Well, he was not in the mood to laugh!
Patrick's heart was in a mess. He did not want to care about anything for the time bring. He just wanted to take his wife home and to fiercely criticize her.
However, Amelia had perfectly blended into the pace of The Hopper Family, leaving him alone just like an outsider.
Seeing that the children were all here, Howard said to his parents, "Dad, mom, are you hungry? It's time to have dinner."
Gramps Hopper nodded. "Okay. You may go ahead and prepare it."
"Okay." In fact, Howard did not need to prepare anything. He just asked the chefs in the kitchen to bring the dishes that had been prepared.
During the meal, Gramps Hopper saw that Amelia's hair was still disheveled. He could not help but looked at it, then looked at it again... The cycle repeated itself, and he almost could not bear it.
If it was in the past, Gramps Hopper would have already expressed his dissatisfaction. Was it
because of Amelia's hug just a moment ago that had unexpectedly brought him some good memories of the past?
In the past, when Owen and Patrick were still children, they used to call him "gramps, gramps" while clinging by his side, like how Amelia did.
At that time, the two little devils knew nothing about rules, and he often carried them to have fun everywhere.
Later on, they grew up, and he became old, being unable to carry them anymore.
But the most saddening thing for him was not the fact that he had become old, but Patrick had unexpectedly disobeyed him severely just for a woman!
Even after so many years, Patrick was still unwilling to let go of what he had done back then!
Seeing Gramps Hopper's dark eyes falling on Amelia from time to time, Granny Hopper kindly reminded, "Amelia, the weather is hot. Why don't you tie your hair up?"
"Oh!" Amelia reflexively did as told.
The moment she tied her hair, mottled hickeys on her neck were suddenly exposed in front of everyone, resulting in different reactions.
"Wow!" Florence had always been the
straightforward one. She said immediately after looking at Amelia, "Amelia, the strawberries around your neck can be picked to be served as desserts!"
As Florence finished her words, Amelia finally came to her senses and covered her neck with her hands.
However, her covering action had her jade bracelet exposed in front of everyone.
This turned Florence on as she used to be familiar with jewelry. "Amelia, the bracelet on your hand... Is it the Phoenix's Blood Jade?"
"How did you know?" Amelia raised her eyes in surprise.
Florence smiled proudly, "Have you forgotten that I'm a shopping master? A shopping master definitely knows everything. But this Phoenix's Blood Jade itself is extremely precious. As you are able to wear it, there must be a part of Patrick's credit, right?"
Credit?
If it was about Patrick pinching her wrist so she eventually had to wear this bracelet, it was indeed his credit.
After all the sarcastic thoughts, Amelia said to Florence, "You've got it wrong. This is not from Patrick."
Hearing this, Florence was stunned. She subconsciously glanced at Patrick, only to see that his handsome face was gloomy and he looked like he was enduring something.
Florence sensed that something was wrong, so she smartly stopped asking about the origin of the jade bracelet.
Although she really wanted to know where Amelia had acquired the bracelet!
necklace."
Patrick said aggressively, "What if he has given you!"
"As I said! It hasn't happened yet, I can't give you an answer!" Amelia said it word by word. She was so annoyed that she wanted to push him away.
But Patrick pushed her to the wall behind and restricted her action with his strong and tall body.
Looking from behind Patrick, Amelia was nowhere to be seen! Not even a strand of hair.
Amelia originally thought that her back would be hit very hard, but Patrick had already put his hands between her and the wall to free her from the moment of collision.
After a moment of silence, Amelia stared at the man in front of her with anger. "Patrick, are you trying to mess with me in your parents' house? If dad sees us, he might blame our quarrel on Sissi, and she will be in big trouble!"
Patrick did not say a word and began to take off the jade bracelet on her hand. He did it with great force, showing how much he wanted to take it off!
Amelia trembled in anger upon his rude behavior. "Patrick, Milton gave me this! You have no right to take it off!"
Hearing that, Patrick's eyes darkened, and he was even more determined to take it off.
Soon, Amelia's white skin on her wrist and the back of her hand became red because of rubbing.
However, the bracelet was of perfect size as if it had been designed just for Amelia. It was impossible for Patrick to take it off in a short time.
"This is what you asked for!" Amelia could not bear it anymore. She lowered her head and bit Patrick's right hand!
Amelia bit it really heavily that it started to bleed after a short while!
