Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 378

Amelia looked down and said in a tense voice, "Mr. Hopper... I'm sorry. If Cynthia had told me earlier that there was nothing that happened between you, I wouldn't have been so suspicious."

"I understand. It was my fault this time. Fortunately, I didn't make a serious mistake."

Patrick admitted his mistake quickly. As he spoke, his lips got closer and closer to her. When he was about to kiss her, he heard Amelia say, "I also have something to tell you."

Patrick forced himself to stop. His gaze fell on her lips with desire. "Speak."

Amelia said frankly, "After receiving Cynthia's call last night, I threw away the cake I had made for you."

"Huh?" Patrick's handsome face was full of surprise. "You made a cake for me? When?"

Amelia said frustratedly, "When I got off work the day before yesterday. I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect that so many things would have happened. It was my first time to make a cake, but it was tossed into a waste container."

Patrick's dark eyes were full of regret. "Mrs. Hopper, would you make another one for me?"

Amelia thought for a moment before she said, "Then we'll have to wait until next year."

Patrick was not satisfied. "Why do I have to wait? I want one today!"

Amelia was in a dilemma. "But your birthday is over. In Northville, we only celebrate birthdays in advance, and there's no such custom as delaying it."

Patrick proudly raised his chin and said, "I can't be the first one to do that?"

"Well... you can! But not today."

Under Patrick's unhappy gaze, Amelia said pitifully, "You don't know how unlucky I was. Yesterday when I was about to get off work, Hobart called me and left me to work on the sales report in the company. When I was about to finish, the company was out of power. I have to redo it again later so I don't have time to make a cake for you for the time being."

Patrick narrowed his eyes and came to figure the whole thing out by Amelia's words. "So, nothing is going on between you and Hobart?"

"Of course not!"

"Then why did I see you hugging each other?"

"That's because I was about to fall over and Hobart was kind enough to help me. And we both wound up falling to the ground together."

Patrick scoffed. "Kind? Humph! It'd be strange if he

would be kind!"

Amelia disagreed a little bit. "Eh? Although sometimes he looks like a good guy and sometimes a bad one, he is generally a nice person."

Patrick couldn't help roaring, "You work overtime on my birthday. Once Hobart was there, the company was power-off. When I came to the sales department to find you, you were in Hobart's arms. How can there be so many coincidences in the world?"

"Stop yelling, I'm going deaf," said Amelia softly. She was almost dizzy by his loud voice.

But Patrick was still anxious. "Listen carefully. You are not allowed to see him alone anymore. You'd better not even contact him personally!"

Amelia found that this man was so unfair. After clearing the misunderstanding with Cynthia, he began to refuse to leave her mistake alone.

She mumbled like an aggrieved little woman, "It's not like I contacted him first. I have always been in charge of the cooperation with Mills Skincare Products Corp. Ltd. How can I not pick up his phone call when he delegates tasks for me?"

Patrick said in a non-negotiable tone, "In that case, from today on, hand over the businesses related to Mills to Doris!"

"Oh." Amelia put her hands behind her back, bowed her head, and said in a low voice, "You should have said that earlier."

Patrick was annoyed by the way she downplayed it. For whom he was so angry? He was jealous because of her, the ungrateful chick!

Hang on... Jealousy?

Patrick paused before he took a significant look at Amelia. For the first time, without avoiding his true feelings, he said, "Amelia, I seem to... like you."
