Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) -
Chapter 462
On the other hand, Ryan secretly glanced at Patrick and asked Amelia in a low voice, "Amelia, he probably didn't know that you called me to remind me of that incident?"
Amelia definitely knew what that incident was. She blinked her eyes helplessly, "He already knows."
"What?" Ryan raised his voice and scanned Amelia's body to check if she was missing an arm or a leg.
"Then did he..."
"No." Amelia shook her head. Amelia still felt afraid when she thought of the incident.
If Patrick had gone deep into the matter at that time, she would have been fired as a "traitor" by the company.
"That's good." Ryan heaved a sigh of relief.
Amelia realized that they had already been chatting for a while. However, she noticed there was no one waiting for Ryan nearby. She could not help but ask, "By the way, Mr. Quartley, did you climb the mountain alone?"
Ryan said with a smile, "I came here with those young people from the wine factory. They are probably still eating in the restaurant now. I'm old and don't have a very good appetite. So I came out for a walk after eating a little and took some photos too."
Ryan was like an old child who was eager to share some of his fun with others. He held Amelia's hand, "Would you like to have a look at the photos I've taken?"
Amelia saw that Ryan was so enthusiastic but she was also afraid to make Patrick unhappy, but when she was about to turn and ask for Patrick s opinion, she saw him holding his phone and talking to someone. He did not have time to look at her.
She looked and smiled at Ryan. Then she said, "Okay."
On the other hand, Patrick was talking with his cousin, Hayden on the phone. Hayden said proudly, "Patrick, let me tell you something. You thought that I was boarding a plane back to A City? Guess what happened to me?"
Patrick asked absent-mindedly, "Did you jump out of the aeroplane?"
Hayden smiled, "Well, it's not as difficult as jumping out of an aeroplane, I just didn't board the flight!"
Patrick's calm face suddenly became serious. He asked in a deep voice, "Hayden, what did you say? Say it again!"
Hayden muttered, "I didn't board the flight because I wanted to take part in the competition. This should be an understandable situation. Besides that... I have the courage to pursue my own dream! My father couldn't understand it because he's narrowminded. Can't a fellow young guy like you relate with me?"
Patrick frowned, "Where are you now?"
"I... I have hailed a taxi from the airport and come back to the city center!" Hayden said.
Patrick relaxed a little, "It's fine that you're back. Why did you call me? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell your father?"
Hayden hurriedly said, "Please don't! If my dad catches me, I'll really have to jump out of a plane!"
Patrick said bluntly, It's not that I don't support you chasing your dreams. It's just that I can't bear the responsibility of you getting injured. Do you understand?"
Hayden went all out and said, "I don't need you to take any responsibility. As long as both of us keep it a secret, who would know if I have contacted you?"
I'm calling because I hope that when my dad contacts you later and asks to use your connections to search me in Northville, you can replace an excuse to give him. When I finish my two matches in the next few days, I will leave immediately without giving you any trouble."
Patrick's temple tightened. "You're causing me trouble right now."
Hayden hurriedly asked, "From your intonation, I guess you don't mind me staying in Northville?"
Patrick retorted with a question, "What else can I do?"
"I knew you were on my side! Great..."
Patrick took the phone away in time before Hayden's laughter hurt his ears.
The next second, he heard Hayden's request from the phone, "Patrick, I have another request."
Patrick warned, "Don't push it!"
Hayden promised that it would just be a small matter.
Patrick said gruffly, "Go ahead."
Hayden stumbled, "Well, it's like this. I was in a hurry when I escaped from boarding the flight. All of my luggage was on the plane. I only have half of the one hundred dollars left after hailing a taxi from the airport. The living expense in Northville is so expensive and I have to cover my tracks. Patrick, what do you think I should do?"
A hint of amusement flashed in Patrick's deep eyes. "You know so many tricks. Don't you know what to
do?"
Hayden forced a smile, "You know me very well. I want to..."
Patrick interrupted, "You don't even think about it!"
"Patrick! I haven't said anything yet!" Hayden was surprised.
Patrick said, "You want to stay in my house, don't you?"
Hayden talked slowly, "Patrick, Northville City is ruthless but Northville people like you have affection. If you don't accommodate me, a penniless person like me will starve to death on the streets." Patrick became silent for a moment when he heard this and thought to himself, "He has already decided to set up a tent with Amelia in Mount Logan and catch tomorrow's sunrise. This means that there will be no one at Land of Fragrance tonight. Why not let Hayden stay for just one night? Just think of it as hiring a security guard."
When Patrick was indecisive, he said to Hayden, "Use the rest of the money in your pocket to hail a cab to take you to the Land of Fragrance. You can stay there tonight."
Hayden said happily, "Okay." After that, he did not dare to waste Patrick's precious time anymore. He hung up the phone after saying goodbye.
Patrick phoned the nanny who was cleaning the Land of Fragrance and ordered her to do a few things, "There will be a guest coming home later. However, Amelia and I will be away. Can you go to the Land of Fragrance to open the door for the guest?"
The nanny said that she had nothing to do after Christmas, so she was glad to help him. She asked, "May I ask... what's the name of the guest?"
Patrick answered vaguely, "He is a distant relative of mine. His surname is Hopper. Just open the door and let him in. He can go anywhere else as long as he doesn't go into the study room. Also, arrange a room for him. Finally, if someone asks you about this person, you must remember not to tell them anything."
The nanny understood, "I promise that I will not say anything, no matter who asked me!"
Patrick felt relieved and hung up the phone.
Although this nanny was hired by his mother to help out at home, she had never heard any news of Amelia and him from his mother in the past few months. Presumably, the nanny had devoted herself to him and Amelia.
After making the two phone calls, more than ten minutes had passed. Patrick looked behind him and saw that Ryan was still tapping on the camera button with his fingers. Amelia who was beside him had a faint smile on her face. Sometimes she would say, "Our country's scenery is really great."
Meanwhile in Patrick's opinion, Ryan was just a shameless old rascal!
