Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 41

Amelia got stunned as she subconsciously wanted to go home and arrive before Patrick. What a strange idea!

Milton didn't mean to question her but she really got stuck. Milton threatened and persuaded her, "You'd better stay here and be treated. Tomorrow evening you have to attend the engagement banquet and you don't want to faint there, isn't it?"

This reminded Amelia to show up decently. She relaxed and leaned back on the chair, taking the porridge from Milton and said, "Yep, you're right. Thank you."

To divert her from boredom, he played a popular movie for her on his phone. While she was eating, he was thinking about who dared to hook up with his beloved girl.

Leaving the hospital, Milton dropped Amelia at the gate of the villa area.

Dropping off the car, Amelia said gratefully to Milton, "Milton, thank you for dropping me here. I've troubled you too much today."

Staring at the villas, Milton asked thoughtfully, "When did you move here?"

Thinking that she had a hidden marriage with Patrick, Amelia had to tell a lie, "Oh, it's my dad's idea... He's worried that it's not safe for me to live in the old apartment."

So Milton did not ask. After bidding farewell, he drove away.

Entering into the house, Amelia changed into a pair of cotton-padded slippers and found no one in the living room.

Amelia thought probably Patrick hadn't come back yet.

Relieved and serving herself a glass of water and wanting to take the medicine, she was pressed to the kitchen table when turning around!

She was so scared that her hands trembled and the water in the glass splashed out. Looking at the man in front of her, who was as fierce as a leopard and would strike her, Amelia was so stunned that she forgot to speak.

"Remember what I told you, Mrs. Hopper?" Her tension seemed to be the supplement to his force and his words were mixed with dissatisfaction and coldness.

Amelia came to her senses and repeated what he had told on the phone, "You said... I must be there when you get home."

Patrick questioned, "But what's the fact?"

The physical discomfort made her powerless to argue, "Yep, I broke my promise. It's my fault."

Even though she had showed her white feather, he still did not intend to let her go and asked aggressively, "Tell me, where have you been? Who is the man dropping you off?" From NôvelDrama.Org.

Amelia frowned and said, "Is it interesting to do this?"

Patrick continued, "Mrs. Hopper, I don't like you talking to me like this. If I hadn't saved you from Bruce Miller, would you be here and talk back to me arrogantly?"

Patrick sneered with smile, "I can barely understand that you sacrificed your body for Miller's business. What about tonight? You sneaked out of the office during working hours and got a strange man to drop you midnight. If I didn't witness, I would have assumed you were drugged."

Under his hostile question, Amelia felt it ridiculous when he made up lies not to go home for dinner but chatted with the female employees, did he consider how she feels?

So she questioned him, "What about you? Is the client who invited you to dinner tonight a man or a woman? What does he or she look like?"

Patrick did not answer but warned, "None of your business."

Hearing this, Amelia took a sip of water and said with a smile, "Oh, none of your business, too!"

Seeing Amelia switching the topic, Patrick blocked her wrist and retorted, "We are talking about your problem and you'd better answer my question!"
