Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1290

Amelia's words hit Patrick over the head, and he turned back into the gloomy man.

"Is there any relevance between me having a new date, and you going back on your promise with grandpa to have dinner with me? Do you think I will pursue you again after you have a meal with me? Aren't you a bit too confident?"

Amelia felt embarrassed and said awkwardly as he heard the words of Patrick, "I, I didn't mean that."

"Then what are you afraid of?" Patrick squinted at her.

"I'm just worried that if Ms. Kayla found out, she'll overthink it," Amelia said. She did not want to become someone like Sissi.

Patrick's eyes darkened. "I'll call her and ask her for instructions now. What do you think?"

Amelia's eyes widened. She did not expect Patrick to raise his phone in the next second. She could not help asking, "Do you have to do this?"

In order to have a meal with her, he troubled Gramps and asked for instructions from Kayla. She would really think that he still had feelings for her!

Patrick glanced at her and said in a thoughtful

tone, "It's not that I want to do this, but you're the one who is being cautious. Aren't you worried that Kayla will misunderstand that we'll rekindle? Then I will explain to her that I invited you to have dinner because of the matter concerning Mr. Quade. She should understand."

As Patrick emphasized the word "Mr. Quade," he saw the wavering in Amelia's eyes as he wished.

Amelia sighed. "Well, you call Ms. Kayla and inform her."

"Okay." Patrick could not hold back his smile as he nodded. As he talked to Kayla, he fixed his eyes on Amelia, unwilling to miss any trace of expression on her face.

Under his gaze, Amelia felt a bit of awkwardness, so she stood in front of him with her back towards Patrick.

At that moment, Patrick's face darkened. After saying goodbye to Kayla, he raised his hand and tried to pull Amelia's hand.

Unexpectedly, she sheered her hands off as soon as his rough fingertips touched her smooth back of the hand.

"We've kissed. What's wrong with my hand touching yours?" "Don't say it as if I was willing to. It's you who forced a kiss on me!"

Amelia said without giving in.

He just talked to Kayla on the phone, which made her feel uncomfortable!

Although her reasoning reminded her to be calm when her ex-husband had a new date, she still could not accept it emotionally!

That was why she avoided his touch without thinking.

She imagined that in the office, when these hands took the documents from Kayla and touched her intentionally or otherwise, Amelia could not help but thought to clean them thoroughly!

Patrick's thick eyebrows became furrowed again. He deliberately said, "Fine, I forced a kiss on you. You didn't enjoy it at all, and you're not panting. You didn't go weak at the knees or hold my clothes. Okay?"

Amelia wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it. "Stop talking, or I won't go to dinner with you!"

"It's easy for me to shut up. Give me your hand." Patrick ordered as he handed his palm to Amelia.

Amelia noticed that there was no one around, so she reluctantly handed her hand over.

His fingers closed together and wrapped around her hand like an umbrella, making her felt both

warm and safe.

Amelia originally wanted to ask if Gramps would be angry if he gave such a nickname to Gramps. But, when she remembered that their relationship was irreconcilable, she was too lazy to remind him.

"Read it." In fact, Patrick was uneager to know what the text message was. He just wanted to hear Amelia's voice.

Amelia clicked on the text message and said with surprise, "Grandpa asked... Did you take me to dinner? He also said that he wanted you to take a photo of us and send it to him." "Busybody!" Patrick pretended to be fretful, but inside, he was happy. The old man had finally come in handy apart from pretending to be ill.

Amelia said with confusion after reading the text message, "I don't know what grandpa is thinking. He's a big shot who has been through all kinds of things. Why is he interested in these trivial things now?"

Patrick laughed in his heart and said seriously, "He must be bored of staying in the hospital, so he regards us juniors as his pastime."

Amelia sighed. "If the hospital is too boring, Grandpa can be discharged from the hospital. He is not ill."

"I don't care if he's sick or not. If he wants to stay in the hospital, just let him be." The Hopper Family has plenty of money anyway.

Amelia looked at him strangely. "Aren't you going to persuade him?"

"Persuade?" Patrick was not a fool. Persuading Gramps to be discharged from the hospital would not benefit him.

"Well, it's not a good idea to pretend to be sick all the time, is it?" "Me? Forget it! You know my relationship with him.

Owen should be the one to persuade him." "It's because I know your relationship with grandpa that I find it strange. Can you stand to be within call by grandpa? Just like today?"

Patrick did not respond.

Truth be told, Patrick had always been at odds with Gramps. But recently, he accepted the 'illness' of Gramps, and the blind date with Kayla was because he felt that it would be helpful to ignite the sparks between him and Amelia, so he let it go and even felt Gramps be a sight for sore eyes.
