Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 969

Patrick Hopper asked shamelessly, "And why is that so?"

Without thinking twice, Amelia blurted, "It's just that I think you're dirty. What's there more to say?"

Patrick's expression changed subtly and she noticed.

"I'm dirty?" Patrick grabbed her shoulders and pressed her against the wall even before she had time to react. With a low growl, he continued, "Ever since I proposed to you, I have never had physical intimacy with any other women. I've never greeted them with a kiss on the cheek. Not to mention get into a relationship with any of them! Don't misunderstand the fact that I protected Sissi and her child as their 'father' meant that I court every woman that I meet. I am never that desperate!"

Amelia was startled by his unexpectedly fierce response. Just as she was ready to respond, once again, she was left speechless from what he said.

Sheepishly Amelia stared at him as if she momentarily forgot how to reply.

"Listen carefully to what I'm about to say. Your body was indeed yours before we got married!" Patrick pressed his forehead against hers as harsh words continued to flow from between his cold lips. "Now, a man named Patrick owns you, and I'm the Patrick!"

His words sounded like a curse proclaimed upon her, haunting over her like a shadow. Flustered, Amelia struggled to escape from Patrick's grasp. "No..."

"I promised to sign an agreement with you because I didn't want to force you into a situation you can't get out from. Remember, although your body is yours in this short period of time, I can still claim back what is mine whenever I want to!" Although Patrick sounded gentler, he ultimately still had the final say. Amelia had no part to play in this matter.

He let go of her and loosened his grip right after he uttered those words, letting Amelia slide to the ground in despair.

Before Patrick walked away, he glanced at her one last time while trying his best to ignore the expression of anguish and struggle clearly displayed on her face.

Indeed, he had revealed too much of his true feelings to her. If she was not a fool, she would understand the intention behind his words.

At this moment, Amelia's thoughts and feelings were tangled in a knot as she squatted immovable on the floor.

This was her first time hearing from Patrick that he wanted to lead a clean and honest life ever since they got married!

He never bothered to explain these things in detail before. At most, he would deliberately tell her a brief statement and conveyed what he meant through his actions. This time, his sudden explanation was most likely to betrue!

Not only that, he also mentioned that he was not someone who would just accept any woman that came to him!

Did he mean that he would never reconcile with Sissi again?

Amelia cuddled her head with her hands. What a mess she was in...

Patrick strode out from his bathroom clad in a pristine white bathrobe, all the while maintaining his calm and collected demeanor unlike before. He was taken aback from the sight in front of him.

Amelia was in his room at this very moment.

He saw her standing at the edge of the window as she attempted to push open both windows in front of her. Patrick was not sure if it was because she was too weak, but for some reason Amelia just could not seem to open them up.

Observing this, Patrick's child-like impatience was aroused. He took a few steps towards Amelia and leaned against her back.

A pair of long arms stretched out from Amelia's shoulders and with a forceful push, the windows were finally opened.

The cool night breeze quickly rushed in all of a sudden, caressing Amelia's face. However, she was unable to enjoy its coolness because she was too aware of the warm body pressed against her back.

Just as she was about to turn around, Patrick's husky voice sounded in her ears. "Don't move. I've just showered and I'm still very much naked. If you cause trouble for me, then agreement will only be written tomorrow."

After understanding the meaning behind his words, Amelia immediately stopped moving.

The corners of Patrick's lips lifted, he was secretly amused at how gullible she was.

Amelia kept her back towards him and asked stiffly, "Can you please put on your clothes first?"

Motionlessly, Patrick leaned in closer and retorted, "Firstly, why don't you tell me the reason why you're here in my room?"

Amelia tried to swallow back the pressure of not being able to see him, yet being able to feel the pressure of his invasive nature. Instinctively, she replied, "I'm here to..."

"Wait a minute, let me guess first!" Patrick interrupted excitedly. He could not contain his happiness knowing that Amelia took the initiative to meet him first this time.

Amelia kept quiet. Sensing that this man's mood was pretty much unstable, she figured that it was better to listen to what he had to say first.

He stole a glance at her side profile and continued, "I guess you would've figured out what I have been thinking of already?"

Figured what out?

Figured out the fact that her body was his property?

Was this supposed to be a joke?

Patrick could use this reverse psychology method of his on other women instead!

"No." Amelia retorted, embarrassing him.

After a moment of disappointment, Patrick regained back his composure and pressed on, "Then, did you come here to relive your past experience?"

"No! You're overthinking this!" Amelia ground her teeth. She could not believe how he could be so indecent to her within three seconds.

No again?

Patrick raised his brows as his gaze trailed her line of sight. He tried his best to be romantic by asking further, "Was it because the moon from my room looks rounder to you? Or could you view more stars from here? Do you like observing them? I know that there's an organization overseas

that names all these stars. If you want, I can pay them to change all these stars above us into yours."

This did not sound like the Patrick she knew! He would never say these things to her! Amelia shivered and thought to herself. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, Amelia looked towards the stars in the sky and replied, "I think I might burst your bubble here, but it has been reported that the organization was a fraud. So, no matter how much money you want to invest to purchase all the stars above Northville, it's still impossible for you to quantify them! Stars never belong to one person only, but to all humanity"

After listening to Amelia's scientific explanation, Patrick continued, "Oh? Then I might as well start up a real organization. At least that way all the stars in the universe, not only the ones at Northville would be yours as long as you wish."

Was this man for real?!

Amelia felt a sense of helplessness, as if the real Patrick had been kidnapped by aliens!

Or maybe the person standing behind her was not Patrick, although they sounded the same!

Amelia was frightened by her own imagination. Horrified, she wanted to turn back to see him, but Patrick had completely enveloped her at this point.

His arms were locked around her waist, completely nullifying the gap in the middle of them.

Before the idea of Patrick strangling her flashed through her mind, he added on, "Mrs. Hopper, I am very happy."

She was stunned. "What are you happy for?"

"It's been months since you've entered my room."

Like a mutt, he burrowed his head at the nape of her neck and fondly it rubbed against her.

If Amelia had turned around at this moment, she would have seen that Patrick's handsome face was brimmed with smiles, and his terrifying facade had since faded away.

The way he entangled his body to hers was so tight that it would take Amelia a lot of effort to move, let alone turn around.

Patrick's excessively intimate hug aroused a feeling of discomfort within her. Exasperated, Amelia asked him, "Have you finished yet?"

"For the time being, I'm done talking." If possible, he would rather cuddle her on the bed and have pillow

talks there.

Then again, since she liked observing stars so much, Patrick was willing to make an exception for her as they looked out of the window together. This was, after all, his ultimate interest.
