Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 22

Kicking off her chair, Brittany stood up wishing everyone a bon appetit, except her half-sister.

Amelia did not even spare Brittany a glance. The two half-sisters were even strangers to each other.

Alice required Brittany, "My dear, come back and be seated!"

"Let her go." George waved his hand with his frustrated face. "Alice, go and stay with her."

Knowing very well that George wanted Amelia to stay comfortably without the daughter and the mother, Alice nodded and left the table.

With the strong delayed effect of the liquor, George seemed a bit dizzy and held his hands on the table, asked, "My dear, are you happy now?"

"You're drunk." Amelia put down her chopsticks, unwilling to talk more.

Ridiculous! It was a fact that George had done something wrong back then but how dare he be such innocent asking if she was happy?

"I'm not drunk!" George blurted out a denial. "My dear, I know that your childhood was miserable and you shouldered beyond your body. If possible, I do want to do everything I can to meet all your requests..."

"Since young, I have had only one request." Amelia's eyes were filled with misery. "Do you think you can make my mom come back to life?"

In the end, the visit to her original family came to an end in discord, which was absolutely within the expectation and Amelia had got to use to it in those suffering years.

After leaving the Ramsay Family, Amelia found Patrick looking down at his mobile phone frequently and said, "If you have something to do, just go ahead and I'll take a taxi home."

Patrick put down his phone. He had just taken over Roxxon's business recently, so there were a lot of complicated works. A few minutes ago, his secretary sent him a text message, informing him to go back to the office for a video meeting with the client.

He asked, "Do you want a driver from home to pick you up?"

She answered, "No need, it's easy to get a car here."

Seeing her husband driving away, Amelia looked back at the villa of her father and quickly turned her head, waving for a taxi.

Every family had its own difficulties. To be honest, Amelia appreciates Patrick leaving no comment to the tanglesome affairs of her original family, instead of teaching from the moral high ground.

At Lotus Apartment.

Amelia came back all the way for her electro motorbike, nicknamed Little Sheep. This was an important transport means for her and shouldn't be left unused.

She put on the helmet and rode back to The Hopper Family, only to find that she was not allowed in by the security guards outside.

"Can I park my Little Sheep in the basement parking?" Amelia asked. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The security guard hesitated and didn't say a word.

"Alright, I'll ask for my mom's approval."

It was only then that the security guard allowed her and her electro motorbike in, which looked incompatible with the luxurious compound.

Entering into the living room, Amelia saw Eve, Florence and Nora playing mahjong. So she thought it would be good timing to get the approval on parking her Little Sheep from her mother-in-law.

Seeing Amelia coming back, Florence waved her hand and greeted, "Hey my dear sister-in-law Amelia, we need you here! Wanna join us?"

Noticing Amelia back alone, Nora asked with concern, "My dear, where's your Patrick?"

Amelia answered in a low voice, "Uh, he has something important to work on then."

"Did you ask what's the important work?"

"He didn't tell me."

Nora sighed - If Patrick didn't mention, Amelia wouldn't care about it. If a couple treated each other indifferently like this, there would be hidden dangers.

Eve was like a cold fish, "You're back?"

Amelia nodded and called her "Mom".

Her mother-in-law asked, "Join us for mahjong?"

Amelia didn't seem to concentrate on the question, "Sorry?"

"Didn't you find we need one more player? Tell me, join us or not?" Eve was out of patience.
