Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

"It's the Tibetian script. What is sculpted on it is a blessing and praise towards a friend."

Milton paused uneasily as he said so.

Fortunately, Amelia did not pay much attention to him, as her attention was pulled away by the jade bracelet.

In this regard, Milton slightly cleared her throat to attract Amelia's attention and continued, "I have learned something about you through the email you sent me and from my friends in Northville.

I know that things have been harsh for you recently and the Apex Construction Corporation is on its way to prove itself to the world, so I brought this bracelet as a charm for you."

"No way! It's too precious. I'll take your blessing but I can't accept this bracelet."

If this was just an ordinary jade bracelet, Amelia would definitely take it.

But this was what he auctioned for. It was obvious that he would not have gotten this at a normal price.

She and Milton were childhood friends, but this did not mean that she had the right to be greedy.

Milton did not put the box away. Instead, he asked, "Amelia, do you know why people back then in ancient times would always give a jade to each other?"

Amelia answered dryly like she was reciting a text from her textbook, "Because jade represents gentlemanliness, people who carry the jade with them will portray a feeling that they are a gentleman and well- mannered?"

Milton continued on, "It's more than that. It's a symbol of prosperity to them. It brings good news to the master. Plus, it's engraved with a Tibetian blessing. I think it's good for you to make a change to your situation."

Amelia shook her head and said, "It's said so just to bring peace to the mind. Milton, we'd better believe in science."

Seeing that Amelia was constantly turning down his kindness, he could not help but started to sound anxious, "Maybe you're right. This is just to seek the peace of mind. You can ignore it yourself, but I'm worried about your situation!

You know what? When you were suffering in Northville, I was feeling distressed all the time. More than once, I've thought that 'If only I were by your side!!

I can at least share some of your worries, but my work doesn't allow me to be so capricious!

Amelia, this jade bracelet, is not to make you feel at ease but to make me feel at ease. Please just take it so that I wouldn't have to worry so much about you! You should at least give me a chance to do something for you, all right?"

Milton sounded very sincere and Amelia was caught up in a complicated mood.

However, this present was different from the past. If Maryanne found out that he had given her such a precious gift, the consequences would be unimaginable!

From her previous interactions with Maryanne, Amelia realized that Maryanne was not a mature woman who wa sensible and reasonable. On the contrary, she was filled with jealousy and was good at scheming.

She did not want to bring any trouble to Milton or Maryanne or herself in the future after she accepted the jade bracelet.

"Milton, listen. You can give me something else if you wanted to. If it's possible, please take it back. I hope you can give it to someone much more important in your life."

Amelia did not specifically point out who this "someone" was.

She could be referring to Milton's mother, Sierra. She could also be referring to Maryanne. In front of these two women, she would naturally not be the one that he should think of first.

Seeing that Amelia was not going to accept it no matter what, Milton wished that he had mentioned this bracelet was picked up from a roadside stall instead of an auction. This time, he entered the wrong zone!

He thought that buying the most expensive and best thing was right! But with Amelia's character, even if it was just a cheap hairband, she, would keep it with her if the person who gifted it to her was treating her wholeheartedly.

But at this point, she was scared out of her wits when she knew that it was a treasure that was being given to her. Could this be consider as hitting himself with a hammer? What made Milton helpless was Amelia had hinted to him that he should give the bracelet to Maryanne!

Although she did not say it clearly, that was how he had interpreted it!

But the jade bracelet was engraved with the abbreviation of her name, Amelia Ramsay. It was a bracelet that no one else was qualified to own except her!

Milton gave a wry smile and said sadly, "Since you don't want it, I'll break it right now."

Amelia was shocked at first, but she quickly calmed herself.

She knew Milton was trying to force her to accept it. It was not like he had never used this trick before.

Whenever she refused something, he would always say that he would break the gift. When she reached out to stop him, he would seize the opportunity to coax her and the gift would end up in her pocket. This time, she must not let him succeed!

Thinking of this, Amelia adjusted her sitting posture and looked at him with a "please do as you wish" expression.

Seeing that she did not stop him, Milton could not help but have a malicious look in his eyes.

He put the box on the table and took

the beautiful dazzling bracelet out from it. He raised his left hand high with a swing. The bracelet broke through the air with an arc and t smashed straight into the corner of the table...

"Milton, stop!" It was too late when Amelia realized that he really meant what he said.

With a crash, a piece of bloody red fragment flew past Amelia's eyes.

Her heart wrenched. Everyone had a special feeling towards something beautiful, not to mention such a rare treasure that was held in Milton's hand. Amelia immediately snatched the bracelet from Milton.

She looked down in a hurry. Fortunately, the bracelet was not broken, but only the part where it collided with the corner of the table was badly damaged.

Raising her eyes, she asked Milton in a gloomy tone, "Milton, you've really grown up. You must have gone mad to smash such a beautiful antique!"

Milton curled his lips and said, "If you didn't want it, then why should I keep it? Smashing it would be better than keeping it. This would ensure that I won't remember the sad memories of you rejecting me whenever I see it!"

"Sh*t! Haven't I rejected you more

than this? Why did you take it seriously this time?" Amelia handed the bracelet to him angrily. "It was supposed to be very valuable but since you smashed it. It's ugly and worthless. I don't think anyone would be willing to accept it except forthose who are collecting junks!"

Although it was easy for Amelia to say that, it was a pity that she could not stop herself from feeling pity.

Who would have thought that Milton who was always playful would really take things to that level...

"Since you have said that it is ugly and worthless, why did you have to bother the trash collector? You can just keep it yourself."

Milton also felt sorry for it but on second thought, he realized that the reason why Amelia did not accept the bracelet was that it was too precious. Since the bracelet was already broken. If it was to be sold on the market, it would definitely be more worthless than some ordinary jade bracelets.

In this case, Amelia had no reason to refuse it.
