Alice's warning caused Amelia to glance at her wristwatch subconsciously.
After that, she looked up at George and said, "Dad, Mr. Hopper and I are going back. Get some rest. I will visit you again tomorrow."
"What time tomorrow?" George asked eagerly.
"Well..." Amelia thought for a moment, "Is it okay before noon? As you can see. I'm pregnant now, so I'm inevitably a bit sleepy."
And in fact, she did not want George to wake up early to wait for her.
"Okay! Dad will wait for you!" George said with anticipation
The next second, as George saw that Amelia took out her mask and put it on, he subconsciously asked, "Why do you wear a mask?"
As soon as he finished asking, George immediately thought of something and sunken his face. His lips also pursed tightly.
Amelia smiled and comforted him, "Dad, don't you think your daughter and son-in-law look a little too good-looking?"
George could not help but be stunned as he heard this.
"So, After exchanging a look with Patrick, Amelia continued with smiling eyes, "that's why we have to cover our faces with masks so as not to get into trouble on the way."
As soon as Amelia's words fell, George laughed. But there were tears in his eyes.
After leaning down and hugging George, Amelia whispered in his ear, "Good night, Dad."
George suppressed his heartache and maintained his smile as he replied, "Good night, my good girl..."
On the Land of Fragrance.
When the car drove here, Amelia couldn't help but grab the window edge with both hands. Her face close to the glass, murmuring to the familiar grass and trees outside the window, "Finally we are home..."
Patrick raised his eyebrows and parked in front of the small garden. He looked at the back of Amelia's head and said softly, "Amy."
"Hmm?" Amelia turned her face subconsciously, only to find that Patrick had already leaned over and was less than a fist eye from her.
"What's wrong?"
Patrick reached for her mask and stared at her for a moment. Then he said, "Nothing. I just suddenly wanted to have a good look at you."
Amelia tilted her head and looked a little cute.
No one knew why Patrick did this because he was worried that she would shed tears somewhere he could not see.
On the other side, Amelia who was somewhat puzzled but embarrassed by Patrick's probing gaze, couldn't help but mumble, "Have you, have you seen enough?"
Patrick blurted out, "Not enough, not enough for the rest of my life."
Amelia was sweetened by his words of love and could not help but show a sweet smile.
Patrick only felt his heart being gently ruffled back and forth by a feather. He couldn't help kissing her face and couldn't help kissing her white and tender neck, delicate collarbone, and then further down. When his hand inadvertently touched her stomach, his fiery attack couldn't help but slow down...
To be honest, when he stopped, Amelia was a little reluctant.
After panting lightly against him for a few moments, Amelia whispered, "I think, shouldn't we go home?"
Patrick held her shoulder and sniffed the fragrance around her neck. After calming down, he made a short "Yes".
Another close call...
When Amelia saw that he really holding his breath and waiting for her answer, she stopped teasing him. "Okay! I tell you, I like everything here! Thank you for your effort, Mr. Hopper!"
Her beautiful eyes gradually brightened as she spoke. Patrick couldn't help but smile and pretend to be calm. "I knew you liked it!"
Amelia then took his hand and said excitedly, "Let's go upstairs!"
"Okay, okay, you slow down."
When they were about to pass through the living room, an old man lying asleep on a two-meter-long chair, suddenly appeared in their eyes.
As the view was blocked by other furniture, neither Patrick nor Amelia saw such a person.
Fortunately, Patrick still remembered that he was the one who asked the old man to stay here. He whispered to the stunned Amelia, "Amy, he is a carpenter that I specially hired. Have you seen the chair under him?"
Amelia nodded.
"That's the 'beauty couch' that we once discussed with the blueprints. When he wakes up tomorrow, I'll bring you over to take a closer look."
Amelia suddenly understood and said, "Oh." Then she realized that her sound was too loud and covered her mouth. She then used the other hand to make a gesture of "go upstairs".
Just as they were about to leave, they heard a lazy yawn suddenly sound in front of them, which made them stop unconsciously.
"Huh? Why did I fall asleep?" With a murmur, the awakened old man saw two people standing not far away, which almost made him have a heart attack.
While the old man was fumbling to put on his glasses, Patrick kindly reminded him, "Mr. Lucas, it's me."
After Mr. Lucas heard the voice, he immediately relaxed and said, "Oh, it's you... Why did you come back in the middle of the night to pretend to be a ghost?"
