Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 724

Amelia then followed up with a question moodily, "So, you mean that it was one of Apex Construction Corporation's competitors who secretly took photos of you and Sissi? And they did it so they could embarrass me at the tender meeting and cause me to lose the project?"

"Exactly. Think about it. The media did not take the opportunity to go public and earn big bucks after they took the scandalous pictures of me. Instead, they kept the photos hidden and waited until someone disclosed it with a gossip magazine at the meeting. Don't you understand what this means?"

When Patrick said this, he was gnashing his teeth. Obviously, the feeling of being set up was terrible!

However, Amelia felt that Patrick's words sounded like he had the intention of shirking responsibility. "If you didn't do such a thing, who would be able to get this leverage on you?"

When Patrick's expression switched, she added, "Even if someone was planning this out behind the scenes, did they force you to take Sissi shopping and carried her right in the middle of the street?"

There were flames of outrage dancing in Patrick's eyes. "I've told you. There was a reason why I

brought her out and carried her!" "And what's the reason?"

"It was because she had just moved, so I took her out just to buy some furniture."

The moment the words left his mouth, Patrick realized that it still sounded awkward and suspicious.

But that was the truth. Other than buying furniture, nothing happened between him and Sissi.

"Ha!" Amelia stared at him cynically, "Yes, I almost forgot about it. Were you obligated to take her furniture shopping when you already bought a house for her? You've already arranged her personal

life, don't tell me you also have a hand regarding her job?"

Patrick paused for a moment.

But it was exactly at this moment of hesitation that Amelia continued furiously, "You actually arranged a job for her!"

To which Patrick only replied slowly, "Yes."

Amelia was instantaneously enraged, picking up the pillow from the bed and flung it at Patrick. "Great! You've already taken care of her everything. I think you're just one step away from having children with her!"

Patrick endured her fit of outrage in silence. To be honest, he did not feel hurt in the slightest. Instead, he was furtively pleased.

Since Amelia's anger had reached the point of getting violent with him, this proved that he still had a place in her heart, not a small one too.

"If that's the case, why should we get divorced? We need to make full use of the time and have more children!" thought Patrick.

Just as Patrick was about to run wild in his thoughts, he heard Amelia's icy comment. "Look at how wide you're smiling. Don't tell me you already had children with her?"

Lowering his head to examine her face, Patrick then asked in annoyance and amusement, "And you mind it?"

"I mind it just so-so," answered Amelia stiffly.

"Just so-so? How do you even feel that way?"

"If you've told me this in the past, I would have been greatly bothered by it. But ever since I brought..."

Noticing the sudden dimming in his eyes just as she was about to say 'divorce', she changed it to, "But ever since I brought that up with you, my concern about your relationship with Sissi changed and diminished. And when you sign the papers with me, I won't give it a single thought anymore!"

Amelia's statement explained the entire process of how she went from 'concerned' to 'don't care'.

Patrick glared at her, displeased. "I don't believe that you're so calm about this!"

Amelia then replied affirmatively, "Though time can be the cause of everything, it also washes away everything. With sufficient time, I can feel at ease about this!"

Patrick immediately flew into a rage and seethed, "Unfortunately, I won't give you time to get calm!"

The second the last word left his mouth, Patrick pushed her down onto the bed with manly strength and perseverance before she could reply.

With his forehead pressing against hers, he told her, "I've already left my mark on your body. But since that's not enough, we should establish a spiritual bond as soon as we can!"

And by 'spiritual bond', he meant children!

"No!" Amelia began to struggle violently. "I don't want to have a baby with you! I don't want to!" All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He had not even settled the matter with Sissi, so what position was he in to want Amelia to give birth for him?

Patrick was determined. "You can't say no!"

Amelia then objected, "But get this, I can take contraceptive at any time!"

Patrick already had his own way to deal with it. He said, "From tomorrow onwards, I'll send Huxton to follow you around himself. Whatever that goes into your diet and intake has to pass his test first!"

"Do you think that I'll give birth for you as you wish just because of that?" Amelia was flustered to the extreme. "You're too naive. Women are pregnant for a few months, and anything can happen between that!"

Patrick was stunned for a moment, then he thundered, "Do you mean to say that you want to kill your own child?"

"Desperate times call for desperate measures," replied Amelia mercilessly.

Patrick so wanted to squash her to death on the spot!

He wanted to torment her, but when he saw her tears fell on the pillow, he could not help but frown and make an unexpected decision. "Okay, I can wear a condom before you come to an agreement with me."

After a moment of silence, Amelia reckoned she had misheard him. "Are you serious?"

"Yes, because I don't want to force you to give a birth!" After the self-mockery, Patrick let go of her hand and fell to the other side of the bed...

He rested one hand on the back of his head and the other on Amelia's waist. Staring at her still awestruck side-profile, he said in a charming voice, "Stay here tonight."

Amelia stammered, "I..."

Impatient to hear her answer, Patrick glared at her and made an outright decision. "If you say one more word that pisses me off, I'll go back on my word right away and have you done with!"

Amelia pursed her lips. Finally, she then reached out to grab the corner of the quilt and wrapped herself up into a cocoon.

Then, very slowly, she closed her eyes.

Watching her natural and graceful movements, Patrick suddenly felt as if he was isolated and shut out.

After a pause, he gave in to it, lifted a corner of the blanket, and squeezed himself under it...

The next day.

At Apex Construction Corporation.

Amelia was blocked at the office door by Kaleb and the rest the moment she arrived at the company. Judging from their posture, they only lacked flags to turn this into a full-on protest!

Observing their concealed anger, Amelia only smiled and asked, "Oh, what day is it today? Why did all the directors gather at my office door? What's the occasion, Uncle Kaleb?"

Kaleb put on a false smile and responded, "President Ramsay, don't play dumb with us. You were in the limelight in front of many peers at the meeting yesterday, but none of the senior leaders of the company knew anything about that."

Amelia listened to him quietly, then exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, so it turns out that all the directors didn't know about this? But I asked Uncle Tucker to inform all of you! Alas... It seems that Uncle Tucker is getting in on age and his memory is deteriorating too. I apologize to everyone here on his behalf."
