Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1567

Hearing that, Maryanne removed her headphones and looked at him with a faint smile. "You'll be my teacher?"

"Sure, as long as you need me." Milton tried hard to win Maryanne's favor.

"But you're busy, aren't you? Even when you get off work, you're busy designing advertisements."

When Maryanne was speaking, her eyes darkened. She knew that Milton would work on his computer once he had the time to design advertisements for the Apex Construction Corporation for Amelia.

He thought that she could not find it out. But in fact, it was a simple thing to differentiate. Since he was working in an international company, he would work on advertisements from abroad. So the annotations on the ads would be in foreign languages. Only the advertisement for the Apex Construction Corporation was in English all the time.

When Maryanne mentioned it, Milton's expression became slightly awkward. "I can't help it. Since I was appointed by the boss, I have to do my job." [Boss? Since when did Amelia become your boss?]

Maryanne laughed coldly. "Since you're already so busy, I'd better not bother you some more."

"I won't be busy for the time being." Milton immediately said as he thought of Amelia's text message asking him to make a pause.

"Oh? Seems like your boss finally learnt to be kind and stopped torturing you." Maryanne said with a faint smile.

Milton let out a hollow laugh. "Since I don't have much to do recently, why don't you let me teach you?"

Maryanne shook her head unexpectedly under his expectant gaze. "Forget about it."

Milton was surprised, he had never expected that she would refuse him.

Maryanne said self-deprecatingly, "I'm just a toy for you to kill time. Once you got some work again, I'm sure you'll drive me away to not trouble you."

Upon hearing this, Milton heart inexplicably felt hurt. "Maryanne, since I have promised to teach you, I will definitely fulfill my promise to the end."

"Thanks, but you're already so busy normally. You don't have to worry about such trivial matter of mine." Although Milton had gone so far, Maryanne was still stubborn.

Milton's eyes that used to be warm, seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice as they fell on her.

But, Maryanne had her eyes fixed on the screen with her back facing him. So she did not notice his unusual behavior.

After a while, Milton's gentle voice sounded again, "Well, I won't force you. Let's go out for breakfast."

Again!

Each time she thought Milton was about to lose his temper, he could adjust himself in a very short time.

Unless she deliberately mentioned Amelia in front of him, it would make him furious. Otherwise, he always had a good temper.

Could he lose control for her once? Even if it was a simple one. At least it proved that she also meant something in his heart.

Maryanne closed her eyes sorrowfully and said to him without turning her head back, "You may go ahead, I'll eat later."

But the next second, her laptop was taken away.

Maryanne was stunned and looked at the strange man. "I bought the laptop on my own."

"I know." Milton replied, still holding the laptop in his hand. "But it's time for breakfast."

Maryanne said in a fit of pique, "But I'm not in the mood for breakfast."

Milton dismissed, "But if you don't eat breakfast, your body will become weak."

Maryanne said impatiently, "You're so annoying. Why don't you go to work? Why mess around with me here?"

Milton said without thinking, "I care about you because you are my girlfriend."

"Enough!" Maryanne was suddenly offended, "Do you really see me as your girlfriend?!"

Milton's expression became serious. "What do you mean?"

After a moment of panic, Maryanne acted arrogant and said, "Stop pretending. I heard everything when you called Amelia."

"Have you eavesdropped again?" Milton was enraged and Maryanne's heart sank. He had always reacted as such when she mentioned Amelia. The disgust he showed from the bottom of his heart made her feel as cold as ice.

But, she still pretended to be in high status. "What do you mean I eavesdropped? The living room a public area. If you want to have a private talk with Amelia, why don't you hide in the toilet? Your nauseating words had brought disgust to me!"

"Maryanne!" In a rage, Milton suddenly thought of his conversation with Amelia saying, "Do you want to know the real reason why I got into a relationship with Maryanne?"

Panicked, he asked, "Did you hear all of it?"

Maryanne looked at him and sneered, "When you say that you're living a life worse than death for her, I can't bear to listen anymore. How can you say such disgusting words!"

So, had Maryanne not heard the later sentence?"

Milton sighed, not knowing if it was out of annoyance or relief. He then calmed down and said, "You've misunderstood things. My relationship with Amelia is not like what you think."

"Oh? You would even sacrifice for her, was it not true love?"

"I..." It was really hard to explain. So Milton was speechless for a moment.

"Didn't you say that there has never been a hug or a kiss between us?" Seeing Maryanne's strange expression, Milton thought she did not like it and hurriedly said, "I apologize for my abruptness."

No!

She was not asking about that. She was wondering, why did he have to go so far?

She was about to propose for a break up. Why did he not take the opportunity to ditch her and go back to Amelia?

Had he not played enough?

After having all the thoughts, Maryanne could not help but say to him, "Milton, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Milton frowned. Did she wish for a break up with him?

Maryanne took in a deep breath and spoke out her mind which she had hidden for long, "My feelings for you are so strong that I can't stop myself from loving you." Hence, your goal had been achieved. Let's break up!

Milton's eyes suddenly trembled, "Maryanne..."

"What's wrong with your expression?"

That was strange. He should have proudly ditched her and laughed at her that she had been fooled. But, why did he show a shy expression like a pure and innocent man being confessed on?

Under Maryanne's shocked gaze, Milton smiled and said, "Maryanne, I just didn't expect you to have such a deep feeling for me. So I'm a little surprised."

Maryanne asked, "Purely surprised?"

Milton added, "And... moved!"

"Don't you have anything else to say to me?" About the break up! Maryanne got anxious.

Yet Milton said, "I will definitely treat you better in the future."

Maryanne was speechless at his extraordinary response. Why did he act completely differently as how she had supposed?

Wait, could he actually fall in love with her?

When this thought came to her, Maryanne immediately shook her head.

It was impossible. She had almost killed Amelia. Moreover, he had just confessed his love for Amelia on the phone. It could then be seen that he had not fallen in love with her.
