Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 47

Patrick wasn't only late, but he asked his wife for forgiveness, instead of the hostess of this banquet. All these let Brittany and Daniel lose face in front of the public.

Looked at the affectionate couple in front of her, Brittany thought up the day when they were at the Ramsay Family, Patrick was obviously indifferent.

Could it be that... in less than two months, Patrick couldn't hold back and fell in love with Amelia?

Under Brittany's jealousy, Patrick whispered to Amelia beside her ear, pretending to care about her and said, "Mrs. Hopper, you haven't recovered yet. Why don't we sit down and talk?"

Amelia nodded and turned her charming eyes to Brittany and her friends, asking "Join us?"

The sweetness embarrassed Brittany and she had no choice but smiled and said, "No, thanks. Let me greet other guests. Sister and brother-in-law, just feel at home."

Pausing for a while and considering Patrick's prominent status, Brittany had to introduce him to Mamie and her other friends, "This is my brother-in-law, Patrick Hopper. I'm sure you've heard of him before."

"You mean... the Patrick Hopper from Northville?" Mamie was not sure and asked.

Brittany nodded solemnly.

Before leaving, Brittany heard Mamie's roar, "Brittany, why didn't you tell me that your sister had married the elder son of The Hopper Family in Northville? My grandfather used to work with Patrick's grandfather when he was young. If he knew that I had offended Patrick's wife, he would get mad at me!"

"How could I know that Patrick would protect her with such care?" Brittany waved her hand fretfully and all her good mood was gone.

She thought bitterly, "Let's wait and see. When she and Daniel take over Apex, Amelia would regret!"

Amelia didn't expect Patrick would appear at all.

If it weren't for Patrick and the ring brought by him, she would be an "old woman wanted by no one", being laughed at by Mamie and others.

But now everything was fine. Patrick defended Amelia's self-esteem in public, and he took revenge for her by fooled Mamie.

Thinking of Brittany and her friends' embarrassment, Amelia smiled from her deep heart. With her low-profile but luxurious outfit, she attracted many guests.

Patrick didn't want to be disturbed by these gazes, so pulled Amelia to the back of the marble pillar and asked with a gloomy face, "Why didn't you invite me to your family's big event?"

Amelia felt sorry and said, "I forgot..."

Patrick frowned and said coldly, "How can you forget this big event? Does your memory last for seven seconds like a fish?"

Amelia looked at him with detest and said, "It's all your fault. You f**ked me once and once again in the morning. I got so tired that I forgot to tell you about it. When I arrived at the office, there was a large pile of work. Besides, I don't keep Brittany's affair in my mind. I'm here because of my dad. I don't want you to suffer what I suffer, so I thought you don't have to come."

Hearing Amelia's explanation making sense, Patrick snorted and thought, "Taking his thought into consideration sounds reasonable, but she still treats him as an outsider?

Even if she had the chance again, she would probably not to inform him!"

But he asked frankly, "Since you feel uncomfortable here, do you want to leave with me?"

"Yes, I've already 'congratulated' to the newly-engaged couple anyway." Amelia did not want to stay any longer and agreed with Patrick.

Before leaving, Patrick asked, "Say goodbye to your dad?"

Amelia hesitated for a while but finally shook her head.
