Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 270

Amelia glared in annoyance at Patrick who was making fun of her and asked him, "What's so funny?"

He said, "Are you going to go out in yesterday's clothes, or are you going to go out wrapped in a blanket?"

Amelia suddenly realized that she had been brought to Hawoi City by him out of the blue, and felt helpless as she hadn't brought any clothes with her.

Patrick said in an owner's voice, "You'd better stay in the hotel until I get back."

"Why?" She was not a pet!

Patrick joked, "because you didn't bring any clothes or money with you."

Amelia was speechless.

At noon.

Amelia felt hungry and hesitated to order takeout, then Patrick returned in time.

He handed the tote bag to her and said generously, "Here, new clothes."

"Thanks!" Amelia took the bag without looking and quickly walked into the bathroom before taking off the makeshift robe she was wearing and changing into new clothes instead.

"Wow, it's so comfortable." Amelia praised sincerely.

Patrick brought her a linen-colored V-neck, which revealed the position of her clavicle. And the dark blue jeans were a foreign brand that she had rarely seen, but surprisingly, it was suitable for Amelia perfectly.

What she didn't know was that Patrick had bought them especially for her at a purely Italian handmade brand store, where every stitch had been carefully selected and sewn by the designer, and they were certainly comfortable to wear.

Seeing Amelia come out of the bathroom, Patrick pretended not to care about the ring necklace that was showing on her V-neckline, but it looked like he had bought the right dress so that people would know Amelia was married even if he didn't say anything.

With the problem of clothes solved, Amelia had other more pressing needs, "I'm so hungry right now, will you take me to lunch?"

Patrick raised his chin and said, "Beg me."

Amelia said perfunctorily, "I beg you."

Patrick frowned and asked, "That's it?"

"Well, yes, that's it." Amelia was so hungry that she could only repeat his words.

Patrick accepted it.

At lunch, two people came to greet Patrick and Amelia. One of them was Luke, a client that Patrick was visiting this time. Patrick responded, "What a coincidence, Luke."

Before Luke could say anything, the exquisite looking woman next to him spoke first, "It's no coincidence. When our boss found out about the hotel where Mr. Hopper rested, he came over to greet you."

Patrick looked up at the woman and inquired, "Who are you ?"

Seeing Patrick's seemingly interested in the woman he had brought with him, Luke took the initiative to introduce her, "Here, let me introduce you. Her name is Loraine Cowell, the head of our company's PR department... By the way, and this is?"

Sensing Luke's vigilance, Amelia had stopped eating when they arrived. She got up and said, without humility, "Hello, I'm an employee of Roxxon, currently employed in the sales department."

Amelia wouldn't reveal herself as Mrs. Hopper without Patrick's permission because she didn't want to upset him.

"Yeah Mr. Hopper, I'd be a good tour guide," Loraine said confidently with a toss of her hair.

Patrick didn't refuse, "Well, thank you."

Loraine was ecstatic and was already scheming to seduce Patrick into bed tonight.

After gathering for the meal and returning to their respective rooms, Patrick saw Amelia's sullen face. He hid his glee, and moved forward ready to hug her, "What's the matter?"

Amelia quickly ducked out of the way and said incredulously, "You actually invited Loraine to stay in the room across from us?"

Staring at her jealous expression, Patrick deliberately irritated her, "Isn't a hotel open for people to stay?"

His tone really irritated Amelia, and she poked her index finger into his hard chest as she said, "She wouldn't have stayed if you hadn't agreed!"

Patrick pinched her angry face and couldn't help but laugh, "You mind her very much?"

It wasn't that Amelia minded Loraine's presence, but the way Patrick treated Loraine, the soft glances he gave Loraine when he spoke to her, and the gentle tone of his voice were both strange to Amelia, for Patrick always gave Amelia coldness rather than tenderness.

Not wanting to admit that it was jealousy, Amelia said awkwardly, "It's nothing. It's just that she's so aggressive. She looks like she's plotting something."

Patrick laughed, "Her biggest scheme was to get me, that's all."

Oh, sh*t! Amelia clenched her fists, though it was undeniably true, he wasn't humble at all!

Patrick induced, "Want to know what to do to stop her plotting?"
