Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 658

Amelia felt sick at the thought of the unclear relationship between Patrick and his first love of a teacher!

Therefore, she seized the opportunity of answering the phone to avoid any questioning from Patrick.

As she lowered her eyes to see who had called her, Alice Green' flashed on the screen. Grimness instantly took over Amelia's previously relaxed expression!

She hurriedly pressed the answer button, put the phone to her ear and said, "Hello, Aunt Alice? It's me."

"Amelia! Something happened to Brittany!"

The call ended in a flurry.

The whole room quietened down again, and Amelia's grip around the phone was so tight that her knuckles turned white.

Alice had told her on the phone that something happened to Brittany!

As for the cause of Brittany's incident, of course, it was because of Daniel!

The pressure from the public on Apex Construction Corporation was decreasing day by day because Amelia had come forward to apologize on behalf of Daniel and had addressed the accident to the families of the victims.

In the past couple of days, Huxton's subordinates had even reported that the number of reporters who were lying low around The Ramsay Family's residence, looking to interview Brittany and Alice, had had a significant decrease.

Just as Amelia was about to worry less about the pair of mother and daughter, Alice told her that Brittany had sneaked out of the house to meet Daniel at the police station...

As a result, a ring of reporters flooded and ambushed while Brittany was on her way. Then, in a panicked state, she tripped and fainted.

And it was Huxton's men in black, who were sent over to protect Alice and her daughter, that found Brittany on the ground!

Perhaps even the men in black did not expect Brittany to sneak out secretly in the middle of the night.

Amelia's arms had wrapped around her shoulders without her noticing. No matter what, Amelia was still Brittany's rightful sister. She should go and have a look when something like this was happening!

But...it was too late into the night now.

If it were someone else whom she cared about, she would have set off without a second thought!

But it was Brittany, who had been dragging her down and causing her trouble the whole time.

Hell, Brittany even tried to disfigure her with sulfuric acid!

Should she go?

Amelia stroked her phone in a dilemma.

She was well aware of the purpose of the call from Alice, but she also knew that with Alice's abilities and resources, she could resolve this matter by herself.

But then, Amelia remembered what Alice said to her at Brittany's wedding banquet and could not help but feel softhearted.

Their father had fallen ill, and now Brittany's newlywed husband was back in the police station again. Brittany did not seem to have many relatives left to care about her anymore.

Fine...

Amelia overlooked the fact that Brittany might mock her for meddling in her business and made her decision.

After making up her mind, Amelia turned around to find a casual suit from the wardrobe. She then

entered the bathroom and changed into it.

Around ten minutes later...

Amelia opened the door, glanced sideways, and saw that the door to Patrick's bedroom was still open. She made her way towards it, wanting to greet him before she leaves.

But to her surprise, Patrick was not in the room.

Amelia carefully scanned around the bathroom and toilet, but she still could not find any trace of him.

"Where did he go?" She muttered to herself, perplexed.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Patrick still had not returned to his room, Amelia could not wait any longer. She walked down the stairs and left the house. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

At this moment, Patrick, whom Amelia waited so long for, was in Huxton's room.

While Huxton stood, Patrick was sitting.

Confused by Patrick's deep gaze, Huxton asked, "Sir, it's so late now. Since you're not sleeping, I assume there's something on your mind?" After a pause, he added thoughtfully, "If sir wants to... I can have a drink with you."

At this, Patrick chuckled. "Drink with me? With your alcohol tolerance of just one glass?"

Huxton's face cracked as he said, "Sir, I'm willing to learn."

"It's fine." Patrick did not want to make things difficult for him, for Huxton was just being loyal. He then explained, "I'm here to ask you a question, did you notice anything strange about Amelia's behavior in the past two days?"

Huxton shook his head and said, "I'm not sure." He did not want to give Patrick the impression that he paid more attention to Amelia than he was supposed to.

Patrick exposed him. "Haven't you installed a listening bug on her?"

Huxton stiffened still for a second, then answered frankly, "Yes, I did, but I didn't find anything wrong with madam these few days."

Of course he did not. Because during the period when Amelia acted out of character, Huxton got hammered at the same time.

Thinking of the look on Amelia's face when she sat on the edge of the bed, Patrick could not help but feel uneasy. "Are you sure?"

Huxton nodded his head solemnly.

"Alright then." Patrick trusted Huxton would not lie to him and stood up from his chair. He said to Huxton in a deep voice, "You take a rest."

"I'll see you off, sir," said Huxton before sending Patrick to the door.

On his way back to the master bedroom, Patrick subconsciously looked in the direction of the secondary bedroom only to find that not only was the door still closed but not even a sliver of light leaked through the seam of the door from inside. Amelia must have gone to sleep.

How heartless!

Patrick clenched his teeth in unwillingness at the thought that he had to fall asleep alone again tonight. With that in mind, he rushed to Amelia's bedroom and knocked on her door multiple times.

He could not care less any more! He could only sleep well tonight with Amelia in his arms!

After knocking on her door, he waited, then waited, then waited more. A long time had passed and yet, no hint of the slightest movement sounded from inside.

To Patrick's bad temper, he had only knocked for Amelia's sake. But since she was hiding in the room and refusing to respond to him, why should he continue to be polite?

He put a hand on the door handle and twisted it at once. Unexpectedly, the door opened?

Just as Patrick thought that it was some game that Amelia was playing with him, he switched on the light next to him only to find that there was no sign of anybody in the room!

Where was she?

Patrick rushed abruptly to the window and threw it open. He then looked down from it, the anxiety in his face showing as if someone had fallen off the window.

In actuality, Patrick was indeed scared that Amelia would be so dim-witted to talk on her phone by the window. She would not even notice if she had fallen until it was too late!

She could drop onto the ground from the sofa, rolled a few times, and continued to be asleep. Was there anything absurd that would not happen to her?

However, what he saw in the garden on the first floor confirmed that Amelia did not fall from the building. Patrick got even more worried at this. If she had not fallen out of the window, then where could she be?

A thought flashed across Patrick's mind.

He whipped back again and dashed to Huxton's door. Without hesitation, he barged into his room!

Huxton was getting ready to take off his clothes to sleep. So, at the sight of an intrusion, he stopped his movement halfway in midair and gawked at Patrick at the door with a hilarious look on his face.

Just like that, they stared at each other in the dead of the night...

After a long moment of silence, Huxton broke the quiet and said shyly, "Sir, I'm not gay..."

"F*ck off!" Patrick cursed in a coarse voice after he realized what Huxton just said.
