Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1748

Maryanne returned home with a shopping bag in her hand, causing Hobart to think that she went shopping. He did not say anything else after saying, "Maryanne, come over to eat dinner."

After Maryanne returned to her room, she threw the empty shopping bag aside and went downstairs without saying a word. When she came to the dining table, Hobart was puzzled. "What's wrong, sis? Aren't you going shopping? Who made you angry?"

Maryanne picked up the rice from the bowl with her chopsticks and said absentmindedly, "I'm fine."

She said she was fine? Her voice was so low that she sounded like she was about to cry.

Hobart frowned, but soon pretended to be relaxed. "Maryanne, well, I'm free these days. Why don't I take you shopping in Hong Kong? What do you think?"

Maryanne said with little interest, "No need, brother. I don't have anything to buy."

"No?" Hobart was a little embarrassed. He only blamed himself for interacting with gold diggers, and there is nothing is he can not solve with money. It was obvious that he had failed to please Maryanne.

"Brother, let's eat." Maryanne didn't want Hobart to worry about her, especially because she didn't want him to notice anything. So, she took the initiative to give him a pair of chopsticks and forced a smile.

Hobart asked with dissatisfaction, "Don't you have anything you want? Tell me, I will make it happen!"

Maryanne's movements paused. She wanted time to back to the very beginning. Back then, she neither knew Patrick nor Amelia, not to mention Milton. She was still a willful little princess. She only had to follow Hobart around to show off her might every day. She did not need to worry about anything and would not lose anything.

She was lost in thought when she caught sight of Hobart's caring eyes. Maryanne said from the bottom of her heart, "Brother, what I want is very simple. That is, our family could live in peace and harmony with a beautiful life. I already have a lot of other things."

Hobart simply can't do anything with her. He sighed and lowered his head to eat the meal.

Just then, they heard a series of knocks on the door from outside. The Hobart siblings who were preoccupied with their own worries did not notice until the servant who was responsible for opening the door came back and reported, "Young Master, Miss, Mr. Look... is here again."

Maryanne's expression suddenly became very uncomfortable as she heard this.

"I'm going to chase him away!" Hobart was even angrier. He threw his chopsticks away casually and was about to drive Milton out.

This time, Maryanne did not stop him. She even started drinking the soup slowly.

Hobart pushed the chair aside without hesitation as he saw this and charged toward the door.

Maryanne, on the other hand, became quiet after he left the table.

When the maid saw that Maryanne suddenly stopped eating, she could not help but ask, "Miss, what's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

Maryanne said gloomily, "You don't have to worry about me. Just do your own stuff.”

"...Yes." Although Maryanne had not lost her temper since she returned from abroad, the servants were still afraid of her.

At the door.

Hobart lowered his head and looked down at the well-dressed Milton. He asked impatiently, "Why are you here again?"

When Milton saw Hobart, a look of surprise and disappointment flashed across his eyes. However, on second thought, he realized that Hobart might have deliberately stopped Maryanne from coming out to meet him. He then felt relieved.

"Brother-in-law, I'm looking for Maryanne. Is she here?"

What, what?!

"What did he call me?"

Hobart looked as if he had been shoved in a mouthful of shit. He was both shocked and angry.

Milton smiled and said, "I'm Maryanne's boyfriend and you're her brother. It's rude to not call you brother-in-law, isn't it?"

Milton said firmly, "What you give, and what I give, is not the same."

" ." Hobart nearly caught his breath again.

Of course, he knew that the love between siblings was not the same as the love between a man and a woman, but what was his focus now?

No! His focus was to ask the fella in front of him to stay away from his sister!

As Maryanne had not yet recovered from the pain of love. If this fella continued to hand around in front of Maryanne, it would only make it more difficult for Maryanne to forget him.

"Brother." At this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly came from behind Hobart and instantly brightened up Milton's eyes.

"Maryanne!" He shouted excitedly.

Hobart frowned and turned to look at Maryanne. "Maryanne, what are you doing here?"

"Brother, let me talk to him," Maryanne walked up to him and said softly to Hobart.

Since it was already like this, what else could they talk about?!

Hobart's expression turned even worse. Milton, on the other hand, was the exact opposite of him. He was smiling so brightly.

Unexpectedly, Maryanne's next sentence changed the expression of the two men present. "Brother, you drove him away for so long, but he didn't leave. Let me do it."

" ." This time it was Milton's turn to show a

stunned expression.
