Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1646

After leaving Home of Smith, Milton sat in his car, unable to control his agitation for a long time. Finally, he took out his phone and called Amelia.

Not long after, a pleasant feminine voice sounded, and Milton hurriedly cried out, "Amelia!"

Amelia was shocked by Milton's abnormality on the other end of the line. "Wh... What's wrong?"

Milton announced excitedly, "I just confessed my feelings to Maryanne!"

Amelia was caught speechless for a long moment before she asked, "Really? What did she say?"

"She rejected me." Milton's tone sounded slightly dejected, but soon raised his spirits and continued, "But compared with the indifferent attitude I gave her in the beginning, this is nothing! I told her that I'll never give up on her!"

"Well, since you're certain of your feelings, then try your best to pursue her. I'll support you!"

"Thank you, Amelia. If it weren't for what you said that woke something in me the other day, I probably wouldn't have taken this step today." Milton felt ashamed.

"It's normal to feel lost in love. This is the time for your family and friends to play a role in helping you. Milton, I'm glad to be able to lend you a hand, and I give you my blessing for your pursuit of happiness."

"Thank you..." It was Milton's first time to calmly receive the idea that Amelia was encouraging him to move on from her.

"By the way, have you decided how to explain to Aunt Sierra?" Amelia asked.

"Er... I'll just tell her that I had a quarrel with Maryanne." He would never admit that Maryanne wanted to break up with him!

In a Western restaurant.

"Okay, goodbye." After putting down the phone, Amelia revealed a faint smile. Knowing that Milton had regained his energy and confidence made her genuinely happy.

Florence, who was sitting across Amelia, could not help but stop eating after noticing Amelia's joy. Florence then asked, "Amelia, why are you so happy?"

Amelia lowered her phone and answered casually, "It's nothing."

"How can it be nothing?" Florence narrowed her eyes. "I heard it. You said 'Milton'. I remember that he's interested in you!"

Amelia shook her head with a smile and responded, "Florence, Milton is my friend. He's in a row with his girlfriend and asked me what to do." "Oh, his girlfriend is Maryanne Smith. I also know that she likes Patrick before!"

Florence nodded to demonstrate how that she had a good memory, then continued, "I also know that Maryanne has an elder brother, a playboy who once coveted you. That pair of siblings really like to steal others' favour!"

Amelia returned flatly when she heard this, "Florence, that's all in the past. Don't bring it up again, okay?"

"Okay, okay. It was a slip of the tongue. You know that I love to gossip. Come on, Amelia. Let's dig in!" Florence urged as she pushed a plate of steak to Amelia.

However, Amelia was on the alert. "Florence, have you been acquainted with Hobart recently?"

"No! He changes girlfriend so quickly, so why will I be acquainted with him?" Florence asked back with disdain.

"It's best if you don't." Amelia pondered for a moment before she said with concern, "If you ever find yourself caught up with him for any reason, stay away from him. The farther the better. Do you understand?"

"Okay." Florence responded sweetly then continued, "Get on with it, Amelia. You still have to get me a maid of honour dress later!"

After lunch, Florence held Amelia's hand and they strolled leisurely on the commercial street.

How long had it been since Amelia had such a comfortable and unbothered day?

Amelia then recalled that, ever since she married Patrick and took over Apex Construction Corporation, she had been busy all the time. She even needed to squeeze out some free time just to dress up.

After that, she quit Apex Construction Corporation and paid less attention to looking nice as she could dress up comfortably.

Even Florence expressed, "Amelia, I find that you're dressing more and more casually now. You're lucky that you're pretty, if not, you don't look like a wealthy wife at all!"

Amelia was not mad at Florence's remark in the slightest. She even replied jokingly, "I'm no wealthy wife. Don't forget, Patrick and I aren't remarried yet."

"Yes." Patrick admitted, then he continued, "But I don't want to live for her. I've been living in her expectations since I was a child. Whatever she wanted me to do, I would always do it. Apart from the conflict that I had with her because of Sissi, I had always listened to her. And that's the exact reason why we're in this state today. She thought she could control me for a lifetime, but I've decided to stay with you without hesitation, which is a huge blow to her. She doesn't want to admit that she's losing to you, so she's becoming more and more irrational and unscrupulous. Unfortunately, her actions only cause me to drift further away from her."

Amelia could not help but said after listening to Patrick, "Mr. Hopper, I hope you don't feel upset.."

But Patrick lifted his arms and hugged Amelia. He then said sincerely and with passion, "I won't feel upset with you by my side"

The next day.

Owen had found some clues about Yancie's disappearance, which came from the skincare products and cosmetics she had used that were in the house she rented. They also found her clothes in the drawer under her bed. If she was about to leave the city, why did she not take these with her?

When Patrick received Owen's call, he said, "Owen, Brittany said that Yancie once blackmailed Kaleb for a large sum of money. Did you find the check and bank card in the rented house?"

"Nope."

"Then can you go to the banks and check if there's any information about a woman named 'Yancie Cabeza'?" Patrick asked again.

"All right. I'll send someone to investigate it right now." As a police officer, Owen was also rather concerned about Yancie's disappearance. It would be great if he could solve the case!

After the call with Owen, Patrick immediately dialled Richard and asked him to publish the photos and information about Yancie on various forums. Patrick also instructed that if someone spotted her, they should contact them at once.

As soon as Patrick lowered his phone, Amelia immediately asked, "Mr. Hopper, where did you get the photos of Yancie? I remember that those photos of her in bed with Kaleb were blurred out."

"Didn't Brittany meet Yancie before? According to her description of Yancie, Owen provided some identity cards for Brittany and confirmed Yancie from it. Then, all of Yancie's personal information revealed at once," Patrick explained.

"I see."

"Let's wait and see. 'Yancie' will get dug up by Owen even if she's hiding three feet beneath the ground."

Patrick was keen on this for if he could find Yancie, it signified be a fatal blow to Kaleb!
