Come Into My Arms novel Chapter 983

Holding the pickled radish in his hand, Patrick calmly put it on the table in the space between him and Amelia. "I forgot they gave me a side dish."

Amelia could not help but laugh. "As the President of Roxxon, you only have a bowl of white porridge and pickled radish for supper. Who would believe this?"

Patrick's gaze softened when he realized that he managed to amuse her. "Well, as a president of Apex Construction Corporation, aren't you also accompanying me to eat this plain porridge and radish?"

The corners of Amelia's mouth twitched. If she had known that he would tease her, she would not have said anything about it to prevent herself from being included in this conversation.

There were other dishes in the refrigerator, but Patrick insisted on segregating a packet of pickled radish into two fractions. He shared a portion with Amelia, then began to eat his porridge slowly.

Although Amelia accompanied him for a bowl of porridge, she had other thoughts in her heart.

Time passed quietly between the two of them...

Suddenly, Patrick said, "I have never doubted that you used despicable means to win the deal of the Eastern District project. If you still aren't willing to tell me the truth because it's difficult for you to explain, I won't ask you anymore in the future on the premise that you won't deliberately say those words to make me angry."

Those words? What kind of words?

Was it when she mentioned that he cheated on her?

Amelia stopped eating. For a moment, she could not believe what Patrick said.

Patrick scrutinized her and asked slowly, "Didn't you hear me clearly? Do you need me to repeat what I just said?"

Amelia put down the partly-opaque plastic spoon and looked at him seriously. "Are you serious?"

Patrick replied, "I am."

Amelia was uncertain. "Can you guarantee me that you won't ask anything related to the Eastern District project?"

"Yes, I can." Patrick gave her his word.

Amelia still could not believe that he agreed and added on, "I'm positive that although you won't come to me with these questions, you'll still go to someone else for answers."

Patrick said, "I promise that I won't ask about this matter anymore unless someone brings it up in front

of me."

Amelia questioned further, "Even if you receive any news in the future, can you guarantee that you won't lose your temper against me?"

Patrick responded her in a low voice, "The way you said this only makes me want to find out the truth!"

A disappointed expression was displayed on Amelia's face. "Look, you're always like this. You just made me a promise but it seems that you've forgotten about it all in the blink of an eye. I can't trust you."

Patrick's lips curled into a smile. "Are you trying to provoke me with reverse psychology?"

Amelia shook her head gently. "I wasn't trying to provoke you. I'm just stating a fact.

"You've always regarded me as your belongings. No matter what I did behind your back, as long as I revealed a secret by mistake, you'll dig into that issue thoroughly.

Sometimes when I deliberately hide something, it's not because I really wanted to hide it from you. Maybe I sound a little ridiculous, but what I concealed today was ultimately for the benefit for the both of us.

I previously mentioned that as long as our marriage is valid, I will not do anything that will tarnish your reputation in any way. This is a promise that I have kept till now."

After two or three seconds, Patrick replied, "I see. What I just said was equally true. Unless and until someone takes the initiative to tell me about the project, I won't prod more about it."

Amelia was very happy to hear that.

Because she knew that Roxxon Corporation had nothing to do with the construction industry, there should not be anyone who would talk about the Eastern District Project in front of Patrick.
