Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 1522

"A bracelet?" Amelia recalled before she exclaimed, "Oh! I remember! You used to wear a bracelet with a lucky charm on your left hand. That was the one he gifted to you, am I right?"

Jessica was surprised when Amelia answered. "Yea, that was the one. I didn't expect you to remember it."

"I once saw the same bracelet on Cartier's official website, which was why it left

an impression on me. If I wasn't mistaken, that bracelet alone cost at least ten to twenty thousand dollars." The significant time lapse caused Amelia to be uncertain of the price she saw on the website.

"What?! Ten to twenty thousand dollars? Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Jessica hollered. The truth was she had thrown the bracelet away a long time ago. Had she known of its price, she would never have done so.

Amelia replied innocently, "I wanted to tell you too. But you told us you bought it from Amazon, so I thought that it was a replica and dared not to bring it up to you."

It was only then Jessica recalled that she did tell that she bought it online. She could not help blaming herself for her stupidity, "How can I be so stupid? No wonder I'm still a failure now!"

Before Jessica freaked out, Amelia hurriedly changed the subject, "Um... Usually, a bracelet means a meaningful gift. Was he trying to confess his feelings for you through it?" "I thought of that too, which was why I accepted the gift without hesitation. By putting it on, I wished he knew to the hint that I was willing to be bound to him. Two months after, the second summer break arrived.

Although I returned to Northville, my heart was at the university. Deep down, I felt like he would look for me. But I was no longer in that city, which made me wonder if he could still find me. The truth soon revealed that he could. Guess what? He showed up downstairs when I was at my gramps' place."

Amelia's heart sank alarmingly. "That's creepy! He knew everything about you, yet you didn't even know his name. That's dangerous! If anything were to happen, how could you escape from him?"

Jessica replied gloomily, "But back then... I didn't want to escape from him."

Amelia was choked by what she heard.

Jessica then said faintly, "When moths draw close to the flame, do you think they consider the consequences and danger of their action? I highly doubt it. It was the same for me. Frankly speaking, I was elated to know that he was still able to find me no matter where I was. This alone showed that he was willing to put in the minimum effort to find me."

What a fool!

Amelia regretted knowing how foolish Jessica was back then. As a result, she could not help but think of the guy at his worst. "So, what was his reason this time? Don't you tell me that he was there to tell you that his ex-girlfriend was pregnant with another man's baby?"

"Pfft!" Jessica burst out laughing. "No, he came to invite me into moving in with him."

At that, Amelia's eyes widened in shock. "Hold on! What did you just say? He wanted you to move in with him?"

Jessica nodded to confirm that Amelia did not mishear her. "He told me he was fed up being alone. Other than his ex-girlfriend, I was the only woman that he felt comfortable being with, which was why he invited me to move in with him."

There was an alarm blaring in Amelia's head, who almost knew what would happen next. "Don't you tell me that you agreed."

The corner of Jessica's lips curled upwards, but that smile did not reach her eyes. "That's right. I agreed. After all, I had lost all my hope in my family. Gramps was the only reason that I still returned to Northville. And when someone I liked put such tempting offer on the table, how on earth could I refuse it?"

Amelia interrupted exasperatedly, "But he had mistreated you before! He isn't worthy of your love!"
