Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 479

"Grown up a little."

After dealing with two of the most important issues, the atmosphere became quiet.

Five or six seconds later, Jessica broke into laughter. "Why aren't you talking anymore?"

Amelia said carefully, "I'm afraid that I will make you unhappy if I say something wrong."

Jessica froze for a moment. Then she lowered her eyes and said, "I'm the one who'd overlooked your feelings."

Amelia was stunned and immediately said, "Don't say that!"

A touch of pain appeared on Jessica's face. "If my mother hadn't done those disgraceful things, I wouldn't have chosen to run from you, because I didn't know how to face you."

At this time, the waiter was serving them drinks. When Amelia saw that it was the beverage she often ordered at the restaurant, she could not help but let out a big smile.

She took a sip with a straw and asked softly, "Jessica, have you figured it out now?"

Jessica's eyes flashed with confusion. "I can't say that I've completely figured it out. It's only because she'd disappeared from Northville and seemed to have disappeared from my life that I felt a little better. So I finally have the courage to call to meet you."

Amelia tried to make Jessica relaxed in her own way. "To be honest, I haven't thought about this recently, time will dilute everything."

Jessica raised her face and grabbed Amelia's hand excitedly. "Really? You really don't mind... that I'm daughter of that kind of woman?"

Amelia looked thoughtful. It turned out that Jessica was really afraid of others' opinion about her, rather than the fact that she did not tell her about Jocelyn and Howard's issue back then.

Amelia held Jessica's hand, she looked into her eyes and said word by word, "Jessica, I would never think that you were the same person as Jocelyn just because you are her daughter!"

Jessica calmed down at first, then she became nervous again. "But Amelia, even if it doesn't matter to you, what about Mr. Patrick and his family? What will they think of me?"

Amelia asked confusingly, "Why do you have to care about their opinions?"

Jessica said with a sad face, "I am afraid that your husband will cut your contact with me because of my mother."

Amelia shook her head and said, "Patrick may be bossy, but he wouldn't go to such extremes."

Jessica complained, "Isn't he extreme enough? Last time, our cafe was shut down and we are forced to leave our apartment. Who was the one who gave these orders? Now I feel chills down my spine as soon as I hear his name. I always feel that he will put the blame on me!"

Although Patrick had no intention of dealing with Jessica, seeing that she could not stop feeling scared, Amelia could only say, "Don't worry. If anything happens, I'll inform you immediately so that you can be on your guard in advance."

This was what Jessica had been waiting for. "Okay, then I'll thank you in advance."

Amelia acted angrily and said, "Why are you being so polite to me!"

Jessica lifted her lips and smiled. Seeing this, Amelia really wanted to kneel down and beg God to return the lively and teasing best friend of hers to her.

Could it be said that what happened to Jocelyn did not affect their friendship at all? Amelia did not believe it at all!

It was not just them. If this kind of family shame was placed on anyone else, it would make them feel extremely awkward in an instant!

It was already a good start that Jessica was willing to take the initiative to talk to her. As for the remaining friendship gap, Amelia was willing to repair it through her own efforts.

So, she decided to talk about something happy. "There's a new movie coming out recently. There's a cinema not far from your cafe. Do you want to go and watch together?"
