Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 720

Amelia's gaze bore straight into his eyes as she spat in a cruel tone, "Am I wrong? Didn't Sissi seduce a son of a businessman behind your back?"

She admitted that she was deliberately poking at Patrick's open wound!

But even then, so what? If she did not hurt him and paint Sissi in a bad light, how could he realize the good in Amelia?

Revulsion spread in Patrick's eyes. "Amelia, your mean words disgust me!"

He could not bear it for her to judge Sissi so rashly when Amelia had never met Sissi before!

At this, Amelia was in rage.

She swallowed the blood at the edge of her lips, became irrational, and asked on impulse, "I didn't know I disgust you so much. Very well then, do you want a divorce?"

She had hurled the word 'divorce' right to Patrick's face.

And he blanked out for a long while at the sound of it!

"Madam!" No matter how calm Huxton was trying to be, he also panicked when he heard Amelia.

The muscles of Patrick's cheek twitched, and he shot Amelia a dangerous, ominous stare.

Amelia was also looking back at him, her face and lips both pale and lost their color. For a woman who loved her husband so deeply, such a decision was no less emotionally painful than any physical turmoil!

All along, it was Patrick who proposed for a divorce, and all she could do was suppress it and silently internalizing what he said.

No matter how many grievances she had suffered, she had never mentioned 'divorce' to Patrick because she knew that there was no going back once she said it.

She must have made her mind up for her to say such a thing.

Amelia understood that, so did Patrick.

And that was precisely why he was experiencing a tsunami of unprecedented shock and fury at this moment!

He so desperately hoped that he had misheard her, but the look in Amelia's gaze told him that she had never made it clearer!

Noticing Patrick was struck to the point of loss for words, Huxton quickly said to Amelia, "Madam, you must be too tired. Let's go in and have a rest! Everything will be fine after a nap!"

But Amelia's eyes remained glued to Patrick, and she said with a scarily stubborn expression, "Give me your answer."

Patrick's face went rigid. Did she think he would give her an answer just because she wanted it?

"Huxton!" He shouted with a stern face. Without leaving any room for discussion, he said, "Send madam in for rest. She is not allowed to step out of the room without my permission!"

Huxton was taken aback. "Sir?"

Patrick gave him a sidelong glance and warned, "If you dare to go against me this time, you better watch out!"

Huxton came to his senses and assured loudly, "Yes, sir! Don't worry, sir, if anything happens to madam, I'll put my life on the line!"

Huxton had declared such a sombre statement on purpose. Amelia was kind-hearted and would not make things difficult for him after hearing what he said.

He started moving and appeared beside Amelia, softly advising, "Madam, please come with me."

After taking a pensive look at Patrick, Amelia turned without another word and left with Huxton.

Although her heart ached, she felt some satisfaction too. She did not know hurting others could feel so pleasant...

A faint hint of a smile appeared at a corner of her smirk, but her tears quietly rolled in her eyes and fell somewhere in her heart where Patrick could not see.

Watching the shadow of Amelia as she disappeared behind the door, Patrick was drained of all his strength, the hollowness in his chest expanding.

He raised his head and looked up at the second floor where Amelia's room was. Soon after, the curtain was pulled closed by a fair hand from inside the room. Amelia was back in her room.

Only then did Patrick look away with ease.

Then, he sat in the car with his face frozen and stiffened limbs.

Carefully recalling Amelia's every move from the day, Patrick finally discovered some revelation.

Her acting out of character was not a coincidence. She had only started to behave strangely after leaving Jonathan's house!

Nothing was odd with Amelia before they left the house this morning. Even at breakfast, she stole guilt-ridden glances at him from time to time, as if she had committed some sorts of mistake.

But in the afternoon, when the both of them met again, she had turned into a completely different person, as wintry as a block of ice!

What puzzled him most was that if Amelia could tolerate it for such a long time after knowing Sissi's existence, why did she choose to expose him at this time?

There must be something behind this!

Right then, Patrick's phone in his pocket rang. He took it out with impatience and found that it was a call from Sissi!

Without thinking twice, he threw his phone to the backseat of the car, inserted the car key, and started the engine.

In the next second, he turned the car around and drove out of Land of Fragrance.

At the window on the second floor, Amelia witnessed Patrick pulled out of Land of Fragrance through the thin gap left between the curtains...

A sharp pain pierced her heart. And when she looked down at her cuffs that were stained with Patrick's blood, a sense of depression welled up in her heart.

She took off her jacket in a swift motion and tossed it into the trash can in a fit of anger, no longer concerned about the reason for his injury!

At nine o'clock at night, at Land of Fragrance.

When Patrick ascended the stairs, he saw Huxton guarding Amelia's door in a wooden chair.

Seeing his arrival, Huxton got up quickly. He was about to greet him when Patrick stopped him with a wave of his hand, indicating him to keep quiet.

Huxton could only gesture that meant Amelia might be sleeping.

Patrick returned a slight nod and retreated to his room with an air of furious frustration around him.

Huxton was perplexed at the sight of this. Why didn't sir knock on madam's door and go in to comfort her?

Once he was back in his room, Patrick tore off his tie with one hand then took a cigarette and lighter with the other. He then leaned against the window, looked out into the silent night sky, and took in a puff.

He had heard from Jonathan the reason why Amelia was being so unusual!

He also knew that Amelia was humiliated to the extreme at the meeting!

And the reason behind it was because of the pictures of him and a woman in red high heels getting intimate!

The photo was taken on the Saturday when he took Sissi to shop for furniture.

One of the photos was taken when he was waiting for her downstairs to pick her up, and the other was when Sissi almost had an accident on the road and him carrying her back to the car because she was shaken by what happened.

But obviously, a photo could not tell the whole story. The only 'truth' that the public could see was that he was hugging a woman in red high heels on the street... Their actions so intimate, and their relationship ambiguous!

Patrick narrowed his eyes on the photos in alarm. He had already deployed his connections to find out who was behind these two photos. He was ready to take revenge on whoever that dared to mess with him!Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
