Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1554

"To her, I've never been her family." Amelia smiled bitterly. "But, I didn't expect that she hated me so much that she wanted to kill me."

Nora frowned and chimed in, "I've always thought that even though mom was unreasonable sometimes, she knew what she was doing. But now, it seems like I was wrong. She's becoming more and more terrifying."

Patrick did not retort because he had no objections to Nora's statement. "Nora, are you still going to tell Owen about this?"

"I..." Nora stuttered. She did not know that Eve was the one who hurt Patrick.

In this case, if she told Owen the truth, it was inevitable that she would be suspected of trying to deteriorate Eve and Owen's relationship. But if she kept quiet, Patrick, Amelia, and their unborn child would not have justice!

Seeing Nora's hesitation, Patrick spoke his thoughts, "If possible, I hope you can keep it a secret for me. As for the scar on my forehead, I'll find a time to deal with it. Just pretend this has never happened." "But..." Nora could not help but feeling injustice for

Amelia.

Patrick added, "Nora, Florence has promised to keep it a secret for me, and you're far more foresighted than her. I'm sure you'll agree to this, right?"

Nora was stunned for a second. "You're saying that Florence also knows about this?"

Patrick nodded slightly.

Nora was mad in a second. "Great! You two are deliberately hiding this from me! Do you even treat me as your sister-in-law?"

Patrick replied lightly, "Nora, it was by accident that Florence found out about it. I didn't mean to tell her."

Nora stared at him in silence for a long while, then suddenly let out a sigh of relief, "Knowing who's the culprit but not being able to say it feels horrible!"

Patrick understood her feelings. "Thank you, Nora, for promising to keep it a secret."

Nora replied in a sour mood, "The news turned my world upside down today. It's still a question whether I can keep calm when I meet mom again next time."

Patrick chuckled. "You will. You're willful."

Nora thought to herself then, "Can I take back what I just said?"

"Mr. Hopper." After Nora left, Amelia suddenly stepped forward and said, "Kaito's wife just called me and asked if you have plans to buy their farm. If not, they'll find another way out."

Patrick let out a cold chuckle and said, "They're trying to chase us out of the farm because I haven't said anything about the deal?"

Amelia replied, "You can't say that. After all, we've been eating and drinking their supplies all this while. They're already in a sticky situation, so it's normal forthem to get anxious."

Patrick raised his hand and brushed her nose. "Amy, I didn't say I wouldn't give them the compensation. Why are you helping them?"

Amelia answered frankly, "I'm just telling the truth."

Patrick gave her a helpless smile and replied, "Don't worry. I won't treat them unfairly even if I don't plan to buy their farm."

After Amelia nodded, she recalled something and asked, "Speaking of which, haven't you been inspecting other places these days? Well, have you found any better places?"

Amelia rooted her. "Nora! Neither of us knows how to shoot. If we go along, well only distract Patrick. Our current priority is to find helpers!"

After the reminder, Nora got her priority straight and agreed, "Yes... yes! Let's go find Kaito!"

On the other side, to make full use of the time, Patrick drove a carriage from the farm and came to the spot of the incident under Hinata's lead.

"Uncle Hopper, my brother and Andrew are at the front!" Hinata called out and was about to jump off the carriage.

Patrick stopped her and instructed with a cold expression, "Stay here and don't move."

Hinata was stunned by his terrifying temperament. When Hinata snapped back from her daze, Patrick had already retrieved his rifle and got off the carriage.

At this moment, Akira and Andrew were keeping Ashley in the centre, all surrounded by four wolves.

The reason why the wolves did not pounce on the preys in their trap was that they were afraid of the rifle Akira was holding in front of his chest.

Because that rifle had taken the lives of two of their companions.

"Huhu... Andrew, Akira, we don't have any bullets left anymore. Are we going to die?"

Ashley was caught in the middle of Akira and Andrew, so she was the safest. However, she wailed the hardest.
