Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 740

"Nora..." Amelia looked at Nora helplessly. However, she noticed Nora looked worried.

Amelia thought that Nora would not appear at the Land of Fragrance for no reason, so she asked seriously, "Nora, do you have something to tell me?"

Nora nodded her head in dismay and said, "Hmm, it's something to do with mom. I couldn't handle the problem myself so I had to discuss it with Patrick and you."

Amelia frowned and felt worried about Nora's words, "Then please come in."

Ashley was still stubborn. "No! I won't go in! Anyway you are a heartless woman and you don't really welcome us."

Gosh! Was this little girl watching too much soapy drama and got addicted? And she was trying to act like a drama queen.

Amelia pretended to be indifferent and said, "Suit yourself if you think of me like that. I will just welcome Nora and Andrew into the house. I believe that Rick will be very happy when it sees Andrew!" "Rick?" Ashley fell into the trap easily.

Ashley suddenly stretched out her little hands and grabbed the corners of Amelia's clothes. She said cutely, "Aunt Amelia, hug me. I'm going to enter the house to play with Rick."

Amelia knew that Ashley could not resist Rick!

Amelia snickered and leaned over to hold Ashley in her arms.

Ashley's baby smell made Amelia's heart soft.

Suddenly, out of the corner of Amelia's eye, she saw Andrew staring at her with longing in his eyes. However, he did not say it out loud. Her mood became more indescribable.

If it were not for their weight, Amelia really wanted to hug them with both hands.

However, she could only say sorry to Andrew silently in her heart.

As Amelia held Ashley in her arms, Nora lowered her head and held Andrew. They walked pass a small path in the garden and appeared at the entrance.

When Amelia pulled out a hand which was placed under Ashley's bottom and was about to press the doorbell, she heard a 'click-clack' sound behind the door. Then the door was opened.

Amelia gazed up and she did not have time to say hello to Huxton before she heard Ashley's high pitch shouting, "Wow! What a handsome man!

Aunt Amelia, you actually hid such a good-looking

man in the house, I'll tell uncle later!"

The corners of Amelia's mouth twitched. "Ashley, first of all, things are not like what you're thinking. Besides that, this guy is the butler and your uncle knows him."

Ashley was being silent.

Amelia side glanced at Ashley who kept looking at Huxton. Amelia doubted whether Ashley listened to her words.

Huxton reacted to the Hopper Family's little princess's gaze calmly. Then he addressed her respectfully, "Hi Miss Ashley, it's my first time meeting you. I'm Huxton and I'm the butler here."

"Little Hux!" Ashley returned Huxton's politeness by giving him a nickname.

Huxton replied with a 'hmm' as a response. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

After that, he looked at Nora and Andrew with a calm expression, "Madam Nora, hi, Andrew."

Nora looked at him in confusion and replied softly, "Nice to meet you."

Huxton turned and said to Amelia, "Madam, I'm going to make some tea."

"Sorry to trouble you," Amelia assented.

After Huxton turned and leave, Nora whispered into Amelia's ear, "When did Patrick and you hire a butler?

Besides that, how did he know us?"

Amelia explained while changing shoes, "Huxton has worked for Patrick since a long time ago. The reason he knew you, it might be because Patrick mentioned you before."

Nora thought for a moment and still felt that something was not right. "But just now he opened the door for us before we could even press the doorbell?"

"It's because..." Amelia could not tell Nora that Huxton had installed a listening bug on her. This might will scare Nora to death.

Amelia could only say, "There's a CCTV at the door. He recognized me so he came and opened the door."

"I see." Nora was convinced.

In the living room.

Ever since Ashley saw Huxton, she totally forgot about Rick and kept pestering this handsome man.

As for Rick, he was really friendly and kept chasing Ashley around.

As a result, Rick suddenly became the third wheel among Huxton and Ashley.

Ashley asked, "Little Hux, how old are you this year?"

Huxton remained silent.

Rick barked, "Woof, woof, woof!"

Ashley asked again, "Little Hux, do you have a girlfriend?"

Huxton was still in silence.

Rick barked, "Woof, woof, woof!"

Ashley asked again, "Little Hux, how much do you earn per month? Can you support a family?"

Huxton did not say anything

Rick barked again, "Woof, woof, woof!"

Nora who sat on the sofa and received the black tea passed by Amelia, said helplessly, "I'm sorry. My kids make so much noise when they're at your house."

Amelia looked at the boy sitting next to her behaved like a little gentleman. She said to Nora, "No, they're not noisy at all. These kids are so cute. It's usually quiet at home. However, the house is more lively when they're here. By the way, are you busy with your business recently? Why are you become so thin now?"

Nora's eyes darkened. She turned to Andrew who had been sitting straight the entire time and said, "Andrew, go and play for a while. I have something to tell your Aunt Amelia." "Okay, mom." Andrew

put his bag down, got off the sofa and joined her sister who was nearby.

"Nora?" Amelia probed carefully.

Nora let out a long sigh and recalled, "This matter started after the Christmas. Did you not know about Ashley quarrelled with mom because of Rick?"

When Nora saw that Amelia nodding her head, she continued, "Not long after, an etiquette teacher suddenly came to the house and said that she was introduced by mom. She came specially to teach Andrew and Ashley etiquette and manners. I called mom and asked her for confirmation. She admitted that the teacher was indeed hired by her."

"This..." Amelia scratched her head and said uncertainly, "This is a good thing."

The corners of Nora's mouth twitched as a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes. "I don't wish to probe deeper about mom's intention. However, there's definitely something wrong with this teacher!"

Amelia was surprised. "What's the problem?"

Nora glanced at Amelia and her gaze made Amelia unconsciously nervous. "One day, when I got off work and returned home, I actually saw her walk out from my master bedroom!"

Amelia gasped and said, "What? Is that teacher male or female?!"

Nora's tone sounded a little melancholic. "If the teacher was a male, I wouldn't be so nervous..."

Amelia said firmly, "No! Owen is not this kind of person!"

"Yes, I also believe that he is not that kind of person It's just that this teacher often uses the two children's homework as an excuse to find opportunity to spend time alone with Owen.

Moreover..."

Nora's calm expression suddenly turned into anger as she said, "She even slandered me in front of Andrew and Ashley!"
