Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 287

Florence deliberately said, "Grandma, don't you get it? Patrick is obviously reluctant to grant leave because he can't see his wife in the office.

Hearing this, Amelia cast a questioning look at Patrick, she didn't believe he would want to see her in the office.

Her confused look made him nervous, and he was as confused as she was, but he soon convinced himself that he wasn't relying on her at all!

"Then tell the personnel department yourself that you are asking for leave." After finishing this sentence, Patrick didn't say anything more.

Amelia was stunned. Did he allow her to ask for leave?

Although it was nice, for some reason she felt a little lost, probably because Patrick was proving that he didn't care about her by not responding to Florence's question.

"Amelia, I'll go back to my room and make a shopping strategy. We'll set off at nine o'clock!"

Florence was happy that Patrick allowed Amelia to take the day off, and she was just about to get up from her seat when Ashley, who had been silent, said, "Auntie Amelia, you haven't braided my hair yet."

Amelia looked at Ashley's sleepy brown hair, smiled, and said, "Come on, let's go to my room."

So Florence was just ignored...

Glancing at Florence's dismayed face, Patrick took a sip of black tea from his teacup to hide his shallow smile.

Now that Andrew, Florence, and Grandma all preferred Amelia, did it seem that all he has left is Ashley? Although Ashley was very young, she was very smart.

In the room, after Amelia gave Ashley a haircut that she thought looked good on her, she put down the comb and said, "I'm done!"

Ashley bobbed her head around in the mirror, looked at the two ugly braids, and just said, "It's not pretty at all!"

Amelia was surprised and suddenly remembered that Nora owned a hair salon and that Ashley must be very demanding in terms of styling, "So tell me, what kind of hairstyle do you want?"

Amelia's open- minded attitude endeared her to Ashley, who gestured with her little hand to the top of her head, "To this... and then to this...."

Under Ashley's guidance, Amelia braided her new braid, which hung softly on Ashley's side cheek, making her look sweet and cute.

"You see, if it gets in the way, I can even pin it behind my ear with a clip..." Ashley demonstrated, and Amelia was impressed.

Finishing up her image, Ashley spun around in her chair and asked Amelia, "Are you going to take us to school with Uncle Patrick?"

Amelia explained, "Uncle Patrick is taking you to school, and I'll pick you up from school."

Ashley lowered her head to shield her thoughts, "But..."

Seeing that she was about to speak, Amelia hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"The teachers at our school are very strict in checking people. Before, my parents were the ones who picked me up and dropped me off, and the teachers remembered them. If you were to suddenly pick me up from school instead, they would mistake you for a human trafficker and not let you into the school."

"I can wait for you outside the school."

Ashley disagreed: "Andrew and I are so cute, we'll probably be taken away by the bad guys as soon as we walk out the door of the school. Usually, our mom will be waiting for us in front of the classroom after school. But... It turns out we're not your kids, so we can't ask for much..."

Hearing her self-pity tone, Amelia suddenly felt that she was irresponsible. She blurted out, "Well, I will go to school with you, and personally take you to the classroom so that your teacher will be familiar with me.

Ashley quickly turned from sad to happy. She put her arms around Amelia's neck and kissed her on the face, "You are the best!"

In the living room.

Ashley came to Patrick and smiled sweetly like candy. "Uncle Patrick, I've done all the things you told me!"
