Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 384

"The honor of the family is to force me to call a woman who has nothing to do with us stepmother? Owen, Nora, Florence, do you want to do that?"

Florence pursed her lips and shook her head. "No!"

Owen and Nora were also resistant to the suggestion, "Grandma, do you have any other idea?" Granny Hopper pressed her lips together and looked at Amelia. "Amelia, what do you think?"

"Me?" Amelia said sincerely, "I have no objection as long as Howard is happy..."

What she meant was that whatever Howard decided to do-he could come back to Eve after everything was settled, or divorce Eve because he had feelings for Jocelyn—as long as he was happy, Amelia had no objection.

Amelia was not a saint. She was unable to sympathize with Eve because she was her mother-in-law. If Eve had been reasonable, Amelia would definitely stand on her side now.

It was a pity that Eve had never treated Amelia as her family from the beginning, or had never treated her as a human being!

Granny Hopper's first smile today finally appeared on her worried face. She believed that Amelia was at the same level as her, unlike Patrick and others.

Their focus was so limited without caring about the honor of the whole family!

"Okay. So Amelia'll call Howard and explain to him what I mean. Well, I'm tired. I'm going back to my room to have a rest. If you are busy with your work, you can leave now."

After that, Granny Hopper waved her hand and went upstairs, regardless of others, even though they seemed to have something else to say but had no idea where to start.

"Patrick, Amelia, I'll go back to my office and ask my previous colleagues to locate Dad." After a pause, Owen turned to his wife and said, "It's time for you to leave, too. It's almost the end of class

for Andrew and Ashley."

"Okay, don't worry. Just go back to your office. I'll pick up the children." Nora said warmly.

After Owen and Nora left, Patrick cast a gloomy glance at Amelia, who was looking down. "Silly girl. What's she thinking? She doesn't even notice my gaze from such a short distance," thought Patrick.

Holding a pillow, Florence reminded Amelia. "Amelia, Patrick seems to have something to say to you."

"Hmm?" Amelia replied without a second thought, "I have nothing to say to him..." They were in different positions, and neither of them would compromise with each other. They could never reach any agreement even if they talked about it all night.

Her answer was so bold!

With his face darkening, Patrick rose and strode to Amelia before he ordered condescendingly, "We'll talk!"

Amelia's suspicion came from the bottom of her heart. "You're not closing the door and hitting me, are you?"

She didn't want to lie on the same bed with Patrick tonight. If possible, she wanted to hide in Florence's room.

"Do I look like I had hit a woman?" Although he did want to teach her a lesson now.

Amelia curled her lips, "No. These are all my true feelings."

"Really? Then what is this?" He suddenly drew out from her coat. After seeing the word "will", Patrick laughed sarcastically. "I knew it. No wonder you care about Dad's 'happiness' so much. It turns out that's because of this thing."

Amelia tightened her hands at her side. "What do you mean?"

Patrick said slowly, "You can be bought off by just one billion. I didn't know your true feelings are so cheap. Well, how about I give you two billion, and you call Howard and insult him now?"

Amelia's eyes turned red. "You b*stard, do you think I'm the kind of woman who is greedy for money? Let me tell you, I would never turn to your side even if you gave me twenty billion, not to mention two billion!"

Patrick grabbed the contract with two fingers and almost wanted to tear it. She had taken the money from Howard, the heartbreaker. Didn't she feel ashamed of being aggrieved now?

"Amelia, you're so good at pretending to be an upright woman! If I hadn't seen this one billion with my own eyes, I might have been deceived by you forever!" "You-" Amelia argued, "Howard gave me the money voluntarily. When he gave it to me, he didn't ask me to help him. He even suggested that I shouldn't get involved in this. But you ruined his kindness. Patrick, don't you think you're letting the man who has brought you up down?"

Patrick sneered. "If you're not mercenary, why did you accept Dad's money? And you did it at such a time! He's on his own now, but he knows Grandma likes you. So he bought you off by one billion. Oh, I see. Maybe he and you have agreed on misleading Grandma into that proposal she just made in the living room!"

Amelia could not bear it any longer. "Patrick, if people had to take responsibility for their words, you would have been sentenced to life imprisonment long ago!"

Furious, she wanted to push him away, only to find herself held back by the overbearing man.

He pressed his rock-hard chest on her soft one as if he was trying to squeeze all the air out of her!
