Chapter 284
Florence didn't know the truth, always thought that Amelia's room was Patrick's, so she sincerely suggested, "Patrick, Amelia said that she would sleep with Andrew tonight. Would you like to go up and experience the family of three in advance?"
Ashley raised her hand and said, "No, it's a family of four! I want to sleep next to my uncle!"
As soon as he heard that Amelia was going to sleep with Andrew, Patrick had an angry look on his face, and Andrew, that brat, didn't he know that male and female are different?
It could only be said that Patrick was too nervous. For a little boy who was only six years old and had just entered the first grade of primary school, he did not know much about the meaning of men and women.
Looking at Patrick's sinister eyes, Florence shivered, "Patrick... your eyes are so scary."
Patrick yelled, "Bring Andrew to your room and sleep!"
Florence's face was full of sympathy. "This... is not good, Amelia said that Andrew has fallen asleep, and she has volunteered to take him in."
Patrick didn't know what had happened to him either. Now it seemed that his nephew, who had always loved him, was a troublesome existence. He even regretted promising to take care of these two little kids.
When he was lost in thought, Patrick felt that his thigh was tripped by something. He looked down with a murderous look and found that it was Ashley, who was hugging him. "Uncle Patrick, don't be sad. Ashley will accompany you tonight!"
With a headache, he took back the words "two little kids". They were obviously "two devils".
Before going upstairs, Ashley mischievously made the V sign to Florence as she finally got to share a bed with her Uncle Patrick.
But after entering the room, Ashley was stunned. Patrick was actually... filling up the air mattress. "Uncle, what are you doing?"
Patrick avoided her question and said, "You go to take a bath first and then go to bed."
With her hands behind her back, Ashley kicked the floor gloomily and asked, "Are you going to give the bed to me and sleep on the air mattress?"
Patrick nodded indifferently.
Ashley was disappointed, "No, no! I want to sleep with you!"
"Ashley, listen..." Patrick said with dignity, "I don't sleep with anyone other than my wife."
Ashley was a smart child. He believed that she could understand this statement. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Ashley sighed with a grievance, "Then... if I can find a way to let you and Auntie Amelia share the same bed, can you not sleep on the air mattress?"
Patrick nodded perfunctorily, but he didn't hold any hope. He didn't forget that he just had a quarrel with Amelia.
"Then please to wait for me to come back before you go to bed!" After saying this, Ashley ran to the next room.
Patrick raised his eyebrows, and he actually had little hope for Ashley's words.
In the second bedroom.
After taking a shower, Amelia stepped out of the bathroom softly. She wore a light blue nightgown. In order not to wake up Andrew, she had dried her hair in the bathroom.
"Boohoo..."
Who was crying?
At night, all the noise would be infinitely loud. Amelia listened to the cry at the door, wondering if it was the sound of Ashley.
As soon as the door opened, Amelia's waist was tightened by the intruder, Ashley, and she was confused.
"Auntie Amelia... " Ashley cried, which made Amelia feel bad.
Amelia squatted down and asked with confusion in her eyes, "What's wrong with you?"
Ashley said pitifully, "I... I miss my mom and dad!"
Amelia nodded with understanding and said, "Then I will call your mother and let her talk to you for a while, okay?"
"No!" Ashley cried louder, almost hysterical, "I can hear her, but I can't see her, it will only make me more uncomfortable!"
Amelia explained patiently and carefully, "Then, you temporarily treat me as your mother. What will your mother usually do for you before going to bed?"
Amelia's words worked, Ashley's crying was weakening and she said, "Tell a story."
"Okay, I'll tell you a story."
"On the bed!" Ashley emphasized.
Amelia said with great confidence, "Sure!"
Anyway, her bed was big enough to have one more child.
"But..." A question came to Ashley, "If you are my 'Mommy', what about 'Daddy'?"
Amelia felt embarrassed, "Can you just have 'mommy'?"
Ashley was looking like she was about to cry at any moment with her curling lip, "No, mom and dad are indispensable. Generally, my dad holds me, and my mom tells stories..."
"This..." Amelia was really afraid that Ashley would cry if she said something wrong, so she could only vaguely say, "But now the situation is special. I am not your real Mom, and 'Dad' is certainly not... Hey, hey, don't cry!"
Before Amelia finished his words, she saw that Ashley began to shed tears...
Seeing Ashley biting her lower lip so hard that he didn't let her cry out, Amelia felt more distressed, "Well, I'll promise whatever you ask for, as long as you don't cry!"
After being bashful for a while, Ashley asked in a hoarse voice, "You are not lying?"
Amelia said solemnly, "I won't lie to you."
Ashley broke into a smile through her tears. The doll-like smile made Amelia sigh, it was worthwhile to do anything for her.
"Please allow me to wake Andrew up," Ashley said politely.
Amelia stopped her and said, "Why? Isn't it good to sleep in my room?"
Ashley shook her head and said, "But I think Uncle Patrick's bed is bigger and softer..."
Amelia didn't know what to say.
Just as she climbed onto the bed, the sleepy Andrew suddenly opened his bleary eyes. When he saw a magnified face in front of him, he was shocked, "Ashley?"
"Brother." Putting down the fist, Ashley turned into a harmless smile and said, "Cool, you just woke up. Come on, let's change another room."
Andrew remembered the days when Ashley had tricks on him and immediately wrapped himself tighter in the blanket, afraid that Ashley would trick him again!
Amelia explained, "Andrew, Ashley said that she misses her parents. Let's go to your Uncle Patrick's place. He will give you a sense of security."
Andrew had an incredulous look on his face. He thought that Ashley would have smiled at the gangsters even if she had been kidnapped, that she wouldn't have known what security was.
"It's true, Andrew." Ashley pointed at her tearful eyes, "I was crying just now..."
Andrew was speechless.
When Amelia appeared in the doorway of the master bedroom holding a child in each hand, Patrick, who was sitting at the desk reading a book, looked up just in time...
