Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 454

After experiencing the Christmas celebration for a day, Amelia was tired. As she sat in Patrick's car, she pinched her shoulder and said, "I have never dealt with so many relatives at once. I wish I could split myself into several clones to help me with the work!"

Patrick's curled his lips and let out a smile. "The number of visitors today is not as much if compared to the main event tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Amelia was scared as she let out a few coughs. "What did you say?"

Patrick said in a calm voice, "Today is the first day of the Christmas celebration. A lot of them would stay at home and enjoy their day before visiting their friends and relatives. Therefore, those that you've seen today are just a small part of the family."

Amelia patted her chest and swallowed her saliva. Then she asked, "Then... Then I would still need to be a monkey here tomorrow?"

"Monkey?" Patrick pondered over this word.

Amelia said gracefully, "Yes, I've been like a monkey today, didn't I? I've been surrounded by people all the time."

Patrick looked distressingly at Amelia. He then encouraged her, "You did a great job today. I think they are very satisfied at you."

While grinning, Amelia patted her bag on her laps and said, "I'm very satisfied too as I've received a lot of gifts today."

Patrick looked at her attentively and said, "It seems that you are good at seeking joy amid hardship."

Amelia tilted her head and thought about it for a second. "It isn't a hard task except for some questions that are really hard to answer. Besides, your brothers and sisters are really friendly and they are all famous people in the society, knowing more about them might be good for your future."

"My future?" Patrick found what Amelia said was somehow funny.

Amelia smiled at him, "Yeah, I know you are a cold person, so it would be better for me to coordinate your relationship with them. If we manage to establish a good relationship, it will be easier for us to ask them for help in the future, isn't it?"

Although Patrick knew that she was doing this for his sake, he was still unhappy. "Do you think there's anyone much more capable than me in my family?"

Amelia glanced at him, "Yes, your nephew. Although he is only seven years old, he does have something that he's better than you."

Patrick raised his eyebrows. "What is it?"

"Gaming!"

For the first time in his life, Patrick had been looked down upon in such a respect.

Amelia, on the other hand, was still thinking about the previous question. "You haven't told me whether I should come tomorrow or not."

Patrick decided to give her freedom. "Well, it's up to you, you can choose to come or not to."

Amelia was stunned for a while. "What? Is it really so random?"

Patrick drew the hairs on her cheek to the back of her ears and said, "You've done what you should by coming today. They would understand it even if you weren't here tomorrow, you would need to accompany your own family too."

The light in the eyes of Amelia dimmed. To her, the word "family" was something that was unobtainable.

The next day, on the day after Christmas.
