Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 384

"The honor of the family is to force me to call a woman who has nothing to do with us stepmother? Owen, Nora, Florence, do you want to do that?"

Florence pursed her lips and shook her head. "No!"

Owen and Nora were also resistant to the suggestion, "Grandma, do you have any other idea?" Granny Hopper pressed her lips together and looked at Amelia. "Amelia, what do you think?" "Me?" Amelia said sincerely, "I have no objection as long as Howard is happy..."

What she meant was that whatever Howard decided to do-he could come back to Eve after everything was settled, or divorce Eve because he had feelings for Jocelyn-as long as he was happy, Amelia had no objection.

Amelia was not a saint. She was unable to sympathize with Eve because she was her mother-in-law. If Eve had been reasonable, Amelia would definitely stand on her side now.

It was a pity that Eve had never treated Amelia as her family from the beginning, or had never treated her as a human being!

Granny Hopper's first smile today finally appeared on her worried face. She believed that Amelia was at the same level as her, unlike Patrick and others.

Their focus was so limited without caring about the honor of the whole family!

"Okay. So Amelia'll call Howard and explain to him what I mean. Well, I'm tired. I'm going back to my room to have a rest. If you are busy with your work, you can leave now."

After that, Granny Hopper waved her hand and went upstairs, regardless of others, even though they seemed to have something else to say but had no idea where to start.

"Patrick, Amelia, I'll go back to my office and ask my previous colleagues to locate Dad." After a pause, Owen turned to his wife and said, "It's time for you to leave, too. It's almost the end of class for Andrew and Ashley."

"Okay, don't worry. Just go back to your office. I'll pick up the children." Nora said warmly.

After Owen and Nora left, Patrick cast a gloomy glance at Amelia, who was looking down. "Silly girl. What's she thinking? She doesn't even notice my gaze from such a short distance," thought Patrick. Holding a pillow, Florence reminded Amelia. "Amelia, Patrick seems to have something to say to you."

"Hmm?" Amelia replied without a second thought, "I have nothing to say to him..." They were in different positions, and neither of them would compromise with each other. They could never reach any agreement even if they talked about it all night.

Her answer was so bold!

With his face darkening, Patrick rose and strode to Amelia before he ordered condescendingly, "We'll talk!" Amelia's suspicion came from the bottom of her heart. "You're not closing the door and hitting me, are you?" She didn't want to lie on the same bed with Patrick tonight. If possible, she wanted to hide in Florence's room. "Do I look like I had hit a woman?" Although he did want to teach her a lesson now.

"But..." He looked horrifying and didn't seem to be able to reason with her.

Patrick bent down and whispered into her ear, "I'll talk to you about Dad and Jessica alone. If you don't come, I'll carry on with the original plan."

"You win!" Amelia gritted her teeth. She knew that it was a trap, but for the sake of the people she cared about, she could only jump into it!

On the second floor.

As soon as the door was closed, Amelia was pushed to the wall by Patrick. He planted his hands on the wall and lowered his handsome face before sneering at her. "You impressed me, Amelia. How dare you agree my father marrying another woman in front of the whole family!"

Under his pressure, Amelia's breathing became labored. "Er..."

Patrick asked, his eyes cold, "So do you think I can marry whoever I like? Anyway, you accepted this kind of proposal."

"You can't!" Anger emerged from her delicate face as she blurted out.

Patrick punched the wall near Amelia's ear and growled, "Since you know I can't do it, why did you agree with Grandma's suggestion? She didn't think clearly. And you don't have a brain, either?" "That's not what I meant!" Afraid of being hurt by the angry man, Amelia raised her shoulders like a cat. "What I said to Grandma was that I had no

objection as long as Howard was happy. If Howard and Eve get along well, they could be together. Otherwise, they are bound to break up. If Howard's happiness is determined by Eve, I would ask him to come back. But if it depends on Jocelyn, I would suggest he divorce Eve. This would be a relief for everyone."

Patrick narrowed his eyes and asked, "You're not speaking up for him because you accept something valuable from him, are you?"

Amelia curled her lips, "No. These are all my true feelings."

"Really? Then what is this?" He suddenly drew out from her coat. After seeing the word "will", Patrick laughed sarcastically. "I knew it. No wonder you care about Dad's 'happiness' so much. It turns out that's because of this thing."

Amelia tightened her hands at her side. "What do you mean?"

Patrick said slowly, "You can be bought off by just one billion. I didn't know your true feelings are so cheap. Well, how about I give you two billion, and you call Howard and insult him now?"

Amelia's eyes turned red. "You b*stard, do you think I'm the kind of woman who is greedy for money? Let me tell you, I would never turn to your side even if you gave me twenty billion, not to mention two billion!"

Patrick grabbed the contract with two fingers and almost wanted to tear it. She had taken the money from Howard, the heartbreaker. Didn't she feel ashamed of being aggrieved now?

"Amelia, you're so good at pretending to be an upright woman! If I hadn't seen this one billion with my own eyes, I might have been deceived by you forever!" "You-" Amelia argued, "Howard gave me the money voluntarily. When he gave it to me, he didn't ask me to help him. He even suggested that I shouldn't get involved in this. But you ruined his kindness. Patrick, don't you think you're letting the man who has brought you up down?"

Patrick sneered. "If you're not mercenary, why did you accept Dad's money? And you did it at such a time! He's on his own now, but he knows Grandma likes you. So he bought you off by one billion. Oh, I see. Maybe he and you have agreed on misleading Grandma into that proposal she just made in the living room!"

Amelia could not bear it any longer. "Patrick, if people had to take responsibility for their words, you would have been sentenced to life imprisonment long ago!"

Furious, she wanted to push him away, only to replace herself held back by the overbearing man.

He pressed his rock-hard chest on her soft one as if he was trying to squeeze all the air out of her!
