Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) -
Chapter 576
"Amelia, have another one with me!"
"Milton, you're drunk, you need to stop!"
Watching Milton was so drunk, Amelia quickly reached out and grabbed the cup from his mouth.
"Give it back!" Milton began to throw a tantrum.
Amelia said even more imposingly, "I'm not giving it back to you, it's time for you to go home!"
"One glass... One last glass..." While mumbling, Milton's head lowered until his forehead laid on the table, quiet except for his breathing.
Helplessly shaking her head, Amelia pulled out a few hundred dollars bills from her wallet and paid the bill. Then, she put one of Milton's arms around her shoulders and left the restaurant with difficulty. "You really should start losing weight!" Arriving at her car and panting, Amelia turned her head and looked at Milton, who was blacked out. After that, she sighed and shoved him into her car.
Looking at the unconscious Milton at the entrance door, Sierra let out a long sigh. "Amelia, sorry to trouble you."
With help from Sierra, Amelia successfully assisted Milton to the sofa in the living room. "Aunt Sierra, I'll go back first."
"Amelia, wait a minute. Aunt Sierra has a question, Milton told you that he's going to England, right?"
"Yea, he said he's going with Maryanne." Seeing that Sierra was cheerless about it, Amelia said with understanding, "Aunt Sierra, after Milton leaves, if there's anything you need help, you can tell me anytime. You know, my mother passed away early, and I have always regarded you as my mother too."
Consoled, Sierra nodded in response. "Amelia, you're a good girl, for real. It's a pity that our Milton doesn't have this luck."
Two days later...
Amelia appeared at the airport and only saw Milton. She looked around and asked in confusion, "Where's Maryanne?"
Milton's eyes flashed. "She went to buy gloves."
Amelia breathed a sigh of relief. On the way here, she had been thinking about what to say to Maryanne when they meet. Fortunately, she was not here for the time being.
She then opened her arms wide, which took Milton slightly by surprise, and said graciously, "Give me a hug. I wish you a safe journey!"
Warmth spread in Milton's gaze, and he opened his arms to hold Amelia carefully as if he was handling a piece of precious treasure. "Amelia, I'm sorry..." Amelia heard him and raised her head to look at him. She asked, "Why did you say sorry?"
"
Milton pressed her pretty face back onto his chest and said in greed, "Don't move. Let me hold you for a while. I don't know when I'll come back once I leave." "Okay..." To be honest, Amelia did not want to say goodbye to him either.
Coincidentally, this intimate moment happened to be captured by a paparazzo who recognized Amelia on his way and followed her here with hidden cameras.
"Huh, I didn't expect to find something more exciting than any celebrity. With this, the boss has no choice but to give me a raise." With a rapacious smile, the paparazzo hid the camera and blended in with the crowd.
On the other hand, Maryanne, who had come back from buying gloves to look for Milton, accidentally witnessed Amelia and Milton embracing each other in a hug.
Maryanne was startled and wanted to leave them alone, but Amelia saw her. A strange look flashed across both of their faces.
"Maryanne's here." As she finished, Amelia took the initiative to break away from Milton's hold.
As soon as he heard the name, a hint of disgust appeared on Milton's face, but he adjusted himself instantly and concealed it very well. Maryanne, who was discovered, did not approach them. Instead, she chose to stand at the ticket entrance and waited quietly for Milton. Milton gently said to Amelia, "Then I'm going to leave now. Take care of yourself. As for my mom, go see her whenever you have time." "Sure! Remember to call me when you land in England." Amelia punched him in the chest, letting out some of her urge to cry at his departure. He then raised his hand and ruffled her hair as harshly as he did when they were young. Milton took a long, last look at Amelia and left.
"Have you finished talking to her?" Maryanne's lips curled into a smile as she looked at the handsome man walked towards her.
Milton hummed in reply airily and looked at her bandaged hand, "Didn't you say that you went to buy gloves? Where are the gloves?"
"In my left pocket. Please help change it for me." Maryanne turned her side, exposing a bulging
pocket to Milton.
He reached into Maryanne's coat pocket with his long fingers and retrieved a pair of furry white gloves within seconds. He looked at Maryanne and said, "Your hand." "Here." Maryanne slowly lifted her hand. Apart from her ten fingertips, the rest of her hands was wrapped tightly in gauze.
Milton asked despite knowing the asnwer, "Does it hurt?"
Maryanne shook her head. "No. Before I left the hospital, the nurse gave me a painkiller."
Milton did not ask her if it truly was not painful or if she was pretending to be strong. He simply said, "Bear with it for a while."
With that, he opened the glove and slowly placed it onto Maryanne's fingertips, pulling it closer towards the back of her hand bit by bit.
Maryanne stole a glance at him in the process and saw that he was holding his breath in focus. She could not help but laugh. "Aren't you a little too careful? Ah!"
Seeing Maryanne's smile turned to crying out in pain, Milton let go of her hand in reflex. "I'm sorry, I've hurt you."
Maryanne made a face at him as if nothing had happened. "I lied to you, you fool!"
Milton knew that she was in actual pain, so he uttered with complicated feelings, "I'll try to be gentle."
"Okay!" Maryanne smiled sweetly.
When Amelia was leaving the airport hall, she cast a glance in the direction of Milton.
He was lowering his head to help Maryanne put on her gloves. She was not curious about Milton's care toward Maryanne, it was instead why were both of Maryanne's hands bandaged? With a shrug, she decided not to think about it. After all, she was not close with Maryanne.
The next day, at Timothy Village.
"What the f*ck!" The secretary, who was lying on her bed and scrolling on her iPad, had a change of expression when she stumbled upon a set of photos.
"What's wrong?" The female teachers in the same room as the secretary expressed their great interest in her shock.
"Nothing!" As soon as the secretary finished speaking, her iPad had been blatantly snatched away from her hands by somebody.
The female teacher who took the iPad cried out excitedly, "Everybody, this is the latest gossip! Amelia and Milton of The Cook family was caught hugging in public. She seems to be having an affair. There's also a photo of them from the side! Wow, they're so engrossed with each other!"
The secretary angrily rebuked from the side, "You guys believe in these photoshopped pictures? You all must be blind!"
One of the teachers replied curtly, "Maybe this is her true colors! This Amelia already has an outstanding man as her husband, how could she still wants to cheat on him?"
"If you continue to spew nonsense, trust me, I'll let you pack your luggage and get out of here at once!"
