Being bitten, Patrick subconsciously let go of his hand and so Amelia stopped biting him.
At the same time, Amelia used all her strength to push Patrick away. After she managed to push Patrick a step away from her, she quickly ran away from him without minding to wipe the blood on her lips.
Before she could successfully escape from danger, Amelia was slapped in the face!
"Pat!"
The sudden slap not only made Amelia, but also Patrick, who was a step behind to catch her after turning back, to be stunned.
After coming to his senses, Patrick stepped forward and stood in front of Amelia, acting absolutely as a protector. He said to the attacker, "Mom? What are you doing!"
Eve angrily glared at Amelia, who was under the protection of Patrick. She said fiercely, "Patrick, get out of the way! Isn't this little b*tch still being arrogant after causing you to be cuckolded? Let me beat her to death!"
Seeing Eve started yelling, Patrick could not help but be very dissatisfied, "Mom, calm down. You've got things wrong!"
Eve snapped, "I don't believe it! I've heard it clearly in the corner just now. The jade bracelet on her hand was truly given by her childhood sweetheart!"
Patrick turned around and took a look at Amelia, only to see her slight drooping eyelids. He could hardly see any emotion on her face.
There was no discontent, no grievance, or pain. It was peaceful as if Eve's slap had never happened!
But on her left cheek, there was a clear handprint!
This handprint was enough to prove Eve's evil deeds!
Patrick felt a tug in his heart and could not help but said to Eve, who was still fixing a fierce gaze at the side, "Mom, let's talk about it in your room."
"Patrick!" Eve was exasperated, "She has treated you this badly, but you still want to cover her, worrying that other members of the family will get to know her disgrace? You're such a fool!"
Patrick frowned, but due to his current position, he could not talk loudly, "Mom, listen to me and take us to your room to talk about it! Or, do you want gramps take this chance to make groundless accusations and blame me?"
Eve started to take a step back as soon as she
heard this.
Presumably, she was also very clear about the contradiction between Gramps Hopper and Patrick.
She held back her anger at Amelia for the time being, which was yet to be vented completely, and said grumpily, "Fine, fine, both of you come with me!"
When Eve turned around and walked in the front, Patrick turned his head to Amelia and said, 'TH explain clearly to mom about this matter. You just need to keep quiet later."
Amelia did not say a word. Not only that, she stood still and refused to move.
If it were not for her breath and warmth, she would look like a wax figure.
Patrick knew that it was reasonable to behave as if she was temporarily cut off if she had been hit too hard or if she was in a very angry state.
He fully understood how much harm his mother had caused to Amelia through her action.
He was usually obedient to his mother. For the first time, he really hoped to hear an apology from her.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Eve seemingly turning around to hurry them. Patrick had no choice but to directly grab Amelia's wrist to drag her along.
Like a marionette, Amelia followed the footsteps of Patrick and moved forward in a slow and stiff
Besides, Granny Hopper had lived at Land of Fragrance for a period of time with Amelia. Her impression of this granddaughter-in-law was that she was optimistic and reliable.
In addition, whether it was for the old or the children, Amelia treated them with kindness and patience.
This was very important! This was exactly what Nora had lacked!
Sometimes, in order to run her own store, Nora even chose to ignore the fact that the two children
needed company.
Women were emotional creatures, and Granny Hopper was no exception.
To make it simpler, whoever could win more of Granny Hopper's affection was the one that she would naturally favor in her heart.
Apparently, Patrick and Amelia were superior in this aspect.
Therefore, this was also the reason why Granny Hopper yearned so much for the two of them to give birth to a child.
If it was their child, she would definitely take more care of him so as to repay her unspeakable guilt towards Patrick and her debt of gratitude towards Amelia, who had saved her life at the supermarket!
At the same time...
Eve slammed the door, turned back and snorted at Amelia, "You're lucky, you b*tch! If it weren't for gramps and granny's visit today, do you think you can cover your scandal like how you could right now?"
Hearing Eve keep on calling Amelia a 'b*tch', Patrick said with a heavy heart, "Mom, the man you are talking about is just a good friend of Amelia! I have always known this person. Please stop making something out of nothing."
"I'm making something out of nothing?" Eve looked mad. "Then what were you quarrelling about just now? I clearly heard that you accused her of wearing the jewelry given by another man. And she would rather die than to let you take off her bracelet! Speaking of this, why are you keeping your hand in your pocket? Take it out, I've already known that you were bitten by this b*tch!"
