Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 439

After the scandal between her and Shawn, another round of heated discussion of her started again on all kinds of social media.

"Well, although I'm not in the entertainment business, I caught everyone's attention..." Amelia sighed.

A laugh sounded, "Don't you think they're talking about you because of me?"

Amelia felt a thrill at the back of her head. She looked over her shoulders and found Patrick watching her coldly.

Her face turned pale. "How long have you been standing behind me?"

Patrick added, "Since you started to flatter yourself."

Amelia blushed. "I know they talk about me because of you, but can't you just let me flatter myself a little?"

Patrick grabbed a chair and sat next to her. "Sure, my woman is qualified enough to flatter herself."

Amelia was caught off guard. She thought that Patrick was a reserved man and had never expected him to be so natural when flirting with her.

Patrick glanced at the small square box under the computer screen. "Are you checking the condition of Mount Logan?"

"Yep," Amelia replied, "I didn't make it there last time, so I want to go again."

Patrick gave her a faint smile. "Not going with that Quartley guy this time?"

Knowing that he was testing her, Amelia played dumb. "I haven't asked him yet. Mr. Hopper, if you like, I can call him and ask him out with us."

Patrick couldn't sit tight now. "Mrs. Hopper, how dare you claim to invite Ryan in front of me!"

Amelia pretended to be surprised. "Eh? Did I say I'm inviting Uncle Quartley? I was talking about a colleague of our department named Quartley."

Realizing that he had been teased by the little woman, Patrick felt annoyed and amused at the same time. He reached out to pinch her pretty nose.

Two days later. It was Christmas. The snow that had continued for three months stopped today, which brought great convenience for those traveling.

Patrick, Amelia, Owen, and Nora, along with the two kids all came to the Hopper's today to visit Howard and Eve.

"Uncle Patrick! Amelia!"

Before they could see each other, the children's clear voice reached their ears.

Amelia looked over and found two little kids jumping from each side of Owen's car and rushing towards her and Patrick.

As usual, Ashley hurried to Patrick while Andrew stood two steps away from Amelia and gave her a shy, adorable smile.

"Hello, Andrew." Amelia reached out to touch his head and found that his hair was a little shorter and neater, which made him look more like a little man.

"Auntie, I miss you so much." It was unclear whether it was because of the timidity or the cold, his red, round cheeks looked like little apples. He was so lovable that Amelia almost wanted to take Patrick home and get herself pregnant.

"Well, I miss you too." Amelia smiled.

Andrew looked up at her with his sparkling eyes and said politely, "Amelia, merry Christmas!"
