Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 1182

"Aunt Alice."

Upon hearing Amelia's greeting, Alice stopped laughing and turned her head to look at her. "Amelia! Where have you been all day? I called you just now, but you didn't answer!"

"Maybe it was because I was on the way just now, so I didn't hear my phone ringing. Sorry to have made you worry." Amelia covered it with an excuse and glanced at the other person.

"Oh, by the way, look who's back!"

As Alice spoke, Brittany's eyes were no longer cheerful. Instead, they were filled with hostility, which Amelia was familiar with.

After looking at Amelia and Brittany, Alice's gaze got back on Brittany. "Brittany, why are you still keeping quiet?"

Brittany's mouth twitched a little as she called out in an inaudible manner, "Amelia."

It was out of her expectation that Brittany greeted her, so Amelia could not help but raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that Alice had already taught her in advance.

Amelia responded with a nod. The servant handed her a cup of tea after she had taken a seat. She asked in a casual tone, "Brittany, why did you come back at this time?"

Brittany raised her chin and said in a rude manner, "This is my home. Shouldn't I be able to come back whenever I want?"

Alice was afraid that they would start to argue like before so she hurriedly said to Brittany, "Amelia was just worried about your safety as she saw you coming back alone in the middle of the night."

Brittany pouted her lips. "Don't talk about me. Didn't she doll herself up right after getting divorced and finally returned home in the middle of the night as well? Who knows what she's been up to sneakily?"

"Brittany!" Alice frowned and scolded her, "Are you going to make a mess in the whole family just after you come back?"

"Mom...!"

As Brittany was about to retort, she heard Amelia saying, "Brittany, I asked you why you came back at this time because it's Monday tomorrow and I suppose that you should be attending class at school. Am I right?"

"That's right, Brittany." Alice was just being happy that she had not thought of it until Amelia reminded. "Why did you come back when it's almost Monday but not on Saturday?"

Brittany said gruffly, "Mom, do you think I'm willing to? It's because there was a torrential rain in the South City two days ago. I couldn't take the plane, so I had to ride the high-speed train to come back which took me a lot of time."
