."

For the sake of their health, Nora would usually limit the amount of sweets that the kids consin order to

prevent them from having tooth decay.

However, Nora had taken this occasion as the exception for the kids.

After all, the portion of the cake entitled by each of the children was not much after the cake had been divided

equally among everyone.

At this moment, Patrick had already cin the direction of her. He then sat on the couch right opposite of her.

This time, she had no other mean to avoid him any longer.

Upon noticing that Amelia was stunned as soon as he sat down in front of her, Patrick could not help sneering.

She refused to meet his eyes still. Patrick began to wonder if she was still holding grudge against him for

embarrassing her earlier.

But it did not matter whether she was still mad at him or not. After all, the gun was with him and it would always

be.

Upon finishing the cakes, Andrew and Ashley both fell back onto the couch satisfactorily with their bellies stuffed.

At the sight of this, Nora spoke to the kids dedicatedly, "Andrew, Ashley, Aunt Amelia had made you such a

delicious cake. So what are you supposed to say to her?"

Hearing this, the two kids cwhooshing from the couch. They ran into Amelia and began kissing her cheek.

Andrew's "thank you" and Ashley's "love you" had caused Amelia to fall hard for the two kids."

Glancing at his watch, Patrick abruptly said, "I think that it's almost tfor us to go back."

Amelia was unwilling to answer him. After all, he was the culprit who embarrassed her in front of the crowd.

However, at the second thought, she could not probably ignore the fact that it was already late at night. Nora

and Owen would need tfor themselves before calling it a day. "Okay. Let's go." Amelia nodded softly with her

expression gentle.

At the sight of this, Patrick's gaze softened. He began to feel apologetic towards her.

He wondered if he should try to accept the fact that his brother deserved her admiration more as compared to

him.

However, as soon as he thought of this, he could not help feeling triggered.

He could not stand it even if it was just a thought, let alone to convince himself into accepting this as a matter of

fact.

On the other hand, Amelia was bidding farewell with Owen and his family including Florence. She said, "We shall

go back now. Take care and sleep earlier.

Florence, you too. Don't stay up late."

Owen was about to send his regard to Amelia and Patrick when Andrew stood up all of a sudden. With his

expression anxious, he said to Amelia, "Aunt Amelia, but we haven't finish our match." Even Ashley too began

bawling, "Patrick, my mathematic questions are not solved yet."

Glancing at Andrew apologetically, Amelia said, "Andrew, it's already late now. We continue the match next time,

what do you say?"

Despite feeling disappointed, Andrew agreed obediently, "Alright then. I'll take down the layout of the

chessboard so that we can continue the match the next twhen you're here."

Amelia broke into a cold sweat. If Andrew had already been old-fashioned and wary at his current age, there was

no doubt that he would not be easily dealt with had he grown up in the future. Upon deliberating, Ashley smiled

at Patrick meaningfully before she said, "Patrick, if this is the case, then my mathematic questions can wait too.

Shall we solve them together the next tyou're here?" Her words immediately sent everyone into momentary

silence.

Had Ashley performed her intelligence for the right purpose, she would not have ended getting the last place in

her class.

At Land of Fragrance.

As soon as they got hand had their shoes removed, Amelia immediately said, "Patrick, | want your written

promise now."

"What written promise?" With his back facing Amelia, Patrick reached out to massage his stiff shoulder and neck.

Spending an eventful day out, even as man, Patrick could not help feeling worn out. Frowning, Amelia said,

"Don't you play dumb in front ofnow! | want the promise that you are not going to touchas you wish to

be put into writing now! You promisedthat you are going to writeone as soon as we're home!"

Patrick continued to stretch his body as he said casually, "Be patient. | haven't bathed yet."

Enraging by his indifference, Amelia hissed, "Can't you bathe after you writethe promise?" "No way." Patrick

turned down her plea.

Amelia would have killed him right away if that was even possible. Raising his eyebrows, he turned around and

said casually, "A good mood is all | need to put such humiliating promise that requiresto give up my right

towards my property into writing."

Amelia felt a shiver running down her spine. She could not help wondering if she was a mere property attached

to him.

Otherwise, he would not have been thinking that a promise to not touch her would injure his rights.

If this was the case, it suggested that Patrick never had her will and consent in his mind.

Gritting, she hissed, "My body belongs toand not your. | have all the right to decide whether to give it to you

or not. You can't forcewithout my consent!"

He crossed his arms in front of his chest. Smiling, he asked, "If you're so confident in this, why would you still

want to put that promise down into writing?"

His words had rendered her speechless.

Smiling, he spoke again with confidence, "Letspeak your mind. Even you yourself know that you're not able

to fight against me. That's why you threaten to tell my grandfather in order to makewrite you this promise.

With this written promise, you think that you can restraintfrom making love with you. Letput this bluntly.

Admit that you're afraid of me, Amelia!"

Upon hearing this, she could not help clenching her

fists.

Closing the distance between the two of them as he approached, he asked, "You really don't wantto touch

you, do you?"

Amelia retreated as she answered affirmatively, "That's right!"

Patrick pondered before he said, "But | can tell that you did enjoy it withbefore, didn't you? Oh! Is it true that

my performance is deteriorating that's why you no longer wish to lettouch you?" Amelia cried out shyly,

"Shut up! It's not like that!"
