Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1545

Was Ashley using this trick on him?

Andrew was so infuriated that he cackled from anger. "Anyway, you can't touch the ponies. Or I'll report it to Mommy."

"You! You bully... you're horrible!" Ashley cried from frustration.

The two ponies looked adorable and easy to tame, so what was Andrew worried about?

Ashley's wails minged with the songs from the livestock, creating a devil's noise. The couple in the next room suffered from the horrendous wakeup call.

And Patrick, who had just calmed down, was once again irate.

Amelia looked at him, then gently lifted the quilt off her and said, "I'll go and see what's going on."

"No, I'll go." Patrick pulled her back and got off the bed.

Seeing his fiendish expression, Amelia could not help but say, "Mr. Hopper, Andrew and Ashley are kids. Watch your words."

Patrick merely hummed as a reply.

Moments had passed and Amelia started to worry when Patrick did not return after a long while.

When she saw the scene in Nora's room, Amelia rubbed her eyes.

Was Ashley riding on Patrick's neck?

"Oh, yeah! I'm riding a horse!" Under Ashley's buttock was Patrick's dispirited face.

"Good horse! Walk to the left!"

"To the right!"

"Go forward!"

"Turn around!"

"Jump! Ah! I hit the ceiling!" Patrick was tall, and with Ashley on his shoulder, it was no surprise that she had bumped into the ceiling!

"Run! You're almost running into the wall! Swish...!" When Ashley yelled 'Swish!', she did not forget to grab Patrick's fringe as a leash.

Amelia's mouth twitched, suddenly finding Patrick had an admirably good temper.

Just then, a gentle voice sounded from behind her. "Amelia, what are you looking at?"

Amelia turned to the source of the voice. "Nora, Mr. Hopper is playing with Ashley."

"Oh? What are they playing? Let me see..."

As Nora spoke, she looked into the room. Then, she put on the same expression as Amelia.

But in the next second, when she saw Patrick's forehead, Nora froze. She questioned in great shock, "Amelia, what happened to Patrick's forehead?"

Upon hearing her, Amelia noticed then that Ashley had bunched up all of Patrick's hair in her hands. Without his hair as cover, the scar on his forehead were completely exposed!

"What should I do? Nora saw it!" Amelia thought worriedly.

Amelia curled her hands into fists in a panic, at loss about what to say.

Noticing her reaction, Nora asked Patrick instead, "Patrick, how did you get the scars on your forehead?"

This time, Nora was not the only one who discovered it. Andrew and Ashley had also noticed it.

When Ashley saw the scar at close range, she burst into tears and cried her heart out.

Although Andrew did not cry, he looked up at Patrick with anxiety and fear.

Patrick fiddled with the fringe that Ashley had just let go of and said to the crowd, "It's okay. I'm fine."

"What exactly happened!" Nora asked in a low voice.

It was obvious that it was not an injury that came out of a trivial fight. Thinking about how her husband's beloved brother was wounded severely and they knew nothing about it, Nora felt like she was not worthy of being his sister-in-law.

Ashley sobbed while saying, "Woo... Uncle Patrick, who bullied you? Tell me... I will avenge for you...!" After that, she let out a hiccough.

Andrew was also looking at Patrick with a determined expression.

So, Patrick had no choice but to tell Nora about the car accident. When he told the story, he did not mention Eve at all, treating it as an ordinary car accident.

"What about the perpetrator? What's their name? How much did they compensate you?" Nora asked a few questions in a row as if Owen had possessed her.

Fortunately, Patrick was sharp- wilted. He first blabbered a name then created a reasonable amount of compensation. From Nora's expression, it seemed like she believed him.

"Patrick, look at you. How can you hide such a severe accident from Owen and me?"

"I just didn't want you two to worry. Owen would've done the same." "Don't use Owen as an excuse!" After shooting him a glare, Nora questioned, "Are there any other injuries other than the one on your forehead?"

Patrick lied with no change in his expression, "No." "That's good to hear." After Nora nodded, she said to Ashley, who was still wiping away her tears, "Hurry and get off from Uncle Patrick!"

"It's Akira and Hinata, right?" Nora snapped back to reality.

"Someone's coming!" Amelia reminded.

A moment later, Akira, who was carrying a gun, appeared in front of them. They could see that his gun was still smoking at the nozzle.

At the sight of them, Akira could only smile. After that, he slowly walked away, holding the skinny lamb in one hand and the eagle in the other.

"It seems that we can have more food for lunch," Amelia said with a faint smile.

"No way! That's too hardcore!" Nora was not interested in eagle's meat.

When noon arrived, Nora gasped when Hinata sent them a bag of bloody shredded meat. Nora did not ask what meat was it because Hinata was answering excitedly, "This is the meat from the eagle that Akira shot in the morning. Mommy asked me to give it to your family after she handled it."

"Do we have to take it?" Nora's smile stiffened as she turned to Amelia.

Amelia glanced at Hinata's expectant expression and whispered, "Just take it."

"Oh my god!" After Hinata left contentedly, the fake smile on Nora's face faltered in an instant. Her hand that was holding the bag trembled slightly. "I never thought I would eat a wild animal one day. If Owen was here, he would definitely say with a straight face, 'The lightest punishment is the administration's responsibility whereas the most severe punishment will be the criminal's responsibility."

"Pfft." After sniggering, Amelia took the bag from Nora's hand and said, "If you don't like it, then don't force yourself. Hinata looked like she wanted us to accept it, so I couldn't bear to turn her down."

While they were speaking, Patrick returned from work. When he saw the two ladies whispering in the living room, he called out, "Amy, Nora, I'm back."

Amelia and Nora turned around. Seeing his wife carrying a bag of bloody meat, he asked curiously, "Amy, what meat is it?"

Amelia answered honestly, "Eagle's meat."

Patrick raised his eyebrow slightly and repeated in surprise, "Eagle's meat?"

"Yes, an eagle came to the farm to steal a lamb this morning and Akira shot it. Mrs. Kaito then handled it and asked Hinata to send it to us. Nora and I are trying to figure out what to do with it."

Seeing the concern on their faces, Patrick knew what to do and replied, "It's fine. Give it to me. I'll take it back to the Kaitos. I'll just tell them I'm not used to eating game meats."

Game meats?

An eagle was a predator!

Amelia resisted the urge to correct him and handed the bag over. "Then sorry to trouble you. I shouldn't have let Nora accept it."

"It's always hard to reject children." Nora chimed in from the side.
