Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 688

Upon hearing how Amelia flattered Howard, Patrick narrowed his eyes at her with his expression disdainful.

There was no need for Amelia to involve him when she expressed her warm welcome to Howard's visit.

The atmosphere was instantly filled with awkwardness as soon as she finished her words.

Seeing that she did not manage to get Patrick to respond to her, Amelia was somehow disappointed. She turned around and said to Howard, "Um... Dad, it's getting late now. Why don't you stay for dinner? You can stay for the night as well. I can get you one room right now."

Hearing this, Howard seemed a little more relaxed, "Amelia is thoughtful as usual... In that case, I'll trouble the two of you tonight."

"How about mom if you are staying over tonight?" Patrick fired his question coldly.

Howard paused for awhile and sneaked a glance at Amelia dejectedly. He had not gotten a proper chance to talk to his son for quite some time, yet he was going to be chased away by his own son at this moment.

Upon receiving Howard's signal for help, Amelia could not help complaining to Patrick, "How can you be like this? It's getting dark outside. Don't you know that it's dangerous for dad to go back at this time? What if he accidentally fall down on his way back?"

Patrick narrowed his eyes and said, "You thought that he came by foot?"

Howard had to remind Amelia awkwardly, "Amelia, I came by car just now."

Amelia did not seem bothered by their words. She continued, "Even so, late night driving is not safe for dad considering his age. He might accidentally collide with another cars on the road."

Patrick sneered and said, "Do you think he needs to drive himself?"

Amelia startled as she glanced at Howard. Howard had no other choice but to admit, "I have my driver fetching me, dear."

Amelia bit her lips. At this very moment she could not think of any other better excuses to make Howard stay.

But she could not help feeling sympathetic towards Howard if he had no other choice but to return home.

Amelia made up her mind and said, "Dad, please remain seated. Let me go and check if there's any

ingredients remained in the kitchen for dinner."

"You're not allowed to go!" Patrick ordered sternly.

Amelia stared at him gloomily. She wondered why would Patrick be this cold-hearted to his own father.

At this time, Howard spoke again with his voice low and sorrowful, "Amelia, it's okay. I'm leaving in a while. After all, it's good to know that both of you are doing good."

Such a pity!

Amelia's heart ached. She could not understand why Patrick would treat his own father this way considering how fortunate he was for having such a caring father. In contrast, it was impossible for Amelia to get the love of her father anymore.

Seeing Howard sighed as he stood up from the sofa, Amelia impulsively pressed on his shoulder in order to make him sit.

As soon as she did this, Amelia began to feel regret.

She could not help feeling even more regretful especially when she spotted the shocking expression on Howard's face.

Rubbing her hands nervously, Amelia smiled at Howard sheepishly, "Dad, I thought that you lost your balance when you stood up, that was why I reached out to help you. Please don't be offended." and legs as he said, "Alas... It's hard for us old people to walk steadily without support. I guess it will only take me another two years before lying underneath the grave."

Howard shook his head. He pounded on his waist

Amelia feared up as if she had seen her own aging father who was lying on his hospital bed at this moment. She tried to convince Howard into staying earnestly, "Dad! Please stay for dinner. I can assure you it's not going to take you too long. At most I'll let driver to send you back after dinner."

"Um..." Howard glanced at Patrick hesitantly as if he had no right to make any decisions.
