Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 264

However, it was the same for Patrick too.

Thinking of this, Patrick turned his concern to indifference, "I came up to inform you that grandma has arrived in Northville. You can go with me to the bus station to pick her up." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Hearing the word "Grandma", Amelia slightly cheered up. "You mean, Granny Hopper is here? What about Grandpa Hopper?"

Patrick snorted and answered, "He won't come."

Amelia responded with disappointment, "Got it." Although Grandpa Hopper was a little unkind, he must be very lonely if he was the only man guarding the house.

"Then let's go." Since she had gone out twice this morning, Amelia could go out directly without changing clothes.

"Okay." Patrick turned around and took the lead.

But the smile on Amelia's face quickly disappeared without Patrick's observing. She just saw a piece of news on the Internet, the boss of the cemetery garden in Rosan Road had decided to auction the cemetery since the location was not good and the business was miserable!

In this regard, Amelia was flustered. Once the cemetery garden was acquired, her mother's grave would be razed.

Her mother suffered a great change in her family when she was young. If Amelia couldn't even rest in peace after death, wouldn't it be unfilial for her as a daughter?

If George wasn't sick, Amelia would have asked him to purchase that area. After all, that was what George owed her mother, but she wouldn't do so in this current situation.

Unless... Patrick was willing to help her.

Amelia was so lost in thought that she didn't even know she was going down the stairs. Just when she nearly missed the step, Patrick reached out to hold her.

"Why do you act rashly?" Although he was reprimanding her, his expression was full of concern.

She looked at Patrick with some fear, and Amelia calmed down and said, "Thank you..."

"There are a lot of things you need to thank me for!" Sometimes, Patrick really couldn't stand her politeness. Being polite meant alienation, which made him feel annoyed.

His impatient tone made her unconsciously want to retreat, and her courage to ask him for help also weakened.

So, it was better for her to deal with it by herself...

When they arrived at the airport, Amelia recognized the kind old woman standing in the middle of the crowd with sharp eyes.

In contrast to the warm and humid weather in Dallas, Northville was getting colder and colder, and Granny Hopper was shivering even though she was wearing a thick jacket!

Seeing this, Amelia couldn't help but quicken her pace. She got to Granny Hopper faster than Patrick and Eve and shouted, "Granny!"

Granny Hopper was old, but had a keen ear. As soon as she heard Amelia's voice, she turned back a little stiffly, reached out her hand and touched Amelia's fair face, and said smilingly, "Good girl, I've missed you so much."

"Granny, I miss you too." Feeling the coldness of Grandma's hands, Amelia carefully removed her gloves and scarf for Granny Hopper to put on.

Although the size was not fit and the style was somewhat nondescript, they were with Amelia's concerns. Granny Hopper still accepted them with a smile.

Eve looked unhappily, thinking Amelia was flattering Granny Hopper.

Then Amelia silently put her own cold hands in the pockets, "Granny, you're welcome to play in Northville, and I'll show you fun and good food every day if you want."

Eve retorted, "Amelia, you are so unkind, she has high blood pressure and can't stand that!"

Amelia was startled and looked apologetically at Granny Hopper, "I didn't know you had high blood pressure, is it bad?"

Afraid of Amelia's sadness, Granny Hopper softly reassures, "It's okay. It isn't a big deal, as long as I take my medication on time."

Then Granny Hopper gave Eve a meaningful look, "Someone probably doesn't want me to go out, just wanting me to stay in Dallas and retire, right?"

Eve frowned lightly. It was a challenge for her to get along well with Granny Hopper.

In the beginning, Granny Hopper disapproved of Eve's marriage to The Hopper Family, thinking that she was too delicate and overbearing and that the elegant Howard would suffer if Eve married him. Eve had also been holding a grudge against Granny Hopper because of it.

Patrick knew all about the situation and said, "Let's stop standing around here and get in the car and talk."

On the way.

Patrick was in charge of driving the car while Eve was sitting in the passenger seat. Granny Hopper and Amelia were in the rear seat. Considering that Granny Hopper would feel bored, Amelia introduced the scenery along the way.

Her voice was clear and gentle. Even if they were not interested in the scenery, they wanted to listen to her. And Patrick was distracted at times while driving, and his sight fell on the energetic face of Amelia in the rearview mirror.

"Amelia, let me whisper something to you." Amelia had just finished speaking when Granny Hopper suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Do you have any signs of pregnancy?"

Amelia was stunned for a moment and replied in a low voice, "No."

Granny Hopper looked at her and asked in a lower voice, "Is it my grandson didn't work hard?" "Granny!" Amelia didn't expect that Granny Hopper would be that straightforward, especially when Eve and Patrick were both there.

"Shh! Don't yell!" Granny Hopper said with a serious face, "Our voices are so low that they can't hear us."

Patrick was sitting in the driver's seat, raised his eyebrows. He didn't know whether Eve's hearing was good or not, but at least he could hear it clearly.

After placating Amelia, Granny Hopper continued to gossip, "Just tell me the truth. Is it my grandson having something wrong?"

Amelia was stunned and shy. After a while, she said, "Actually, he... he is very strong!"

Oh, it turned out that he was very strong.

Hearing this, Patrick couldn't help adjusting his sitting position. Because he had a physiological reaction from the compliment from Amelia!

"Anything else?" Granny Hopper asked the question that Patrick wanted to know the most.

Amelia subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror. After making sure that Patrick didn't notice their conversation, she continued, "And it's... very long!"

Patrick laughed quietly. His good mood immediately reflected in his speed, and Eve said worriedly, "Why are you driving so fast?"

When Eve called Patrick's name, Amelia stiffened, but then thought she's too sensitive. However, her affirmation of Patrick's certain abilities had all been heard by him.
