Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 254

In the evening, on the Land of Fragrance.

Amelia returned home with mixed feelings. As she took off her heels with her back to the living room, Patrick came in her direction, enveloping her in his shadow.

Amelia's nose sniffed at the scent of tobacco that belonged exclusively to him, and she silently changed her shoes to see what he wanted.

Patrick stared at the back of her head, his voice serious, "Didn't I tell you to stay home? Why are you so late?"

Amelia turned back only to realize how close they were, her lips accidentally grazing his collar, leaving a shallow lip print.

She stepped back a little to buy herself space where she could escape, "A college friend of mine suddenly came over to see me, and I came back with her after shopping for makeup."

Patrick narrowed his eyes as if guessing at the truth of her words.

Amelia asked him back, "What about you, spending the whole day shopping with Cynthia?"

Patrick nodded slightly. "Yes."

He was honest. Amelia was too lazy to ask anything else. She bypassed Patrick and said, "I'm going to cook."

Patrick couldn't help but reach out and hold her as he saw her looking listless with her head down and explained, "On the 21 st of this month, Cynthia will be flying to the U.S. for in-depth treatment, after which I will send her to Germany to study fashion design, and if all goes well, she may never return to Northville."

Amelia was stunned.

Patrick continued, "I went shopping with her today to buy some essentials that are not available abroad, nothing more."

Patrick relaxed a lot after the explanation. A lot of things he didn't want to explain to her before because he didn't think Amelia was important. Now his mind was shifting, but he just didn't feel it deeply enough.

After hearing what he said, Amelia had a complicated look on her face, and she suddenly saw a glimmer of hope in this barren marriage.

Amelia reached out and offered to wrap her arms around Patrick's neck. Feeling his body relax immediately after a slight stiffening, Amelia smiled and rested her head affectionately on his shoulder, "I'm glad, I really am."

Patrick confused, "Why?"

Amelia smiled but didn't say anything.

He might not know how important his honesty was to her.

Amelia gently bit down on her lower lip and spoke the thought she had been hiding for so long, "Patrick, shall we try?

Intoxicated by Amelia's tenderness, Patrick was Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

stunned. "Try what?"

Amelia's eyes suddenly filled with hope as she stepped back from his embrace and said to him seriously, "I know our marriage was rushed and no one was ready for it, but we've been through so

much together. We've even been through life and death together. Patrick, let's fall in love and see if we can love each other, okay? "

It took almost all of Amelia's courage to say that, and she watched him with bated breath as she waited for him to nod.

But Patrick turned abruptly, his back looking cold, "Sorry, I'm not ready. I'm tired, I'm going back to my room."

Amelia momentarily lost her mind. Until Patrick went up to the second floor and closed the study door, Amelia regained her senses but couldn't control her tears.

At least, she had already worked hard for this marriage...

In the study.

Patrick opened the drawer and took out the "goodbye letter" that Amelia had unintentionally picked up, something that Sissi had given him, even if it hurt, he still kept it.

Although he didn't say anything at the time, he still got emotional when he heard that Sissi was in the process of divorcing her husband, and he knew his feelings for Sissi were still there!

If that's the case, how can Patrick devote himself to his next relationship?

Wouldn't that be unfair to Amelia?

The day after tomorrow.

Amelia expected her workday to be almost over and clocked out early to end the day, after which she changed her work clothes into a regular style skirt and drove to Jessica's coffee shop.

Jessica touched Amelia's sports car and looked impressed, "Wow, when did you buy a car? I didn't know that!"

Amelia opened the car door for her and smiled, "Come up here."

Arriving at the front door of the agreed hotel, Lucy, who was all branded, looked at Amelia's outfit and frowned in disgust, "It's too plain."

After a pause, Lucy noted, "Show us what treasure you're hiding in the bulge on your chest."

Amelia touched the diamond ring covered under the fabric and spoke words that startled Lucy and Jessica, "It's a wedding ring, but it's Patrick's for temporary... safekeeping with me."

Amelia felt sad with every word she uttered, recalling how the previous night's discussion had all turned into today's joke, and Patrick might have laughed at her lack of self-knowledge.

Jessica and Lucy just realized that Patrick was not going to be a part of this reunion of Amelia's.

Reaching over Amelia's slim shoulders, Lucy shifted encouragingly, "It's okay. Men count for nothing. We can live with ourselves."

"That's right!" Jessica followed up, "Don't forget that we're here to support you!"

Showing a smile, Amelia said sincerely, "I know that you are good to me, just go in!"

Amelia appeared in the compartment and attracted everyone's attention. There were quite a few boys in her class who had noticed her when she was in school, only to be disappointed when she was successfully pursued by Daniel.

But at this point, Amelia was surrounded only by her best female friends and no man, so what did that mean? She was most likely single!

A male classmate had observed Amelia's exquisite face. He got bold after drinking, and came over to accost her.

Probably a little emotional, the classmate burped first as he sat down, and Jessica, who was sitting next to Amelia, couldn't stop laughing.

The classmate was so embarrassed that he froze there. He couldn't wait to pick up the wine bottle and shut up Jessica's laughing mouth.

At this time, another male classmate took the opportunity to greet Amelia, "Amelia, do you still remember me?"

"Oh... who are you?" Amelia was a little confused.

In the four years of college, there were some classmates who she hadn't talked to at all, not to mention to remember him.

"I'm Brian Zellweger!" He looked at her eagerly and said.

Still, Jessica had a good memory and tugged on Amelia's sleeve and whispered, "Brian was famous.

He used to be on the school basketball team and a bunch of girls skipped lunch just to go watch him play basketball..."

As Amelia learned about Brian's story, Brian began to gush, "Amelia, I think the endorsement of your company is very nice, and as soon as one of your commercials airs, I'm sure I'll stop whatever job I'm working on..."
