Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 963

Her words sent Patrick into dead silence.

Upon seeing Patrick's expression darkened, Amelia, who was all this while watching their interaction, finally burst out laughing.

Her laughter immediately attracted stares from Patrick and Ashley.

Standing with arms akimbo, Ashley grumbled in annoyance, "Eh, aunty! Patrick and I are fighting now because of you! Not only you didn't stop the fight, you find it entertaining when watching us. You're such a culprit!"

Patrick, too, was staring at her with a ferocious expression. She guessed Patrick was trying to deliver the same message as Ashley.

Amelia could even tell his unspoken monologue. Surely he must be thinking that she was the last person to entitle to laugh since the commotion started because of her. He would not have to suffer from such humiliation had he not trying to speak for her.

Clearing her throat, Amelia put on a stern expression before she said, "Alright Ashley, I guess you already have enough fun, hadn't you? Patch up with your homework now. You have tons of time to be with your uncle tonight. You can take the chance to mend your relationship with your uncle that is now ruined because of me."

"Mm, this sounds much better." Ashley finally settled down from her restlessness in satisfaction.

At the sight of this, Patrick shot Amelia a disapproving glance and said sternly, "You're going to spoil her."

Undefeated, Amelia fired back, "You sound as if you had never pampered her."

The kid's room was separated by two settings at this moment.

On one setting, Amelia and Andrew were sitting on the floor with legs crossed while playing chess. Amelia used to play chess at her young age.

Back then, when Amelia was yet a grown-up, George had arranged a variety of extra-curricular classes for her.

However, none of them had successfully developed into her strength due to Amelia's rebellion against her father.

She used to think that it was because of George's change of identity and status that he had to cultivate her undiscovered talents. She was no more than someone who was connected to him by blood that was not supposed to bring him shame.

And it was all down to a matter of pride.

In order to always make him feel proud, Amelia became the one who suffered from his pride. There was no way possible that she was going to feel justified.
