Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 61

Making up his mind, Patrick ordered like a macho, "Do not cut off the video call, you get it?"

Amelia was puzzled and asked, "Why? I'm going to bed and I don't have time to talk with you."

"Before you go to bed, turn the camera to yourself and leave the lights on. So I can check on you any time," Patrick Hopper required.

Thinking how scary it might be when someone stared at you sleeping,

Amelia felt a chill and refused, "No way! I'll have a nightmare!"

Before Patrick continue, Amelia cut off the video call and wondered why he had such a ridiculous request.

Hearing the beeping sound, Patrick felt so annoyed and pessimistic that almost crushed his phone into pieces.

"Good, it was you who forced me to do this." Patrick thought.

He quickly dialed Ms. Lily's number and instructed, "Ms. Lily, sorry to disturb you at night. Please come back after you are done with IDG tomorrow! Why? Well... Because the sales of Valentine need to be calculated and analyzed by your department... Yep, that's it."

Patrick, who sought for his own interests with authority, showed a relieved smile, thinking, "You think everything is fine after cutting off my video call? As long as I don't let you go, you can never get out of my control!"

In Riverdale, the next morning.

Hearing the doorbell, Amelia opened the door and found that Ms. Lily was dressed up and waiting for her at the door.

Seeing Amelia who was puzzled, Ms. Lily said urgently, "Amelia, the logistics company just called me and said that the essential oil has already been delivered at IDG. Let's rush there, verify the goods, and then return to Northville after collecting the payment."

"Wait." Amelia was confused, asking, "Ms. Lily, didn't you say that we weren't in a hurry to go back? We would stay here for two more days."

Ms. Lily sighed and said, "Do you think I'm eager to go back? You know we are the backbones of our department? When we are not there and at the same time the bosses push us, others will not be able to handle."

Amelia sadly said, "But I've brought my camera with me, waiting to capture the beautiful scenarios."

Ms. Lily comforted her and said, "Let's film at the airport as a memory."

"..." Amelia felt pity.

6 pm in Northville.

Arriving at home and seeing the shoe cabinet was moved, Patrick felt satisfied from his deep heart.

"Hey, how are you?"

Finding it was his mum in an apron and smiling at him, Patrick felt a little disappointed, asking, "Hey, mum, why are you here?"

Seeing her son's faint disappointment, Eve felt a little unhappy, saying, "You aren't happy when I'm here?"

Patrick responded properly, "No no, I just care about you."

Eve smiled and said, "I came here to see how you are doing."

Then, she asked with some dissatisfaction, "Where is your wife? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

Untying his tie and sat down on the sofa, Patrick said, "She is busy at work."

"What is more important than caring about her home and her husband?" Eve frowned and said coldly, "You know, your home must be taken good care of by your wife. See, she doesn't come home to prepare dinner for you. I feel so pity for you."

Patrick laughed and said, "Mom, you're way too exaggerating. I'm not paralyzed."
