Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

At the sight of this, Patrick could not tell whether he was in fact happy or disappointed.

Amelia was stubborn as usual. He could not possibly expect her to tear up in front of her own husband like any other ordinary woman.

When Amelia was preparing for dinner in the kitchen, Patrick showed up himself.

She could not help feeling uncomfortable. In fact, she wished that Patrick would disregard the promise that he made to her just like what he used to do in the past.

Initially, she thought of leaving everything behind for him so that she could flee from the kitchen.

However, she got rid of this thought as soon as she remembered Patrick's cooking skills. Hence, putting aside what happened earlier, she had to stay and get the dinner done.

Despite the silent treatment that was still ongoing between the two of them, they managed to work together harmoniously and get the dinner served.

It only took Patrick a couple of days time to tell from her expression regarding the amount of seasonings that he was required to put in his cooking. Even Amelia was surprised at the speed that he picked up cooking.

Upon gathering herself from such thought, Amelia pulled out a chair and began to have her dinner in lightning speed. Subsequently, she washed her dishes before leaving to her bedroom without turning back.

She had not forgotten the bruises that she got all over her wrists and neck. They were still waiting for her to nurse on them. Otherwise, she was going to be gossiped about by whoever came across her bruises the next day at work.

What was more, she had to go back to The Hopper Mansion tomorrow. Having in mind the lack of trust that Howard had towards Patrick, most probably he was going to think that she had been abused by Patrick.

Although the truth was Patrick had indeed abused her.

Upon returning to the secondary bedroom, Amelia locked her room door before she threw herself into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, she put on a bathing robe and stepped out from the bathtub.

Just as she was tiptoeing and about to took a glance at her neck with the help of the reflection of the mirror, she thought that she heard an inaudible shuffling sound coming from the room.

Even so, she convinced herself that it was only her illusion.

After all, she remembered that she had already locked her room door.

Besides, it was unlikely for Patrick to come and bother her anymore after putting her in a state of mess earlier.

At the thought of this, she continued to scrutinize herself through the mirror in relief.
