Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 977

If it were not for the occasional coincidence of picking up food from the same dish, both Amelia and Patrick could consider that the person sitting diagonally opposite was just a ball of air. When the tip of their forks met again, Amelia withdrew hers out of habit.

In next second, she heard Patrick mutter, "You first."

Amelia shot him a glance at the last rib left in the thermal container and refused, "No, there's only one left. You can have it instead."

This meal was originally intended to please Patrick. How could she fight over food that was rightfully his?

Nevertheless, Patrick refused to eat the ribs and left them out till they turned cold.

Amelia asked curiously, "Why don't you want it now?"

Patrick lifted his eyes and stared at her. "Then why don't you have it too?"

Amelia blurted, "Because I want you to have them."

The corners of Patrick's lips curled slightly. "I don't like this. You can go ahead."

"You said you don't like them, but you ate so much just now..." After mumbled to herself, Amelia recklessly refuted, "Don't tell me you want me to have it too?"

A trace of annoyance flashed across Patrick's face. "Foolish woman, it's fine as long as you understood it yourself. You don't have to say it out loud!"

Amelia replied with a long "oh". She suppressed the little joy blooming in her heart and asked again, "Then I'll eat this, okay?"

This time it was Patrick's turn to be puzzled. "Weren't you so arrogant just now? Why did you suddenly become so cautious when we are eating?"

Amelia's eyes sparkled. She could not possibly say that this was specially made by Nora to the nourishment of his body, so it was not respectful of her to eat so much, right?

After thinking for a while, Amelia explained, "This is a 'gratitude feast' specially prepared for you, so there is no reason for the host to eat more than a guest. I'll just need to have a little, the main point is that you are full!"
