Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 688

Upon hearing how Amelia flattered Howard, Patrick narrowed his eyes at her with his expression disdainful. There was no need for Amelia to involve him when she expressed her warm welcome to Howard's visit.

The atmosphere was instantly filled with awkwardness as soon as she finished her words.

Seeing that she did not manage to get Patrick to respond to her, Amelia was somehow disappointed. She turned around and said to Howard, "Um... Dad, it's getting late now. Why don't you stay for dinner? You can stay for the night as well. I can get you one room right now."

Hearing this, Howard seemed a little more relaxed, "Amelia is thoughtful as usual... In that case, I'll trouble the two of you tonight."

"How about mom if you are staying over tonight?" Patrick fired his question coldly.

Howard paused for awhile and sneaked a glance at Amelia dejectedly. He had not gotten a proper chance to talk to his son for quite some time, yet he was going to be chased away by his own son at this moment.

Upon receiving Howard's signal for help, Amelia could not help complaining to Patrick, "How can you be like this? It's getting dark outside. Don't you know that it's dangerous for dad to go back at this time? What if he accidentally fall down on his way back?"

Patrick narrowed his eyes and said, "You thought that he came by foot?"

Howard had to remind Amelia awkwardly, "Amelia, I came by car just now."

Amelia did not seem bothered by their words. She continued, "Even so, late night driving is not safe for dad considering his age. He might accidentally collide with another cars on the road." Patrick sneered and said, "Do you think he needs to drive himself?"

Amelia startled as she glanced at Howard. Howard had no other choice but to admit, "I have my driver fetching me, dear."

Amelia bit her lips. At this very moment she could not think of any other better excuses to make Howard stay.

But she could not help feeling sympathetic towards Howard if he had no other choice but to return home.

Amelia made up her mind and said, "Dad, please remain seated. Let me go and check if there's any ingredients remained in the kitchen for dinner."
