Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 724

Amelia then followed up with a question moodily, "So, you mean that it was one of Apex Construction Corporation's competitors who secretly took photos of you and Sissi? And they did it so they could embarrass me at the tender meeting and cause me to lose the project?"

"Exactly. Think about it. The media did not take the opportunity to go public and earn big bucks after they took the scandalous pictures of me. Instead, they kept the photos hidden and waited until someone disclosed it with a gossip magazine at the meeting. Don't you understand what this means?"

When Patrick said this, he was gnashing his teeth. Obviously, the feeling of being set up was terrible!

However, Amelia felt that Patrick's words sounded like he had the intention of shirking responsibility. "If you didn't do such a thing, who would be able to get this leverage on you?"

When Patrick's expression switched, she added, "Even if someone was planning this out behind the scenes, did they force you to take Sissi shopping and carried her right in the middle of the street?"

There were flames of outrage dancing in Patrick's eyes. "I've told you. There was a reason why I

brought her out and carried her!" "And what's the reason?"

"It was because she had just moved, so I took her out just to buy some furniture."

The moment the words left his mouth, Patrick realized that it still sounded awkward and suspicious.

But that was the truth. Other than buying furniture, nothing happened between him and Sissi.

"Ha!" Amelia stared at him cynically, "Yes, I almost forgot about it. Were you obligated to take her furniture shopping when you already bought a house for her? You've already arranged her personal life, don't tell me you also have a hand regarding her job?"

Patrick paused for a moment.

But it was exactly at this moment of hesitation that Amelia continued furiously, "You actually arranged a job for her!"

To which Patrick only replied slowly, "Yes."

Amelia was instantaneously enraged, picking up the pillow from the bed and flung it at Patrick. "Great! You've already taken care of her everything. I think you're just one step away from having children with her!"

Patrick endured her fit of outrage in silence. To be honest, he did not feel hurt in the slightest. Instead, he was furtively pleased.

Since Amelia's anger had reached the point of getting violent with him, this proved that he still had a place in her heart, not a small one too.

"If that's the case, why should we get divorced? We need to make full use of the time and have more children!" thought Patrick.

Just as Patrick was about to run wild in his thoughts, he heard Amelia's icy comment. "Look at how wide you're smiling. Don't tell me you already had children with her?"

Lowering his head to examine her face, Patrick then asked in annoyance and amusement, "And you mind it?"

"I mind it just so-so," answered Amelia stiffly.

"Just so-so? How do you even feel that way?"

"If you've told me this in the past, I would have been greatly bothered by it. But ever since I brought..."

Noticing the sudden dimming in his eyes just as she was about to say 'divorce', she changed it to, "But ever since I brought that up with you, my concern about your relationship with Sissi changed and diminished. And when you sign the papers with me, I won't give it a single thought anymore!"

Amelia's statement explained the entire process of how she went from 'concerned' to 'don't care'.

Patrick glared at her, displeased. "I don't believe that you're so calm about this!"

Amelia then replied affirmatively, "Though time can be the cause of everything, it also washes away everything. With sufficient time, I can feel at ease about this!"

Patrick immediately flew into a rage and seethed, "Unfortunately, I won't give you time to get calm!"
