Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1718

Amelia glanced at the two in amusement and said to Patrick, "Mr. Hopper, Jessica is a lady. I think you should be gentler to her."

After that, Amelia said to Jessica, "Jessica, please forgive him for the sake that he served you water."

Jessica raised her chin and said, "You heard her. I'll forgive you for her sake.”

Jessica then received the cup of water from Patrick. As soon as she took a sip, her face twisted immediately. "Sh*t! Patrick Hopper! It's boiling hot!"

At that, Patrick frowned and realized that he had forgotten to add cold water when he was eavesdropping.

But it seemed that Jessica would not believe him even if he explained, so he said, "If you think it's warm, you can add cold water yourself. You're so troublesome."

"Mr. Hopper!" Amelia immediately had a bad feeling when she heard what Patrick said.

Patrick lowered his gaze and looked at Amelia with some grievance. 'Amy, I didn't mean to do that."

Amelia's temper dissipated because of Patrick's look, so she said to Jessica, "Jessica, don't get angry. He didn't mean to..."

Jessica refused to believe that Patrick did not do it on purpose. Anyway, her relationship with Patrick could not be worse. So, she said bluntly, "If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't help you out when Milton censured you at Land of Fragrance!"

Amelia was stunned. "Jessica, what did you say?"

"I said, Milton and I went to Land of Fragrance to look for Patrick. We wanted to ask about you, but guess what he was doing? He was renovating the house! Milton flew into a rage then. If I hadn't stopped him, ha!"

At last, Jessica shot Amelia a look, which indicated to her to finish the story herself.

Patrick merely answered coldly, "You're eager for a fray."

"I am eager for a fray, but so what? Hit me if you dare!” Jessica had nothing to worry about since she was with Amelia.

But Amelia had her mind about another matter. "Mr. Hopper, when I wasn't around, did you renovate Land of Fragrance yourself?”

"Yes." Patrick looked at Amelia in a soft gaze and said, "Amy, do you still remember that we spent some time studying the renovation blueprints before our wedding?"

Amelia quickly replied, "Of course."

Patrick continued, "In the past three months, I transformed Land of Fragrance to your liking. But the house is too big, and I don't have enough manpower, so some places aren't perfect yet."

Under his affectionate yet apologetic look, Amelia felt a warmth in her chest. "It doesn't matter at all. Your effort means a lot to me!"

Jessica had guessed it would turn out like this!

Jessica shrugged helplessly next to Amelia with joy in her eyes.

An hour later.

When Amelia was beginning to look tired, Jessica stopped talking about her endless topic. She changed the subject and said, "Um...The rain is about to stop. Wayne and I should head back."

After that, Amelia said, "Jessica, you and Wayne live can in town tonight. I'm afraid that it's not safe for you to drive through the mountain road at night."

"Okay. By the way, Amelia, I'm going to live here with Sierra for a few days. What do you think about that?"

"Sure. After all, it's only a makeshift for you to go to Houwen Village. It's the best if you can come back and live."

"That great! Then we don't have to call each other again in the future. We can meet every day!" At this, Jessica pulled Amelia into a hug.

Amelia let Jessica be. "You told me on the phone that Houwen Village has built a base station?"

"That's right. What a coincidence, right? In the first month after Sawyer kidnapped you, the chief of Houwen Village announced that they were building a base station in the village. Every day, I waited for you to call me and tell me that you're safe. Stupid, right?"

Amelia envisioned that. She felt a little sorrowful and bemused at the same time. "Well, it is quite stupid. You're like a child that left at home."

"Screw you!" Jessica spat, but she also smiled brightly. "You don't know about this. When I saw Alice's call, I had a strange feeling in my heart. I didn't expect that it would be your voice when I picked up! Maybe God didn't want me to wait for you with my phone like a fool, so he asked you to send me a message!"

As Amelia watched Jessica's surprised and lively expressions, Amelia felt like she was ladened with sins. After all, her disappearance had caused everyone's lives to turn chaotic and restless.

After Amelia and Patrick sent Jessica and Wayne to the elevator, Amelia smiled and said to the two as they walked into the elevator, "Be careful on the road."

Jessica hurriedly waved at Amelia and said, "Amelia, take care. I'll come back and visit you soon!"

At the same time, the door of the elevator closed.

Patrick gently held Amelia's shoulder and whispered to her, "Let's go back too."

When his hand reached for her collar, Amelia blurted out, "I... I've gotten fatter..."

Patrick was taken aback, then his worried expression turned strange. It looked like he was relieved, but he also had an urge to laugh.

At the sight of his expression, Amelia expressed gloomily, "Laugh if you want. Why are you holding back?"

Patrick's eyes, which were lit up with joy, narrowed slightly. "Amy, I'm not laughing at you. I was just thinking, other than your womb that I impregnated, where else have you gotten fatter?"

This man!

Could he not be so crude?

Amelia was struck speechless for a moment, then Patrick asked again, "Tell me. Where else did you get fatter?"

Amelia flushed, then she said while flustered, "Everywhere! You're not a woman. You won't understand."

Patrick raised his brows and wondered if she worried about her figure because she was pregnant or if she was afraid of being seen by him.

If that was the case, she did not need to worry. Because her figure was delicate and petite from the get- go and Patrick even wished to fatten her.

"Amy, listen to me and raise your arms. I'll tell for myself where did you get fatter."

When Amelia matched his teasing eyes, she gently bit her lower lip. "Then you have to promise not to laugh at me!"

Patrick solemnly nodded. "I promise."

So, Amelia raised her hand. Patrick took a look and found that except for her belly, she was still thin. Maybe it was because she had not been under the sun for three months, her skin had also become fairer and more delicate.

From the look of her, Sawyer did not torment Amelia from the physical aspect.

When Patrick was looking at her for a long time without saying a word, Amelia, who thought she was fat due to pregnancy, suddenly had an impulse to put on her clothes again.

But in the next second, Patrick croaked in a hoarse voice, 'Amy, you're not fat at all. Besides, now isn't the critical period for you to gain weight. You'll know after you give birth."

A look of happiness and worry showed on Amelia's face as she heard this. Then, she could not help but ask, "Mr. Hopper, if I get fatter, will you like me less?"
