"True, true! I have the same feeling!"
Speaking of dealing with Amelia, Winifred thought that she had the most right to speak. "Although Ms. Ramsay smiled at me, the coldness in her bones caused me to hardly look at her. That's why I advised Shawn not to have wishful thinking about her."
"You...!" Shawn was unconvinced and wanted to fight back, but he saw Gramps Hopper walking towards him step by step from the corner of his eyes.
Shawn's heart suddenly trembled. He heard from his elders that Gramps Hopper was known for hitting others with his crutch. Would he become the victim of the crutch too?!
Xu Wan and Gu Jinnian covered their faces as they could not bear to look straight at them.
Just when the three of them, including Shawn himself, thought that it was the end of him, Gramps Hopper stopped in front of him, raised his hand, patted heavily on his shoulder and praised by saying, "Good boy! You have a good taste! I was worried that Amelia would be lonely for a period of time after her divorce, but I didn't expect you to have discerning eyes and actually fall in love with her.
Good, very good..."
Shawn, who was almost patted into the ground, could not care about his pain at the moment. He just stared blankly at Gramps Hopper, who was laughing heroically.
Winifred and Neal, who had heard Gramps Hopper's words as well, could not help looking at each other. They could both see the disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Kid!" Gramps Hopper no longer let Shawn to be in confusion as he asked, "When are you going to start pursuing my little girl?"
Shawn's eyes greatly widened. Gramps Hopper's question was too sudden that he needed some time to digest it.
[Pursuing my little girl?]
Since Gramps Hopper had already assigned Amelia into the Hopper Family, why would he still encourage Shawn to chase her?
The smart one, like Neal, had already had a few turns in his mind. While the ordinary person, like Winifred, could only be anxious at the moment.
After a long time, Shawn finally learnt to speak. "But... Gramps, I...I have to go back to the army tomorrow..."
Gramps Hopper was unexpectedly friendly when he asked, "Shawn, which troop are you in?" "Troop ninety-eight," Shawn replied.
"Troop ninety-eight?" Gramps Hopper mumbled and said in a relaxed tone, "I remember that your current leader is a former disciple of my comrade-in-arms.
I'll help to apply the leave for you."
"What?!" Shawn almost roared out as he questioned.
"Gramps, you must be kidding, right?" Xu Wan looked like she was going to cry.
Gu Jinnian pursed her lips and chose to keep himself away from trouble.
Gramps Hopper looked at Shawn and said in a serious tone, "Starting tomorrow, you must be as unyielding and fearless as how you did in the army, putting all efforts in conquering Amelia's heart!
By the way, you may just stay here tonight. I'll talk to you about Amelia's character from what I know. You may come in with me. As for Xu Wan and Gu Jinnian, the two of you may leave!"
After skillfully parked the Lamborghini in front of Amelia's house, Patrick glanced out of the window peacefully.
The weather was good that night as there was a cold breeze while the moon could clearly be seen. No wonder the young lady in the car fell asleep.
He raised his hand and wanted to wake her up. But he eventually touched her soft cheek gently with the back of his hand...
While gently touching her smooth skin, Patrick cursed in his heart. He could not help it. He really could no longer hold it back!
However, how could such a simple touch be able to quench the thirst in his throat?
Amelia quickly replied, "Thank you! Goodbye!"
Then she turned around and was about to get off the car.
With a flash in his eyes, Patrick grabbed her waist with one hand, turned her head with the other and kissed her lips recklessly!
Amelia's upper body was firmly fixed in the middle of his shoulder and in her seat. She could only hit his chest with her hands continuously. But her little strength meant nothing to him as a man.
No matter how she resisted, Patrick still kissed her as how he wanted to and it was even getting more intense.
Until his cell phone started to ring in his trouser pocket out of a sudden...
Patrick was slightly pulled back to his senses. He lowered his head and greedily pecked at Amelia's lips for a few more times before letting her go.
He originally wanted to turn off his phone after taking it out, but when he saw Eve's name on it, he decided to answer the call.
Patrick also noticed that Amelia was trying to slip away again so he sneered and immediately locked all of the doors. She could only wait till he release her.
Amelia was so angry that she clenched her fist to hit him, but he wrapped it with his other palm that was much larger than hers.
As he dealt with Amelia, he did not forget to put some of his attention to talk with Eve. "Mom, I am already an adult. I don't have to go home every day and report my whereabouts, right?"
His words sounded casual, but there was a sense of defiance and impudence.
"You're asking where I am now?" Patrick cast a glance at Amelia, which made her a little nervous.
If Eve knew that her dear son got together with his ex-wife at the moment, Amelia would probably get into trouble.
