Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 4

Most importantly, this is a commercial marriage. If Amelia refused, there could be more blind dates until she accepted to get married.

Rather than letting some possible mother-in-laws bully her for not being a virgin, she might just marry Patrick.-

Drinking the last bit of unwillingness and regret, Amelia picked up the Yixing clay teapot, pressed down on the lid and refilled the cups for George and Howard. She agreed to this marriage.

In the Hopper family.

There are in total of three floors in the Hopper villa. Not only did it cover a large area, but a big part of it was designated as the outer and inner yard. The road of the outer yard was paved with flat and smooth waterproof tiles for the security guards to drive seyway scooters on patrol. And the inner yard was paved with pebbles that formed narrow paths, leading to the entrances of different rooms.

Opening the anti-theft gate on the first floor of the villa with his fingerprint, Patrick walked into the spacious living room. A beautiful girl sat up from the leather sofa and waved at him, asking him to go to her.

Patrick sat down beside her.

Florence Hopper licked her ice cream and asked, "Oh dear brother, tell me. How does my future sister-in-law look? Does it suit your taste?"

Patrick was filled with anger without an outlet. Florence was technically adding fuel to his fire.

He snagged his sister's Haagen-Dazs ice-cream and her spoon without asking. Before she realized what happened, all Florence could see was just an empty cup.

Looking at her cup, Florence revealed her little white fangs and snared, "Who told you to always bully me? You deserve to be trapped in a marriage by dad! That's karma for you!" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Florence's words undoubtedly pushed Patrick's buttons. He didn't respond but crumbled the ice cream packaging into a ball.

Howard entered the living room right after and wanted to discussed with Patrick about the arrangements for the wedding in two weeks.

Patrick said indifferently, "Why bother with a wedding? All I need is a piece of paper."

Howard rejected his idea, "You might not care about how others think of you. The Hoppers still have a reputation to uphold. Reception or overseas, pick one."

Patrick waved his hand at his father, "We don't need all these. The more extravagant the wedding will be, the more humiliated you all will be when we get a divorce."

Howard flared up once he heard Patrick. "You're thinking about divorce BEFORE you even get married? Why do you want ruin this nice young lady?"

Patrick pursed his lips and said, "Father, can't you see that Amelia doesn't want this as much as I do?

I've already agreed to get married. Don't try to control what will happen at MY wedding! Keep this up and people might think that you are the groom."

After staring at his son for a few seconds, Howard made a compromise, "Fine. Wedding or not, as long as you talk to Amelia about it, I won't interfere any further, on one condition."
