Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1124

It was a disaster that could not be avoided.

Divorce was such a big deal that could not be hidden from her elders at all.

★

At the Ramsay Mansion.

Amelia stood in front of Alice like a lost dog and said, "Aunt Alice, I am back."

Alice did not say anything unpleasant, nor did she try to persuade her not to divorce. She only said, "Amelia, I've heard about your happenings, you've had a hard time... Don't stay in the hotel anymore. Move back here."

Amelia sobbed and rubbed her eyes, and all her grievances was let out at this moment.

She subconsciously rushed forward to hug Alice on her waist, and her tears fell like raindrops. "Aunt Alice, I made a big mistake..."

Alice gently patted Amelia's back that moved up and down from crying. She felt sorry for her, "Just cry if you want to."

After a long while, Amelia raised her head up from Alice's arms and stared at her chest. She said intermittently, "Aunt Alice, I... I've stained your dress..."

Alice patted her pitiful sobbing face and said, "It's okay. I don't mind. But you, are you feeling better?"

Amelia nodded, but soon shook her head again. If crying could make her feel better, would she still have so many worries?

Alice wiped her face while she said softly, "You just said that you've made a big mistake, but I still don't know the details yet. Would you like to tell me?"

Hearing this, Amelia was going to shed tears again, but she held it back. "I... I've collaborated with The Hopper Family's biggest enemy for the Eastern District project!"

Alice was confused, "Why don't you collaborate with Patrick?"

"Because I'm afraid... At that time, Patrick's first love, Sissi had already returned, and he had secretly looked after her... I'm afraid that my marriage with him will collapse at any time... If that's the case, the collaboration between our families will not only become a joke in the whole city, but The Ramsay Family, that is at a disadvantage, will also be very likely to be controlled by The Hopper Family..." Amelia said quite incoherently.

After listening to her carefully, Alice asked, "Since Patrick is not a good partner to collaborate with,

why did you find his biggest enemy? Could it be that... you are angry with him because of Sissi?" "At first, I didn't know that the person I asked for help was Patrick's enemy. When I got to know about it later, I'm already at the point that there's no turning back."

"Ever since you've known that the person you asked for help was his enemy, did you be frank with Patrick?"

Amelia shook her head and said, "I thought it was just a competition of interests between them. Considering their financial and material capabilities, it meant nothing to them regardless of how big a fuss was made. So I selfishly planned to only tell Patrick about it by the time the government gave funds to the Apex Construction Corporation ..."

Alice sighed and comforted her. "The blame is not on you either. You're a member of the Apex Construction Corporation. It's understandable for you to act in the company's interests."

"No! The blame is indeed on me!" Amelia's head got lower and lower. "I was so eager for success and wanted the Apex Construction Corporation to turn the tables soon. In the end, my brain was blur and I fell into the trap of others!"

"Everyone of us makes mistakes. Amelia, you are still young, and you still have a long way to go. The losses you face now could be taken as experience accumulated to pave the way for the future."

In the future...

The word 'future' was too heavy for her.

*

On the fourth day...

On the fifth day...

The divorce agreement sent to Patrick was sent back in pieces without exception.

During this period, from the eldest, Gramps to the kids, Andrew and Ashley, they have all called her. But in the end, she replied with the same excuse," I'm busy".

She had forced herself to become a cruel person.

However, when she was alone late at night, all the memories about The Hopper Family would slowly flow through her mind like a river.

The moment she recalled those happy and harmonious scenes, she would feel continuous pain in her head and she could hardly sleep for the whole night.

*

It was Saturday in the blink of an eye.

It was finally an off day, but Amelia did not allow herself to have time to rest.

Amelia, who had just returned from buying lunch, happened to pass by the spot where Patrick had just stopped.

Despite knowing that she should not, she still secretly glanced at the glass window on the door of the ward.

Patrick was nowhere to be seen. There was only an old man left in the ward.

"Grandpa?!" Amelia muttered.

Was it a lie?

Had Patrick not already confirmed that Gramps's heart attack was a lie to her?

It must be a lie!

Amelia forced herself to be cold-hearted. The moment she turned around, she suddenly bumped into someone.

She wobbled with the lunch box in her hand.

After she stood still, her pupils dilated slightly, she was like a thief that got caught, "Pat, Patrick...!"

Patrick was extremely cold, "Get out of my way."

After Amelia was aware that she was blocking the front of the door, she quickly turned her body sideways.

Seeing that Patrick was about to open the door, she could not help asking, "Wait a minute! What's wrong with gramps?"

Patrick, who had his back to her, asked coldly, "Who's your gramps?"

Amelia was stunned for a moment and suddenly lost the courage to continue asking.

Hearing the slight movement of her turning around and leaving, Patrick clenched his fist on the door handle.

He lowered his head to have a look at his two fingers wrapped in bandages and thought, was such a woman worthy?
