Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Upon collecting herself from a heavy heart, Amelia closed the door and left.

Patrick's gaze darkened at her leaving. He thought of going after her but changed his mind in fear that all they had were arguments.

Upon returning to her room, Amelia reached out to her phone and dialed the contact number of The Hopper Mansion.

She had been secretly praying that Eve would not be the one who was going to pick up the call.

However, the reality always went exactly as opposed of her wish.

As soon as she heard Eve's voice coming from the other end of the call, Amelia was driven by an impulse to hang up the call right away!

"Ah! Is today the end of the world? Otherwise, you won't ever call and greet me, would you?"

Amelia was aware that Eve was able to tell from the caller ID shown on the phone at The Hopper Mansion that it was she who was calling. Hence. Eve was directing her sarcasm against her.

Amelia cleared her throat before she asked, "May I know if granny's home now?"

In fact, she found it difficult to address Eve as 'mom'.

Eve did not answer her question. Instead, she asked, "What did you call me?"

"I didn't..." call you anything.

However, she managed to digest her emotions and rephrased her question unwillingly, "Mom, may I know if granny's home now?"

It seemed like she had overlooked the fact that Eve was good at manipulation!

Eve sneered, "It seems like you haven't forgotten that I'm your 'mom'. I thought that you had forgotten your place after Patrick sided you on the other day. I should remind you that you're no one but someone who's fortunate enough to marry Hopper."

Amelia was not triggered by her provocations. Instead, she teased her back, "Of course I know that I don't belong to The Hopper Family, but I never consider my marriage as pure luck of mine since I know my worth. The person who said so must be a pity for herself. She must have been thinking herself this way to ever come out with such words."

In her high-pitched voice, Eve exclaimed, "Amelia!

You don't have to play with words if you were to disrespect me!"

Amelia could not help sneering secretly. After all, she did not agree with Eve. Instead, she had made her points from her counter argument.
