Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 267

Granny Hopper snickered, she didn't like Sissi at all, "Sissi's family business was controlled by my husband, so she couldn't fight back and must listen to us. Before Sissi left, she was so disheartened that left a breakup letter for Patrick. She thought he would fight for her to the end and chase her overseas..."

Amelia listened intently as Granny Hopper continued, "But she's wrong. The thing Patrick couldn't stand was not that they couldn't be together, but that she gave up so easily. It's not fair that there's only one person to give to, and that kind of love isn't fair. And because of this, it caused Patrick and his grandfather's relationship to deteriorate. Sissi made a lot of trouble for Patrick..."

Amelia understood. No wonder Patrick was like a different person when he heard Sissi's name. He had had his feelings hurt deeply.

However, he shouldn't be lashing out at Amelia.

The next day.

Patrick grabbed his laptop and took an early morning business flight.

His deliberate distancing was making Amelia feel bad.

Granny Hopper was drinking porridge, smiled, and said to Amelia, "Don't think too much about it, he'll be back in a few days."

Amelia was confused. She remembered that Patrick hadn't said exactly when he'd be back before he left, "Do you know when he'll be back?"

Granny Hopper nodded enigmatically, "I just know! The Hopper Family is having dinner with me in a few days and he'll be back for sure!"

Granny Hopper looked kind, so Amelia was stunned and didn't realize she had such a decisive style of doing things.

"By the way, you're new to Northville and haven't had a good rest, so I'll be taking you out in a couple of days," Amelia said thoughtfully.

"Okay!" Granny Hopper understood and said, "You're busy with your work. I won't delay you."

"No, Granny!" In fact, Amelia was ready to ask for leave from the company. It was not easy for Granny Hopper to come here, so she wanted to take care of her.

Seeing that Amelia was anxious to explain to her, Granny Hopper waved her hand and said kindly, "I know that you are afraid that I will be bored. Don't worry, I will find something myself. It will take a lot of effort to clean up such a big house, right?"

Granny Hopper seemed to want to turn her down, and Amelia immediately said, "There are cleaning ladies coming over to clean up this weekend, so just stay home, but don't do the other chores!"

"Alright." Amelia's twittering made Granny Hopper feel warm.

At Roxxon Corporation.

Although Patrick was away on business, morning meetings were still held under the auspices of the directors, and Amelia and her sales department were instrumental in the success of "The Water of Life”.

So the sales department finally outperformed the rest of the department this time!

As the top performer in the sales department, Amelia stood up and humbly said after hearing the praise from her leadership colleagues, "This is all thanks to Mr. Hopper. Without his planning, 'The Water of Life' would not have achieved the high sales results it has today."

Amelia's humble attitude was appreciated by the applause.

After the meeting, Amelia got a call from Jessica, "Hey, Jessica, it's me."

"Amelia, great, you're the one who answered the phone this time!" Jessica said deliberatively.

Amelia was confused, "You mean, I didn't answer the phone last time?"

Jessica responded, "The other night I was worried about your whereabouts so I called to see how you were doing and the person who answered the phone was Patrick and he sounded horrible! But I'm relieved to hear him say you're okay."

Amelia felt angry when she heard, "Speaking of which, I have something to say to you. Why did you send him that weird message? Do you know that I was..."

As if remembering something bad, Amelia shyly stopped talking.

"That... sorry, I was afraid he wouldn't come... so I just had to irritate him," said Jessica, getting cocky, "Without my text, you'd probably have been taken advantage of by the people Teresa brought with her!!"
