Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 371

There was one thing Amelia was most afraid of, and that was ghost. When she had just married into the Hopper Family, Florence had put some ghost movies in Amelia and Patrick's bedroom and almost scared Amelia to death.

Hobart let out two muffled laughs and gloated, "Why are you so nervous? That was my hand!"

She paused for a short while before getting furious. "Pervert, why were you groping about?"

"Alright, I know you're just unwilling to leave me. Let's just keep it this way." Hobart said as he ran his hand up to her shoulder in an unruly manner.

Amelia grabbed it and shook it off. She said angrily, "If you touch me again, I'll be rude and you'll be sorry!"

"When have you ever been polite to me? Stop wriggling..." Hobart mumbled.

As they were talking, they saw a strong light shooting toward them from the door. Amelia and Hobart blinked at the sudden light and turned their heads to the source of it at the same time. What they saw were Patrick's dark eyes.

"Oh!" Amelia came to herself first. Since there had never been a blackout in the company, she forgot that almost every office had a backup power supply in case of inconvenience caused by the power outage.

"Mr. Hopper..." She looked at Patrick, who had turned on the backup power, and had no time to realize how intimate Hobart and she looked in such a position.

When he saw that she was still unwilling to get up from Hobart, Patrick's eyes turned icy cold. He gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

"Was that real? He just left like that?" Hobart asked Amelia in surprise.

Amelia's eyes went dark slightly. Generally speaking, when Patrick was truly indignant, he left her alone directly.

"Hobart, I'm leaving." She turned around and said to Hobart before getting up and running in the direction Patrick had come.

Hobart touched his chest, which was still warm, and spoke out the true feelings of him as a single man. "If only there was a woman... willing to run after me without any hesitation."

Just as he had finished his sentence, his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket. Hobart took it out to have a look and was amused. When he put it through, his tone returned to the usual casualness. "Florence, didn't we just break up yesterday? You can't help calling me today. Are you falling in love with me?"

"Love you, my a*s!" Florence cursed. "I've been thinking about it again and again. My sister-in-law can work overtime any day she likes, but she does today of all days. Are you the one playing tricks?"

Hobart frowned. "Sister-in-law? Who are you talking about?"

Florence let out a short "Er" before she said with a quick wit, "Well, of course, I was talking about Amelia. To me, she is the most suitable woman to be my sister-in-law. I warn you, don't try to covet her, otherwise, I will beat the sh*t out of you!"

Hobart said disapprovingly, "She and Patrick don't even know each other. Isn't it too soon for you to call her sister-in-law? As long as we are unmarried, I have the right to go after her."

"B*llshit right!" Florence wished she could announce that Amelia had married into the Hopper Family. But when she thought of Patrick's gloomy face, she shut up.

Hobart seemed to have thought of something and asked in confusion, "Florence, tell me, did Patrick come to the company all of a sudden because you told him something?"

Florence said proudly, "I was just skeptical at first. I remember that when I was taking care of you in the hospital the day before yesterday, I accidentally told you about Patrick's birthday. As a

result, Amelia somehow went to work overtime. Don't you think it's strange?"
