Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 776

Complicated emotions were rushing in Amelia's heart. Since Howard had the magazine with him, he must have seen the photo of Patrick carrying Sissi in his arms on the street. And the reason why he took it out at this moment was undoubtedly to ask for an explanation from Patrick!

Noticing both of Patrick and Amelia's eyes were glued to the magazine cover with thoughtful expressions on their faces, everyone present, except Eve, guessed that Patrick and Amelia might have already found out what was in the magazine.

Since that was the case, then there was no need to beat around the bush. Howard asked right away, "What's going on in here? Why are you hugging a strange woman on the street?"

The words 'strange woman' hit Patrick and Amelia's hearts like a brick, triggering different reactions from them.

Naturally, Patrick was pleased! It suddenly came to him that the pictures only showed a little of Sissi's face from the angle the photos were taken, insufficient for others to recognize her identity.

As for Amelia, she was ladened with worry!

How she wished she could hear Howard give Patrick a good scold for being in contact with his former lover, for being blindsided, and for being so unempathetic with his actions!

However, Howard and the rest at the scene did not notice the key takeaway from the photos. They had all regarded Sissi as an ordinary thirsty b*tch and dealt with her that way!

And how could Amelia accept this?

"Dad..." Amelia parted her red lips and was about to speak when Patrick threw her a glare, warning her with a wave of demanding and cold anger.

Amelia's impulse halted mid-sentence under his icy, menacing glance.

His eyes were clearly indicating that if she dared to rat him out even by a little, she would be dead!

And right because of that reason, his unconditional protection of Siss made Amelia's heart ached.

Though Amelia's cry of 'dad' was short-lived, Howard still heard it. Immediately after that, it came to his attention that Patrick's reaction was outright threatening her!

Discontented with Patrick's attitude, Howard took the initiative to ask Amelia, "Do you have something to say to me? Just tell. I'll put you first!"

Amelia raised her head and looked at Howard with a kind of unspeakable pitiable look welling in her eyes.

At the same time, Patrick's gaze on her face grew sharper as he stared at her from the side. And his palm, which was intertwined tightly around her fingers, tightened.

It hurt Amelia so badly that she wanted to withdraw her hand, but his grip was so firm that she could not budge.

At the thought that he was injuring her like this because of another woman, her pristine eyes could not help welling up with tears, and her rebellious sentiments were burgeoning!

"Dad!" She spoke again, and this time she risked everything and cried out, "I have something to say about that woman's identity!"

Amelia! Ramsay!

What a bold move, Amelia!

Patrick's eyes were filled with such a sharpness that it almost pierced through Amelia's heart!

But how could Amelia just sit there and await her doom? At this point, she would meet her demise no matter what she said. And if that was the case, she would drag Sissi under the bus with her before wrath fell upon her!

"Dad!" Amelia called out again. Howard and the others were caught at the edge of their seats, their intuition telling them she was about to reveal something earth-shattering!

"Wait a minute..." Patrick's eyes were blood-red. Like a snake sticking out its venomous tongue, he leaned into Amelia's ear and whispered so softly that only she could hear him, "Amelia, you're looking for death!"

Upon hearing him, a flash of pain appeared on Amelia's expression. The moment she revealed Sissi's identity, her relationship with Patrick would break for eternity, unmendable. And the child in her womb would not have a father, and her company was also likely to take hits from his crazy revenge on her...

Should she reveal the truth?

"Patrick, let her speak!"

Just when Amelia was slightly shaken from Patrick's threat, Howard's words pulled her back to her senses in time. Call her shameless, but she could not bear for Sissi to live a carefree life. So... She was going to say it!

"Actually, the woman in the picture is... Hmm!"

The rest of her sentence was drowned out under Howard and the rest's anticipation because Patrick had just swallowed her words!

Amelia's heart was pounding against her ribcage.

The thumping in her chest was not because of embarrassment. It was because she was enraged!

Why was Patrick kissing her? Wasn't he just doing it to shut her up!

In other words, he was shutting her up to shield Sissi's identity from being exposed!

Watching them as they sprang into action out of the blue, everybody next to them had no idea how to react! Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Even Eve, who had always been unruly and rude with her remarks, was only gaping at them with her face fuming and livid. Why did it have to be Patrick who threw himself at her?

If Amelia were the one who started this, Eve would definitely publicly berate her for having no sense of shame!

Entrapped in a violent kiss in Patrick's arms, Amelia was shocked beyond words. And when she sensed that he was kissing her so deeply and endlessly as if he wanted to smother her, she aimed her hand at the back of his waist and pinched him.

But he did not flinch at all! In fact, he was kissing her even harder...

Amelia was infuriated at his lack of response. What was more painful than pinching him? It was to pinch him a second time!

Hence, she employed her best effort and pinched his hard back muscle once more!

In return, Patrick let out, "Hmm..." His barely concealed moan was caught on by everyone at the scene as if he had lost control of himself and whining all over the place...

At the sound of that, Amelia's face could not help blushing and secretly cursed Patrick for his lack of decency!

Seeing Patrick being so riled up by Amelia, Eve could not help herself from shouting in a low voice, "Patrick, that's enough! Look at what you're doing!"

The kiss then came to an end. Very slowly, Patrick pulled away from Amelia. There was a ball of flaming anger blazing in Amelia's heart, and she had not lost her sense of thought from that kiss. On the contrary, when she met eyes with Howard, who watched everything unfold, her face flushed.

Though it was just a kiss, because Patrick and Amelia were extremely attractive people, it was quite a scene to watch. Amelia's lips were slightly swollen and half of her body went limp, half leaning into the arms of the handsome and tall Patrick. From this, it could be seen how strong Patrick was and how delicate Amelia was...

Raising his fingers to touch his pair of thin lips Amelia bit through, Patrick then stared at her with instability in his eyes.

He had just kissed her with the idea of stopping her from speaking, but his intention then changed along the way. If it were not Eve's yell, he would probably get wild and devour her whole, wouldn't he?

Noticing that Amelia was trying to squirm out of his arms, Patrick put his arms around her shoulders in arrogance and leaned over, whispering as if lovingly, "If you dare to expose Sissi, I'll pull out your tongue..."

Hearing that, Amelia's eyelashes fluttered along with the tremble she felt in her body.

And with such a sight, Patrick knew he had successfully frightened her.

To tell the truth, he knew he could not let this happen from the get-go. Sissi was like a taboo in The Hopper Family, and he could not bear it to watch as the tragedy from so many years ago repeat itself before him!

After dispelling the iciness in his stare, Patrick then raised his hand and tenderly brushed aside Amelia's hair from her cheeks. He looked at the rest with a smile and said politely, "Please excuse me. My wife is so charming tonight that I couldn't control myself."
