The corners of Amelia's mouth trembled. She turned and rushed into the bathroom.
She needed to calm down for a moment!
Patrick let her go.
He had to admit that he was in a good mood at this moment because he had forced Amelia to have spoken the truth!
At the same time, downstairs.
Seeing that there was no one behind Florence, Nora could not help but asked curiously, "Eh? Florence, aren't you asked to call Patrick and Amelia to come downstairs? Why did you come back alone?"
Florence smiled meaningfully. "Nora, do you really want to know?"
Nora nodded, indicating that she really wanted to know.
Florence looked around the living room, and she suddenly rose her voice three times louder than her normal volume. "Do you really want to know?"
This time, not only Nora, even Granny Hopper and the others were all looking at Florence with interest. "Why are you laughing so happily, Florence?"
Florence said in a cocky tone: "Granny, he he... I'm going to talk about something you would definitely love listening to. It's an exclusive secret about Patrick and Amelia!"
Andrew and Ashley were at the side listening while calling out Gramps who looked calm. "Greatgramps, aren't you curious about what Uncle Patrick and Aunt Amelia are doing in secret?"
Gramps replied nonchalantly, "Great-gramps is not interested in such boring gossip."
"Oh." The two children responded and went to listen carefully to the gossip.
Despite his words, Gramps Hopper still pricked up his ears secretly.
Seeing that she had received the attention she desired, Florence immediately announced cheerfully, "Patrick and Amelia are busy making babies in the guest room! How was it? Isn't it really surprising?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ashley continuously agreed.
"Making babies?" After Andrew muttered these two words, a hint of joy appeared on his cute little face. "Yay, Ashley! We will soon have a little brother and sister!"
Upon hearing this, Ashley shook her head and said unexpectedly, "A younger sister can be doted on because she is a girl like me! But if it's a younger brother, I don't mind to personally teach him to be a little man."
Thinking of Ashley's demon-like personality, Andrew could not help shuddering. For the sake of the child's future, it was better for Patrick and Amelia to give birth to a little girl.
"Humph, absurd!" In the next second, a discordant voice sounded and immediately caused everyone who was giggling around to stiffen up.
Seeing that the one who snorted was
actually Gramps Hopper, Florence started to be afraid. She could not help but asked
Granny Hopper who was kind, "Uh... granny, did I say something wrong that made gramps angry?"
Granny Hopper glanced at Gramps Hopper and asked displeasedly, "What are you snorting about? If you have any dissatisfaction, you might as well say it in front of everyone."
"What day is it today? Why are they only concerned about dirty things like this! Of course it was absurd!" Gramps Hopper said with a poker face.
"I think you're too pedantic!" Granny Hopper said disapprovingly, "It's a good thing for young people to be more passionate and not control themselves! Haven't you always been minding that there hasn't been good news from Patrick and Amelia? Now that Patrick is working hard, why are you blaming him for
being overexerted?"
Everyone else was speechless.
Granny Hopper, could you please not insult such positive words like 'working hard'?
Nora, who usually had a thin skin, was the first to blush as she complained weakly in the bottom of her heart.
Compared to little evil Ashley, Andrew was as pure as a piece of blank paper.
Sometimes, Owen would be happy that his eldest son was absolutely pure. But sometimes, he would be puzzled as to why he was so innocent?! To the extent that he did not even bother to look at the situation!
Granny Hopper was a little helpless at Andrew's childish talk.
She reached out her hand to touch Andrew's little face and said, "The reason why great-granny didn't explain was because great-gramps knew the meaning of my words."
Andrew was silent for a moment. Just when everyone thought that this curious child had stopped, he asked, "But just now, great-gramps clearly said that he didn't know and he wanted greatgranny to say it."
"Well..." The corner of Granny Hopper's eyes seemed to have twitched. Then she turned back and displeasedly said to Gramps Hopper who was extremely mad, "Now go and tell Andrew. Have you understood the meaning of my words?"
Gramps Hopper suddenly opened his big eyes wide. His wife was forcing him to admit to the children that he was not capable!
This could not be tolerated!
In the sympathetic eyes of those who tried hard to hold back their laughter, Gramps Hopper suddenly picked up his crutch that was leaning against the armrest of the sofa.
Everyone looked shocked while Gramps Hopper stood his crutch heavily on the floor and walked out step by step.
Howard stood up in a hurry and asked with concern, "Dad, where are you going?"
"I'm going for a walk!!!" Gramps Hopper shouted, utterly discomfited.
After Gramps Hopper's figure disappeared in front of them, Florence patted her chest in fear. She said weakly, "I was scared to death. I thought that gramps was going to beat us with his crutch just now!"
Nora asked in surprise, "Will he?"
"Why not?!" Florence said seriously, "Nora, if you don't believe me, you can ask Owen. By the way, when Patrick comes down, you can also interview him. Oh, maybe dad had also beaten by gramps when he was young..."
