Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1574

"But your choice is actually someone else's daughter- in- law. We'd better not think about it." Ruth suggested.

Ryan sighed and said, "There's one more thing. I allowed Amelia to take Patrick to the dinner when covering up my lie just now. I'm really foolish."

Ruth thought for a moment and said with some excitement, "Dear, if you can take advantage of this opportunity to get back on good terms with Patrick, isn't it rather a good thing?"

"What the f*ck!" Ryan, who was usually a gentleman, actually cursed at the moment, "I'm coming after his woman instead!"

Ruth asked frustratedly, "Why are you so obsessed with Miss Amelia Ramsay?"

Ryan did not bother to hide his fancy for Amelia. "Because she's the best representative of a daughter or daughter-in-law in my heart."

Ruth joked, "Since you're so interested in her, why don't you ask Patrick directly if he can give up his woman to you tomorrow night?"

Ryan knew that it was impossible, so he continued to be immersed in his gloomy mood.

"Fine!" Ruth gently pushed his chest and said softly, "Since we can't see hope on Miss Amelia Ramsay, why don't we just look for another lady? There are so many amazing ladies in the world. There must be one who will impress you and Sawyer."

"That's all we can do." Ryan nodded, unable to hide his disappointment.

The next day, at 7.30 p.m.

Patrick and Amelia arrived at the Exora Hotel on time, the place where Ryan had told her on the phone the previous day.

Amelia was wearing a blue gown, which made her look noble and elegant. While Patrick was wearing a grey vintage suit, looking very mature and steady.

When they came in from the entrance of the hotel, they looked like stars as they had attracted others' attention in an instant.

They were well known in Northville. Especially when they appeared hand in hand in such a high-end place, some even had their mouths wide open that they could even fit an egg.

Noticing the situation, Patrick turned his handsome face to look at the woman next to him with concern, "Amy, are you afraid?"

Amelia looked steadily forward and said to Patrick, "As I have you with me, I'm not afraid."

Patrick nodded and looked around with his sharp eyes, immediately forcing the crowd to keep their strange gazes back.

"Mr. Hopper, Miss Amelia Ramsay." At the moment, the lobby manager strode over and said to them, "You should be Mr. Quartley's honored guests. Please come with me."

After being led to the VIP room, Amelia found that other than Ryan, Ruth was also there.

After a moment of surprise, she greeted with a calm face, "Hello, Uncle Quartley."

"Hello there!" Ryan grinned from ear to ear at the sight of her. He waved his hand and said enthusiastically, "Sit down please!"

After sitting down, Amelia turned her head slightly and looked at Ruth emotionlessly. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Anderson."

"Hello." Ruth smiled at her and nodded at Patrick. "Mr. Patrick."

The younger should have greeted back immediately after being called by elders. However, Patrick only nodded and did not intend to greet them as uncle and aunt.

Fortunately, his pretentious act did not arouse any anger from Ryan and Ruth. In fact, they were quite surprised. They thought Patrick had come to annoy them, or even cause trouble to them. They did not expect him to be so 'kind'.

"Amelia, this is the menu. Look and see what you... two would like to order." Ryan was sitting on Amelia's left, so it was very convenient for them to talk.

Patrick did not miss the unnatural "you... two". Ryan must have wanted to only say "you". But he realized that he was there as well, so he added the word "two" in a hurry.

He sneered and then gently shouted, "Amy."

Amelia immediately looked at him and thoughtfully put the menu in between them, "Mr. Hopper, what would you like to eat?"

Looking at their intimate interaction, Ryan felt as if his heart was dripping blood. The 'daughter-in-law' he was satisfied with had finally had a divorce. Rumors of her with his son were even spread. Yet in the end, her ex- husband had won her back before he could enjoy enough!

Out of the corner of her eye, Ruth caught a glimpse of Ryan's gaze on Amelia. He looked longing yet disappointed. So Ruth could not help but let out a light cough, reminding him not to go too far.

"You want to eat this, and this, right?" Amelia confirmed with him while muttering, "Hmm, aren't these what I usually like to eat?"

Patrick smiled dotingly. "What you like is what I like too."

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Ryan quickly wiped the wine spilled from the glass with a napkin. But from his trembling fingers, he was not as calm as he looked.

Ruth saw her husband's reaction and frowned slightly. But when she found that Patrick was still staring at her coldly, she quickly looked back and said to him as if nothing had happened, "Mr. Patrick, congratulations to you and Miss Amelia Ramsay on the pregnancy."

After the two clinked their glasses gently, one took a graceful sip while the other gulped down the wine in one go.

"Mr. Patrick." Just as Patrick was about to sit down again, Ruth suddenly said, "I'm so happy for you to have found such a good partner like Miss Amelia Ramsay."

Patrick took a deep look at her after he heard this. As she appeared to be completely sincere, he eventually nodded his head in agreement.

Since Patrick be able to buy it, Ruth continued, "Mr. Patrick, in fact, what happened in the past has always been a thorn in Ryan's heart..."

"Honey, why are you talking about it all of a sudden?" Ryan pulled Ruth's hand to stop her.

Ruth looked down and said to him, "We finally met Mr. Patrick, a rare guest. If we don't solve the misunderstanding now, when could we have the chance to?"

Ryan said roughy, "I don't see it as a misunderstanding. Since I've done it, I won't regret it, let alone apologize to him!"

Ruth shook her head at her husband's stubbornness. Then she looked at Patrick and politely said, "Mr. Patrick, please listen to me. Back then, we secretly agreed with Gramps Hopper's idea and helped The Hopper Family to spread Sissi's affair to further ruin her reputation and make her expelled from the country. To be honest, it was really improper.

However, if it weren't for Sissi's terrible character, elders like us wouldn't have done such a cruel thing. You and Sawyer were the most valued children of the two families respectively. And as parents, we wished most for you to gain happiness. While Sissi was really not worthy of the affection of you and Sawyer.

But you were too obsessed with her and could not make a clear judge of it. So we had no choice but to come up with this idea. We are sorry about this, but we have never regretted it. Mr. Patrick, since you also have a child now, can you understand our feelings as parents at that time?"

After listening, Patrick nodded slightly.

Ruth could not help but smile with relief. "It's great that you can understand. To be honest, our son could yet to understand his father's concern for so many years. He has still held grudges with him."

"Honey — " Ryan called again, looking a little embarrassed.

Patrick's lips curled into a cold smile. "Your son is still..."

"Mr. Hopper!" At the moment, Amelia suddenly gave a low shout, which instantly attracted the attention of all at the table.
