Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 20

Amelia said in anger, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, this is your home." So, don't be so vulnerable.

Amelia didn't seem to compromise but shut up. It was not her style to gain sympathy with her miserable background.

In the living room.

Amelia's stepmother, Alice Green Ramsay, and her half-sister, Brittany Ramsay, were there. The three women looked at each other in dismay while Amelia fought hard against her urge to leave!

Back then, George had an extramarital affair with Alice abroad and secretly registered the marriage with her. Soon after that, Brittany was born. When Amelia's mother learned that with a shock and deep sorrow, she cut her wrist and committed suicide at home.

One year after that, Alice settled into The Ramsay's family with Brittany as the hostess.

However, in Amelia's view, Alice and Brittany were just the thieves of her original family and the poor parasites of the house. She was never afraid of them, but didn't want to see them at all!

"Amelia and Patrick, just feel at home and be seated please. A friend of your dad has sent us some highgrade Maojian Tea. See, it's just brewed. Come and taste." George was extremely happy when he heard that Amelia and Patrick were coming.

George, as the head of the family was so hospitable, let alone Alice.

Alice invited Amelia, "My dear, why don't you couple stay for lunch with us?"

Alice was so flattering as if Amelia were her biological daughter.

However, Amelia felt it was ironic. Since young, she had hoped to tear apart Alice's hypocritical image. Even so, Amelia asked, "You prepare the lunch?"

Alice was surprised at Amelia's response and said with emotion, "Your dad and I made it for you!"

"Then I'd better not. I'm afraid that I'd be sent to hospital by ambulance after the lunch."

Alice's face instantly turned pale, a little pitiful.

Brittany felt offended and defended her mom's hospitality,"Come on, Amelia! You know daddy and mommy had been expecting you and they spent the whole morning preparing the lunch for you. You haven't appreciated their hard work, but slander my mommy! How dare you!"

After a pause, Brittany showed empathy with Patrick, "My dear brother- in- law, my sister has always had a short fuse, so your life with her must be suffering and burning, huh?"

Amelia didn't care about that and said, "My dear younger sister, as the saying goes, the elder sister in a family stands like a mother. When our seniors were talking, how dare you interrupt?"

Brittany was choked and turned to look at Patrick, telling with her eyes how aggressive Amelia was.

Patrick showed a "not my business" face and accepted his father-in-law's invitation to a cup of tea.

When Patrick went to his father-in-law, Brittany said triumphantly, "My dear, have you received the invitation of my wedding from Daniel? It's on the 11th of next month and you are our must-invite guest. You know we look forward to receiving the best wishes from you!"

It was strange - When Brittany mentioned Daniel, Amelia's ex boyfriend, she didn't feel painful in her heart at all, but indescribably disgusted by the playboy.

Then Amelia scoffed at Brittany, who was self-righteous, "My dear, I thought you might break up with Daniel and can't wait to marry a good man, just like my Patrick. But I didn't imagine you would get engaged with such a womanizer! Well, you and your mother are really keen on grabbing others' boyfriend or husband, destroying others' family, isn't it?"

Luckily Alice made a narrow escape from Amelia's sharp tongue when she were having the tea with George and Patrick.
