Chapter 275
Thinking for a while, Amelia suddenly picked up the tape on the bedside table, tied herself and his hand
together, and said with satisfaction, "That's enough."
Her actions were completely out of Patrick's expectation. He couldn't help laughing. She actually had such a
domineering behavior.
After returning from Hawoi City, Amelia found that the relationship between her and Patrick seemed to have
eased a little bit. This was probably her biggest gain on this trip.
Then cThe Hopper Family's feast, which was arranged for the best seven-star hotel in Northville, because
Granny Hopper barely cto Northville and she was also the oldest senior in the family. Since it was a family
banquet, they were all the Happe's direct relatives. Amelia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With Eve, it was
enough for her, she was not ready to deal with Patrick's other relatives. Before the banquet began, Granny
Hopper urged Amelia to go back to her room to dress up. She smiled and said, "Granny, | don't think so. I'm just
having a meal with your family."
Granny Hopper said solemnly, "I hope that you can dress up well so that Eve can shut her mouth. Also, you can
sit next toand Patrick later. | will protect you."
This kind of feeling of being cared for made Amelia felt warm, she was moved and nodded her head.
The doorbell of the door suddenly rang downstairs. Amelia looked at the twith confusion. "It's still early. Who
could it be?"
Patrick opened the door and quickly told the result, "Florence! Why are you here?"
As soon as the door was opened, Florence rushed over without looking at it. When he saw clearly that the person
he was holding was Patrick, he immediately jumped out of his arms in disgust and said, "So it's you, Patrick."
"It's rude!" Patrick flicked Florence's forehead, ignoring her shouting, then he turned around calmly and went
back to the living room to read the newspaper.
Florence covered her forehead in anger and said, "You haven't seenin two months, and you're reading the
paper?"
Patrick snorted softly without looking up, "Reading the paper can be informative, but seeing you only annoys

Florence was furious, "Patrick! I'm going to kill you!"
The siblings argued playfully every tthey met, and Amelia and Granny Hopper, who heard their bickering

look of joy as she opened her arms and waved straight at them, "Amelia! Grandma!"
Granny Hopper gleefully said to Amelia, "Hear that, Florence called you first and then me, it seems you're more
important to her than | am."
Amelia suddenly didn't know what to say.
Then Florence had gone up the stairs and took Amelia's hand to observe her, "You've lost weight, but yes, you're
dealing with the smanat the office by day and at hby night, you must be so disgusted by him that you
can't eat."
Amelia was amused by Florence's tone, but the gloating in that laugh was too obvious, and Patrick suddenly
looked up at her, looking unhappy.
Amelia quickly stopped laughing and pretended to cough softly to Florence, "How long are you planning to stay
back this time?"
Florence counted on his fingers and said, "Seven days. By the way, sister-in-law, can you takein? I don't
want to go hthese days." Amelia was stunned, "Why?"
Florence used his fingers to roll up her hair in front of her chest. She said annoyedly, "It's all because of mom.
She's been crazy recently. She calledevery day to urgeto find a boyfriend. | can refuse when I'm
working. But recently, I'm on vacation and my grandmother has cto Northville. | can't hide in my colleague's
house and can only cback to attend the family banquet. So... you know." Amelia understood what she
meant, Florence had been through what she'd been through and was about to say yes, but Patrick from
downstairs said firmly, "No!"
"Why not? Why..." Florence suddenly turned her head and put her hands on the fence to protest at Patrick.
"It's so noisy!" Patrick impatiently said, "You're an adult now. Don't you feel shto live in your
brother's house?"
Florence pouted, "What's there to be shamed about? What I'm asking for is Amelia, not you. Are you afraid that if
| live here, Amelia's attention will be taken away, so you don't agree, do you?" Patrick's anger was ignited by
Florence's words. He covered his face with the newspaper and said grumpily, "Just stay here no matter how long
you want."
Florence knew Patrick a lot, she was just using Amelia to spur him on and he was giving in.
Turning around, Florence gently touched Amelia's waist with her elbow, and she hurriedly whispered in her ear,
"You have a lot of hope..."
Amelia had just wanted to ask what kind of hope, but Florence had already gone to the side of Granny Hopper to
act cute.
In this regard, she smiled helplessly, turned around, and cleaned up the guest room for Florence.
In the room, Amelia was alone in the room, hesitated for a while, and finally took out her mobile phone...
She hadn't been able to visit George for the past few days on the business trip and had no choice but to contact
Alice to ask about the situation.
"Amelia?"
Hearing Alice's voice, Amelia was as uncomfortable as ever, "So, how is my father?"
"Still the same."

She had changed her opinion of Alice a little before, and now she hated Alice all over again because of the
subject.
Alice's voice sounded rather sad, "Amelia, what happened to your mother was an accident. No one wanted to
have such a tragedy."
Amelia resented, "Hypocrisy! I'll never forgive you for the rest of my life!"
"I can wait." Alice sighed and continued wearily, "If your father ever wakes up, I'm sure he'd be happy to share
