Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 557

Hobart thought of Patrick and Amelia's weird expression when they talked about Maryanne. He could not help but ask, "What is the time now in Seattle?" Maryanne paused for a moment before saying, "Huh! It's late at night."

Hobart emphasized, "What is the time?"

"Eleven o'clock?" Maryanne answered in an uncertain voice.

Hobart asked suspiciously, "Maryanne, are you really in Seattle?"

Maryanne replied quickly, "Of course, why would I lie to you? I couldn't find the clock just now so I couldn't tell you the exact time!"

Hobart forced himself to reply, "Alright then."

Maryanne asked worriedly, "Hobart, what's wrong with you? Why are you sighing?"

Hobart said, "Maryanne, if anything happened to you, please don't hide it from me. Just tell me and I'll help you solve it."

Maryanne smiled. "Alright! It's getting late. I'm going to bed. Remember to help me send regards to dad

and mom. Don't let them worry about me."

Hobart responded with a 'sure' and hung up the phone.

Hobart stood still on the spot and thought for a while. Then, he made a call to home.

The person who answered the phone was the maid who was in charge of taking care of Maryanne's diet. "Young master? What can I do for you?"

Hobart said, "Go to Maryanne's bedroom immediately and look for her America passport."

"Okay, please wait a moment." After a while, the maid said on the other end of the line, "Young master, I've found it."

Hobart's heart sank even further when he heard that. Maryanne had lied to him? She had never kept a secret from him!

a pause, the maid asked with concern, "Young master, did something happen to Ms. Maryanne? Please don't scare me." Hobart thought to himself, "Don't ask me. I don't know what had happened as well." After comforting the maid with a few words absent-mindedly, Hobart ended the
