Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 229

Amelia stepped forward as she tried to shake Shawn's hand.

Her heel snapped off in the next second and she leaned forward towards Shawn.

Amelia's only thought at this moment was, "Hollysh*t..."

Fortunately, a hand reached out in time and held her arm firmly to take her away from Shawn.

Shawn kept his hand out to catch Amelia, who was ready to fall on him the last second, and was carried away by Patrick the next, he thought, "What a piece of good luck."

It was really lucky.

The reporters hadn't completely evacuated the scene, and if Amelia had fallen into Shawn's arms at that moment, it would have been written off as her initiating the seduction of Shawn, and the conference would have been much less clarifying.

Ursula was equally tense for Shawn, and after seeing Amelia fall to Montpelier Patrick's side, he rushed to Shawn and said, "Let's get out of here."

As soon as Shawn left, due to the presence of other outsiders, Patrick dispensed with Amelia's hand, and before he left he said indifferently, "Be careful."

Patrick was extremely cold and completely emotionless, and Amelia knew that the unexpected near miss she'd just had would have a very bad effect, and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll take care of it."

Patrick was going to just walk away, but when he heard Amelia's pitiful voice, he couldn't help but turned back to her and said, "Follow me."

"I..." Amelia bit her lip in embarrassment, her gaze dropping to her floor- length dress, from an outsider's perspective they couldn't see her broken heels.

To maintain her balance, she was now standing on one foot on tiptoe, tilting like an out- of- control puppet.

"What's wrong with you?" Patrick asked impatiently.

Milton had been friends with Amelia for years and instantly recognized her discomfort, unlike Patrick and Shawn, he was different enough to talk to Amelia without necessarily attracting the attention of the press.

Milton stepped forward to Amelia and asked gently, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Amelia replied thankfully, "I'm having a little problem with my shoes."

Milton smiled a gentle smile, "Then I'll help you to the lounge and have someone buy you a new pair of shoes."

"Thank you." Amelia finally felt reassured, Milton was really her lucky star.

In the resting room.

Amelia sat down on the couch with Milton's help, then there was a "bang" at the door and someone opened it with great force.

Milton cocked an eyebrow and scoffed at the man who opened the door, "Mr. Hopper, why are you so rude?"

Patrick simply ignored Milton's sarcasm and stared with pride at a surprised looking Amelia, "Here are the shoes you want."

Afterward, he threw the shoebox to the ground.

Amelia answered with a jaw-dropping, "You... you buy the shoes so fast..."

Patrick was silent, because it was not that he was quick to buy shoes, but he was quick to get them, and after hearing that her heel had broken, he immediately returned to his seat and grabbed a pair of shoes he had prepared earlier in the day.

Today was an extremely important occasion for both her and the whole Roxxon. He would never allow anything wrong to happen between them. Therefore, before coming to the press conference, he asked his secretary to buy a pair of crystal-studded high-heeled shoes as a back-up.

This pair of shoes, which cost at least tens of thousands of dollars, was casually thrown away by Patrick, which seemed like it was a pair of shoes bought from Costco. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Amelia opened the shoebox, her eyes dazzled by those diamonds on her crystal shoes, and her mouth opened into an "0" as she exclaimed, "They're so beautiful."

Milton's looked at Patrick, who he'd always thought was bad for Amelia, and he'd even fantasized that they'd end the marriage sooner or later.

But Patrick was showing Milton that he had a thoughtful side, and while his mannerisms aren't gentlemanly, at least he was bringing the shoes over before Milton did, and that was the kind of action that got a woman's heart racing!

While Milton was thinking, Amelia had lifted her skirt and removed her old shoes, revealing her delicate bare feet.

Milton took aim and asked, "What's that hanging off your foot!"

Amelia subconsciously touched her anklet and spoke naturally, "It's the anklet he gave me."

Milton was doubtful as he aimed at Patrick, who was leaning in the doorway, and Patrick spoke slowly, "Director Cook, do you have any comment on my gift to my wife?"

"No!" Milton said word for word, but his mind was so confused that he was beginning to wonder what Patrick's attitude towards Amelia was.

Amelia put the shoes on and looked at Patrick with some surprise, "How did you know my size?"

Patrick stared at her delicate face and said playfully, "I know all the size of any part of your body."

Amelia was speechless.

Milton was very jealous and angry now!

Amelia got up from the couch and said to Milton who was sulking Patrick, "Milton, if you're free tonight, come over to my house for dinner and I'll make you your favorite chicken soup."

"Amelia!" Patrick narrowed his eyes in displeasure. "You are inviting him to have dinner at home?"

Amelia nodded gently to him and said sincerely, "Well, Milton has been my friend for many years and has helped me a lot. I've always wanted to find a chance to invite him to our home after my marriage. Can you just say yes?"

Patrick was going to say no harshly, but he couldn't resist Amelia's praying gaze, so he looked at Milton, who was rejoicing, and reluctantly said, "Well, I can agree to that."

"Yeah!" Amelia was so happy that she couldn't help rushing forward to hug Patrick. "Thank you!"

Patrick wrapped his arms around her slim waist and smiled at Milton, who was standing behind Amelia. Her face had suddenly turned unhappy.

In the car, Amelia took a few sips of water to moisten her throat and said to Patrick who was driving, "I want to go to a place before I go home."

"Where is it?"

"My home."

After hesitating, Patrick said honestly to Amelia, "Cynthia will have to have her stitches removed later, and I may have to go to the hospital to visit her."

"Well, go ahead. I'll take a car myself." Amelia was upset, but she didn't show any dissatisfaction. After all, it was enough for her that he was willing to be honest.

"Don't worry." Patrick leaned forward and stopped her from opening the door. "I'll take you to The Ramsay Family first."

Amelia's felt warmed and nodded in agreement.
