Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 960

He had already given her a chance to come clean. Since she had no intention to tell him, he could wait until his brother came back and demanded for an answer from him.

Amelia felt as if Patrick could read her mind when he glanced at her. However, in the next second, she heard Patrick saying, "I just want to trick you. If you ever hide any secrets from me, you wouldn't have plausibly spoken to me as if you are justified. In the worst scenario, even if in reality you're engaged in something unspeakable behind me, I would have already known it by now. There's nothing I wouldn't know about you."

Patrick's narcissism was right in the play.

In fact, this time Amelia did not find his arrogance annoying. A stuck-up person would have been ignorant in details. This was exactly what she wanted to see from him.

Heaving a sigh of relief, she said, "I need to run through the kids' homework now. I'll go first."

With that said, Amelia bypassed him in an attempt to head to the spiral staircase.

However, in the next second, Patrick shifted his body sideways. As a result of this, he had successfully blocked her way.

The distance between her and Patrick was so close that she was forced to halt in order to prevent bumping into him. Glancing up, she grumbled, "What's the matter again this time?"

Patrick murmured, "You seem to forget that I'm here under Nora's order to show you the way."

Amelia said, "I don't need you to show me the way. I know which room that Andrew and Ashley are staying and I know how to go there. I would rather you stop following me from now onwards."

He had been following closely behind her all day. Along with his intimate behavior from time to time, Amelia could feel that she fell for his charm again ever since she had declared to herself that she was not going to be anymore.

She was aware that this would pose a threat to her determination to become estranged from Patrick!

Patrick's appearance alone was hard for anyone to resist, not to mention that he had been showing his affection on purpose. Everything of him that came in a bundle had made her extremely vulnerable!

Her sound mind was warning her to stay as far as possible away from the charm of this dangerously good-looking man.

Patrick's intensified gaze fell onto Amelia's gloomy face. He said, "Are you now depriving me of my privilege to express my concern towards their study as their uncle?"

Amelia was utterly dumbfounded.

She was not sure if there was any more appropriate word to describe her feeling at this moment.

She could only find her voice after a few moments. Hastily she asked, "Do you have to follow me all the time? Don't you find this annoying?"

Unlike Amelia, who was trembling in anger, Patrick replied calmly without a doubt, "No, I don't."

The atmosphere between them immediately fell into pin-drop silence.

After a while.

Feeling ridiculous, Amelia could not help saying, "Patrick, even though I don't know what's your motive, I want to make myself clear that I find this very annoying. I don't like to be with you all the time and your presence makes me feel suffocating!"

"Nonsense." Patrick said affirmatively.

A single word from him had immediately sent Amelia into deep frustration.

Knock...knock...knock...

Amelia could hear a chair shuffling from inside after she knocked on the door.

A while later, she heard someone mumbling behind the door.

"Who's this?" It was Andrew who was speaking.

"Idiot! Who else can it be? It must be mommy! She's here to check our homework. You don't open the door first. Let me finish copying the answer for this question!" Amelia could tell that this time it was Ashley who spoke.

Amelia found it amusing especially when she heard Ashley calling her smart brother an idiot.
