Chapter 430
Seeing her coming to sit next to him voluntarily, Patrick curled up his lips despite himself.
Amelia and he were getting more and more connected. Sometimes they didn't have to say things out loud since
a look would be enough.
Glancing at her little face, he said in a deep voice, "Was it difficult to explain our relationship to your coworkers?"
"Not at all." Amelia answered, "They just asked a few usual questions, which were easy to deal with."
Patrick frowned at her last two words. "You didn't tell them in detail how we met and got married?"
Amelia almost rolled her eyes. "Mr. Hopper, I'm sorry to tell you that we don't have a romantic encounter. It's just
that | was drunk in the bar and happened to meet you, who was also drunk. And then we... hooked up. That's
how we met by chance. Do you wantto tell everyone about the process of us knowing each other?"
Patrick pondered for a while seriously before answering, "I don't mind it as long as you are not embarrassed
about it. After all, you are the one being pressed down and crying out for pain."
"Patrick, I'm going to tear your mouth!" Amelia was so annoyed that she straddled him. She was about to lose
her temper when Patrick pressed the back of her head and planted a slow kiss on her. When Amelia was
overwhelmed by the kiss and had an illusion of getting heatstroke, Patrick turned away and chuckled with
satisfaction. "From today on, | can kiss you wherever and however | like without caring about others' opinions."
Amelia wanted to laugh, but tears ran down her cheeks and soaked Patrick's clothes.
When Patrick turned to her, Amelia had regained her usual self, though her red eyes still gave her away. He
asked with a complicated feeling, "Why are you crying?
"I'm not. | was just too happy." Amelia reached out to hold his neck and let out a low sigh.
Doris was right. Amelia wished she could drown herself in the respect and gentleness given by him and never
wake up again.
Noting her sadness, Patrick touched her head and tried to comfort her with his domineering way. "From now on,
no matter where you are, you will always haveto protect you, especially in the company. You can lord it over
others there."
Amelia moaned at his way of bossy behaviors, "I am not a lord. Why should I lord it over others?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPatrick squinted at her and said, "You think too highly of yourself by addressing yourself as a lord. You are just a
turtle who is so timid and fainthearted." "You!" Amelia blurted out with anger. "How dare you calla turtle! Be
careful when | give birth to a bunch of little turtle babies of yours someday!"
Amused by Amelia, Patrick held her tightly and said softly but determinedly, "Mrs. Hopper, don't wait till
‘someday’. | want a little turtle baby now."
Amelia hurried to break free from his arms and held his face to study carefully before she asked skeptically, "Are
you really Patrick Hopper?" "Absolutely!" Patrick grabbed her small hand that was on his cheek and kissed her
palm. He said from the bottom of his heart, "Mrs. Hopper, givea baby."
"So you..." Amelia moved her gaze slowly to where his heart was and she asked with hesitation, "Is she still holds
a place... here?"
Patrick's face froze. He tried to avoid the question subconsciously. "Does it have anything to do with us having
our baby?"
Amelia frowned. "Of course. If she still has a place in your heart, what is that when I give birth to you kid? What
do you takefor? A reproductive tool?"
Patrick was silent.
Seeing that he didn't seem to have any plans to say goodbye to his past, Amelia couldn't help but feel
disappointed. But she still maintained her rationality and said, "Think about it carefully. You have time." After
that, she jumped off him. Just as she was about to leave, she was grabbed by the hand from behind. His nervous
voice came, "Mrs. Hopper, where are you going?"
Amelia gave him a look and said matter-of-factly, "Go back to our room to take a shower."
After meticulously scrutinizing her expression and making sure that she was not mad, Patrick was relieved. He
promised, "Mrs. Hopper, | will give you the answer after Christmas."
Amelia's gaze softened. "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Back in the bedroom, Amelia took out the pajamas needed from the wardrobe. When she was about to walk into
the bathroom, her cell phone in her pocket rang.
Since she was in a rush to take a shower, Amelia didn't look at the nbefore putting the phone through. The
caller was silent for so long that she almost thought it was a prank. Finally, the voice cfrom the other side of
the phone, "Amelia, you are Patrick's wife! Uh?"
"Hobart?" Amelia called out Hobart's nin shock.
Hobart said as if he was about to murder someone, "That's something. I've been courting you for so long until |
was told today that you're his wife?"
Amelia said with resignation, "I couldn't tell you the truth for sreason. Oh, by the way, do you remember
when we first met? At the horse farm... You askedto be your woman and I told you that you couldn't give me
what Patrick had given me. | also showed you the wedding ring. Unfortunately, you didn't think about it at all..."
"No one would have been in the mood to think about it that way! My mind was too occupied with the thought of
touching your fair, tender hand..."
Amelia was at a loss for words. How could Hobart say it that straightforwardly?
Realizing that he had said something
inappropriate, Hobart coughed softly.

"Is it small?" Amelia touched the bulging part of her collarbone and murmured, "It's not small. It's as big as a
pigeon egg."
Hobart insisted the ring was small, "I really didn't see anything that day!"
"Okay, whatever you say." Amelia was disturbed by his argument.
Hobart kept blaming her. "Why didn't you telllater that you were Patrick's wife?"
Amelia felt upset. "I've told you that | have my reason that I couldn't tell you."

On the contrary, because of her repeated refusals, his desire to win her over had got stronger.
