Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

It was midsummer in the Northville with a temperature close to 38 Celsius degrees. Everyone complained about the burning heat.

In the coffee house, the breeze was blowing from the air conditioner. The three ladies sitting around the table were good-looking with their own merits.

"How is the business?" Lucy Reagen asked Jessica, the owner of the coffee house, while fiddling her hair.

Jessica shrugged her shoulders and said casually, "The same as before. Neither fed well nor starving."

Lucy's charming eyes drifted to Amelia who was stared at her mango shake and asked with curiousness, "The newly-married wife, why doesn't your husband come with you?"

Amelia was not in a good mood hearing this and threw back the question, "Why does he have to come with me?"

Since the dispute that day, she hadn't met him again. She heard from the high-level management of Roxxon that he had gone abroad for negotiation and no one knew when he would be back.

It had been almost a week since then but he hadn't even call her. She didn't call him neither as he might still be in the anger.

At the same time, Howard had their luggages packed and sent to the new house.

And he hired two housekeepers to clean the house. By the time when Amelia settled in, the vacant house, which was vacant for many years, had been renewed.

Lucy and Jessica laughed at her when they saw her in a deep thought in a frown, just like a young girl falling love with someone unreachable and asked, "Hey, did I ask improperly?"

Jessica thought highly of Patrick and began to praise him, "Your husband is not only rich and handsome, but also always ready to help others. You know last time I got trapped at home and fortunately, you guys came to help me out. That was your wedding day!"

Amelia felt embarrassed and immediately put a piece of mango meat into Jessica's chattering mouth, "Shut up!"

Jessica said with the mango in her mouth, "There's something I forgot to tell you. Jeff had moved with his family."

Amelia asked, "Why?"

Jessica answered, "I don't know. After Jeff was arrested, the service company grabbed almost everything away from his house."

Amelia continued asking, "Then how did his wife react?"

Jessica answered, "She had no other option but to make chaos, but the service company stopped her by cash. And... she was alone, so she had to make the decision herself."

Jessica swallowed the mango and continued, "I think, this issue must have something to do with your husband. He helped me because of you." "..." Amelia would not be so narcissistic as to think Patrick would love her.

Lucy held her head with one hand and said to Amelia with a soapy smile, "Wow, seems your marriage was a good deal!"

The ages of Lucy and Amelia were similar, but Lucy was more experienced than Amelia. Sometimes, Lucy didn't seem to be her best friend, but more like a mentor.

Just like this moment, Amelia was very humble and asked, "My dear, if a man, who gets well with you before, but suddenly turned furious with you after moving into a new house. Why?"

"New house? What do you mean?"

"Well... the new house is only for him and her." Amelia told her about her relationship with Patrick as the third person.

However, Lucy was incisive, and she immediately saw the root of the problem and indicated, "My dear, his rejection shows that he hasn't been ready to accept her."

Amelia asked with a frown, "But, they've already moved in?"

Lucy looked at her sympathetically and predicted, "Then he may try to drive her out, or... stay away from her."

Amelia was stunned as Patrick had been away for the so-called business for several days. Could it be said that he was staying away from her?
