Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 281

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Maryanne said sarcastically, "Are you a ghost? Why do you always show up?"

Amelia frowned and said, "This hotel is owned by your family? Can't I come?"

Maryanne tidied her hair on the side of her cheek and said proudly: "I can only say that the timing of your appearance is too coincidental, you used to stalk Patrick, but now you even try to get close to my own brother. You're not tired of being played by Patrick and looking for another sugar daddy, are you?"

Amelia's cold look turned to one of disgust, "I thought the solitary confinement would at least teach you a lesson, but you haven't changed a bit."

Maryanne took a few breaths to suppress her anger and deliberately said, "I'm not going to argue with you, I'm in a hurry to have dinner with my boyfriend. Oh, right, I'm sure you didn't know that my boyfriend is your best friend, Milton."

Maryanne said as she came over and took Hobart's arm affectionately, in fact, her situation was not bad at all, Hobart was her big brother and Milton was her registered boyfriend, both men were Amelia's "prey", seeing them with her, Amelia must felt very painful, right?

While Maryanne was gloating, Amelia simply walked around her with indifference. She knew that Maryanne was trying to provoke her, so she didn't want to step into her "trap" and decided to ask Milton face-to-face what he thought.

"Humph, pretending to be noble! Disgusting!"

Maryanne made a face at Amelia's back, but Hobart slapped her on the back of the head with his hand, "You can stop this now."

Maryanne grumbled gloomily, "Hobart!"

Hobart raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I really don't know why you're so proud of yourself in front of her."

Maryanne said childishly, "Of course I am! Now that I've stolen Amelia's man, how wouldn't I show it off?""

Hobart snorted and said, "Others may not know what you're doing with Milton, but I can see it."

Under the glare of Hobart's sharp eyes, Maryanne avoided his gaze and said, "Hobart, I don't understand what you mean."

After taking a deep look at Maryanne, Hobart changed the subject and said in a low voice, "Let's go in."

In Hobart's opinion, Maryanne and Milton most likely had some kind of secret agreement, because Hobart could not see any ambiguity in their relationship as lovers, but rather they were fighting over something from time to time.

Although Hobart had a problem with Milton because of Amelia, Milton was undeniably a better man and had a more stable personality than Patrick, and if Maryanne could get the upper hand in this contest and develop chemistry with Milton, he wouldn't have to worry about his sister any longer.

When Amelia returned to her compartment, she was confronted by Patrick's complaining eyes, and she could see that he was getting impatient.

Florence said directly, "Amelia, what took you so long, Patrick called you so many times."

"Yes?" Amelia pulled her phone out of her pocket and saw that she had three missed calls from Patrick, but she didn't notice because she had put the phone on silent in her panic.

There was also one received call from Patrick, and that was the one that led to her being discovered by Miss Secretary! Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Putting the phone back, Amelia explained to Patrick, "Sorry, I didn't hearthat."

Everyone in the room was waiting for Patrick's reaction, and Patrick was probably already thinking about what to do to Amelia after so many ignored phone calls.

Even Amelia was at a loss for words as she looked at Patrick, who never sees the occasion when he loses his temper.

Patrick was now the subject of much attention, but he pointed his finger to the seat next to him, and said to Amelia with a nonchalant look, "Why are you standing there? Come here and have your meal."

"Just... That's it?"

Owen was surprised because he had been threatened to break off the relationship with Patrick after he accidentally hung up on Patrick.

And Florence grew up with Patrick hanging up on her all the time, thought she should try hanging up on Patrick sometime in the future.

To everyone's uncomprehending looks, Amelia sat back down next to Patrick, who quietly said to her, "I'll teach you a lesson when I get home!"

The smile disappeared from Amelia's face; she already knew that Patrick was not that generous.

About an hour after they ate, Howard made a subtle comment about wanting to leave first.

"Howard, don't you want to eat more?" Amelia and the others tried to persuade him to stay.

"Howard, it's not easy for us to get together and have a reunion dinner. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Granny Hopper said at the same time.

Howard said with a look of embarrassment, "I'm getting old and really can't eat more."

Seeing that he was really uncomfortable, Owen proposed, "Dad, I'll take you back."

Eve put down her fork and knife and said, "All right, I'll go back with you."

Howard was sympathetic to his oldest son's slight limp and went along with Eve's words, "Well, that's decided."

After Howard and Eve left together, Granny Hopper asked Florence, "Did your parents quarrel with each other often?"

After swallowing the salad, Florence said, "I don't know, Nana. I'm busy with work and have no chance to go home. You'd better ask Patrick and Amelia."

Seeing that Granny Hopper was looking at him, Patrick turned his eyes to Amelia and said, "You should ask her. She should know more than us."

This was true. Howard and Eve had argued for her.

Amelia secretly cursed Patrick in her mind. How could she comment on his family affairs? Whether to tell the truth or not, it would be weird.

She answered with hesitation, "Granny Hopper, I didn't live with them. I'm not clear how they get along on a daily basis."

Patrick gave her a sidelong glance. Well, she was smart.

Granny Hopper listened to their ambiguity, she understood what happened.

In fact, it was not difficult for her to see that Howard seemed to be indifferent to Eve today or to say, he was absent-minded.

If it had been a decade or two earlier, she would have been relieved that Howard had a chance to start a new marriage.

But now The Hopper Family had many descendants, and they had become a well- known family in Northville. If Howard and Eve made any trouble at this time, Granny Hopper would be worried.

At this moment, Ashley raised her big shining eyes and said to Patrick, "Uncle Patrick, I'm full."

In Ashley's expectant eyes, Patrick calmly said, "Take a napkin and wipe your mouth."

Ashley asked, "No, I want you to wipe it for me." Patrick remained calm, "If you don't clean it up on your own, I will only bring Andrew home."
