Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1989

Patrick looked at Ryan and asked, "In other words, you didn't want to acknowledge your illegitimate daughter. It's only because it's Amy that you decided to give a different treatment, right?"

"That's right," Ryan said, unable to deceive himself. "I've always liked her and felt that we had an inexplicable bond. Now I know that she's my daughter! It's really the best gift that God gave me!"

Hearing this, George was unhappy. "Don't be sentimental. Amelia is a gift from the heavens to the Ramsay family!"

Ryan said sincerely, "George, I don't mean to compete with you for these things. In the past 20 years, you have adopted Amelia, given her a good life, and found her a good husband. I sincerely appreciate you!"

George snorted. "You made everything sound so nice! Are you trying to snatch Amelia back when we're soft-heartened?"

Ryan said bitterly, "George, Amelia is my biological daughter after all!"

The subtext was, "It was only right that he recognized Amelia!"

George hated him the most when he used his bloodline connection to talk about this. "You only provided a living sperm to Amelia's mother. As for the twenty- plus years of her life, you've missed it. Now you want to get involved in her life? It's too late, there’s no way!"

Ryan's heart sank.

He said, "I'm sorry. I've mistreated Amelia!"

George shot him a sidelong glance. "You've already finished speaking, haven't you? Is it time for me to send you off? "

Ryan said urgently, "Wait, please tell Amelia what I said. I'm begging you!"

Then, he made a bow.

"Hmm." George gave a vague reply. Ryan did not know whether he had agreed or not.

However, this was already the best treatment Ryan could get for himself.

He had no confidence to argue with George unless he could get his daughter's forgiveness first.

"George, I'll take my leave. Thank you for taking care of Amelia and her son."

Hearing this, George became unhappy again. "We have already taken care of her for over twenty years. There is nothing to worry about, we are happy! Moreover, with our current health, even if we take care of her for another twenty years, it will not be a problem at all!"

The implication was: You can forget about taking her back!

Ryan gave a wry smile. Everything he said now was wrong, and he couldn't refute it.

"Send the guest off—"

After George finished shouting, he suddenly recalled that he had dismissed all the servants. He could not help but feel a little awkward.

At this moment, Patrick stood up and said, "Dad, Alice, why don't I see him off?"

George immediately smiled comfortably.

"Okay, come back early."

Along the way, Ryan couldn't help but say, "Nephew Hopper."

Patrick looked at him.

Ryan sighed, "Now I finally understand the meaning behind the words you said to me on Land of Fragrance that day. You asked me to think through why Amelia distant herself from me, but I blamed it all on Sawyer. This is truly..."

He stopped shamefully and shook his head.

Patrick retracted his gaze and said plainly, "What are you going to do next?"

Ryan lowered his head slightly. "I want to apologize and compensate Amelia until she is willing to accept me, her incompetent father."

He didn't dare to speak out about such grand ambition in front of George and his wife just now. It was like cutting their hearts. Apart from stimulating the contradiction between the two families, it had no other use.

Patrick asked sharply, "How do you want to compensate her? Should you admit to your wife that Amy is your daughter first? But don't forget that she is your illegitimate daughter. Will your wife forgive you after you tell her?"

Ryan froze.

Patrick saw that he could not walk any further, so he stopped and said, "You didn't think about it at all. You came to the Ramsay residence to meet your daughter on impulse after knowing the truth."

"What will happen after that? What can you give to Amy? Let's not talk about other things, just talk about my father-in-law... Of course, the 'father-in-law' I mentioned does not refer to you."

Does not refer to you!

Ryan's heart was stabbed again.

Patrick continued, "Who doesn't know now that my father-in-law dotes on Amy as his own daughter? Ever since the death of Brittany, Amy has become the only jewel of the Ramsay family."

"If everything goes according to plan in the future, all of my father-in-law's assets will be inherited by Amy. If anything happens, they won't have to worry. As long as I'm here, no one will be able to snatch a single fortune from Amy."

"As for you, how much can you give Amy? If your wife makes trouble with you in the future, will you be able to stick to your initial decision?"

After being questioned by him, Ryan was forced to retreat. After a long while, he said with difficulty, "I'll take care of... these things!" Patrick's voice was gentle, but each word seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. "Oh? So you are going to confess to your wife immediately after going back?"

George did not forget to tell him, "Patrick, you must remember not to tell Amelia anything Ryan said just now. She is kind-hearted. Once she knows the truth, she will definitely be softhearted!"

Patrick nodded. "I'll listen to you, dad."

"Well, well, well, I didn't misjudge you!" George happily patted him on the shoulder.

Patrick smiled and said, "Dad, Alice, I'll go back to my room to keep Amy company. Have an early rest."

"Alright, you can go!" George let him go without any hesitation.

Alice nodded at him elegantly. "Good night."

After Patrick walked away, George's smile faded and he began to think.

Alice saw this and could not help but ask, "Still worried?"

"Yes!" George sighed and said, "If only Ryan was a scum. But it just so happened that he was schemed by someone that he had Amelia. If Amelia knew it, do you think that she would forgive Ryan?"

Alice heard the anxiety in his words and comforted him, "I think that even if Amelia forgives him, it doesn't mean that she will recognize him. Didn't she say that you are her only father?"

Hearing this, George’s eyes became brighter. "Alice, you are right! I am the one who raised Amelia for more than 20 years. What can Ryan compete with me for?"

When Patrick entered the bedroom, he saw his wife sitting next to the baby bed and coaxing their son to sleep.

When she heard him come in, she put down the storybook in her hand and asked softly, "Dad didn't fight with Uncle Quartley, did he?"

Patrick shook his head.

Amelia felt relieved. "What did Uncle Quartley tell you?"

"Dad didn't want me to tell you." Patrick approached her. "Ask him yourself tomorrow."

Amelia couldn't help laughing. "Dad is being really careful. Forget it, it's fine as long as they didn't have big conflicts."

Patrick stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly reached out to pinch her cheeks and pulled them apart.

Amelia's face was twisted, and her voice trailed off. "What... are... you... doing?"

Patrick raised his eyebrows and said, "I want to find out what kind of special charm you have that could make all the young and old people want you."
