Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 1651

When Amelia heard Alice mentioned Brittany, she shot Patrick an uneasy glance.

The next second, Patrick said calmly, "Well, considering Brittany's current state, she's unfit to attend the wedding."

Alice voiced sadly, "Yes, I've chased her out of the house since a while ago, but she hasn't even given me a call. She's such a heartless daughter, so why will I want her to come along?"

Amelia reckoned that Alice must have misunderstood as Patrick did not mean that. But forget it, Amelia did not have the courage to tell Alice the truth.

"Alas!" The sudden sadness overwhelmed Alice. "I've spoiled Brittany since she was a child, and I've been taking care of her wherever she goes. Now, she's fending for herself alone outside. I wonder how she's doing now."

Amelia glanced at Alice's concerned face and asked softly, "Alice, have you contacted her?"

Alice sobbed, "I don't dare to call her. I'm afraid that once I call her, I'll be softhearted and ask her to come back regardless of the previous immoral deeds she did. If she comes back like this, she won't remember her lesson."

"If that's the case, it's better to let her have a hard time outside and absorb her lesson," Patrick said.

Amelia was stunned by his straightforwardness. Meanwhile, Alice let out a wry smile and said, "That's true. But as parents, it's inevitable to feel bad for her."

Patrick's dark gaze then glanced over Alice. "What if she goes on another escapade without you knowing?"

Alice was shocked when she heard him. She asked, "Patrick, did Brittany cross you two again? What did she do this time? Tell me, I'll..."

Patrick responded quickly, "What will you do? Alice, you're an elder, so I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. But you have no idea what to do about your daughter."

"Ah... I..." Alice was taken aback and gawked at Patrick.

Patrick continued, "When she makes a mistake, you give her a lecture. But when she cries, your anger vanished. Next time when she makes a much more severe mistake, you ask her to reflect on it. But when she says something sweet to you, you forgive her again. The process happens in a cycle, and the most serious punishment you've given her is driving her out of her home.

Compared to the harm she did to Amy, your punishment is perfunctory to me.'

"

Tears dropped from the corners of Alice's eyes. Her heart was weighted down with shame. She thought she was strict with Brittany, but it turned out it meant nothing in Patrick's yes!

Alice had been so shameless to even say she felt sorry for Brittany in front of the couple. Alice then wondered what Amelia thought about her at the moment. Did Amelia think she was partial to Brittany? But Alice truly did not mean that!

Amelia watched as Alice cried, then quickly gave Patrick a look with her eyes to indicate for him to stop. What was going on with him? He had abused Alice's daughter almost to death, but he was telling Alice about her fault?

Gathering her thoughts, Amelia held Alice's hand and comforted her, "Aunt Alice, don't listen to him..."
