Chapter 334
"Good!" Amelia becexcited by this and then noticed Patrick getting ready to go upstairs to get Andrew and
Ashley, she immediately said, "Ashley just fell asleep. Let's wait until she wakes up." In the afternoon, at
Maplewood Zoo.
Andrew and Ashley were surprised. They did not expect that after the parent-teacher conference yesterday
Patrick was still blaming them, but today he actually brought them to the zoo. Arriving at the destination, the
four of them got off the car. From others' view, they were definitely a happy family.
They bought tickets to the zoo, where a row of tour buses parked in front of them. Considering the zoo was too
large and the route was too complex, and Amelia was worried about the two kids would be lost, Patrick
temporarily rented an open- top tour bus.
As the car traveled, they saw many animals in the grass, and along the way, the bold Ashley even took the fruit
from the keeper to feed the giraffe that chased their car.
Sometimes, half of Ashley's body almost hanging in the air outside the tour bus, Amelia watched this thrilling
scene, rushed to reach out to stop her, to prevent her from falling out.
Ashley, not sensing any danger at all, turned her head and gleefully said to Amelia, "Auntie Amelia, | want to see
the male lion and the female lion!"
"Sit upright first, and then I'll talk to you." Amelia strongly requested.
Ashley hurriedly sat down and smiled sweetly at Amelia, "Auntie, is this okay?"
Amelia nodded and eased the solemn look on her face. "You seem to like lions very much?"
The last tshe saw the African lions in "The Animal World ", Ashley's eyes were fixed on them.
Ashley giggled, "No, | want to see if the male lion is really that good that he can do it eight times a day!"
Amelia was speechless.
Just then, Andrew, who was watching the horses, turned to look at Amelia, his face full of anticipation, "I want to
ride a horse!"
Horse riding? Amelia recalled that Patrick once taught Maryanne how to ride a horse on the horse farm. So she
tilted her head and said to Patrick, "Can you teach Andrew how to ride a horse?"
"He has won the equestrian competition in the junior group, does he still needto teach him?" Said Patrick,
glancing at Andrew.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnder Amelia's surprised look, Andrew rubbed the back of his head and innocently said to her, "If you don't know
how, I'll be happy to teach you."
Amelia suddenly thought that the men of The Hopper Family were so cool, even this kid could do horsemanship.
She was an inferior player by comparison. "Andrew..." Patrick gave Andrew a suggestive stare.
Andrew reacted and immediately changed his mind, "But I'm too short to teach your lordship, Uncle Patrick has
better horsemanship, so let him teach you." "Huh?" Did she say she wanted to learn?
Patrick interjected, "Since you want to learn so much, I'll reluctantly teach you, let's get off from the car."
"I think I'd better not..." Amelia said anxiously, "I'm not good at sports."
Patrick looked at her suspiciously, "You're not saying that because you're afraid of falling off your horse, are
you?"
"I'm not!" Amelia said immediately, but the distress on her face had betrayed her.
It was the first tPatrick didn't laugh at her, instead, he said gently, "Don't worry, | will share a horse with you
and protect you."
At the horse farm.
Upon realizing that she was being held in Patrick's arms while his hands were wrapped around her body holding
the reins, she had the feeling of being protected by him.
"Are you getting too close to me?" Amelia whispered.
"Don't be nervous. | always teach people to ride horses like this."
Patrick's eyes were fixed on Amelia in his arms. If it were usual, she would have turned and pushed him away,
but this the deliberately let the horse run, so bumpy that she had to grab his hand on the reins, and her
delicate body leaned further into his arms!
If he had known that, he should have brought her to the stable earlier. It was enjoyable to see her nervous!
Distracting herself when she was

could do. Amelia looked over to her

Ashley was a troublemaker but also a very resourceful child. After hearing Patrick's words, she reflexively got on
the horse's back and circled its neck with her small hands.
Not long after, just as the frightened horse passed Patrick, it was yanked by Patrick's strong hand on the reins
from behind, and its gallop was slowed...
At that moment, the trainer happened to be riding over to help. It was not hard for two professional men to
stabilize a horse, and as the horse stomped to a stop, Patrick breathed a sigh of relief and then said to the
trainer, "Take her down."
"Sure... yes." The trainer at this twas also too nervous out of sweat. If it were not for Patrick, their zoo might
have trouble!
Without bothering to comfort Ashley, Patrick whispered to a somewhat frozen Amelia, "It's already okay..."
Amelia gave him a dumbfounded look as she said nervously, "What about you? Showyour hand."
"There's no need." Patrick jumped off the horse sharply with her in his arms, then quickly released her, the hand
that had pulled Ashley's horse silently behind his back, refusing to let her check.
"Uncle... Aunt..." Ashley knew she had made big trouble, but didn't dare to cry. She stifled her tears and cto
Patrick and Amelia with a guilty look.
Patrick reached out to stop Amelia, who wanted to go over and comfort Ashley, and asked Ashley in a
condescending manner, "You know you did something wrong?"
