Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1281

Under Amelia's heavy gaze, Kaiden continued, "Do you still remember that some time ago when the media reported about the sex scandal between you, my cousin, Abner, and a woman surnamed 'R'? Have you ever wondered about the authenticity of this report?"

Before Amelia could say anything else, Kaiden interrupted, "To tell you the truth, everything in the newspaper is true! My cousin was the one who fought with Patrick for her affection, and both suffered tremendously!"

"She wasn't only Patrick's high school teacher, but also his first love. When they broke up in the end, Patrick was unable to recover from his heartbreak for a long period of time! Do you think he is able to forget about her now? "

After Amelia quietly listened till he finished speaking, and to Kaiden's surprise, she did not display the sudden realization or remorse that he envisioned. He looked at her with extreme perplexity. For a moment, he even felt that Amelia had became deaf or her head was damaged. Otherwise, how could she say nothing about this but be this indifferent to him?

At this moment, a warm and refreshing smile appeared on Amelia's face. "Kaiden, thank you for telling me this. Did you know? From the first time when I met Patrick till now, you are the only one who was willing to tell me the truth." Even if it was already too late...

Kaiden was a little stunned. It seemed like this was the first time Amelia ever spoke so gently to him.

"Thank you..." Amelia repeated again, but this time she felt a little helpless. "Since you're being so honest, I might as well tell you something that I know too. In fact... not only do I know that Patrick loves another woman, but I also know who that woman with the surname 'R' is. I also knew that she returned to Northville earlier on and was staying with Patrick, including the apartment that he bought for her. I already knew everything."

Amelia had said, Kaiden's eyes widened considerably as he heard what Amelia had said. He felt as if his heart was being violently torn apart to pieces. Even if he kept breathing in, he could not stop the shock and heartache that was pouring in at the same time. Kaiden even forgot that he once helped his cousin inquire about Sissi's whereabouts. He just said, "You knew? If you knew... then how could you..."

"You think I'm cheap, don't you?" Amelia asked calmly.

Without any reply, Kaiden's thin lips trembled. God knew that he was so worried about her, how could he ever think that she was cheap!

"Kaiden, did you know? There are people who are not willing to go great lengths for love. And here I thought that as long as I was able to take a leap of faith to break the wall between us, Patrick would eventually look back at me. Unfortunately, it was reality that gave me a loud slap, and eventually I gave up."

The last few words made Amelia's eyes redden in sorrow. She had spent a lot of effort to maintain her marriage with Patrick, protect, and to improve it, but still everything ended in failure. All she did thus far was to lie to herself.

"Now that you know the reality, why do you bother wasting time on Patrick?" Kaiden pulled over her shoulder distressedly and asked in a tense and low voice, "When will you ever turn to me?"

Amelia only moved the corners of her mouth and shot back hurtfully, "Kaiden, don't try to persuade me anymore. I have always treated you as someone I know. That's all there is between us."

The wing of Kaiden's nose expanded slightly, and his face that was more delicate than a woman's seemed to have been splashed with ink as he looked at Amelia darkly. "Someone you know? So

we're not even friends now?"

Amelia looked at him and said lightly, "You approached me on purpose and unexpectedly cost me and Patrick our marriage. Do you think that I can put away my grudges against you and treat you as a friend in such a short period of time? In fact, even calming myself and talking to your now requires me to restrain all my hatred."

Kaiden's heart gradually sank. He thought that as long as he shamelessly and performed hard-workingly well in the company, he would be able to obtain her forgiveness sooner or later. These days, seeing that he had sent her to the hospital to and fro, Amelia's attitude toward him had also improved significantly and he thought that his efforts had finally been paid off. Who would have thought that Amelia was merely holding back her disgust towards him all this while.

Amelia mumbled for a long time, and only then did she answer, "Kaiden, your way of thinking makes me feel extremely moved, but still I cannot agree with you." "Why?" Kaiden's face fell, displaying a face full of helplessness and being wronged.

Why did not he understand?

If he moved into her office to work together, not only would they attract criticism, but if things get out of hand, it would be more difficult for her to refuse him in the future!

"No specific reason! I have the final say in this company."

Kaiden threatened cautiously, "If you can't give me a proper reason, then I will reach out to Fred for an application. For the Eastern District project to be as perfect as possible, I believe that he will agree to let me work with you."

Amelia was anxious as she heard Kaiden. "I forbid you to go to Fred for this!"

Kaiden's face was full of insistence. "If you don't want me to find the general manager of the Eastern District project, then give a reason good enough to convince me."

Amelia knitted her brows before retorting unpleasantly, "Because the office is mine now, and I don't intend to let someone else in and occupy the space and my resources. Besides, we have always had a division of labor in this company. You are

responsible for all the designing and have your own separate floor and office for this. If you come to my office, what should I do with the resources that I provided you before? Do you want me to throw them away?"
