Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1458

Amelia asked another question after she agreed to Patrick's request. "But, I don't think we need to hold a press conference to publicize our relationship. It sounds too formal and it makes me feel uncomfortable."

The reason why Amelia said so was that both herself and Apex Construction Corporation had been in constant trouble, needing to always face the malicious cameras and reporters. So, when she heard of the word 'press conference', she felt uncomfortable right away.

Patrick continued, "It's gramps's birthday in a few days. We can take advantage of his birthday to announce our reunion. In this way, even if someone wants to take advantage of our topic, they won't dare to cause trouble because of gramps's status. What do you think, Mrs. Hopper?"

It could be done this way?

Unexpectedly, her cloud of worries was dispersed by Patrick so Amelia naturally supported his idea. "In addition to the press conference, have you already thought of this method long ago?"

"Of course." Patrick's thin lips curled into a smile, not bothering to conceal any truth

from her.

"Then you must have put in a lot of effort." Amelia cast him a sidelong glance and smiled.

"Well, my purpose is to win the heart of the beauty." Patrick smiled along with her.

"By the way, just now..." Amelia hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why were you so merciless towards Sissi Roberts?"

He was not cold, nor was he indifferent. Instead, he was merciless. The expression that he wore was of disgust.

After Patrick saw Sissi, he had only cast her a glance and addressed her as 'Miss Roberts'. Other than that, nothing happened between them! None!

Patrick was quite calm the previous time they talked about Sissi, so Amelia could not figure why he was so merciless back at the villa. Even if it was to avoid contact with her, there was no need for him to do it so thoroughly. After all, Sawyer and Amelia knew about Patrick's history with Sissi. If he had ignored Sissi deliberately, he would give off the misconception that he was angry with Sissi.

As soon as he heard the name of 'Sissi Roberts', Patrick frowned. "I heard your conversation with Sissi." "Oh?" Amelia looked at him.

"Yes. Richard had put a micro listening device on your clothes, so..." Patrick hurriedly explained for fear that Amelia would misunderstand, "It's not to supervise you, but to ensure your safety!"

He had let go of Sissi completely.

Amelia nodded and replied, "I know about that. Then?"

"Then I found that I shouldn't have argued with you for that woman." Patrick's words were dripping with remorse and regret.

Sissi was looking forward to seeing these exact expressions on Patrick's face. But at this time, all of it was revealed to Amelia.

If Sissi were to witness this, she would probably be shaking with fury.

Amelia could not help looking at Patrick in surprise, and his words echoed in her mind, filling her up with sentiments.

He used to shield Sissi and he was unconditionally protective of her. But at this moment, he was determined to sever all ties with her.

Amelia had never dared fantasized about Patrick saying such resolute words about Sissi. Although there was no vulgarity in his words, it was as if he was saying Sissi 'did not deserve him'.

No matter how deep his affection for Sissi was back then, Sissi's multiple

Amelia smiled. "I won't." And that was because she was the person sitting next to him in the sky.

The next day, at Apex Construction Corporation.

In the morning meeting, Amelia was listening to the performance reports from the various departments. Suddenly, a group of people rushed in from outside the door and interrupted the voice of the reporting staff.

"What happened?" Audrey was the first to speak. Amelia looked around and saw it was Kaleb and the other directors barging in.

As soon as Amelia was about to announce that they were late, two more people appeared from behind them.

"Brittany?" Brittany alone had surprised Amelia enough, and Amelia did not expect the other person to show up here. Amelia was stunned.

She was not mistaken, was she?

Brittany was holding on to her grandfather, Derrick Simmons!

Unconsciously, Amelia stood up from her seat and walked toward Derrick's direction.

Many of the managers were taken by surprise as well. They had no idea what Kaleb and the others were doing. Why were they causing such a big fuss!

Amelia stood three feet away from Derrick and called out in a hoarse voice, "Grand... grandpa?"

Her impression of Derrick had faded ever since his biological mother, Petty, committed suicide. If it were not for his grandfather's photos left in the family photo album, Amelia, who had not seen Derrick in person for nearly twenty years, would not have been able to connect the grey-haired old man with her grandfather at first sight.
