Patrick, who was sleeping on the sofa, woke up when they began to talk. After listening to them word by word, he thought that they could be at ease from today on.
When Amelia heard what he said, she asked in surprise, "Try to move on? Did Alice really say that?"
Patrick nodded with certainty.
Amelia felt delighted. "That's great. In this way, we can rest assured, but..."
Seeing that she suddenly stopped laughing, Patrick became serious. "But what?"
"I'm a little worried... did they say it on purpose so that we can relax our vigilance?"
In the end, she said in a worried voice, "I'm really scared. So, Mr. Hopper, we'd better not be at ease so soon, okay?"
"Let's wait until I give birth to Sicily. With him, I believe that dad will not do anything stupid.
What do you think?"
Being stared at by her bright and pleading eyes, Patrick could no longer think and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Amelia immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Hopper, you're so kind!"
"Don't be happy so soon." Patrick suddenly approached her and said in an evil tone, "You owe me a debt. After you give birth to Ellish, I will settle it with you."
Amelia suddenly took a deep breath, and he leaned over to her ear, holding her jade-like eardrop and whispering, "Don't think about getting out of bed in three days and nights."
Amelia's ten fingers hanging beside her curled up reflexively. "You... don't make trouble. Don't you still have to go to work? Hurry up and go have breakfast."
After persuading him to leave, Amelia looked at the time and found that it was only halfpast seven, so she closed her eyes and slept again.
When she woke up again, it was already nine o'clock. Thinking of the phone call with Kaiden yesterday, she immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
It took less than an hour for Amelia to clean up and accompany George and Alice to have breakfast. After breakfast, Amelia kindly ushered in Kaiden, who came to visit on time.
The young man was still as beautiful as a flower.
Of course, Amelia knew that Kaiden hated being praised for his beauty the most, so she gave him a simple smile, opening her mouth to welcome him inside.
Kaiden was stupefied. "You, you are going to give birth very soon, aren't you?!"
Amelia said with a smile, "Well, yes."
Kaiden's brain slowly returned to normal. "Did you name it?"
Amelia nodded. "Yes. His name is Ellison."
Kaiden followed after her and asked, "A boy?"
"That's right."
"I see..."
The young man thought, "What's so good
about a boy?"
But seeing Amelia being happy about it, he changed it to "It's good to have a boy. He can protect you."
Amelia said in agreement, "That's what I think too."
"Hey." Kaiden raised his hand at this moment. "This is a gift for your dad."
Amelia looked at it and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy cigarettes and wine? Why did you buy fruits?"
Kaiden said, "Didn't you say that your dad can't drink too much? I later thought about it and felt that smoking is not a good thing too, so I simply followed your suggestion and bought fruits."
"Thank you, they will definitely like it," Amelia said and turned around. "Come in, I have already told them that you are coming."
"Ah?" Kaiden asked a little nervously, "Does your dad know me?"
Amelia smiled and said, "My dad is in the construction industry, and you are talented in this field. Of course, he knows you. For him, you're young and promising."
"Is, is it true?"
Amelia could sense that he was nervous and could not help comforting him. "What's wrong with you? My dad is not a monster that eats people. Don't be nervous."
"Am I nervous?" Kaiden anxiously licked his thin lips, deceiving himself, "No way!"
"Okay, come in with me." Amelia crooked her finger at him.
After Kaiden changed into slippers, he carried a fruit basket and followed her into the back.
He could feel that his heartbeat would become abnormal if he got closer to her.
He really wanted to hug her...
Her face looked a little rounder than before. He believed that holding her must be very comfortable, right?
"Ah, damn it!"
The more he thought about it, the more jealous he was with Patrick...
George and his wife felt the strange aura surrounding them and could not help but feel puzzled.
"Mr. Hopper." Just as Patrick and Kaiden were looking at each other, Amelia intervened and said, "Kaiden came to discuss the Easthern District project with dad."
"Really? I'd like to talk to him about it too." Patrick put on a hypocritical smile and said to Kaiden, "I have already asked an expert to go through your design drawings. They said that there is still a lot of space for improvement. Are you sure that you didn't draw a few strokes to fool Amy?"
Hearing this, Kaiden immediately looked very serious. "I can swear that I put all my effort into designing the plans for Easthern District project. You can question my ability, but you can't question my attitude!"
Patrick smiled. "It seems that that's all you've got."
Kaiden asked unconvincedly, "Who are the experts that you mentioned? Tell me their names. Maybe I know them."
"David, Bentley Owen..."
Patrick read out the names of the world-famous construction designers he asked his secretary to contact.
Upon hearing this, Kaiden sneered. "Bullsh*t! They are all world-renowned masters. How could they waste their effort on a design drawing?"
Patrick said lightly, "Haven't you heard of a saying that money makes the mare go?"
Hearing this, Kaiden said coldly, “If what you said is true, then I have to admit that no matter how powerful I am, I can't compare with those masters who have been famous for many years. Can I see what mistakes they have pointed out to me?"
Patrick said, "I put the drawings in the company. After all, they are not precious things. I don't have to take them with me at all times."
Kaiden's face turned cold.
"Patrick, Kaiden." George saw that the atmosphere was becoming tenser and tenser. He could not help but say, "Come, sit down and have a cup of hot tea."
Patrick raised his brows at Kaiden and sat on the sofa that was nearest to Amelia.
Although Kaiden's desire for Amelia was no longer so obvious, he would still be challenged by Patrick's actions of ownership.
He had to join the Easthern District project! Because he wanted to become a great contributor that Amelia would never forget!
Therefore, no matter how much Patrick despised him or provoked him, he had to endure!
"Yes, I do have some shortcomings. I don't know if you can invite those masters to Apex Construction Corporation and let me ask them for advice in person."
"Of course." Patrick answered in a relaxed tone, "But I can't guarantee that they'd like to teach you."
Kaiden ground his teeth. "Don't worry. I'll ask them to help me myself!"
Amelia looked at Kaiden sympathetically. His current self-esteem was absolutely trampled by Patrick.
