Hearing this, Patrick felt warm in his heart and just wanted to hold her in his arms.
After George gave his eldest son- in- law a jealous look, he said to his eldest daughter, "Okay, I won't let your husband suffer. I will take care of it myself, sigh..."
Seeing George close the door with a lonely face, Amelia hurriedly said, "Dad! Don't be like this!" He looked so pitiful.
Patrick was already numb to the fact that he had a father-in-law at home to compete for his favor. Outside, he had Kaiden competing with him. After gently touching his wife's belly, he said to George, "Dad, I will help you clean up."
George subconsciously looked towards his eldest daughter.
Looking into the old man's eyes full of vicissitudes of life, Amelia released Patrick's arm with tenderness and said, "Well, but don't forget to come out for dinner."
George turned his sadness into joy and asked Patrick to come in to help.
The second before Patrick entered the door, he suddenly said, "Dad, let's make it clear first. Don't blame me if I accidentally saw your manuals during the cleaning up."
Hearing this, George was stunned. He vigilantly changed his words and said, "Then I don't need your help! Go and call a servant over!"
Amelia could not help but chuckle.
Patrick took her hand and said to George, "Yes, Amy and I will go right away."
When the two walked away, Amelia could not help but raise her hand and gently beat Patrick's chest. She said, "You are so bad. My dad couldn't even speak clearly."
A faint smile appeared on Patrick's lips. "I was just reminding dad."
Amelia said, "Why didn't I think of it just now? Dad printed so many chess manuals to crush you. If you see all of them, won't he have no bargaining chip?"
After catching a glimpse of Alice sitting in the living room, Patrick winked at his wife in time and said, "Whether or not dad has the help of the chess manuals, he is very good at playing chess."
Amelia said with a tacit understanding expression, "Yes, yes, yes, Dad is really good at playing chess!"
After hearing the "conversation" of her eldest daughter and son-in-law, Alice smiled again.

Home of Smith.
When Hobart woke up, he saw his father sitting not far away.
He opened his mouth and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Dad..."
"You're awake? How do you feel?" asked Tony, unable to conceal his concern.
"I don't feel anything." Hobart sat up, touched his throat, and said expressionlessly, "I'm just a little thirsty."
Tony pointed at the cup beside his bed.
Hobart lifted the blanket and reached out to grab it.
After solving his thirst, Tony asked, "You were sent back by the taxi driver last night, and then you were dragged back. Can you tell dad what happened?"
Hobart said in a low voice, "I was drunk, and then I ran to the hotel to find Maryanne."
Tony was a little surprised. "And then?"
"After that, I asked her to come home with me."
Hobart was clearly drunk and unconscious last night, but every detail was so clear that it made Hobart feel suffocated.
"Dad, don't tell me you want to admit defeat like this?" Hobart's expression darkened. "Maryanne is your daughter and my sister. Aren't you worried about her future life if you leave her to a man who hurt her before?"
"Hobart, you'll be in a mess if you worry. I know you love Maryanne very much, but..."
"No but, we won't lose!"
After getting rid of his previous bewilderment, Hobart once again returned to his usual stance.
He would continue to settle accounts with Milton for grabbing his sister!

Today was not only a torture for Hobart, but also for Jarvy.
Since he came to the company in the morning, he had been receiving weird gazes that showed "what a pity" from the employees.
The feeling of loss yesterday came to his mind again. He couldn't help but grab a staff member and ask why the other party looked at him like this.
So the other party told Jarvy what Maryanne had told them, which had been wildly spread, "Miss Maryanne Smith said that she has a boyfriend she loves a lot.
But you came in between them. You even said to her that it didn't matter if you were a third party, as long as you could get her love...
As a result, you treated her very well, but she regarded you as a back-up. She called you whenever she needed you, and when she didn't..."
"Enough!" Jarvy lost his composure and shouted loudly, "Get lost!!!"
The employee who spoke had never seen him like this, and he hurriedly left.
