Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 798

Patrick secretly cursed when he saw that Amelia was staring at him with resentment. What he hated most was Amelia portraying a feeling of hatred towards him instead of love!

Amelia, who was blindly scolded by Patrick said without any expression, "I m already full. I'm going upstairs to take a rest first."

Just as she was about to walk past him, Patrick said with an awkward expression, "You're full but I haven't eaten yet!"

Amelia stopped and recalled that both Huxton and Scarlett had gone out on a date. There's no one home to cook for him so he must have been starving since he got home.

No wonder he was so hot-tempered.

Amelia had to ask, "Didn't Huxton notified you that they were taking a break?"

Patrick said coldly, "They did."

Amelia then asked confusingly, "Since you approved their leave, why didn't you take your dinner before you came back?"

Patrick dropped his gloomy eyes and stared at her. He then stressed every word he said, "Because I

have my wife at home, didn't I?"

Upon hearing this, Amelia did not know how should she responded. While she was trying to be unrestrained, Patrick had already gotten used to her being a part of his life...

However, did she have to prepare a meal and wait blindly for him to return?

After suppressing the entanglement and discomfort in her heart, Amelia said in a low and muffled voice, "I think you'd better not rely too much on me when it comes to housework. After all, I have my own career now..."

Patrick who could not accept what Amelia said interrupted. "Didn't you have your own career back when you were in Roxxon Corporation? Why can you serve me by then but not now?"

Amelia was filled with anger. Indeed, she had to admit that she was willing to do everything for Patrick no matter how late he was. Even if all her efforts would go in vain when Patrick called home and said that he would not be back due to sudden issues. She would never complain at all unless it involves Cynthia.

But now, when she heard Patrick using the word 'serve' to describe her previous effort, Amelia felt that her heart had shattered into pieces.

Shouldn't they be equal as husband and wife?

Why did they have to belittle each other in order to gain a sense of pleasure?

She did not want to look at the man who pissed her off. Amelia turned and looked down at her toes. She tried to express her feeling as calmly as possible. "Patrick, can you stop taking everything for granted? There would be a time when I'll be lazy to cook, I hope you can understand me. I know it's normal for men to not cook especially a noble one like you.

That's why I suggested you to fill your stomach in the restaurant when there's no one at home so that you wouldn't have to wait for me or Dr. Scarlett to come back and get mad at us! It's not helping either of us and you would still be starving."

Patrick pursed his lips tightly. How could he not know this?

But in his subconscious mind...he still hoped that Amelia was the one who loved being at home waiting for him, not the one who would roam freely outside and not care about him at all!

Her life was getting more and more carefree, while his was still clinging to the past...

Seeing the frown on his face, Amelia could not help but wanted to comfort him. But then she realized that she had already left Roxxon Corporation and they were no longer colleagues nor would they have anything about work to discuss.

Patrick who was not in a good mood replied. "Don't talk to me like you are caring about a kid. I know the market price!"

Amelia hesitated for a moment then asked, "Oh, is that so? How much is half a pound of pork then?

What about the cabbage? How much does a pound of cabbage cost?"

Patrick sneered and said, "I bought beef and leek."

Amelia felt helpless and nodded. "Well then, I'll ask you again. How much is a pound of beef then?"

"100 dollar." Patrick said carelessly.

"What about the leek... What?!" Amelia was shocked and asked, "One pound of beef is 100 dollars? Are you sure you didn't tell me the wrong price?"

Patrick did not care. "Isn't it very cheap? The steak we ordered in the restaurant cost thousands of dollars and we can consume it in just a few bites. It isn't as worthy as what I bought"

It sounded reasonable but it was all nonsense!

Amelia looked at him deeply. If someone told her that it was the first time that Patrick had visited the market, she would definitely believe it!

The most terrible thing was that he was obviously scammed and he still sounded like being scammed was reasonable and acceptable!

Amelia felt her heartache and said, "Patrick, please think about it carefully. The price of a steak in the restaurant is so high because you are not eating merely the steak, you paid for the service fees, the rents, the bill and so on, that's why it's expensive!" "So, it's completely wrong for you to compare the price of beef in markets with the price of the steak in the restaurant! Because the beef in the market was just restocked from the slaughterhouse and you need to cook it yourself. Do you understand?"
