Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 278

Granny Hopper said sourly, "Is it really because of you or others?"

Everyone else knew that Granny Hopper was blaming Eve. And she was not satisfied that Howard was the one to bear the responsibility.

A great grievance appeared on Eve's face, "Mom, I don't dare to be late on such an important day. It was because of Howard."

Howard reprimanded Eve and said, "Well, stop it. No need to bother mom."

Eve felt wronged but couldn't say a word in front of the strict Granny Hopper.

During the banquet, two kids' presences made the atmosphere lively. As usual, Ashley enjoyed calling Patrick "handsome uncle" in his arms, while Andrew, sitting in the middle of Nora and Owen, was a bit shy. He peeked at Amelia on the opposite side from time to time.

Amelia was a little confused by Nora's curious look. She couldn't help asking, "Andrew, why are you staring at me all the time? Is there something strange on my face?"

Andrew was caught on the spot. With his face turning red, he hurried to pick up the food in the bowl.

"Auntie," Ashley, who was sitting on Patrick's lap, twisted his butt to attract Amelia's attention, "You will make my brother shy if staring at him."

So it was Amelia's fault?

Nora put down the cup and explained it softly to Amelia, "Here's the thing. Didn't you take an advertisement for the company recently? He asked me for your photos every day. I told him to talk to you directly, but I didn't expect him to be so shy."

Seeing that Andrew lowered his head with Nora's words, Amelia struggled to hold back her laughter and said, "Andrew, can we take a photo together later?"

"Really?" Andrew suddenly raised his delicate face like a little dog tempted by bones, making the adults laugh.

Ashley, holding her belly, laughed and said, "You're so shy, Andrew!"

"You don't have the right to say anything about me!" He retorted angrily.

"Wow, hahaha, at least I'm braver than you. I know how to date with the Prince Charming!" Ashley continued to laugh at him.

Noticing that Andrew's face was turning extreme red, Patrick poked Ashley's round belly slightly with his slender fingers and asked, "You feel alright after laughing so hard?"

When it came to Patrick, Ashley became obedient, "No, it hurts... Please rub it."

A great smile passed over Owen's normally serious face after seeing it, "Patrick, Amelia, my two kids like you couple very much."

Amelia lauded from the bottom of her heart, "It's because they are too lovely. We'd love to play with them."

Owen and Nora made an eye contact, "Really?"

Amelia said firmly, "Yes!"

"If so, why not help us take care of the kids for several days?" Nora sounded annoyed and amused, both at once.

"Ah? This happened so fast, right?" Amelia was stunned.

Nora turned to look at her apologetically and said, "So it's not convenient for you? It seems that... I'm too reckless."

"No..." Amelia hurriedly explained, "It's me who was too surprised. Did something happen? All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Owen said slowly, "Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. I've asked for leave to return to Northville in order to spend some time with Nora. However, we can't rest assured if we leave the children to others, so we want to ask you and Patrick for help."

"So that's how it is."

Amelia looked at Patrick and found that he was concentrating on dealing with Ashley. It seemed that he had given her the right to make the decision.

She opened her mouth and was about to speak, "I..."

Eve suddenly said, "Nora, why don't you leave them to me?"

Nora was speechless and she leaned forward to Owen stealthily, implying that she needed help.

"What's wrong?" Nora's hesitation made Eve somewhat unhappy. She questioned, "Are you worried that I can't take care of them?"

Owen, who received the signal for help, said at the right time, "Mom, I think you've misunderstood. We all know that you dote on Andrew and Ashley very much."

However, the way Eve spoiled Andrew and Ashley made them flinch. The children now needed to go to school, but if they were pampered, it would cause other troubles.

Besides, the kids love Amelia and Patrick, whose words would be easy for them to take.

Eve frowned and probed, "I have time and I won't abuse them. What are you worried about?"

"Mom, I think we'd better respect the children."

Owen left it to them, "Andrew, Ashley, which do you want to choose?"

Ashley answered without thinking, "I will choose uncle and auntie"

Andrew straightened his back and said with expectation in his eyes, "I want... uncle."

"What?" Peach poked through her mind and said, "If you want to say auntie, just say it. We won't laugh at you."

Andrew glared at her angrily, "Mind your business!"

Owen refrained from smiling and turned to Eve, pretending to be helpless, "Mom, did you hearthat?"

Hearing their replies, Eve could only express her assent sulkily.

Everything in the Hopper Family was about Amelia now, without anyone knowing it, which made Eve very upset. Patrick was the first one who was obsessed with her, and now Owen was on good terms with her.

On top of that, Eve heard Florence said, "I'm going to live in Amelia's house these days." And that made the situation worse.

"What!" Eve almost jumped out of the chair, "Why?"

Florence whispered, "Because grandma lives in her house. I haven't been with her for a long time. Please let me go."

How ironic! Eve's husband Howard often didn't come to her home, but now even her precious grandson and her busy daughter were going to abandon her?

Eve's chest heaved violently, but she couldn't reveal that she was afraid of loneliness. Wasn't this a joke?

After a sigh of relief, Eve pointed at Florence and said seriously, "You wicked girl, don't think that you can escape the blind date by hiding in Patrick's house. I'll arrange it for you anyway!"

Florence's smiling face was slightly stiff. But did it mean that she could live in Land of Fragrance?

During the dinner, Nora shared with Amelia about the experience of bringing children. Patrick and Florence toasted occasionally, while Howard was concerned about the life of Granny Hopper. On the contrary, Eve seemed to be somewhat out of place.
