Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 768

When Amelia answered, her eyes kept darting left and right, avoiding his gaze. Patrick then grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her over to pin her against the door. His icy breath mingling with her panting when he muttered, "Does it feel good to steal a bite behind my back, Amelia?"

Huh?

"Doesn't that sound... a little too ambiguous?" thought Amelia.

Amelia did not dare to reply right away because she did not know what Patrick meant by 'steal a bite'. Was he perhaps referring to the snacks... Or what happened between her and Kaiden?

Patrick was seething when he watched her shivered and squirming underneath him. She was about to merge into one with the door behind her. He then pushed his chest forward to seal the only way she could get away from him. "Let's see how she can escape now!" thought Patrick.

Because she was being gazed down upon from a close distance, Amelia felt uneasy and wanted to turn her head away from him. In the next second, however, Patrick's grip on her shoulder blades tightened and she squinted her eyes from the pain, murmuring while complaining, "You're bullying me..."

The grievance and indignance in her eyes seemed to have materialized into a silver thread, intertwining around Patrick's fingers and clung around his body in a second, washing him over with a numbing sensation.

Noticing that his movements became a little sluggish, Amelia whined again, "You're already bullying me the minute I come back!"

Instead of describing Amelia's tone as grumbling, it was more towards coquetry, and it was tugging on Patrick's heartstrings.

A moment of silence ensued. When Amelia saw that he had his eyes glued on her, she could not bear it any longer and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Patrick looked at her and said mockingly, "I was just thinking, is there anything about you that isn't a lie?"

"Well..." Amelia's voice was as faint as a mosquito's. "It's not a lie that I haven't had dinner yet..."

"Ha!" Patrick sneered at her answer, "So you're indirectly admitting that you were lying to me when you said you bought me snacks and you missed me?" Amelia was struck speechless.
