Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 263

And Eve's another friend casually set her feet on the coffee table and chatted with Eve while painting her nails, shaking her nail polish all over the place in the meantime, those stains being the hardest to clean. Obviously, they were deliberately causing trouble for Amelia.

Amelia's hand gripped the vacuum cleaner tightly, Amelia cleaned it once, then a second and third time, and just when she could stand it no longer, the door clicked open.

Eve felt nervous and stood up and said to Amelia, "Okay, you go back to your room and don't be here."

Amelia snickered as Patrick returned and Eve immediately converted? This was hypocritical!

"Mom, I'm back." The special cough drops Eve wanted were not available at the regular pharmacy, so Patrick had to drive to the hospital to get a prescription for her, which took him over an hour.

"Hey, is Patrick back?" Eve looked at Patrick with a guilty look on her face, afraid that if Patrick spoke to Amelia, she would reveal herself, because that would be telling everyone that Amelia was The Hopper Family's daughter-in-law.

Patrick put the medication down and turned to Amelia, seeing her all covered in grime, with a vacuum cleaner in her hand and melon peels and nail polish spilled all over the floor. He seemed to understand something, but he didn't ask anything and said quietly, "You go upstairs and get some rest. I'll take care of this here."

Amelia hesitated before gently agreeing. Patrick had a reassuring strength about him and she trusted him to take care of things.

Seeing her up the stairs, Patrick turned around and sat on the couch, laughing indifferently, "Aunts, I let you into my house because you're all friends of my mom's, but now it looks like I made a bad

decision. You two are throwing trash around like street urchins, you have no basic qualities at all."

Eve's friends were embarrassed by his criticism, "Patrick, we're your elders..."

Patrick seriously interrupted, "If an elder doesn't know what to do and what not to do, what's the difference between them and an old fool? Do you need me to take you to the sanitarium?"

Amelia hadn't shut the door completely, overheard the conversation, and marveled at Patrick's level of cursing and how simple words could make them angry!

They replied angrily, "It's your mother who allowed us to do this!"

Patrick pondered, in other words, had Eve allowed her friends to toy with Amelia? It seems he shouldn't have gone out. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Patrick looked fiercely at Eve's friends in front of him, "I'm the owner of this house, and I could call the police on you for trampling on my house like that you know?"

Upon hearing Patrick's words, their expressions changed, "Patrick, it wasn't that serious!"

"Unless..." looking at how nervous they felt, Patrick crossed his legs and stared at them proudly, "unless you clean up the house back to its original neat and beautiful state, or I will keep pursuing this matter."

"Eve! How dare your son to treat us like this!" One Friend was angry. After all, she was a well- known figure. How could she allow to be humiliated by Patrick like this?

Eve was nervous, she still needed to be in their circle. Patrick treated her friends like this and she was sure she would be embarrassed to see both of them again later.

Eve heard them talking and suddenly didn't know what to do, so she said, "Patrick, forget it. It's my fault... Anyway, it's none of their business."

Eve didn't argue because she was seen as a typical good wife and mother with a husband's love and a son's respect, and to argue with Patrick at this point would be inconsistent with the image she'd built up over the years out there.

Seeing Eve's humility, Patrick smiled in satisfaction, after which he said casually, "Aunts, do you want to clean this house or not?"

Sh*t! Eve's friends were so angry that they couldn't say anything. They directly picked up their bags and slammed the door and left.

Eve was enraged and said loudly, "Patrick, you are so disrespectful!"

Patrick looked at his mom and said sarcastically, "I was actually going to tell them that if they don't want to clean, then I'll do it, but they were so impatient before I could finish my sentence."

Eve was speechless.

As Eve toyed with Amelia, a phone suddenly rang that would change Eve's following days dramatically.

"What did you say? You're coming over? That's not good, you're old and you're alone, let's wait for Owen, Patrick, and the others to visit you when they have time... What? You're off the plane in Northville! Okay, Patrick is here, I'll have him pick you up at the airport, okay, see you later..."

Ending the call, Eve turned back to Patrick, who was drinking black tea, and said worriedly, "Patrick, your grandma is in Northville and she wants you to pick her up now!"

Patrick quickly put his cup of tea down, stood up, and said, "Doesn't grandma have very high blood pressure? She can't afford to travel long distances. Are you sure she's not joking with us?"

"No! She said that she came alone, and she had already got off the plane and was waiting for us."

Eve was also anxious, but her anxiety was different from Patrick's. As soon as Granny Hopper came, she turned from an elder of The Hopper Family to a younger generation, and it was her turn to serve her mother-in-law.

But how could the well-dressed Eve do the work of serving others?

Patrick soon calmed down and said, "Wait for me here. I'll ask Amelia to go with us."

Eve was not happy to ask, "Why did you ask her to come with us?"

Patrick smiled faintly with pleasure, and he made sure to say, "Because grandma likes her."

On the second floor.

When Patrick opened the door, Amelia was staring at the laptop screen with empty eyes. He didn't know what she was thinking about.

For some reason, Patrick came up with an impulse to embrace her.

Feeling the arrival of Patrick, Amelia quickly closed the notebook and forced to smile at him. "Why are you here?"

She was hiding something, which made Patrick frown. They had been together for some time, but it seemed that Amelia could not open her heart to him.
