Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1985

George said to the servant, "Invite him in." Amelia looked at him in dismay. "Dad-" George said, "Those who have come are guests. If we don't invite him in to have a cup of tea, it will be rude."

However, it was clear that your expression told a different story.

At the same time, the servant had already gone to invite Ryan into the house.

Amelia nervously picked up the tea that the servant had specially made for her in the kitchen, took a sip, and another sip...

Patrick looked at her from afar. She was not that nervous when she gave birth.

A moment later, Ryan followed the servant into Amelia and the others' sights. Amelia thought that this seemed to be the first meeting between Ryan and Geroge and Alice. She could not help but stand up and wanted to introduce them to each other.

George took this opportunity to size him up carefully.

Ryan was very well-mannered and had taken good care of himself. On the other hand, what about him? A serious illness caused by a conspiracy had made him at least ten years older than his peers.

George felt a little uncomfortable about this.

During this period, Amelia introduced them to each other, "Dad, Alice, this is Uncle Quartley."

In the end, she said to Ryan, "Uncle Quartley, this is my father and aunt."

Ryan found that George and his wife looked at him with somewhat unfriendly eyes.

But he thought it was because his son kidnapped their daughter.

As a result, he took the initiative to go to them and reached out his hand, saying, "Hello."

George refused to shake hands with him in his heart. In fact, he wanted to punch Ryan more than shake hands with him!

The atmosphere gradually became awkward. Alice touched the back of his husband's hand gently, indicating that since he had invited Ryan in, he should respond.

George suppressed the agitation in his heart and raised his hand to shake hands with Ryan.

Ryan said kindly and apologetically, "I've heard about you from Amelia earlier, but I haven't had the chance to visit you. I'm really sorry."

George said, "At that time, I was lying in the hospital every day. People could come to see me whenever they wanted. It just depends on their sincerity."

Such a response made Ryan's smile freeze.

When he came to his senses, he immediately apologized. "George, this is indeed my fault! Please allow me to apologize to you in person today..."

"How would I dare?" After George finished speaking faintly, he shook off Ryan's hand.

Ryan choked up before he could finish his words.

Amelia held her forehead with her hand. It seemed that her father invited Uncle Quartley here not to know him, but to humiliate him.

What should she do?

"Shall I put in a good word for Uncle Quartley?"

But wouldn't her dad take her as an outsider?

Amelia hesitated for a while and decided to observe the situation again, so as not to disappoint her father.

In just a few seconds, Ryan calmed down and said, "George, I know you blame me for failing to educate my son and causing accidents to happen to Amelia again and again. I will do anything to appease you!"

George raised his teacup and looked at him faintly. "You sure are righteous and upright." Unfortunately, the inner core was rotten.

Ryan could tell something from his mocking tone. "I may not be considered a gentleman, but at least I haven't done anything wrong."

"Really?" George snorted coldly. "Do you dare to say that you have not done anything wrong in your whole life?"

Ryan suddenly realized that George's hostility was actually directed at him instead of his son.

This made him feel strange.

He remembered that last time when he took Abner to the Land of Fragrance to find Amelia, Patrick had said something similar to him.

Today, George said the same thing. Was it a coincidence? Or did he really do something dirty that was even more outrageous than his son?

He decided to ask clearly, "Your words really make me confused. Can you explain more?"

However, George lowered his head and began drinking his tea.

Ryan frowned. "Why are you avoiding my question, George? Are you hiding something that's hard to say?"

George's hand, which was holding the teacup, paused for a while before he continued to drink.

Ryan noticed his pause and thought to himself, "Is there really something hard to say?"

His eyes unconsciously fell on Amelia.

Since she came back, her attitude towards him was obviously cold, but her attitude towards Abner was still the same. It could be seen that she was targeting only him.

Coupled with Patrick and George's sarcasm towards him, he couldn't help wondering if Amelia had anything to do with this difficulty to speak.

It seemed that he had to carefully investigate it after he went back.

Because of George's coldness, he could only maintain his last traces of dignity and stood up to bid farewell after failing to please George.

Amelia said, "That's called reserved. After all, Uncle Quartley knows he is in the wrong, so he should be euphemistic when talking to you."

George was rendered speechless. He could not help but start to act unreasonably. "You are indeed on his side, aren't you?"

"I..." Just as Amelia was about to explain, George pointed at her with a face full of grief and indignation and said, "Great! You're indeed his biological daughter. You are standing on his side now. In the future, are you going to break off the relationship with me for him?"

"Dad, it won't happen!" Amelia hurriedly appeased him. "If I were on Uncle Quartley's side, I wouldn't have just stood by and watched without saying a word."

George asked fiercely, "Then why are you speaking up for him?"

Amelia felt regret. "Fine, fine, fine. I won't talk anymore. Don't be mad!"

"I haven't asked you yet. Did you ask Ryan to come over?"

Amelia quickly clarified, "No! I told him in the text message last night not to come to the Ramsay residence. I don't know why he came today..."

Patrick said, "I can testify for your daughter."

George then stopped.

Amelia looked at Patrick gratefully, which made him raise his eyebrows.

When they returned to their room, Amelia showed her true feelings. "I was scared to death just now. I have never seen my father so stubborn."

Patrick leaned to the side, looking down and chuckling.

"How can you still laugh?" Amelia said with a sad face.

Patrick stopped laughing and asked, "You said dad has never been so stubborn to you?"

"Yeah, he dotes on me the most since I was a child. He let me do whatever I wanted. As long as I didn't make trouble with him, he was already thankful. Now, things are different."

Amelia said as she fell back on the massage chair, ready to use it to relax.

Patrick consciously walked over, picked up the remote control, and set up a "gentle" mode for her.

Amelia closed her eyes comfortably and enjoyed it.

Patrick stared at her face for a moment and said, "When there are competitors, there will always be some abnormal behavior. It's the same with dad. You should understand him."

Amelia opened her eyes involuntarily and said, "Of course I understand. Otherwise, do you think I would not say a word? I just said a few sentences to my dad later. I didn't expect his reaction to be so big. It seems that I'd better not mention Uncle Quartley in front of him in the future."
