Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 767

Good heavens!

Amelia exclaimed shockingly, "How could this be possible?"

It was not the fact that Patrick had chased Huxton out which Amelia was referring to. Instead, she could not believe that Huxton who had always been obedient and loyal towards Patrick, had in fact spoken in contradict to Patrick's request.

Scarlett scratched her head and asked confusingly, "I'm too puzzled. That's why I had asked your whereabouts as soon as I saw you're back." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Um... I went to somewhere." Amelia did not intend to elaborate in detail. After all, Scarlett might not understand it.

Scarlett was not a fool. Seeing that apparently it was not convenient for Amelia to tell her, she smiled without demanding for an answer.

"What happened next?" Amelia continued to ask.

Scarlett then said, "After Mr. Patrick made Huxton standing outside of the house, he didn't come out from his room at all. Since you weren't home yet, I didn't prepare for dinner. Even if I did, I don't think Mr. Patrick will want to have his dinner..."

There was no doubt that Amelia knew very well what was going on. The reason Scarlett had not prepared dinner was that she was holding grudge against Patrick for punishing her man.

Seeing Amelia smiling, Scarlett felt as if she could read her mind.

She bit her lower lip and finally said, "Um... What I want to say is that, can you please go and ask Mr. Patrick to come down for dinner? And also convince him into forgiving Huxton. After all, it's not

easy for Huxton to be the middle person between the two of you..."

Hearing what she said, Amelia promised confidently, "Dr. Scarlett, I'll take responsibility of it. Don't worry, I won't let Huxton take the blame for me!"

Moreover, she felt obliged to repay Huxton for his kindness after he had covered for her!

"I'm sure you'll handle it." Having Amelia's reassurance, Scarlett finally smiled in relief.

Amelia had been observing Scarlett's reaction all this while. Squinting her eyes, she could not help asking, "Anyway, now that I know Huxton was standing outside because he was being punished. Then why would you be there too?"

Scarlett's face turned red as she stammered, "Me?

Um... I was enjoying the night view out there!"

"Oh?" Amelia said insidiously with her expression painted with sarcasm.

Upon being stared, Scarlett reached out to shove Amelia in embarrassment before she said, "Eh! D*mn you!"

Amelia was not mad at all for which she had been pushed by Scarlett. She shouted, "Help me to thank Huxton!" With that said, she turned around and headed to the second floor.

At the door of the study room.

Amelia recollected her emotions before she knocked the door with a smile.

After a while...

"Who is it?"

"It's me!"

"Get lost!"

The roaring from the room sounded as if the person inside was someone who was undergoing the stage of menopause.

Knowing too well that she was the one at fault, Amelia lowered her gaze. After some time, she placed her palm on the door again so that she could let her face came nearer to the door. She called out feebly, "Mr. Hopper, I shouldn't have returned home late and left you alone in this house. It's my fault. Can you please open the door?"

Patrick snorted coldly. It was loud enough to make sure that Amelia heard it so that she would know how terrible his mood was at this moment.

Glaring, she wondered if this man had nothing better to respond to her.

"Mr. Hopper, I heard that you haven't had your dinner. Me too. Why not you join me for dinner?"

"Mr. Hopper, I came across your favorite snacks shop when I was on the way home. So I bought it for you..."

"Mr. Hopper, I've been missing you all day. I'm dying to see you now..."

Amelia continued to dilly-dally at the door despite not getting response from Patrick. In fact, she could have left right away. But since Huxton had helped her, she had no other choice but to bug on Patrick so that she could return Huxton's favor.

The tightly shut door was finally opened after she had spent a considerably long time persuading him into opening the door.

Amelia was overjoyed upon seeing this. She was about to sneak into the room through the space of the door which was now cracked open for her. Towering her, he unexpectedly flicked her forehead.

"Hiss!

Staring at Amelia who was furrowed, there was a trace of sarcasm flashing across his dark pupils.

Moments later, he asked coldly, "Is it painful?"

"Of course it is!" Amelia moaned in her heart.

But as soon as her eyes met with Patrick's furious gaze, Amelia immediately withdrew the intention to speak the truth. She hurriedly put down her hand that was covering on her head and feebly replied, "Not painful at all. As long as you get to vent your anger, you can flick as many times as you wish."

Initially Patrick's anger was already at the verge of its breaking point. But upon seeing Amelia's harmless and innocent face, he could no longer vent his anger at her.

Awhile ago she said that she had been dying of missing him and could not wait to see him when she was outside of the room. Even if he knew that these were only her sugar-coated words in order to get his forgiveness, he had chosen to believe her.

His gaze fall on the reddened mark in between her eyebrows.

Amelia's skin complexion was extraordinarily fair. Any force applied would simply leave marks on her skin, not to mention that he had forcibly flicked her forehead.

Containing the overwhelmed pity for her, Patrick maintained the sternness on his expression and reached out his hand before he asked, "Didn't you say that you had gotten me my favorite snacks? Where is it?"

"Um..." Amelia rubbed her hands in embarrassment as she said, "The truth was I felt hungry as soon as I had bought it. That's why I helped myself with a small bite of it..."

Under the pressure of his ruthlessly cold gaze, Amelia broke out in a cold sweat and explained, "Actually I didn't mean to steal a bite of it. I could have contain myself. But I thought that you might not be happy to know that I had to starve in order to save you your snacks. So for the sake of you, I took a small bite of it..."

"Oh! So you had eaten it for me." Patrick laughed despite he wished to eat her alive right now, "How about the remaining of it?"

Amelia's eyes widened in surprise, "Uh? The remaining?"

"Yeah, since you've only eaten a small bite, I suppose there should be quite a lot left." Patrick teased.

After all, it was just some snacks. It seemed as if Patrick was being excessively calculative.

Amelia said pitifully, "They were too delicious that I couldn't stop eating until I finished all of them. I

guess you wouldn't want me starving."

Patrick tensed a little as he asked tentatively, "In that case, is it true that you're already full?"

If that was the case, then at least one sentence of hers was a lie!

"No, no!" Amelia was so anxious that she could not help waving her hands in clarifying herself.

She admitted that she had lied to Patrick in order to get him to open the door.

She had not gotten him any snacks. Hence, in the face of his questions, she could only lie that she had already eaten it.

But in fact she was wronged too!

Amelia had came all the way from Streams Villa to return to Land of Fragrance without making any stops. Even when Kaiden had suggested to make a stop for dinner, she had refused such an offer sternly.
