Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 254

In the evening, on the Land of Fragrance.

Amelia returned home with mixed feelings. As she took off her heels with her back to the living room, Patrick came in her direction, enveloping her in his shadow.

Amelia's nose sniffed at the scent of tobacco that belonged exclusively to him, and she silently changed her shoes to see what he wanted.

Patrick stared at the back of her head, his voice serious, "Didn't I tell you to stay home? Why are you so late?"

Amelia turned back only to realize how close they were, her lips accidentally grazing his collar, leaving a shallow lip print.

She stepped back a little to buy herself space where she could escape, "A college friend of mine suddenly came over to see me, and I came back with her after shopping for makeup."

Patrick narrowed his eyes as if guessing at the truth of her words.

Amelia asked him back, "What about you, spending the whole day shopping with Cynthia?"

Patrick nodded slightly. "Yes."

He was honest. Amelia was too lazy to ask anything else. She bypassed Patrick and said, "I'm going to cook."

Patrick couldn't help but reach out and hold her as he saw her looking listless with her head down and explained, "On the 21 st of this month, Cynthia will be flying to the U.S. for in-depth treatment, after which I will send her to Germany to study fashion design, and if all goes well, she may never return to Northville."

Amelia was stunned.

Patrick continued, "I went shopping with her today to buy some essentials that are not available abroad, nothing more."

Patrick relaxed a lot after the explanation. A lot of things he didn't want to explain to her before because he didn't think Amelia was important. Now his mind was shifting, but he just didn't feel it deeply enough.

After hearing what he said, Amelia had a complicated look on her face, and she suddenly saw a glimmer of hope in this barren marriage.

Amelia reached out and offered to wrap her arms around Patrick's neck. Feeling his body relax immediately after a slight stiffening, Amelia smiled and rested her head affectionately on his shoulder, "I'm glad, I really am."

Patrick confused, "Why?"

Amelia smiled but didn't say anything.

He might not know how important his honesty was to her.

Amelia gently bit down on her lower lip and spoke the thought she had been hiding for so long, "Patrick, shall we try?

Intoxicated by Amelia's tenderness, Patrick was

stunned. "Try what?"

Amelia's eyes suddenly filled with hope as she stepped back from his embrace and said to him seriously, "I know our marriage was rushed and no one was ready for it, but we've been through so much together. We've even been through life and death together. Patrick, let's fall in love and see if we can love each other, okay? "

It took almost all of Amelia's courage to say that, and she watched him with bated breath as she waited for him to nod.

But Patrick turned abruptly, his back looking cold, "Sorry, I'm not ready. I'm tired, I'm going back to my room."

Amelia momentarily lost her mind. Until Patrick went up to the second floor and closed the study door, Amelia regained her senses but couldn't control her tears.

At least, she had already worked hard for this marriage...

In the study.
