Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 61

Making up his mind, Patrick ordered like a macho, "Do not cut off the video call, you get it?"

Amelia was puzzled and asked, "Why? I'm going to bed and I don't have time to talk with you."

"Before you go to bed, turn the camera to yourself and leave the lights on. So I can check on you any time," Patrick Hopper required.

Thinking how scary it might be when someone stared at you sleeping,

Amelia felt a chill and refused, "No way! I'll have a nightmare!"

Before Patrick continue, Amelia cut off the video call and wondered why he had such a ridiculous request.

Hearing the beeping sound, Patrick felt so annoyed and pessimistic that almost crushed his phone into pieces.

"Good, it was you who forced me to do this." Patrick thought.

He quickly dialed Ms. Lily's number and instructed, "Ms. Lily, sorry to disturb you at night. Please come back after you are done with IDG tomorrow! Why? Well... Because the sales of Valentine need to be calculated and analyzed by your department... Yep, that's it."

Patrick, who sought for his own interests with authority, showed a relieved smile, thinking, "You think everything is fine after cutting off my video call? As long as I don't let you go, you can never get out of my control!"

In Riverdale, the next morning.

Hearing the doorbell, Amelia opened the door and found that Ms. Lily was dressed up and waiting for her at the door.

Seeing Amelia who was puzzled, Ms. Lily said urgently, "Amelia, the logistics company just called me and said that the essential oil has already been delivered at IDG. Let's rush there, verify the goods, and then return to Northville after collecting the payment."

"Wait." Amelia was confused, asking, "Ms. Lily, didn't you say that we weren't in a hurry to go back? We would stay here for two more days."

Ms. Lily sighed and said, "Do you think I'm eager to go back? You know we are the backbones of our department? When we are not there and at the same time the bosses push us, others will not be able to handle."

Amelia sadly said, "But I've brought my camera with me, waiting to capture the beautiful scenarios."

Ms. Lily comforted her and said, "Let's film at the airport as a memory."

"..." Amelia felt pity.

6 pm in Northville.

Arriving at home and seeing the shoe cabinet was moved, Patrick felt satisfied from his deep heart.

"Hey, how are you?"

Finding it was his mum in an apron and smiling at him, Patrick felt a little disappointed, asking, "Hey, mum, why are you here?"

Seeing her son's faint disappointment, Eve felt a little unhappy, saying, "You aren't happy when I'm here?"

Patrick responded properly, "No no, I just care about you."

Eve smiled and said, "I came here to see how you are doing."

Then, she asked with some dissatisfaction, "Where is your wife? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

Untying his tie and sat down on the sofa, Patrick said, "She is busy at work."

"What is more important than caring about her home and her husband?" Eve frowned and said coldly, "You know, your home must be taken good care of by your wife. See, she doesn't come home to prepare dinner for you. I feel so pity for you."

Patrick laughed and said, "Mom, you're way too exaggerating. I'm not paralyzed."

Eve snapped, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Since Owen, her elder son, was shot in a mission, the mother had become more nervous about her kids.

Thinking of Owen's lamed left foot, Patrick realized that he had poked her heart with a joke, feeling a little sad.

Eve said, "Let me hire a housekeeper for you.

Otherwise, I'm worried about your health."

Patrick refused politely, "Mom, we are adults and we take care of ourselves."

Staring at him, the mum said, "I know you too much. You haven't wash a bowl and cooked a meal in the past 30 years at all."

Being silent for 30 seconds, Patrick gave in and said, "Okay, it's up to you."

Eve nodded with satisfaction and took him to the table to taste the meal she prepared. Then she called the driver to pick her.

In Riverdale.

On the flight back to the Northville, Amelia looked at the clouds outside the window and sighed pitifully.

Ms. Lily knew clearly why she sighed - Despite the busy schedule, it was better to be on duty in the office. Then she began to cheer Amelia up, asking, "My dear, what did you buy in the Duty-Free Shop?"

"Bracelet, facial mask, snacks..." Amelia counted and her face gradually lit up. Then she stopped a stewardess passing by. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

The stewardess stopped by her side and asked softly, "Madam, how can I help you?"

Amelia asked in a low voice, "Is Florence Hopper onboard?"

The reason why she asked so was that she wanted to give Florence the gift she bought at the duty- free shop. Otherwise, it would be long before they could meet again.

The stewardess answered with regret, "A passenger made a complaint about Florence's service the day before yesterday and our supervisor suspended her

duty."

Amelia felt sorry for Florence.

After landing, Amelia and Ms. Lily said goodbye to each other and then went to their own homes.

Silently opening the door, before she could bring her luggage in, she saw Patrick walking towards her with one hand in his pocket. His shadow gradually covered her feet, legs, waist and chest...

Amelia couldn't move her body or look away.

"Mrs. Hopper." Patrick moved her luggage away, so there is no barrier between them. He easily broke the ice, asking, "Have you had fun on your trip?"

Hearing this, Amelia immediately frowned.

She poked his chest with her fingertips and asked, "You told Lily to come back right after the work?"

She was a little confused at the beginning, but the more she thought, the stranger it became. It must have been that one of the bosses instructed Ms. Lily to return in such a hurry.

And the one who had the right to order Ms. Lily Seth could be no one but Patrick.

Faced with her observation, Patrick calmly asked, "Yep, I told Lily to come back soon. What's wrong?"

Amelia was so angry that she shouted, "I was planning to relax in Riverdale, sightseeing and let go of all my bad luck. But you suddenly called us back and all the plans are gone!

I just cut off your video call but do you have to revenge in this way?

Holding Amelia's hand on his chest gently, Patrick rubbed and smiled intriguingly, saying, "Mrs. Hopper, you mean that the company will pay for all your travel expenses there?"
