Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 68

Amelia's joke was treated seriously by her mother-in-law, who slammed the bowl and shouted at her, "How dare

you!"

This anger made everyone in the table stunned. Amelia looked at her mother-in-law and asked, "Mom, who are

you blaming?"

"You!" Eve had been unhappy with her for a long time. This time, she simply blamed her, "Patrick just asked you

to help him with a crab, but you refused. Then what else can he expect from you? Will you cook for him at

home?"

Amelia had no idea how her mother-in-law drew this conclusion and said, "Mom, first of all, Patrick is an adult.

Secondly, his limbs are in good condition. So | think that not only women should be able to cook and clean up the

house, but also men. We're living in the 21 st century, where women are equal to men. It's better to buy a multi-

functional rice cooker than to marry a cook. Am | right, Mom?"

"| agree!" Florence admired her second sister-in-law so much. On one hand, she thought that women had the

ability to do what men were able to do with the squality. On the other hand, no one else in the Family of

Hopper dared to offend Eve like this, but Amelia was so reasonable that everyone was convinced.

Florence's statement annoyed Eve more.

Florence immediately gave in and said, "Heh heh heh

heh, you can continue..."

Eve thought Amelia's personality was totally out of control and she must be taught a lesson, so she said, "Patrick

is always busy at work, then how can he cook at hlike a housewife? As his wife, you should think about how

to ease his burden."

Amelia kept silent as Patrick was really busy at work.

Eve continued, "You can't make a lot of money no matter how hard you work at Roxxon. You'd better resign and

beca housewife, taking after Patrick. If you need money, just ask Patrick. He can afford it." Amelia had

nothing to say.

Her mother-in-law wanted her to take care of her son like a nanny, and she was so arrogant, just like she

sponsored by The Hopper Family in charity. Hearing this, Howard requested, "Shut up! Amelia is our daughter-in-

law, not a nanny!"

"Thank you, dad!" Upon her father-in-law's defense, Amelia felt warm-hearted. As encouraged, she turned to her

mother-in-law and said, "I think, as a woman, except marriage, | should put my dream into reality. Not every

marriage is unbreakable and indestructible and the only thing that won't betrayis my career. As long as |

make an effort, my career will bringreturns. Therefore, | have to keep myself strong and will never resign."

Eve's eyes burned with anger, shouted, "You mean my son is unreliable?!"

Amelia was speechless as her mother-in-law obviously misunderstood. It seemed it was meaningless to stay here

anymore.

"Everyone, thank you for your hospitality tonight. | gotta go now." Then she left the table without any reluctance.

Seeing the daughter-in-law was so disobedient, Eve was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She

shouted at Amelia's back, "Let her go! Anyone on the street is better bred than her!" After Patrick finished his

meal, he put down the cloth and was about to leave the table.

Seeing this, Eve becanxious, required, "Patrick, stay here tonight. Keep away from her!"

Patrick said slowly, "No. It's a long way from here to home, so | have to take good care of her."

Eve took a deep breath and asked with her chest heaved violently, "Is she more important thanin your

heart?"

It was a question that can't be properly answered.

"..." Patrick didn't know what to say.

Howard rubbed his eyebrows and advised his wife, "Don't make a fool of yourself like a child."

While Howard was persuading Eve not to blAmelia, Patrick ran out to catch up with Amelia.

At the back, he faintly heard Eve shouting, "I'm not happy with this daughter-in-law!"

Shaking her head, Florence secretly thought that it was really difficult to deal with a woman who was going

through menopause, so she secretly put down her chopsticks and sneaked into her room. Then she turned on the

computer to search "The clinics dealing with men infertility".

When the pages were opened, she began to fill in the information requested by all the hospitals.

The light of the screen shone on her face, making the smile on her face quirky.

In the courtyard of The Hopper Family, Amelia breathed in the cool air and felt herself calming down.

She shouldn't have been so impulsive just now. After all, she should have respected her elder.

Just as she regretted, the horn was heard behind her. Within a blink of the eye, Patrick's Lamborghini had already

slipped in front of her.

"Get in." Patrick ordered.

Amelia stood still and asked unexpectedly, "Why did you cout?"

Patrick smiled and said, "I'm here to pick Mrs. Hopper home."

Amelia was even more confused and asked, "Does your mother agree?"

Patrick shrugged and said, "I'm an adult and | know whom | should care. Unless she breaks my leg, | insist on

what | think is right."

Amelia got in the car and said, "Don't describe yourself as a fearless hero. When your mother scolded me, you

didn't even dare to say anything."

Patrick said, "Don't blher. She had a hard life before."

Amelia looked at him and said, "Tell me?"

Perhaps after figuring out Eve's temperament, they would not be in such dispute.

"When Owen was a child, he lived a suffering life with my grandfather. When he grew up, he beca special

policeman. He went through the missions risking his life. Every the was injured, my mother cried and took

care of him. In her heart, we are everything to her, and I..."

His voice beclower. He didn't want to say much because it involved his relationship with Sissi.

On their way home, Amelia received a phone call from Alice, who was sobbing, "Amelia! Your father had a heart

attack and is going through an operation in the hospital. Can you cover right away..." Amelia, who was

careless, immediately changed her tone, "Which hospital?"

In the emergency center.

When Amelia and Patrick arrived, George was still in the operation. With the comfort of Daniel's soft voice, Alice

wiped her tears.

Seeing Amelia was worried, Brittany said in a strange tone, "Wow, you are finally here. | thought you had

forgotten who your dad is."

Amelia said disdainfully to Brittany who was standing in front of her, "Stat away!"

Her eyes were as sharp as knives. Brittany was so scared that she really took a step back.

Pushing her half-sister away, Amelia walked straight towards Alice and asked, "My dad hasn't had a heart attack

for more than ten years. Did anyone annoy

him?"

Saying this, Amelia glanced at Brittany and Daniel.

Alice said with tears in her eyes, "He drank salcohol before coming back."

Amelia said angrily, "You know his health condition. He can't smoke nor drink. How did you take care of him?"

There was a flash of thought in Patrick's eyes. He didn't know about The Ramsay Family very well and he had

never seen Amelia so hoarse and exhausted like this. Her hatred for Alice was about to burst.
