Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 966

"You're the only one that don't know!"

"You're the only one that don't know!"

"You're the only one that don't know!"

The echo of this sentence made her heart pound fast. Despite feeling enraged and wronged, she was overwhelmed by the disappointment towards herself!

She thought that she had bought something special for Owen as a gift since after all, all she wanted to flatter him.

This was what she was having in mind before she came to Owen's house.

However, as soon as she learnt from Nora that Owen had been committing himself with the matter of 0 river to the extent that he had spent most of the time a day out working on it, she had changed her mind. Since then, she genuinely hoped that she could express her gratitude towards him through the gift that she had bought him.

The reality turned out to be that Owen had quitted smoking. The lighter that she got for him was completely useless and unnecessary.

Nonetheless, she knew that she was not the only one to blame. After all, it was just a matter of sentence that Patrick had chosen not to tell her.

She wondered if this was what Patrick had intended to. He wanted to bring shame on her and humiliate her in front of everybody.

Glaring at Patrick, she growled, "Yes! I admit that I don't know Owen well! But you're the one who accompanied me when I was shopping for Owen's gift. Can't you at least remind me of this?"

Patrick muttered, "Are you now blaming me for failing to remind you? How can you regard yourself as part of the family if you need to be reminded of the details of other family members? Instead of pointing a finger at others, don't you think you should ask yourself this? Why had you not paid enough attention to Owen?"

The truth was it was just a figure of speech for Patrick. Had Amelia been paying close attention to Owen, Patrick would be the first one to feel heartbroken.

Despite overwhelmed with anger, Amelia was unable to retort. After all, he made his point. Sulking, Amelia could only purse her lips.

As the atmosphere between the two of them was getting tense, the remaining of them stopped laughing.

Owen who was involuntarily involved in their conflict felt like he was obliged to say something, "Patrick, I don't think you're right this time. It's true that Amelia doesn't know me as well as you do. But as a husband to Amelia and a brother to me, aren't you supposed to act as a mediator between the two of us?"

Patrick sneered. Had he been given a chance to turn back time, still he would not tell Amelia the fact that Owen had quitted smoking.

It was not without a reason.

Had he told her of this, surely she was not going to be a fool and go ahead with buying this lighter for Owen.

This scene would not have happened altogether if she had chosen another gift.

In fact, he deliberately withheld this key information so that Amelia would not be able to get an appropriate gift for Owen.

At the sight of a wicked smile flashing across Patrick's face, Owen was aware that it was his evil plan to cause such a scene.

Owen soon thought of the incident when Amelia happened to come to his house. It was the time when he discovered that Patrick had installed a hearing device on her. In order to pull a prank on his brother, Owen created a scene where Amelia had to stay with him alone. This was so that to make

Patrick feel anxious and jealous.

However, Owen wondered if Patrick had been in fact holding grudge against him over that incident until this time. After all, he was his brother.

Owen had no other choice but to put on a smile still. He turned around and said to Amelia, "I've accepted your gift. Other than lighting up cigarettes, I feel like it's not a bad idea to use it as deterrence against those culprits."

Amelia could not help feeling embarrassed upon hearing this. Everyone knew that these were just comforting words. The imitation gun was of no use especially when Owen had a real gun to himself.

Having in mind that Owen was trying to be kind to her, Amelia suppressed her dejected feeling and replied, "I'm glad that you like it."
