Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1566

"Okay." Although he had no appetite, Patrick still ate all the food she picked for him.

After lunch, Amelia gently held the hand of Patrick, who was preparing to clean up the table. She said considerately, "Let me do the cleaning today. You can have a rest."

"Never mind." Patrick insisted on collecting the plate, but Amelia pulled his hand away more forcefully and said, "Just do as I say, or you are not allowed to touch me tonight."

Amelia did not dare to look into his eyes at all as she was saying such words. Instead, she lowered her head and acted to be cleaning the table.

Patrick was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he had already embraced Amelia in his arms.

Amelia did not push him away. Instead, she comforted him with her warmth and heartbeat.

After a long time, Patrick said with some annoyance, "Amy, no one can ever separate us from each other."

Amelia knew why he was so upset, so she patted him on the back and agreed, "That's right, no one could do so."

Patrick uttered word by word as if he were making a vow, or reminding himself, "I will protect you no matter what."

Amelia smiled. "Okay, I'll take the promise."

Thinking of the ambush in the dark, Patrick could not wait to declare, "I really want to build you an iron house and hide you in it so that you won't be attacked by the outside world."

Amelia could not help laughing and said, "Are you trying to imprison me? I don't think that's a good idea. I'm a grown-up and I long for freedom. You don't have to bother that much about me."

Patrick looked at her, not knowing how to react. He purely wanted to treat her better, yet she refused his kindness in a joking manner. Which he could not be angry, because she had said so just to lighten his burden.

In the afternoon, when Patrick went to work, Amelia was home alone texting with Milton.

She thanked him for his hard work during the period of time, but the progress of the advertisements for the Apex Construction Corporation would have to pause for the time being. As soon as the text message was sent, Milton was so shocked that he immediately made a phone call to ask her what had happened.

Amelia could not think of a valid answer. If she kept it from him, she would feel sorry as a friend. But if she told him, he would definitely be worried about her. After thinking for a while, she said euphemistically, "Don't worry, Apex has just encountered some minor problems recently. I'll get back to you about the advertising after I've finished dealing with them!"

"Amelia..."

Amelia completely did not give him the chance to ask in details. "Oh! By the way, how are you doing in England recently? Did you take good care of yourself?"

"I'm all fine here. I'm just worried about you, in case you'll be bullied."

"How would anyone be able to bully me?" Amelia answered indifferently.

"Amelia, tell me the truth. Are you happy after your divorce?"

"Absolutely!" Amelia sounded completely natural.

"In your last email to me, you said to get back together with Patrick. Is that true?"

"Yes, it's true."

"Why is it still him after all the twists and turns?" Milton sounded a little confused.

Amelia answered without hesitation, "Because he has really changed a lot for me. Our previous marriage was full of misunderstandings and obstacles. Now all the misunderstandings have been solved, and he will overcome all the obstacles with me. I may leave him before the divorce, but for now, I truly can't live without him. It will make my life worse than death."

For a really long time that Amelia had even thought that Milton had been away from the phone, he finally responded in a sluggish voice, "Amelia, when you say all these, have you ever thought... that my life will then be destroyed?"

Amelia held her cellphone tightly. "I'm sorry. I didn't expect that... it would still hurt you. I thought you had fallen in love with Maryanne."

Milton's breathing suddenly became heavier. When he spoke again, his tone was full of grievance and sadness. "Amelia, do you want to know the real reason why I got into a relationship with Maryanne?"

Amelia was stunned for a moment, but Milton went back to his words and said, "Forget it, it's not a great thing anyway. I'd better not say it."

Amelia immediately got anxious. "Hey, do you still see me as a friend? Why are you hiding things from me?"

Milton chuckled and said, "Let me keep the suspense until the day you truly find happiness. At that time, I will definitely send you a big present."

Milton, who was in England and had concentrated on talking on the phone with Amelia, did not notice Maryanne who looked disappointed behind him.

The present Milton wanted gift to Amelia was to dump her, could that be it?

Milton came back to his senses and explained, "Maryanne, you've got me wrong. I wasn't looking down on you. I'm just surprised at your change. Can you tell me what gave you such a great motivation?"

"I just feel that I shouldn't go on in this way." Maryanne thought that she would go crazy if she kept staying in the apartment as time passed, worrying about when Milton would break up with her.

Seeing her sad face, Milton suddenly thought of a plan. "Maryanne, how about you go for a violin training course?"

So that she could expand her social circle and also continue with her talent. He believed that she would definitely agree with such a perfect idea!

But, his idea was rejected by Maryanne in the next second. "With my current skill, I can only go to a professional college to receive training. Other ordinary classes would mean nothing to me."

Although her words made sense, her arrogant tone annoyed him and made him grit his teeth.

"Forget it, I'm not counting on you. Get lost." Maryanne continued preparing her speech.

Milton looked slightly depressed upon being shooed, but he soon got back to his warm appearance. "Maryanne, I came to remind you to eat your breakfast."

"Got it. So can you leave already?" Maryanne replied and put on her headphones. Milton could finally tell that she did not want to listen to him at all.

What was going on? Why was she behaving so strange out of a sudden?

For some reason, Milton suddenly felt a little headache. It was probably because Maryanne had been behaving well during the period that he was caught off guard when she occasionally acted harshly.

However, his ultimate goal was to tame her. Thus, it was necessary to have patience.

So as such a moment, when she had a bad temper all of a sudden, it would be better to stay by her side to leave a good impression on her.

After making up his mind, Milton came to sit near Maryanne and quietly watched her take her lesson.

Being watched by others, especially by the man she loved, it was definitely impossible for Maryanne to focus on her lesson. Through her headphones, she could only hear a sound saying, "He's looking at you. He's looking at you..."

He had just finished talking to Amelia yet he came to put on an act. That was really fake of him that Maryanne felt annoyed and became even less focused on her lesson.

Milton had even happened to tease her at the moment. "Maryanne, I'm actually quite skilled orally. If you need a more lively and interesting teacher, I could be a good choice too."
