Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 959

Upon hearing Nora's question, Patrick's eyes flickered before he replied steadily, "We dropped by a supermarket during our way here. Since we are going to stay for dinner, we had gotten you some fresh meat. It would be inappropriate if we come empty-handed."

Liar!

Knowing that the meat was his leftover, Amelia secretly sneered.

Amelia could not help glancing at Patrick. If he could come out with such a convincing lie now, she wondered how often had he lied to her before without casting her doubts.

Apparently, Nora suspected nothing as she replied, "There's no need to buy so many things, you should just come and enjoy!"

Smiling, Patrick said gentlemanly, "That's what I'm supposed to do."

Amelia pursed her lips. The longer she stayed next to Patrick, the more she doubted her IQ level. She could not help wondering the number of times that she had completely believed everything he said like what Nora did at the moment.

Having this in mind, she was convinced that everything he said to her for the day was nothing but a lie too.

All he wanted was to make sure that she would not call his grandfather and expose the affair between him and Sissi.

Other than that, she could not think of any other other reasons that would lead to Patrick's sudden change of attitude to her.

Patrick had never expected that a white lie would lead to Amelia overthinking everything he had ever said. However, he had no one to blame but himself. After all, he was no longer a trustworthy person in her eyes.

He was in a hurry to send Nora away so that he could spend time with Amelia alone. He then said, "Nora, don't mind us. Keep yourself busy in the kitchen."

Patrick sounded as if Nora belonged to kitchen.

Amelia volunteered herself immediately, "Nora, I'll come with you!"

Somehow, she would rather be anywhere than staying next to Patrick.

There was no way that Nora was going to agree with her coming. She said, "Amelia, actually I would like a favor from you."

Seemingly concerned, Amelia replied, "What is that? I'll try to help."

Nora replied, "Ever since mom had terminated the employment contract of the home tutor of two kids, I can tell that they are struggling with their homework. Do you mind going to their room and guide them?"

Amelia was more than willing to help the kids. She promised, "That wouldn't be a problem at all! By the way, it's already half past seven. Is Owen not home yet?"

Amelia had reached to this conclusion based on her observation. First of all, she had visited Owen's house before. Hence, she recognized the slippers that Owen used to wear at home.

But she had noticed that particular pair of slippers were kept in order on the shoe rack. This suggested that he had not returned home yet unless he no longer wore the slippers.

Nodding, Nora said, "Yes. These days he is busy dealing with the issue regarding C River. It's already normal for him to spend most of the time out working.

Whenever I ask him, he will assure me that everything is fine. But if I ask him to stay at home, he will insist on leading the team himself. Citing his words, he only trusts himself to ensure that

everything is on track.

But this doesn't surprise me. When it comes to things that he is interested in, he will put in his best effort no matter how trivial the matter is. He won't listen to anyone who comes in his way to stop him."

Upon hearing this, Amelia was deeply moved by Owen's effort.

She nearly blurted out that it was because of her that Owen had to spend long hour working. But she had not forgotten that Patrick was here too. He was the reason that she had to keep quiet as she did not want him to know about this.

Her slight pause was unnoticeable for Nora. However, Patrick had known her so well that he instantly caught her hesitation.
