Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 470

Patrick used a fork to poke the floating noodle cube and he suddenly thought of something. Then he immediately covered the lid.

After completing this act, he frowned with annoyance. 'Hadn't I woken up yet? How could I make such a small mistake?"

Subconsciously, he took a look at Amelia. Finally, Patrick knew what was wrong. From the moment he came downstairs till now, Amelia did not even spare him a word or a glance.

What was going on? Where had the women that beg for him to stay on the mountain gone to?

Patrick could not stand this and blurted out, "Hey, Amelia, you..."

Amelia drank the soup clean and put the bowl of instant noodles down. She felt alive after finishing it.

Seeing this, the question that Patrick was about to ask immediately became deliberate ridicule. "It's just a cup of instant noodles. Is it necessary?"

Amelia took out a tissue from a tissue box and wiped her lips which was feeling oily. Then she crumbled the tissue and threw into the instant noodles bowl. After that she got up and she was going to throw the rubbish.

Seeing this, Patrick suppressed his anger and raise his head. "Amelia, couldn't you hear me talking to you?"

Amelia stood still, glanced at him and answered, "I heard you but I just didn't want to answer you."

"You!" Patrick sprang to his feet and stared straight into Amelia's eyes. "Have you forgotten who you belong to just because you've stayed with Ryan for one night?"

The two words "stayed with" shocked Amelia and she was caught off guard. She took a moment to calm down and asked with a blank expression, "Patrick, I have a question to ask you." Seeing that Patrick did not reply, Amelia understood that he had acquiesced. She asked, "How did you leave the mountain last night? Did you walk?"

Patrick was amused when he heard that, "Do you think I will do that to myself?"

Amelia threw out another possibility. "Then how? Did you meet a kind-hearted driver along the way?"

"Why do you ask so much?" Patrick at first just wanted to tease her for being a busybody. Then her stubborn eyes made him tell the truth, "I called Charles to fetch me at the mountain." Finally, she knew why she could not replace him at the gate. It turned out that he had already gone with Charles. Not to mention that she even bothered the police. Thinking about this, she felt that it was really... stupid!

Amelia's throat was dry, maybe it was because she had added too much flavoring to her food. She touched her throat and squeezed out a sentence, "I understand now..."

"What do you understand?" Patrick was dumbfounded by her answer.

Amelia's gaze fell on him. She was laughing at herself for being a busybody to made a phone call to the police, "It would be better if you could answer my calls." Thinking of the seven missed called, Patrick's face darkened. "I don't need to answer it. I know what you're going to do."

Amelia asked in a tone of consultation, "What did you think that I would do?"

"You just wanted me to go back, right?" Patrick insisted.

Except for this possibility, he could not think of a second one.

Thinking of Amelia's poor performance during the day when she climbed the mountain and the fact that she would rather stay in the tent provided by Ryan without his acknowledging. It could be seen from these two points that she wanted to have a rest as soon as possible instead of following him. When he thought of this, his intonation was more sarcastic, "You may receive Ryan's help. But that's your problem and please don't involve me in it." Ding-dong, ding-dong...

Patrick's face turned pale when he heard the doorbell. He then turned and went to open the door.

It was the housekeeper of the family who rang the doorbell. She was holding a variety of ingredients in her hands. When she saw Patrick, she quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Hopper, nice to meet you during the holiday seasons."

Patrick curled his lips, "Nice to see you again, I have to trouble you for these two days."

The woman said with a smile, "It's nothing! It's my pleasure to help you, Mr. Hopper."

Patrick's expression remained as he said. "Come in."

"Yes!" The housekeeper answered and closed the door gently. Then she carried a basket and walked inside.

When the housekeeper walked past the living room, she saw Amelia who was soulless standing over there. She felt weird but she still greeted her, "Good morning, Miss Amelia."

Amelia suddenly came to her senses. She raised the corner of her mouth and asked, "Auntie, aren't you on holiday?"

The housekeeper came over and said softly, "Weren't there a guest at home yesterday? Mr. Hopper told me that you two had something to do and couldn't come back, so he asked me to come and temporarily take care of the guest. What's more, Mr. Hopper told me that no one was cooking breakfast, so I came over. Please don't take it to heart, if I disturbed your honeymoon with Mr. Hopper"

The teasing from the housekeeper made Amelia felt helpless. She had lots of things to vent but she could not tell to the housekeeper. She laughed, "Don't overthink it. I just simply ask."

"Then I proceed to the kitchen first. I bought lots of scallops from the market. It would be nice to use them to cook some pasta!" The housekeeper replied.

Amelia just nodded her head, "Alright, then I'll be going to rest upstairs."

The housekeeper asked in surprise, "Hey, Miss Amelia, don't you want to have some first? I remember that you love scallops."

Amelia laughed, "I just had some instant noodles. I don't want to eat anymore, I'll grow fat."

The maid shook her head, "No, Miss Amelia. Instant noodles is not nutritious and has high calories. You will gain more weight from having it."

"Really?" Amelia said perfunctorily, "Then I'll be careful next time. I'll go to bed first."

"Oh, alright." Seeing that she could not keep Amelia, the housekeeper could only sigh and turn around to enter the kitchen.

In the bedroom

Amelia lied in the hot bath tub. The hot water was like a warm hug wrapping her tightly. It made her feel drowsy.

An imaginary voice was whispering to her.

It was not until when the water was about to go over her head that Amelia suddenly woke up. She grabbed the edge of the bathtub with her hands and propped herself up, taking in large mouthfuls of fresh air. Right at this moment, the water under her body was still hot because the bathtub had a constant temperature system. If she had not been submerged by the water, she might have been able to sleep in it.

Just as Amelia was asleep, the ringing of the phone could be heard from the pocket of the jacket that she had casually placed on the door. However, due to the fact that she was asleep and the jacket was at the other side of the door, the ringing eventually dimmed as the phone ran out of battery.

Downstairs.

Patrick, who was eating pasta, suddenly heard the doorbell ringing in his house. As soon as he lifted his eyelids, the housekeeper said, "Mr. Hopper, I'll open the door."
