Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 446

Amelia smiled and said, "You can just call me Amelia. Uncle, Merry Christmas!"

"Alright." Uncle Santiago said with a smiling face. He handed gift to Amelia and said, "May you and Patrick be together forever."

Amelia was overwhelmed with happiness, "Thank you, uncle!"

"Excuse me, sister..." Hayden looked at Amelia with his big bright eyes and asked with slight hesitation, "If you don't mind, can I ask how old are you?" "Amelia," Amelia said honestly, "25."

Hayden was dumbfounded. "Nice to meet you. You are 25? I thought you were still a college student!"

Amelia's lips pursed into a smile. "I'll take it as a compliment."

Hayden turned his eyes to Patrick's face and said half-jokingly, "Patrick, when I first saw her, I thought you are dating a college girl."

Patrick unconsciously raised his hand to touch his face. "Am I that old?" He thought to himself.

He could not help but glanced at the mirror nearby and found that Hayden's face was indeed fair and youthful. Standing beside his wife, they were really "matched"!

A few strands of annoyance appeared. He had never thought that one day, his age would become a problem.

Amelia said to Hayden, "You are still young. There are some things that you don't know. It's popular now that a much older man married with a younger woman, the older one will love his wife even more." Then, she turned and looked at Patrick. "Am I right, Mr. Hopper?"

Listening to her words, the depression in Patrick's eyes disappeared almost immediately. He nodded his head in agreement with her statement.

Just then, a sweet voice suddenly came from behind Patrick.

"Patrick..."

Amelia shivered with fear at the sudden call of Patrick's name.

Hayden's face changed. "Gosh, Sister Leah is here. Patrick, and Amelia, I... I'll leave now!"

"Huh?" Amelia was about to ask Hayden why he left, but only to see Hayden propping himself up on the sofa with one hand, jumped from the back of the chair and landed perfectly on the ground. He carried his skateboard and slid out from the living room,

making his father so angry that he was trembling.

Hayden was not the only one. As long as there were young men around, their faces showed the same as they had seen the end of the world. Amelia quickly asked Patrick, "What's wrong?" Patrick said, "You'll know later."

Amelia looked at the daughter of the Dollar Family. The woman looked about 1.7 meters tall. She had a plump figure, an oval face, and tender white skin. If she was in ancient times, she would be consider as a very beautiful woman.

Leah Dollar was indeed a beauty. It was just that she had the character of being an anthomaniac, and it was beyond anyone's praise.

In the process of walking to Patrick, Leah touched the faces of many of her cousin brothers, which made them stiff all over but unable to turn against her. They lined up to go to the toilet one by one eventually. The reason? Of course, the reason was to wash their faces!

It was not Leah's fault for being as such. After all, she had been instilled by the Dollar family into the concept of being Patrick's wife since childhood.

Who was Patrick? He was her cousin! Since she and her cousin could get married, why was she touching the faces of other cousins? This surely was to enhance the relationship between each other.

Seeing this, the corners of Amelia's mouth twitched. She finally figured out why Hayden ran away in a hurry. It turned out that he was afraid of being "spoiled" by Leah.

Leah finally came to her sweetheart after "greeting" others. He looked at Patrick shyly and said, "Patrick, I miss you so much since you are not around these years. I can't eat and sleep well. Am I thinner than before you went abroad?"

As she said that, Leah turned in a circle on the spot, and the blast of air created by her made it difficult for them to say the word "thin" against their intention.

Patrick glanced at her and said perfunctorily, "Yes, you lost some weight."

Leah blinked her big eyes and asked, "Patrick, do you think I look good if I'm a little fatter or thinner?"

Patrick gave a generous answer, "Both are good."

"Haha! Patrick, you're so sweet!"

Leah stomped his feet and was about to throw himself into Patrick's arms...

"Wait a minute!" A hand stretched out from the middle of them and stopped Leah from throwing herself into Patrick's arms.

Leah turned around and looked at Amelia's unfamiliar face, thinking that Amelia was just a relative who had not always showed up in their family gathering. So, she asked, "Who are you?"

Amelia could finally say it out loud in front of everyone, "I am Patrick's wife. You can call me Amelia."

Leah was stunned for a moment and soon showed a sad look, "My grandmother and my mom were talking about you, it's you who stole my Patrick away. Boo-hoo..."

She started crying as she speaked?

Amelia did not want others to say that she was bullying the weak. She quickly turned back and winked at Patrick!

There was a hint of helplessness in Patrick's eyes. He probably could not figure out the strange character of this Cousin Leah.

Leah's wailing soon attracted the eyes of two elders of the Dollar Family. Patrick's aunt asked distressedly, "My dear daughter, why are you crying?"

Leah cried, "Mom, Patrick is married, and the bride wasn't me!"

In a panic, Leah's mother hurriedly comforted her and said, "Marriage still possible for a divorce isn't it!

Baby, it's okay. You still have a chance!"

Patrick was speechless.

So was Amelia.

Under the strange gaze of Amelia and Patrick, Leah's mother realized that it was not appropriate to curse a divorce face-to-face. So, she hurried to show some respect and said, "I meant..."

In the end, it was still Amelia who could not bear to see it anymore. She said, "Leah, you and my husband are cousins. That means you both are blood related. No matter how much you admire him, you can't treat this kind of adoration as affection, or as love!"

Leah did not buy it and retorted, "Who says that? I love Patrick, can't I? I was determined to be his wife since childhood!"

Amelia's view of life was on the verge of shattering, "But... but you're cousins!"

Leah looked at her and said, "What's wrong with being cousins? Do you need me to show you some examples of close relatives married in ancient and even modern times? For example, Einstein married his cousin! And also Darwin..."

Amelia was completely confused after hearing Leah's examples. Moreover, the two elders of the Dollar Family kept complementing what Leah said, this made Amelia wanted to scream out loud out of stress! Seeing how Amelia was being put in such a difficult situation, Patrick coughed lightly and said, "It's almost time for dinner. Let's talk after dinner."

Upon hearing the word "dinner", Leah immediately withdrew her hatred from Amelia. Like a hound, she drifted away along the smell of food that came from the kitchen.
