Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1568

"Maryanne." While Maryanne was feeling complicated, Milton held her hand. He gently caressed her scars with his finger and said, "I'm sorry about what happened just now."

"Which one are you referring to?"

"About my inappropriate talk with Amelia." Milton stared at her eyes and said sincerely, "From now on, I will try my best to forget about her and be with you wholeheartedly. Maryanne, can you give me another chance?"

Maryanne narrowed her eyes. Why did he still refuse to let go of himself when she had already given him the chance to get rid of her?

After a silent sigh, Maryanne stopped looking gloomy and put on a magnanimous smile. "Of course I can spare you another chance. Since I can't help but love you after all."

After letting out a sigh of relief, Milton said, "Then don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"

"Why should I compromise with you so easily? I am always known for my bad temper. Back home, my father and brother would try every means to coax me once I got angry."

Maryanne said as she poked on his chest. "What's more, you kissed me without my permission. It was my first kiss!"

Milton looked shocked. "Was it your first kiss?"

Maryanne was displeased. "Hey! Why are you looking so shocked? Don't you trust me?"

Milton found himself harsh and smiled apologetically. "I trust you."

Maryanne narrowed her eyes and asked suspiciously, "Do you think I'm even a promiscuous person other than being ignorant and incompetent?"

Milton was having a difficult time again. "Maryanne, can you not act like a little hedgehog? I was just too surprised, so I asked further. If I have offended you, I apologize."

Maryanne saw his sincerity as he apologized, so she said, "Forget it. You just don't know how to speak properly. I shall not bother arguing with you."

Then, she pointed at the laptop beside him with her chin. "Return it to me."

But Milton insisted, "You may just take your lesson after breakfast."

Maryanne had been unwilling to eat because she was angry. But after the incident, her anger was mostly vented. So she gave herself an out since he suggested. "Alright, since I feel hungry now."

Milton smiled. "Let's go. I've prepared your favourite dish."

When they walked to the door, Maryanne suddenly hit him with her elbow softly. When he looked over, she asked awkwardly, "You said to be my teacher. Do you still mean it?"

Milton replied gently, "If you wish for it, then it's a deal."

"Oh, then I'll take it." said Maryanne in an arrogant tone.

Milton could not help but smile when he saw her holding in her joy.

But, his smile gradually faded. Had Maryanne really not heard what he had said to Amelia?

He quietly turned to look at her, only to see her calm and relaxed expression. She was completely natural that she did not look suspicious at all.

Yet Maryanne seemed to sense something that she looked at him. She immediately caught his gaze that he failed to avoid in time. "Why are you looking at me?"

Milton managed to give an accurate response in time, "Maryanne, you're so beautiful."

Maryanne raised her brows and asked in a proud yet slightly dissatisfied tone, "Did you just realize it today?"

The corners of Milton's mouth twitched and he added, "Of course not, but you look extra beautiful today."

After circling around him, Maryanne suddenly raised her hand and quickly wiped his lips. She then placed it to her lips and licked it. "Hmm, why is it so sweet?"

Milton was originally at a loss because of her sudden attack, but when he heard her say so, he could not help laughing, "Didn't you complain that I never say sweet words to you? How was it? Does it count?"

Maryanne finally understood and said, "Yes, you shall keep going and praise me every day."

Milton followed her orders and said, "Okay, Maryanne, you're very beautiful."

Maryanne was satisfied. "Mm, great, with the first one just now. You've praised me twice. It's more than enough for today. You shall keep up the great work starting tomorrow."

"Sure." Milton agreed.

Both of them had hidden their true selves while probing and competing with each other. As for how sincere they were, neither of them could tell.

At Land of Fragrance in Northville.

When Amelia was lying on the sofa watching TV, the phone beside her suddenly rang. She picked it up and asked, "Hello? Who is this speaking?"

When she heard the answer from the other side, she immediately sat up straight and said politely, "Oh, it's Uncle Quartley."

"Amelia, I haven't contacted you for a while. How have you been lately?"

"I'm fine."

Of course she could not say that she was kidnapped by his son, right? Amelia went humorous in her heart.

Noticing that he was looking at her, Sissi subconsciously showed an uneasy look.

Sawyer gave her a comforting smile and said to Ryan, "Yes, is there any problem with that?"

"Oh, in that case, you can bring her over to have a meal tomorrow noon. There should not be a

problem, right?"

Ryan's casual words indirectly pressured Sawyer, "Dad, as you know, I haven't returned to your place for a long time. I've almost forgotten the way back."

Ryan said, "You can make it at any other place as you wish, as long as you can bring her out."

Sawyer replied perfunctorily, "Both of us are busy with work recently."

Ryan's voice finally turned cold. "To the point that you don't even have time to have a meal together? Seems that you're not dating Amelia at all."

Sawyer could tell that Ryan was implying something. "Dad, since you already know, why are you still asking?"

"You br*t!" Ryan finally could not hold his anger. "Why did you lie to us?!"

Sawyer snorted. "Didn't Amelia tell you the reason?"

"No, Amelia only told me that you weren't dating her!"

Had she truly not exposed Sissi's residence in Streams Villa?

Sawyer could not help but look up at her. Although their stances were different, she was indeed a frank person. With comparison, his actions seemed to be a little more despicable.

"Since you weren't dating Amelia, why did you harass her that day? She's a decent lady. How dare you mess around with her!"

Sawyer raised his eyebrows and went along with Ryan's rebuke, "I'm a frog while she's a princess. I know I'm not worthy of her. It's just right that you don't have to feel pity for our relationship."

"Sawyer!" Ryan took a deep breath and said after a while, "Even a woman like Amelia can't win your heart. Then what kind of woman do you like?"

Sawyer's deep gaze turned to Sissi again and he said in an unhurried manner, "What kind of woman do I like?"

Seeing him looking over, Sissi hurriedly waved to him anxiously, asking him not to reveal her whereabouts to Ryan.

"Considering my preference on women..." After giving her a comforting look, Sawyer continued to say to Ryan, "Didn't you already know it a few years ago?"
