Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 878

"But later I was thinking, Amelia is innocent after all. She might not even know anything about the three of you! All she wants is to help her father's construction company!

Cousin, do you know why she mentioned your name at that meeting room? That's because she was doubted by those in the meeting when she first called out Patrick's name! Someone first brought up the rumors of Patrick having affair.

It was like casting a stone across water to make many ripples. More and more competing companies began to argue that their marriage was at stake. They even said that Patrick was going to withdraw his investment in Apex Construction Corporation at any time which might lead to the planning project being put on halt.

This suggests that Amelia was not any special to Patrick. Such a woman is completely useless for us. There is no way that we are going to make Patrick suffering by using her!"

Seeing Kaiden's aggressive reaction and tone as he spoke, a strange feeling began to creep on Sawyer.

Kaiden had never fancied any women before. Sawyer wondered if he had ever noticed that his

attitude towards Amelia had changed.

If this was the case, Sawyer was convinced that Amelia was in fact a capable person who managed to let Kaiden make an exception for her without him realizing at all.

Pulling himself from the thought, Sawyer replied calmly, "Can. If you wish to stop now, I'll respect your decision."

With great surprise, Kaiden wanted to confirm that he had not misheard, "Is that real, cousin?"

Nodding, Sawyer said, "If you don't believe me, later I'll bring up this matter on my own to Ms. Amelia. She will be notified that I've changed my mind."

Hearing this, Kaiden hurriedly said, "No! You can't do this!"

Sawyer stared at him in confusion.

Kaiden was feeling embarrassed upon being stared by his cousin. After all, he was the one who started the game. Yet it was him too that wanted to put an end to this game. He wondered if his cousin would think that he had made a fool of him.

"Cousin, take it as a favor I'm asking personally from you. Can you help Apex Construction Corporation? You're the only person that can help her now."

Sawyer fell into momentary silence. Under the nervous stare he received from Kaiden, he muttered

softly, "Yes."

Instantly, Kaiden put on a bright smile on his face and exclaimed, "Cousin, you're so supportive!"

Sawyer shrugged as if he had no other choice but to agree with Kaiden's plea. He said, "Fine, since now we've already reached mutual agreement. Don't you think you should go get our special guest back now?"

Upon being reminded, Kaiden came to realization, "Oh yeah! How can I forget this? I'm going to get her now. Oh by the way, can you get rid of these brain plasma and the dead monkey from the table? I lose all my appetite seeing them!"

With his expression calm, Sawyer made an order to the chef who was standing by the table all this while, "Get rid of them now."

Kaiden found Amelia right outside the mansion. All he could see was that she was leaning against a tree while murmuring to herself with her expression terrified still.

Kaiden came to her back on purpose. Shortening the distance between the two of them, he could hear her murmuring, "I don't mean to scare you. Don't be scared."

He wondered who was she murmuring to.

Kaiden could not help looking around just to confirm that there was no one around.

He was afraid that she might get so much shock from the dead monkey that she was undergoing psychotic episode.

Looking confused, he asked, "Amelia, what are you doing here?"

Amelia was taken aback by surprise when Kaiden suddenly called her from the back. At that time, she was in the midst of talking to her baby in the stomach.

As soon as she saw that it was Kaiden, she was irritated, "What's wrong with you? Why the hell you want to scare me?"

Kaiden replied innocently, "I'm the one being scared by you! Who are you talking to?"

Hearing this, Amelia tensed up a little as she muttered, "No one. I was just talking to myself."

Kaiden sized her up unconvincingly, "But I'm sure that I heard you saying 'don't be scared'."

Amelia persisted, "I'm telling myself not to be scared. Don't you remember what your cousin served on the table?"

As she said, the memory of the dead monkey flashed across her mind again. She could not help feeling disgusted.

Seeing that she broke out in a sweat, Kaiden knew that his cousin had indeed frightened her this time. He sought to comfort her, "My cousin does have some special preference when it comes to eating. But I've already asked him to remove it from the table. You don't have to be scared anymore."

Taking a glance at him, Amelia grumbled, "How could you regard it as 'special'? Your cousin has such an extreme taste! At first I doubted you when you warned me of your cousin. But right now, I completely believe you after I've seen it myself! But why would your brother serve the dead monkey in front of me? Is he trying to frighten me or give me some sort of warning?"

With an unnoticeable sigh, Kaiden assured her, "No, it's not like this. It's not what you think. Don't overthink it."

Yet to be recovered from shock, Amelia said, "Anyway, eating raw brain plasma of a monkey is totally something unacceptable for me! I've seen such thing on TV before, but this was definitely my very first time to see it myself. Have you seen it? It's eyes were wide opened when it was dead!'

Being remined by Amelia, Kaiden could feel his stomach churning nauseously, "I saw it just now. But it is just an animal anyway. My cousin is not the first person who eat it, and no doubt he won't be the last too. So, you don't have to feel scared. My cousin is a good person still."

His words had immediately sent Amelia into confusion. She muttered, "Kaiden, are you sure you're in your right mind? You're the one who told me to beware of your cousin when we were in the aquarium. Now you want to assure me that your cousin is a good person. Don't you think that this is self-contradictory?"

Kaiden's eyes flickered in guilt. Only he knew that he had said so because his cousin was no longer involved in the game.

Before he could explain himself, Amelia changed the topic, "Oh yeah, is Mr. Quartley aware that I ran out from his house?"

To avoid unnecessary embarrassment, Kaiden decided to make a white lie, "He doesn't know."

"Good then." Amelia nodded in relief and continued, "We should go back now. It's inappropriate to keep Mr. Quartley waiting."

Kaiden stared on her forehead which was still covered in sweat. He asked again, "Are you sure that you can do this?"

Noticing that what he was staring, Amelia raised up her hand to wipe off the sweat on her forehead before she assured him, "I'm good to go! I was just overreacting. As you said, it's not that your cousin is the only person who likes to eat monkey's brain.

After all, I'm too ignorant."

Upon returning to the dining table, Amelia was surprised by two things. Firstly, the brain plasma served together with the monkey had already been removed from the table. The opening at the center of the dining table was being replaced with exotic fruit platter.

She secretly felt relieved at this arrangement on the table.

She might be taking it light when she tried to reassure Kaiden. However, in fact, she was still dejected at the idea of eating monkey's brain. Had she been insisted on having her meal right in front of the dead monkey with its brain exposed in the air, she doubted if she could ever take in anything. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Secondly, she saw that Sawyer was already on the table. His eyes were irresistibly black which lured people into looking at them.

Despite his gorgeous look, Amelia had not forgotten his cruelty. She could not help keeping an eye on him.

Kaiden whispered to her, "You can take a seat now."
