Chapter 134
Just as Amelia was about to say that she had no blood relationship with Grandpa Hopper and she was his granddaughter- in- law. Patrick's footsteps sounded.
When Amelia saw Patrick, she greeted him, "You're back."
Patrick passed between her and Davis with no expression, as if he was so indifferent.
Amelia touched her nose and said to Davis in embarrassment, "Don't mind. He's always like this."
Davis asked in a dull voice, "Is he Grandpa Hopper's grandson?"
Amelia said in surprise, "Do you know him?"
"I once saw a photograph of the whole Hopper family in Grandpa Hopper's study. He should be Patrick whom Grandpa Hopper always mentions. Am I right, Amelia?"
Amelia seemed to be lost in thought, "Do you mean that grandpa often mentions him?"
Davis laughed and said, "Yes, and he always complains that Patrick is unwilling to come back to see him."
Amelia was relieved. Grandpa Hopper's bark was really worse than his bite.
In the corridor upstairs, Patrick angrily stared at Amelia who was smiling happily as if he wanted to kill her.
After watching for a while, he returned to his room and slammed the door shut.
His loud noise immediately woke up Grandpa Hopper and Granny Hopper who were sleeping in the next room.
"What's wrong with that brat again!" Grandpa Hopper was angry because he was awoken by Patrick. He almost wanted to grab the cane at the bedside and beat Patrick.
"All right." Granny Hopper stopped Grandpa Hopper who got up from bed and said, "I'll go and have a look."
Granny Hopper got up and walked to the guest room. She knocked on the door twice, but Patrick opened it for a long time.
Granny Hopper thought that Patrick had fallen asleep and went downstairs without thinking too much.
In the room, Patrick thought that it was Amelia who knocked on the door, so he didn't open the door. It was too late to please him!
In the kitchen.
Davis put the washed red bayberries into Amelia's bowl. Eating red bayberries in summer could quench thirst. Those red bayberries looked good and delicious. Amelia couldn't help swallowing.
Noticing her small movements, Davis said enthusiastically, "Eat some."
Amelia restrained herself and said, "No, grandpa and grandma haven't got up yet."
Granny Hopper heard their voices and walked to them. Then she asked them who were looking at the red bayberries with their heads down, "Amelia, Davis, what are you doing?"
Hearing it, Amelia and Davis raised their heads. But their heads accidentally knocked against each other because they were too close to each other.
Davis wore a military hat, so his head didn't hurt much. But Amelia was so painful that her tears were rolling in her eyes.
"Amelia! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..." Davis was so anxious that he was about to reached out and rub Amelia's forehead.
But Granny Hopper slapped his hand away angrily, "Don't touch Amelia! This is Patrick's wife!"
"Ah?" Davis was surprised. He pointed at Amelia and stammered, "She is..."
If Davis was smarter, he should have thought that Amelia was Patrick's wife. But Patrick looked so cold when he saw Amelia just now. He didn't look like Amelia's husband, but her creditor.
Granny Hopper pretended to be angry and said to Davis, "You have talked to Amelia for a long time, but you don't know who she is? Listen, she is Patrick's dear wife."
This way Granny Hopper introduced her made Amelia laugh. Then, the smile on her face disappeared quickly. She was afraid that Patrick would be unhappy because her identity was exposed.
Davis couldn't come back to earth and murmured, "I didn't expect that Patrick's wife would be so young and beautiful..."
Granny Hopper smiled and said, "Silly boy, you're right. I haven't seen you for a long time. Stay for dinner tonight."
Davis agreed with a smile.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, it was dusk.
Amelia needed to go to the market to buy food ingredients for dinner with Granny Hopper. It was a long way to the market. Granny Hopper wanted Patrick to drive them to the market, but he refused to open the door.
Granny Hopper whispered to Amelia, "Patrick cares about his appearance the most. He must be unwilling to meet others since his face is injured. Let's not make things difficult for him."
Amelia felt funny and sympathetic. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Okay, grandma."
Hearing this, Davis patted his chest and said to them, "I can drive you there, and I can help you carry the food ingredients at market."
Thinking that Granny Hopper was old and needed help, so Amelia said, "Thank you so much, Davis."
In the guest room, Patrick lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling, he couldn't fall asleep at all. He turned over, but accidentally pressed the wound on his face, which made him even more annoyed. He suddenly sat up from the bed.
Hesitating for a while, he walked out of the room and looked downstairs, only to find that there was nobody downstairs. They all went to the market, which made Patrick so angry!
The sound of Patrick's footsteps bothered Grandpa
Hopper. He put a coat on his sleeveless shirt and walked out of his bedroom with a cane, " "B*stard! Why are you doing here! You're so noisy!"
Patrick quarreled with him, "Don't blame me for being unable to sleep because you're getting older."
If it weren't for the fact that Patrick's brow bone was injured, Grandpa Hopper would beat him again, "Owen never talks to me such impolitely! And he..."
Patrick interrupted Grandpa Hopper rudely, "I know. If Owen's legs weren't injured, if Owen was interested in business, the whole Roxxon would belong to him. It would have nothing to do with me."
Grandpa Hopper was so angry. He said those words to Patrick on the phone just because Patrick always had fun abroad and didn't want to go home!
Seeing that Grandpa Hopper was speechless, Patrick smiled playfully and said, "However, no matter how unwilling you are, the die is cast. Now I am in charge of Roxxon. No one can change the fact."
After saying that, he strode back to his room. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Grandpa Hopper sighed. Before leaving, he said in a low voice, "In fact, you did a good job."
After coming back from the market, Amelia begun to cook the kitchen. She thought Davis would leave the kitchen after putting down the ingredients, but unexpectedly, he took the initiative to stay to help.
"I didn't except that you know how to cook." Amelia was quite surprised. Didn't Davis eat in the army canteen?
Before washing rice, Davis took off his military hat and solemnly put it in the refrigerator, revealing his crew cut.
Hearing what Amelia said, he smiled shyly and said, "My mother said that a man can please his wife's mother by cooking."
Amelia agreed and said," She is right."
Davis asked straightforwardly, "Can Patrick cook?"
Amelia looked around, in case Patrick would suddenly came to the kitchen, "No, he's not as good as you in cooking."
