Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 1535

"Milton, I'm talking to you! Did you hear me?!"

Bottling up his irritation, Milton replied to Sierra on the other end of the call, "I've heard you, mom!"

It was only then Sierra was satisfied. "That's my boy!"

"Ugh!"

Just as Milton was fighting back the urge to roll his eyes, in the next second Sierra began asking, "So when you do want to marry Maryanne?"

Milton finally lost his temper at this moment. Rolling his eyes, he grunted, "Mom, why are you back to square one again?"

Sierra did not bother to disguise her intention. "I can't wait to have my first grandchild!"

Milton mumbled, "Um... We shall see."

Sierra could not help getting tensed. "My dear son, don't you think of abandoning Maryanne!"

Milton thought, "I'm sorry, mom. I have no other choice but to disappoint you on this. You spoke my mind. I'm just waiting for the time when Maryanne can no longer live without me so that I can finally abandon her. I want nothing but to avenge for Amelia."

Not receiving any responses, Sierra spoke again, "My dear, are you still there?"

Milton replied perfunctorily, "Yeah, I'm listening, mom, is there anything else you want to tell me? Otherwise, I have to finish off my proposal."

"Well..." Sierra nagged for another moment before ending the call with a heavy heart.

After putting down the phone, Milton lost track of time as he stared at the cup of coffee on the table absent-mindedly. The strong and thick aroma of it was tempting him to finish the cup. However, he was no longer in a mood for the coffee.

"It smells good. You made coffee?" All in a sudden, there came a voice from his back idly.

Milton turned around just to realize that Maryanne had already stopped right behind him without making any noise. He was taken aback by what she was wearing. Without hesitation, he hurriedly looked away.

Even so, the brief glance he had on Maryanne was enough to make an impression.

Maryanne could be seen wearing an oversized white shirt. Both sleeves were rolled up exposing her fair arms. The shirt was buttoned up in a disorderly manner. That was why one side of the shirt fell off her shoulder thereby flashing her delicate collarbone. The shirt was clearly not her size as the length was long enough to cover her hips. As a result, it was hard for one not to get drawn by her pair of slender legs underneath the shirt.

As for why he had not noticed her approaching, that was because she had been barefoot.

As for why she sounded idly, that was because she probably just woke up. Besides, she went for a hairdo a couple of days back. Not only did she dye her silky black hair into warm ash, but she had also permed her hair. Consequently, she looked more mature and attractive than ever in her new hairstyle.

Sinking in his own thought, Milton could not help feeling wronged by Sierra. After all, he paid so much attention to her details to the extent that he could even tell the color of nail polish Maryanne had on her toes.

To be honest, as compared to the gold nail polish she was having on her toes at this moment, he preferred her to have purple in color instead. Purple looked great on her especially when she had such a fair skin complexion.

"Hold on... What the hell am I paying so much attention on this girlish stuff?!"

Milton scratched his head in frustration at the thought of this. He cleared his throat before saying, "Um I made coffee. There are some more in the kitchen. You can go get a cup for yourself if you want."
