Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 381

Patrick was caught off guard by Amelia's accusation. Did he go too far?

She was already so defensive when he hadn't done any practical harm to her friend. If he did hurt Jessica and her family, was Amelia going to blame him for the rest of her life?

Patrick's heart tightened.

One was Eve, and the other was Amelia. They should not have been comparable, but now he wavered!

The next second, the phone on the desk vibrated. Patrick let go of Amelia and put it through, "Mom?"

Eve burst into tears as soon as she heard Patrick's voice. "Patrick! Your father somehow found out our plan to act against Jocelyn and her family. He threatened me before he left that if we didn't change our mind, he'll leave with them to a place we would never know."

Patrick's fingers on his phone tensed up.

To avoid alerting them, Patrick started with Jocelyn's daughter. No matter how fast the news spread, Jocelyn should not have realized in the short time that it was him who was manipulating, not to mention that Howard could find out so quickly...

The only explanation was that Amelia had let the cat out of the bag on purpose!

Eve continued, "Patrick! Howard is the only one I love in my whole life. If he abandons me forthat home wrecker, I will die!"

If Howard was leaving for the sake of that woman, there was no way to hide the news. In that case, it would be a shame for both the Hopper family and the Watson family forever.

Eve started to suggest an extreme approach. "Patrick, how about this... We hire some hitmen to kidnap Jocelyn and kill her where no one is around? As long as she's gone, your father would have no one to go with him!"

Patrick frowned with annoyance and said, "Mom, we'll discuss this later. Don't take action on your own. If anything happens, Dad might run away in a fit of anger!"

After a short moment of surprise, Eve agreed with anxiety, "Well, I'll leave it to you. Do whatever you want to do. It's all up to you whether your dad will change his mind."

Up to him?

Even Patrick, who had always been obedient to Eve, felt a little powerless. His mother was weak in some aspects. It was she who wanted to win his father back, but she kept using Patrick as if he were her

tool.

But at the thought of how Eve had given birth to him after the long, torturous pregnancy and how had she spent great efforts to bring him up, what Patrick could do to repay her was to keep her from any harm or worries. This was his duty and responsibility.

Patrick put down his phone and glanced at Amelia coldly. "Did you tell Dad about what happened to Jessica?"

"That's right!" Amelia admitted without hesitation.

"You-" Patrick wished he could strangle her to death.

Amelia raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you angry? Because I inform your father without asking you? Don't doubt it. When I realized that you had hurt my good friend without asking me, my feeling was the same as yours."

Amelia didn't think that she had the strength to fight against Patrick. All she could rely on was Howard. Considering her position, she did not do anything wrong.

Patrick's eyes were disturbingly cold. "I just want my family to return to harmony as soon as possible, yet you are determined to mess things up. Okay, let's see whether your friends will go or stay. And this time, I won't be lenient anymore!"

Amelia suddenly realized how serious the problem was. Disregarding how he would look at her, she grabbed Patrick's arm. "You've robbed Jessica of her home and shut down her shop. What else do you want?"

Patrick wickedly curled his lips and said, "Doesn't she have a daughter? If the kid's real parents came to her, do you think Jessica would return their daughter to them from a moral standpoint?"
