Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 415

"Ah..." Amelia said, a little awkward, "I think it's probably because of what happened with your parents."

There was not much difference whether they celebrated Christmas or not. No matter how festive it could be, Howard and Eve would no longer be as happy as they used to be.

Patrick was silent for a moment. The reason Granny Hopper had told Amelia to ask Patrick must have been that she was afraid that a direct question would cause his disgust. In this case, he might as well have Amelia be his messenger.

"After you go home, tell Grandma that I'll only spend Christmas in Northville. By the way, ask her if she would stay here for Christmas before returning to Dallas."

"Alright, I'll ask her." Amelia nodded and left.

When Amelia returned to the sales department, she found that every female colleague had received a new uniform. They looked very happy, as if they had received chocolate on Valentine's Day.

Doris, who was opening the package, caught a glimpse of Amelia. After she saw that Amelia had gotten changed into the new uniform, coupled with where Amelia had just gone, her thought swam.

Without bothering to open the package, she went over and asked, "Amelia, didn't you go to meet Mr. Hopper? Why do you come back in the new uniform? Er, where are the clothes you've worn?"

Amelia had long come up with an excuse on her way back. "After meeting Mr. Hopper, I received this new uniform from his secretary. Because it looks so good, I couldn't wait to change it in the bathroom on the 18th floor. I have got rid of the other one."

"I see. It looks like I was overthinking..." Doris stuck out her tongue.

If Doris had been smarter, she would have noticed the loophole of Amelia's explanation.

Before Amelia came back to the department, the secretary had been checking goods downstairs. Since they couldn't meet at all, how could the secretary hand the new uniform to Amelia?

In the evening. At Land of Fragrance.

"Grandma, that's how he told me after I asked the question for you."

Amelia and Granny Hopper sat across from each other. The relaxed air froze because of Amelia's words.

After a long while, a relieved smile appeared on

Granny Hopper's face. "I understand he doesn't want to celebrate Christmas in Dallas. Forget it. I was just saying. If he doesn't want to go back, he doesn't have to!"

Amelia asked with concern, "Grandma, if we don't go back, aren't there only you and Grandpa at home?"

Granny Hopper muttered to herself, "It's been like this every year..."

Amelia felt sad at that. She wanted to do something for her, but there was nothing she could do.

Sensing the guilt on Amelia's face, Granny Hopper patted her hand and said, "It doesn't matter. It's not like we'll never see each other again. If you want, you could visit us in Dallas at any time."

Amelia suggested, like a child, "Grandma... How about we bring Grandpa here so that we could celebrate Christmas together!"

Granny Hopper laughed. "Silly, bringing Zach to Northville means that he may meet Eve. If Eve says something she shouldn't, I'm afraid the Christmas would be a disaster."

Zach was the one capable of smashing Patrick's face with an ashtray the moment they met. Amelia did not doubt the possibility of Granny Hopper's words at all.

"Neither approach works... It's so annoying." Amelia sprawled on the table and sighed.

Granny Hopper smoothed her hair and said lovingly, "Although I want to spend Christmas with you guys, tomorrow... I will be back to Dallas."

"What?" Amelia threw her head up and exclaimed in disbelief. "Grandma, it's all so sudden. You didn't tell us before!"
