Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 689

Patrick suddenly remembered that he had a long talk with Amelia this morning which he had casually spoken to get rid of all the staffs except for Huxton. "So, please let me do it." Amelia offered herself to undertake this task.

"No!" Patrick refused without hesitation.

"Why not?"

"It's dark outside. What if you accidentally trip and fall?"

"Do you really think that I'm going to go by foot?"

Howard spoke for Amelia, "I remember that Amelia can drive her own car."

"I won't allow even if you drive. With eyes as small as yours, I doubt you can watch out for yourself in the dark. What if you collide into anyone?"

Amelia scratched her head in confusion. Their conversation sounded familiar to her.

"In this case, Patrick, why not you volunteer yourself as Amelia's chauffeur? You can drop her at the supermarket." Howard smiled as he offered his suggestion. "Huh? Dad, let him stay at home and accompany you. I can handle this on my own." Amelia did not seem to agree with Howard's suggestion.

"Amelia, listen to me. Let Patrick accompany you." Howard insisted.

Patrick glanced at Amelia meaningfully before he spoke again decisively, "Weren't you having something to say to me just now? I'm giving you the chance to say it now." With that said, he passed by Amelia and marched in direction of the shoe cabinet.

Amelia was rendered speechless as her anger overwhelmed her. She could tell that Patrick had agreed into sending her simply because he wanted to avoid staying with Howard.

Before Howard's arrival, Patrick had made it clear that he was under no obligation to help her. In that case, his sudden change of attitude must be motivated by some other reasons! Thinking of this, Amelia abruptly changed her mind and said unexpectedly, "Dad, why not we let Patrick to go and get groceries while I stay at home and accompany you?" Hearing this, Patrick stunned at his feet albeit he was reaching the door.

He forcibly took a few steps backwards and glared at Amelia who was helping Howard in sitting down,
