Chapter 293
Amelia reflected that she had been tricked by Ashley, and apologized to the security guard, "I guess I made a mistake, thank you very much."
The security guard replied gruffly, "You're welcome." Then he continued to guard the door.
More than ten minutes later—
"Auntie Amelia..."
Andrew and Ashley called out Amelia's name in tender voices as the other children's parents looked on.
The parents stared at Andrew and Ashley's young, round faces and said, "Oh my gosh, boy-girl twins!"
"Those kids are in great shape... My son is too picky of an eater, resulting in a bit of thinness!"
Listening to the chatter, Amelia felt proud that even though Andrew and Ashley weren't her children, she liked them very much and wanted others to like them too!
Reaching out, her hands taking each of them in turn, Amelia bowed her head and said, "Let's dine out tonight. Think about what you want to eat."
She thought they would be very fussy, but instead they each said, "McDonald's!" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"KFC!"
Ashley widened her eyes, "McDonald's!"
Andrew emphasized, "KFC!"
Ashley's mouth was pouted, "I want Uncle McDonald's! Last time, he asked me to ride on his neck!"
"I still think that Grandpa KFC is more kind to me! He was willing to let me play with his beard!" Andrew talked back.
Seeing Ashley's tearful eyes, Amelia said, "Andrew, you are her brother. Let's listen to your younger sister's suggestions."
But at this point, Amelia's persuasion was of no use to Andrew at all, "No, I'll let her be my older sister this time, as long as she lets me eat KFC!"
When other parents saw this, they sighed and said, "It's hard on their kids...".
Amelia was annoyed and couldn't help but yelled, "Shut up and listen to me..."
Suddenly, a man Amelia didn't expect to see got out of his Lamborghini and came to a stop beside her, "What happened?".
Amelia looked back, then blurted out in surprise, "Patrick... I thought I was supposed to pick up the kids after school?"
At this time, Ashley had already hugged Patrick's thigh and pulled his trousers, "Uncle Patrick, you're finally here. You must help me!"
Amelia was speechless.
The same to Andrew.
What kind of TV drama did Ashley usually watch? Her performance was too exaggerated!
In response, Patrick said to Amelia, in a predictable tone, "I was afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it on your own, so I came over to check it out."
Amelia was thankful for him because this situation was really difficult for her.
"Ashley..." Patrick lowered his head and said to the sweetheart in his arms, "If you cry again, your eyes will be swollen, and if your eyes are swollen, you will become ugly. I don't like the ugly kid."
Ashley immediately stopped crying and said to Patrick with a serious expression, "I want to be the most beautiful princess in your heart!"
Amelia was silent, a naughty child like Ashley needed a naughty adult to discipline her!
After placating Ashley, Patrick winked at Amelia and said, "Get on my car."
Amelia was hesitated, "What about my car?"
"It's simple. Well take the kids to school together tomorrow, and then you can drive it away."
"All right then..." Amelia said reluctantly.
In the car.
Soothing classic music was playing, Patrick asked in a husky voice, "What happened just now?"
Amelia glanced at the rearview mirror subconsciously. The two children, who had been arguing with each other before, were now sleeping with their heads against each other.
She looked at them petulantly, then lowered her voice to Patrick and said, "Florence said it was a rare opportunity to take Andrew and Ashley out to dinner, and Andrew said he wanted KFC and Ashley wanted
McDonald's, so they got into a fight."
Patrick laughed and said, "Stupid woman!"
"What?" Amelia was stunned.
Patrick added, "Don't doubt me. I'm talking about you."
Amelia glared at him, "If you were me, how would you deal with it?"
Patrick said casually, "I'll tell them that we order one from KFC and one from Mcdonald's, and that's it!"
Yes, why didn't she think of the simple solution? Amelia was chagrined.
Patrick was complacent, "What do you think? Am I intelligent and handsome?"
Amelia explained to herself, "I have never raised a child, so it's normal that I don't have the experience of coaxing children."
Patrick said in a teasing tone, "Have I raised a child before?"
They were suddenly silent on this subject.
Amelia didn't continue to ask for humiliation because she knew that Patrick didn't want to have a child with her.
As for Patrick... Even himself didn't know whether he rejected it or longed for a beautiful daughter who looked like Amelia.
After returning to the Land of Fragrance, Amelia took the two children into the bathroom to take a bath. They slept early last night, so they didn't take a bath until now. Fortunately, it's autumn, or it would be uncomfortable on their body.
Granny Hopper stood outside the bathroom and asked Amelia across the door, "Amelia, do you need my help?"
When Amelia was about to say no, Andrew suddenly whispered, "Auntie Amelia, you can go out. Let great grandma come in and help us take a bath."
Amelia showed a sad expression and said, "You don't like me?"
"No!" Andrew denied loudly, with his eyes dodging and not daring to look at Amelia.
Ashley, who had already taken off her clothes but underwear, sat on the bathtub and played with water, "He is just shy and doesn't dare show his naked body in front of you..."
Andrew was so angry, "Don't talk nonsense!"
It suddenly dawned on Amelia. No wonder Andrew hadn't taken off a piece of school uniform since she entered the bathroom. It turned out that he was afraid of shyness.
After leaving everything in the bathroom to Granny Hopper, Amelia closed the door to the hallway where Patrick was on the phone with his back to her, using the same phone she had given him.
She looked at the side of Patrick's face and thought that Patrick was the young powerful figure in Northville, but he was using the cheap and old fashion phone. She smiled warmly.
Seeing that he was engrossed in a conversation about something, Amelia wanted to walk over to him and scare him, so she took off her slippers and tiptoed over to him.
Almost at his side, a tiptoeing Amelia tried to scream loudly to scare him, but instead heard Patrick whisper to someone on his phone, "Did you say... she's divorced?"
Hearing this, Amelia's hand, which was about to touch Patrick's shoulder, suddenly stopped in the air.
Not sure what the caller said, but Patrick became very tense and she sensed depression in him.
