Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 983

Holding the pickled radish in his hand, Patrick calmly put it on the table in the space between him and Amelia. "I

forgot they gavea side dish."

Amelia could not help but laugh. "As the President of Roxxon, you only have a bowl of white porridge and pickled

radish for supper. Who would believe this?"

Patrick's gaze softened when he realized that he managed to amuse her. "Well, as a president of Apex

Construction Corporation, aren't you also accompanyingto eat this plain porridge and radish?" The corners of

Amelia's mouth twitched. If she had known that he would tease her, she would not have said anything about it to

prevent herself from being included in this conversation. There were other dishes in the refrigerator, but Patrick

insisted on segregating a packet of pickled radish into two fractions. He shared a portion with Amelia, then

began to eat his porridge slowly. Although Amelia accompanied him for a bowl of porridge, she had other

thoughts in her heart.

Tpassed quietly between the two of them...

Suddenly, Patrick said, "I have never doubted that you used despicable means to win the deal of the Eastern

District project. If you still aren't willing to tellthe truth because it's difficult for you to explain, | won't ask

you anymore in the future on the premise that you won't deliberately say those words to makeangry."

Those words? What kind of words?

Was it when she mentioned that he cheated on her?

Amelia stopped eating. For a moment, she could not believe what Patrick said.

Patrick scrutinized her and asked slowly, "Didn't you hearclearly? Do you needto repeat what | just

said?" Amelia put down the partly-opaque plastic spoon and looked at him seriously. "Are you serious?"

Patrick replied, "I am."

Amelia was uncertain. "Can you guaranteethat you won't ask anything related to the Eastern District

project?"

"Yes, | can." Patrick gave her his word.

Amelia still could not believe that he agreed and added on, "I'm positive that although you won't cto me

with these questions, you'll still go to someone else for answers."

Patrick said, "I promise that | won't ask about this matter anymore unless someone brings it up in front

of me."

Amelia questioned further, "Even if you receive any news in the future, can you guarantee that you won't lose

your temper against me?"

Patrick responded her in a low voice, "The way you said this only makeswant to find out the truth!"

A disappointed expression was displayed on Amelia's face. "Look, you're always like this. You just madea

promise but it seems that you've forgotten about it all in the blink of an eye. | can't trust you." Patrick's lips

curled into a smile. "Are you trying to provokewith reverse psychology?"

Amelia shook her head gently. "I wasn't trying to provoke you. I'm just stating a fact.

"You've always regardedas your belongings. No matter what | did behind your back, as long as | revealed a

secret by mistake, you'll dig into that issue thoroughly.

Sometimes when | deliberately hide something, it's not because I really wanted to hide it from you. Maybe |

sound a little ridiculous, but what | concealed today was ultimately for the benefit for the both of us.

| previously mentioned that as long as our marriage is valid, | will not do anything that will tarnish your

reputation in any way. This is a promise that | have kept till now."

After two or three seconds, Patrick replied, "I see. What | just said was equally true. Unless and until someone

takes the initiative to tellabout the project, | won't prod more about it." Amelia was very happy to hear that.

Because she knew that Roxxon Corporation had nothing to do with the construction industry, there should not be

anyone who would talk about the Eastern District Project in front of Patrick.

The most important thing was that all insiders of the Eastern District Project saw the silhouettes of Patrick and

Sissi in the leaked picture!

Once these people bring up the Eastern District Project in front of Patrick, it was equal to having a romantic affair

exposed in front of the party involved.

Knowing how bad Patrick's temper was, anyone who dared provoke him must be mentally insane.

After Amelia figured this out, she unconsciously arched her eyebrows.

She would not be so naive as to think that she could keep Patrick in the dark forever, but the longer the better. It

would be best if she waited until the completion of the project, and then Patrick can go have his fight with

Sawyer!

Seated across from her, Patrick saw her face light up in delight. Unconsciously feeling that Amelia was hiding

something, he asked, "What are you thinking about for you to laugh so lecherously?" "Huh? Huh? Since when?"

Amelia picked up the spoon again and tried to conceal her feelings while scooping the porridge, "Let's hurry and

have this porridge. It won't taste good when it's cold." After supper, Amelia voluntarily packed up both of their

waste on her own and then brought them to the trash can to dispose.

Seeing this, Patrick raised his hand and stroked his chin.

He had been exceedingly tired for these past two days. Now, he just wanted to relax his brain and enjoy a

harmonious twith her.

When Amelia cout of the kitchen, she happened to meet Patrick's sleepy eyes.

She asked strangely, "Weren't you sleepy? Why didn't you head back to the room to rest?"

"I was waiting for you," Patrick answered frankly.

Taken aback, Amelia asked, "Why are you waiting for me? We don't even sleep in the sroom."

Patrick's voice sank. "Look at you, you're pissingoff again."

"I'm just telling you the truth. How can you be angry with me?" Amelia raised her hand to rub her itching eyes

again. Trying to provide him with an excuse, Amelia refused, "I can't stand it anymore. I'll have to go back to my

room and apply seye drops. Good night!"

After saying this in a hurry, Amelia rushed to the second floor.

Patrick ratted on the table with his index finger but in the end, his legs got the better of his brain and he duly

followed after Amelia.

On the second floor, in the second bedroom.

Realizing that footsteps were trailing her, Amelia quickened her pace and ran towards her room. However, just as

she was about to close the door, she was held down by Patrick who had eventually caught up to her.

Amelia was stunned and asked, "Roommate, what else can | do for you?"

Patrick could sense the estrangement in her voice. He softened his tone and assured her, "You don't have to be

nervous. | won't do anything like that while women are menstruating. It's just that | suddenly thought of an issue,

so | cto see you."

Upon hearing this, Amelia's heart calmed down a little.

How could she forget that when she was in Roxxon Corporation at noon today, she could already brandish the

lucky charm of "period". At least she would be safe in the next few days.

"Then tell me, why did you catch up to me?"

Patrick leaned against the door frwhile holding the door with one hand and placing his spare hand in his

pocket. He laughed and feigned ignorance, "Weren't your eyes itchy again? | don't think it's convenient for you to

apply the eye drops yourself. Lethelp you instead."

Seeing the eager expression on his face, Amelia felt a chill run down her spine.

In fact, as long as Patrick exerted a little more force, her door could not stop him from coming in at all.

Amelia was also aware of this, so she asked him with suspicion, "Were you really just trying to helpto apply

the eye drops?"

Unhappily, Patrick argued back, "It seems that no matter what I've told you, you always seem to have to seek

confirmation withagain. Am I really not that trustworthy in your heart?"

Amelia nodded, "You always go back on your words. For people like you who are free to do whatever they like

and not bounded by morality, what else can | do except confirming with you again and again to reassure

myself?"
