Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 47

Patrick wasn't only late, but he asked his wife for forgiveness, instead of the hostess of this banquet. All these let Brittany and Daniel lose face in front of the public.

Looked at the affectionate couple in front of her, Brittany thought up the day when they were at the Ramsay Family, Patrick was obviously indifferent.

Could it be that... in less than two months, Patrick couldn't hold back and fell in love with Amelia?

Under Brittany's jealousy, Patrick whispered to Amelia beside her ear, pretending to care about her and said, "Mrs. Hopper, you haven't recovered yet. Why don't we sit down and talk?"

Amelia nodded and turned her charming eyes to Brittany and her friends, asking "Join us?"

The sweetness embarrassed Brittany and she had no choice but smiled and said, "No, thanks. Let me greet other guests. Sister and brother-in-law, just feel at home."

Pausing for a while and considering Patrick's prominent status, Brittany had to introduce him to Mamie and her other friends, "This is my brother-in-law, Patrick Hopper. I'm sure you've heard of him before."

"You mean... the Patrick Hopper from Northville?" Mamie was not sure and asked.

Brittany nodded solemnly.

Before leaving, Brittany heard Mamie's roar, "Brittany, why didn't you tell me that your sister had married the elder son of The Hopper Family in Northville? My grandfather used to work with Patrick's grandfather when he was young. If he knew that I had offended Patrick's wife, he would get mad at me!"

"How could I know that Patrick would protect her with such care?" Brittany waved her hand fretfully and all her good mood was gone. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She thought bitterly, "Let's wait and see. When she and Daniel take over Apex, Amelia would regret!"

Amelia didn't expect Patrick would appear at all.

If it weren't for Patrick and the ring brought by him, she would be an "old woman wanted by no one", being laughed at by Mamie and others.

But now everything was fine. Patrick defended Amelia's self-esteem in public, and he took revenge for her by fooled Mamie.

Thinking of Brittany and her friends' embarrassment, Amelia smiled from her deep heart. With her low-profile but luxurious outfit, she attracted many guests.

Patrick didn't want to be disturbed by these gazes, so pulled Amelia to the back of the marble pillar and asked with a gloomy face, "Why didn't you invite me to your family's big event?"

Amelia felt sorry and said, "I forgot..."

Patrick frowned and said coldly, "How can you forget this big event? Does your memory last for seven seconds like a fish?"

Amelia looked at him with detest and said, "It's all your fault. You f**ked me once and once again in the morning. I got so tired that I forgot to tell you about it. When I arrived at the office, there was a large pile of work. Besides, I don't keep Brittany's affair in my mind. I'm here because of my dad. I don't want you to suffer what I suffer, so I thought you don't have to come."

Hearing Amelia's explanation making sense, Patrick snorted and thought, "Taking his thought into consideration sounds reasonable, but she still treats him as an outsider?

Even if she had the chance again, she would probably not to inform him!"

But he asked frankly, "Since you feel uncomfortable here, do you want to leave with me?"

"Yes, I've already 'congratulated' to the newly-engaged couple anyway." Amelia did not want to stay any longer and agreed with Patrick.

Before leaving, Patrick asked, "Say goodbye to your dad?"

Amelia hesitated for a while but finally shook her head.

Not long after they left, George finally had a chance to take a rest from greeting the guests. He looked around but did not find the "guest" he was looking forward to.

At this time, Brittany and Daniel came to him and asked, "Dad, what are you looking for?"

George turned around and asked, "My dear, have you seen your elder sister?"

Brittany and Daniel looked at each other with strange expressions. Brittany asked, "Didn't you see her?"

The dad answered, "No."

Brittany's eyes twinkled and said, "We haven't seen her either. Maybe she isn't available to come."

Since her dad did not know that Amelia was here, it was natural to assume she had never been here. After all, Amelia had gone and it was also difficult for him to confirm the truth.

George felt unhappy with his elder daughter as he last night told that she must be present, but she had ignored. As the elder daughter of The Ramsay Family, how could she be so selfless?

At this moment, Milton, who was in a white suit, walked towards them with a wine cup. He first nodded to the couple, and then asked George, "Uncle, do you know where Amelia has gone?"

George said with regret, "Milton, Amelia didn't come."

Milton blurted out a denial, "That's impossible. I saw her chatting with Daniel just now. Why did she disappear after I came out from the toilet?"

George's face turned stern and immediately, he realised that Amelia was here. He sternly questioned Brittany and Daniel, "Amelia has been here. Why don't you tell me the truth!"

Daniel had a swift response, "Dad, we're worried that Amelia will leave very soon. If she didn't come to greet you, it'd annoy you. That's why we didn't tell you the truth. Right, Brittany?"

Brittany replied nervously, "Yes, daddy. You know Amelia's personality. I'm afraid that she will have a quarrel with you."

While speaking, Brittany's eyes became moist, "... Amelia is still keen on her previous relationship with Daniel. It's reasonable that she's mad at us. But it's her fault to leave in advance without informing you. No matter how much she hates me, she shouldn't have vented her anger on you!"

Brittany was assured and bold with justice when telling such a white lie, turning herself from the "slandering her elder sister" to a filial daughter who "thought for her father" and took the advantage of blame Amelia.

Silent for a moment, George said with a tender tone, "Even if that's the case, you shouldn't have deceived me that Amelia hadn't come. You can't do this any more, okay?"

"Sure!" Brittany was delighted, hugging her father's neck and responded in a lovely manner.

Seeing the sweetness between the father and the younger daughter in front of him, Milton really felt innocent for Amelia.

Brittany took everything which should have belonged to Amelia for granted. What's worse, she smeared Amelia in front of their dad. How could she act like this?

On the way, Amelia received a call from Milton, "My dear, why are you leaving so early? I wanted to invite you for a cup of coffee."

Amelia explained, "Milton, I'm almost home. Let's

talk about it next time."

Hearing this, Milton requested with pity, "Then kiss me. I feel so hurt by you."

Amelia grumbled, "You went to far." Then he threatened, "If you don't kiss me today, next time I'll f**k you..."

Unfortunately, these intimate words were heard by Patrick, who was sitting in the driver's seat and his eyes suddenly darkened.
