Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 670

As Kaiden planted a kiss onto the back of Amelia's hand, the rest of the men could not help watching Patrick's reaction.

The distress they felt could have exploded their heads. "Kaiden, this idiot! Let's just pretend we don't know him!" They all shared the same sentiment.

After the split-second moment of awkward silence, Amelia quickly recovered and responded with a smile, "Mr. Wright, are you a graduate from the design institute?"

It was unclear if Kaiden intended to continue to hold onto Amelia's hand or if it went over his head. "Yes, I spent four years in university, graduated, then worked for another two years. Everything I've learned and produced is related to architecture designing. I heard Mrs. Hopper has recently taken over the desolated Apex Construction Corporation. I guess the company is running short on staff, right?"

Amelia pursed her lips. Would she tell Kaiden that she had just only received a call from the human resource department two days ago saying that there were a few interior designers who wanted to resign?

Looking back at him, she said, "Then let's contact each other again, Mr. Wright."

"No problem!" Kaiden finally let go of Amelia's hand right before Patrick combust into fury.

Then, someone said to liven up the tension in the air, "Mr. Patrick, Mrs. Hopper, since both of you are here, why don't you guys join in the fun?"

Amelia hesitated and said, "But... I don't have a jersey or a golf club." She looked towards Patrick. "Do you have one?"

Patrick pondered for a moment and replied, "I have a set of equipment that I kept here from many years ago.

"Oh, then why don't you go and play with them? I'll just watch then," said Amelia.

Her honesty drove the group of men into a state of shock. Even if the pretentious golfers went there without bringing their jerseys and golf club set, their female companions would insist on buying a new set for them, looking as if it was only a matter of course.

However, Amelia was different. She said she did not 'have' one, not that she did not 'bring' it. They could interpret it as Amelia had never experienced the fun from playing golf.

If it was known to the public that Amelia, a member of the high society, had never played golf, not only would she be humiliated, Patrick's name would take on some damage too.

Back then, Patrick doted on Sissi tremendously, so much that he brought her along wherever he went. As compared to Amelia, Patrick had never taken Amelia out to meet with them.

If a wife could not even mingle with her husband's circle of friends, then she was destined to be sidelined.

Amelia had no clue that her statement would incite so many speculations from this group of people. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Even if she knew what was on their minds, she would probably just laugh it off.

Indeed, she had not been in touch with golf, but it was not as pitying as they thought she was.

The reason she did not want to play was purely just because she had no interest in the sport.

However, Patrick did not wish Amelia to be looked down upon. He said in a low voice, "There's a counter here selling sportswear. As for the golf set, I have one."

"But I've never learned how to play golf," Amelia said frankly.

In fact, she preferred watching them playing golf from her seat than actually standing and playing golf herself.

"I'll teach you."

There were both voices simultaneously sounded. One came from Patrick, and the other came from Kaiden!

Patrick swept his indifferent gaze over Kaiden, his face was icy cold.

Kaiden's lip was smiling at him, but his eyes was not.

Amelia's eyes flashed. Her instinct was telling her that there was a feud between the two of them.

"Kaiden, stop messing around. Didn't you hear Mr. Patrick say that he will teach Mrs. Hopper how to play golf himself?"

The rest of the men around Kaiden were worried about being dragged by Kaiden and tried to dissuade him.

But Kaiden only said to Amelia, "Mrs. Hopper, let me teach you. When Mr. Patrick was abroad, I was practicing hard in playing golf during these past few years. If you want to learn something, you should learn from the best. Right?"

Amelia shook her head without even thinking twice. "Mr. Wright, thank you for your generosity, but no. My husband will teach me."

Kaiden simply shrugged. "Alright then."

Amelia threw a side glance at Patrick, whose face was shadowed by a dark cloud over his head. She asked, "Why don't we go buy jerseys first?"

"Alright," answered Patrick. Then, he turned back to Mr. Roland, who was behind them in the background, and said, "Mr. Roland, can you lead the way?"

To which Mr. Roland immediately replied, "Okay! This way please."

When Patrick and Amelia was a good distance away, the group of men immediately closed in on Kaiden. They censured, "What's wrong with you? Why were you provoking Patrick the first chance you got? You don't want to stay in Northville anymore?"

"And you're wearing such a conceited red blazer and green straight trousers. Are you so afraid that Mr. Patrick's woman won't notice you?"

"And you even kissed her hand! I remember back when you used to have mysophobia towards women. Before those women even made a move on you, you were already on the other side of the room!"

In the face of his friends' jeers, Kaiden only sneered, "I just can't stand Patrick's act of his attachment to Sissi but his heart wasn't even there since long. All of you saw the lengths he went for Sissi, and yet, he found himself a new lover even though only a short time had passed. Not only that, he's even married."

Leo frowned and said, "Kaiden, you're being unfair.

Wasn't Sissi snatched away by your cousin? The one from the Quartley family? It was her who had a change of heart first. How can you blame Mr. Patrick for turning his back on her and change another interest?"

Someone else agreed and chimed in, "To be exact, Mr. Patrick was just moving on into a new chapter of his life. Speaking as a man, I think he has done his best forthat woman. Think about it, how many years of his happiness did Sissi hold up since the day she showed up until the day she left?"

Kaiden refuted unhappily, "Are you guys even on my side? Why are you all speaking for Patrick?"

They looked at each other and said, "We're just telling the truth."

Leo put his hand on Kaiden's shoulder and consoled him, "I understand that you're biased against Mr. Patrick because of the strife between him and your cousin. But even if they continue to go head- to-head with each other, isn't it still a lose-lose situation in the end? We're all misfortuned in some way, we should sympathize with each other."

Kaiden shoved Leo's hand away and said coldly, "What do you know!"

"Yes, yes. I don't know anything! And you know everything!" Leo was challenged twice and could not help but get angry this time. "If I had known earlier, I should have kicked you out of the Whatsapp group chat and not let you know that we had an appointment with Mr. Patrick. You wouldn't have been involved then!"

"But it's too late now, isn't it?" Kaiden bit his lip in thought, his eyes full of malice. "Let's wait and see. Even if I can't embarrass Patrick now, I will see to it that I humiliate his wife!"

On the other side.

Amelia, who was following Mr. Roland, peered at Patrick's face.

His lips were tightly pressed into a thin line, completely different from the relaxed mood he was in when they first arrived at the golf course. She blurted out, "Er..."

Perhaps she was speaking too quietly, or maybe he was lost in thought. Patrick did not even look at her.

On the contrary, Mr. Roland, who was ahead of them, hurriedly turned his head around and asked after hearing her voice, "Mrs. Hopper, is anything wrong?"
