Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 575

Patrick, who was ahead of Sissi, reached out and pulled at the library's door only to find that the two doors would not budge no matter how hard he tried. His face darkened as he assumed, "Is the door locked from outside?"

Sissi also tried to open the door to no avail. She asked, "Could it be that the librarian thought there was no one in the library, so they locked it?"

"Why would they lock it? It's just a crappy library. Will thieves have their eyes set here?"

From Patrick's point of view, even if thieves came to steal from this school, they would not know where to start because there was nothing for them to take!

Seeing that Patrick had raised his leg and was about to kick the door, Sissi stopped him and said, "Wait. I'll call the management and ask them to unlock it!"

Hearing this, Patrick withdrew his long legs and turned to sit on the bench. He said impatiently, "Then hurry up!"

"Okay." Sissi searched for the contact on her phone and dialed it. She then furrowed her brows slightly and said helplessly to Patrick, "No one answered. It seems that everyone has got off work."

Patrick subconsciously looked at his watch and found that he had been busy working with Sissi without noticing that it was already six-thirty in the evening...

"Let me do it." Looking away from the watch, Patrick took out his cell phone from his pocket and called the secretary. He then asked her to bring someone to unlock the door for them.

Sissi's attention fell on his phone. "When did you start liking domestic products?"

Following her gaze to his phone, Patrick replied irritably, "Ah this, I bought it to cater to my wife's tastes, it's a couple's model."

Stunned for a moment, Sissi pulled her lips into an awkward smile. "I haven't asked you yet, what kind of person is your wife?"

"She's dumb and stupid," answered Patrick. The corner of his lips could not help but lift.

Sissi murmured, "Really?" Didn't he always like the smart type?

On that note, both of them had nothing else to say.

Patrick had only relaxed his frown when the secretary brought some men over to pry open the door. He straightened up and walked towards the door.

Sissi remained rooted to the ground, left alone and forgotten behind.

"Mr. Hopper, are you alright?"

When the secretary realized that Patrick and Sissi were in the same room alone, she scanned Patrick from top to bottom.

Fortunately, his clothes were still neat, and there were no lipstick marks on his face and neck...

Patrick replied neutrally, "I'm fine. Help me pack my things when you get back. I want to go back to Northville immediately."

"Really?" The secretary's eyes lit up.

Patrick gave her a sidelong glance. "Why are you so excited?"

The secretary took a lot of effort to hold back herself from revealing Amelia's previous appearance at this village. "I just feel sorry for Mr. Hopper, who's suffering in this godforsaken place..."

The next second, the look in the secretary's eyes changed suddenly. She pointed to somewhere at Sissi, who was behind Patrick in horror, and screamed, "Teacher Sissi! Look out!"

Bang...

A shabby bookshelf fell to the ground and hit Sissi's legs. Fortunately, with the warning from the secretary, Sissi had turned sideways to avoid it. Otherwise, the bookshelf would have collapsed on

Sissi directly.

Patrick reacted at lightning speed. He rushed over and shoved the bookshelf from Sissi's legs.
