Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 198

Patrick smiled coldly and said, "You remember it clearly."

Amelia smiled bitterly. She knew Milton at her mother's funeral. How could she not remember it clearly?

Patrick asked stiffly, "Has he... ever chased after you in the past 20 years?"

"Yes." Looking at Patrick's fierce eyes, Amelia said honestly, "But I don't have any other thoughts except treating him as my good friend."

"You don't have any other thoughts?" Patrick was deeply suspicious, "I think you keep him on the back burner."

Amelia spoke for Milton, "There are many women who like Milton, okay? You're insulting him!"

Patrick said with cold eyes, "Perhaps, in his eyes, those women can't be compared with you."

Amelia touched the position of her heart and sighed, "That only shows that I am too charming. As my husband, do you feel stressed? But don't worry, since I have married you, I won't fall in love with others."

After hearing her words, Patrick was no more angry and was amused.

It seemed that if he continued to interfere her friendship with Milton, it would prove that he cared about her very much and she would be so smug.

His eyes became cold, "You can leave now." "Okay." After nodding, Amelia really turned around and left.

After she left, Patrick leaned on the sofa and thought in his heart, "If Sissi didn't insist on leaving me, how many would we have been together?"

A few days later.

When Patrick went to Meggie's house to tell her father the findings of Owen's investigation, he saw how Meggie had become.

Her beautiful hair had become dry, her ruddy cheeks had become lifeless, and she looked so frightened, especially when she saw a stranger. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

During this period of time, her mother cried everyday and couldn't fall asleep at night. Her father not only needed to take care of Meggie, but also worried about his wife's health. He was so tired that he told Patrick that he wanted to resign.

"No! You're the elder founding member of Roxxon. Without you, I'm worried that the employees would be not of one mind." Patrick said disapprovingly.

Meggie's father looked at Meggie, who was rolling on the ground with a cat in the garden, and said tiredly, "Mr. Hopper, thank you so much for helping me find out the reason of Meg's disappearance and closing down Money Cabinet! And thank you for asking me to stay in Roxxon, but I am really tired. I have been working for half a lifetime. It's time for me to spend time with my wife and daughter."

Patrick thought for a while and said seriously, "Since you said so, I won't force you to stay. You can stay at home and take care of Meg. As for the company, you don't have to come to work, but you can get your salary as usual."

Meggie's father suddenly felt a little guilty. He got angry with Patrick a few days ago, because he suspected that it was Patrick who kidnapped Meggie, but Patrick was so kind and helped him a lot.

"Mr. Hopper, I..." Before he could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed as he got up and rushed to the garden, "Meg!"

Patrick looked over and found that Meggie, who was playing with the pet cat, threw the cat to the ground crazily. She looked insane and abnormal.

Her father wanted to grab her hand, but she scratched his neck with her sharp fingernails. It could be seen that Meggie didn't even recognize her family when she got insane.

Patrick, who caused Meggie to become like this, was smoking leisurely in the large living room. He watched the scene that happened not far away with great interest.

In the evening, the Land of Fragrance.

Amelia received a call from Ryan. He invited her to go climbing on the weekend.

Thinking of Patrick's warning to her, Amelia had no choice but to make an excuse to refuse Ryan, "Uncle Quartley, I'm busy this Saturday, so I may not be able to go climbing with you."

"Well..." Ryan's voice sounded a little disappointed, which made Amelia's heart skip a beat, "Does Patrick prevent you from contacting me?"

Amelia was stunned and then said with a bitter smile, "You're so smart."

Ryan said earnestly, "If it were in the past, I would definitely hang up the phone and never bother you again. But now you are my lifesaver. I am eager to repay you, so... do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." It was hard for Amelia to refuse Ryan. She asked, "When will we meet on Saturday?"

After hanging up the phone, Amelia lay on the pillow and stared at her mobile phone in annoyance, "How can I be softhearted..."

Patrick disliked both of Milton and Ryan and didn't want her to have too much contact with them. After thinking about it, she could only meet Ryan on Saturday secretly.

At this time, the door was pushed open. When Patrick saw that Amelia was staring at her mobile phone in a daze, his face turned gloomy as he asked, "Who are you thinking about?"

He was sure that Amelia was not thinking about him, because he was at home. If she wanted to see him, she could go out and find him.

"Nothing." Amelia put away her mobile phone in a hurry, but her movement was so anxious that Patrick sensed something wrong.

However, he remained calm on the surface and said, "It's late. Let's sleep."

Amelia asked without thinking, "You haven't gone back to the master bedroom to sleep for a long time..."

Patrick crossed his arms around his chest and said,

"Do you want us to sleep in separate rooms?" "No!" Amelia patted her forehead. Since she promised to meet Ryan on Saturday, she became nervous when she faced Patrick, "I didn't mean that."

Patrick smiled and said, "It seems that you like to sleep with me."

Amelia was speechless. Was she teased by him again?

After Amelia fell asleep, Patrick suddenly opened his eyes, got up from the bed and gently turned on the bedside lamp.

Later, he glanced at the bedside table next to Amelia and saw her mobile phone on it.

He reached out and held the phone in his hand. After he checked Amelia's text messages and address list, he found out that she had contacted someone she shouldn't have contacted as he expected!

Ryan?

The white light on the screen made Patrick's unhappy expression extremely weird. After a while, he looked away from the mobile phone and looked at Amelia who was sleeping soundly.

He didn't know why Amelia would keep in touch with Ryan, but it was not a good sign.

At this moment, Amelia's phone received a text message. Patrick clicked it without thinking.

"This Saturday, seven o'clock in the morning, Mount Logan, don't forget to come!"
