Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 673

Patrick straightened up and picked up a club without thinking much about it. He first gripped it to feel the way it squeezed beneath his touch, then swung it back and forth in small arcs. He made up his mind and said, "This is it."

"Okay, Mr. Patrick."

Just as the staff were about to retreat with the remaining two bags of equipment, Kaiden stopped them. "Wait!"

The staff turned around in a haste, then asked, "Mr. Wright, what can we do for you?"

"Mrs. Hopper hasn't picked a club for the competition yet." Kaiden's eyes were fixed on the staff, but his words were directed at Patrick.

"She doesn't need to pick any," answered Patrick.

"Oh? Mr. Patrick, are you afraid Mrs. Hopper will hinder you, so you don't want to team up with her?" The intention to sow discord between the couple was evident in his words.

Patrick threw a sidelong glance at Kaiden and said while giving off an air of indifference, "Didn't you say I can win even with a lady in my arms? If it was that way before, then it's the same now."

Kaiden was caught by surprise.

"His... His wife was standing right beside him, but he still dared to bring up his love affair! He even took pride in it! Shame on him!" thought Kaiden.

After the shock, Kaiden was eagerly expectant and thought, "Amelia should be upset now, right?"

But when he turned to look at Amelia, she was not stirred at all, let alone bursting out in anger.

Amelia showed great tolerance, with her heart and mind remaining clear despite their heated argument. Kaiden was even unconsciously influenced by this peacefulness when he looked at her serene smile.

Kaiden shook his head. He was here to find trouble, not to observe Amelia!

No matter how wonderful Amelia was, she could never be compared to the flawless, perfect Sissi!

Seeing that Kaiden was purposefully making things difficult for Patrick, Amelia gently placed her right hand on Patrick's arm and said, "Mr. Hopper, how about this? You can hold me while we share the same club. It's different but still considered as a team nonetheless, am I right?"

"No way!" Kaiden strongly protested, "If the both of you hug together, only one person will be showing their skills!"

Amelia batted her eyelashes innocently at him and said, "Aren't we at a disadvantage if my husband and I work together as compared to you and Mr. Leo, who get to play individually?"

"Are you making sense? It sure sounds good when you say you two are working together, but isn't it only your man who's playing at the end of the day?"

Kaiden wanted Amelia to drag down Patrick and lower their scoring rate from that round!

But if Patrick held Amelia in his arms, then he must be the one swinging the club. Amelia would just have to stand there and look pretty as there was no need for her to do anything at all.

In the face of Kaiden's indignance, Amelia put on a serious look and suggested, "If Mr. Kaiden finds it unfair, you can work together with Mr. Leo too. I think your figure will fit just right for Mr. Leo to hold you in his arms."

Pft!

The row of young men behind Kaiden all laughed. Obviously, they had understood the ridicule in her words.

Kaiden's face dimmed as dark as the bottom of a pan from the mockery that sounded as if he was being called submissive.

He hated being accused as a submissive. And although he did not like physical contact with women, it did not mean that he was gay!

"Mrs. Hopper." This time, Patrick's soft, guttural voice with a hint of a faint smile rang in the air. "Your suggestion is good. Leo, what do you think?"

Under the fierce glare from Kaiden, Leo, who driven into a tight spot, brushed the tip of his nose in hesitation and said, "I'm fine with anything. Up to you guys."
