Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 622

Seeing that Patrick was lost in thought, Huxton spoke in a softer tone and asked, "Sir, is there something bothering you?"

Patrick glanced at him and answered bluntly, "I don't like it when she shows herself in public."

Huxton frowned as his mind churned and blurted out all of a sudden, "Since you are worried about madam going out to social meetings alone, why don't you accompany her?" Patrick raised his eyebrow. "Accompany her?"

Huxton nodded. "Yes, you can go with madam whenever you're free. She's not as skilled as you are in business, so, with you around, I believe every transaction will be a piece of cake. There are also a couple of advantages in doing so. One is that no one will dare to take advantage of her, and you also won't have to worry about her safety."

Huxton's suggestion completely hit home for Patrick. However, he was not sure if Amelia was willing to accept such a proposal.

Patrick's deep voice reverberated, "We're in the middle of a conflict now, it won't work." "How can you know it's useless before giving it a try?" "She mentioned that even if Apex Construction Corporation closes down, she won't ask me for help."

"It was just her emotion speaking. Sir, you really don't have to take it too seriously." After a pause, Huxton continued, "Madam has always needed you, it's just that when she needed you most, you happened to be away from Northville. She took on a lot by herself in times of desperation. Maybe it's also because of this that made her believe that she can do everything on her own."

Patrick panicked at the sound of this. He hated that Apex Construction Corporation had an accident during this period of time. If it had happened earlier or later, he and Amelia would have probably cooperated instead of going against each other.

However, Patrick could not wrap his head around the reason why Amelia was acting especially irrationally this time. No matter how independent Amelia was, she should not refuse Roxxon Corporation's investment at such a critical moment.

Watching Patrick as his mind wandered away, Huxton asked in confusion, "Sir, what are you thinking about?"

"I've always felt that... she has changed," muttered Patrick, the last three words almost inaudible.

Huxton sighed in his heart. "You're the one who's changed, sir..."
