Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 666

"It's the warm weather..." After processing her words, Patrick questioned her with a faint smile, "I think it's because of the butterflies in your stomach, don't you think so?"

"What are you talking about!" Amelia shoved his hands away, agitated, and turned around to go downstairs.

Just as her foot was going to fall on the first step, she was yanked back to Patrick by her wrist against her will! Resisting him was useless!

Amelia was about to erupt from anger when Huxton's words crossed her mind. She must not fight fire with fire because Patrick could not be persuaded by force! He needed to be coaxed! Bearing this thought in mind, Amelia turned back around and tried her best to sound as calm as possible, "Mr. Hopper, what can I do for you to stop being angry?"

Her tone sounded to Patrick as if he was coercing her into it.

Patrick returned coldly, "Aren't you the best at making men happy? Why do you need to ask me?"

Amelia's breath hitched, and she almost broke out into a quarrel with him again!

Then, a solution came to her. "How about you come with me to the hospital to see how badly Brittany fell?"

"Who is Brittany to me? Why should I care about her?" Patrick spat in arrogance.

Amelia pursed her lips at his response and could only resort to take out her phone from her pocket, showing Patrick the text message from Alice from the night before.

Patrick looked down. His brows knitted into a scowl when he read the words 'the baby's gone' and then asked after a moment of hesitation, "You were really doing it for Brittany and her child?"

"That's right!" Amelia took her phone back. "I could've seen Daniel any time I wanted to, so why would I choose to go so late at night when it was the most suspicious to do so? Other than that, wouldn't I use the company's official affairs as an excuse instead of using Brittany's personal reason?

Wouldn't that be more convincing?" Nearing the end of her statement, Amelia turned her tone into one of grievance. "Even if you want to pick a fight with me, don't bring me up in the same sentence as Daniel. It's degrading me!"

Amelia's explanation not only cleared off her relationship with Daniel but also contained a hint of disdain.
