Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1981

Alice thought about it and said, "Well, I'll only make two of them stay. One of them will take the day shift and the other to take the night shift. If there is nothing else, they won't get involved with you and Cicily. What do you think?"

"Well, this is exactly what I wanted to say. You really know me well." Amelia said with a sweet tongue.

Alice raised her hand and brushed the tip of her nose. She said, "Alright, your room is basically like this. Are you lack anything? Just tell me, your father and I will get for you and Cicily."

By the time they returned to the living room, Ellison had already been passed to someone else. At this time, he was in the arms of Granny Hopper, who kept calling him baby and sweetheart.

When Owen saw her, he asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, where did you go?"

Hearing that, everyone turned to look at her.

Amelia said gracefully, "Alice took me to my room to see the daily necessities that she and dad prepared for Cicily. Ah, by the way! They also specially hired four nannies for Cicily to relieve the burden on me and Mr. Hopper."

Gramps Hopper thought that it was not easy for George and his wife to be willing to do such things for Amelia due to her background. So he said to them, "Thank you for your hard work."

George hurriedly said, "It's not hard. This is what we should do."

Alice whispered in Amelia's ear, "I didn't expect the old master to be so approachable."

Amelia nodded and said, "Although grandpa looks fierce, in fact, he is like an old baby. It's easy for him to get angry, but it’s easy for him to be coaxed too."

"Old baby?!" Alice's tone was full of disbelief.

"Yes, if you don't believe me, look." In order to eliminate Alice's fear toward the old master, Amelia walked toward Gramps Hopper.

At this time, Gramps Hopper and Granny Hopper were sitting side by side on the main seat. George only dared to sit on the sofa on the right side of Gramps Hopper.

But Amelia sat next to Gramps Hopper straight. She pulled the sleeve of his suit and called, "Grandpa."

"Hmm?" said Gramps Hopper.

Amelia asked softly, "I gave the Hopper family such a big treasure. How are you going to reward me?"

Gramps Hopper asked with interest, "What do you want?"

Amelia was dissatisfied. "How can I think of this kind of thing? It makes you look insincere!"

Hearing this, George was choked by his saliva and started coughing.

Alice also opened her mouth slightly.

Amelia was only a junior in front of the Old Master, but she dared to throw the question of the Old Master back to him. She was too bold!

Just as George was about to help his daughter out of the predicament, he heard Granny Hopper beside him say, "That's right! Why are you asking Amelia? Think about it yourself!"

Everyone discovered that ever since Amelia gave birth to Ellison, Granny Hopper became bolder and bolder and she even dared to repress Gramps Hopper.

Gramps Hopper didn't mind. He looked at Amelia and asked, "How about I leave a quarter of my inheritance to you and your child?"

Hearing that, all the people present fell silent.

Even the mindless Florence was stunned. It showed how powerful Gramps Hopper's words were.

Amelia did not expect the old man to say that. After a long while, she shouted uncertainly, "Grandpa?"

Gramps Hopper asked with austerity, "Not enough? How about half of it?"

Before everyone could regain their senses, they immediately fell into a state of stupefaction again.

Amelia felt that if she didn't say anything else, she would become the "sinner" who contended for the property with the Hopper family. "No, no, no, no! I mean... Grandpa, don't make such a joke!"

"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Gramps Hopper's face fell, extremely terrifying.

Amelia pouted and said, "Grandpa, what I want is sincerity. You, on the other hand, just directly offered me money. You know, we don't lack money at all. You didn't even give it a serious thought."

George and his wife were almost scared to death by her words. George, who did not know much, thought to himself, had his daughter been possessed by a ghost? If not, why would she have the guts to speak to Gramps Hopper in such a manner?

Alice, on the other hand, was extremely remorseful. She thought that she should have stopped her just now.

As for the Hopper family members, they admired Amelia a lot!

She was the only one who dared to ask for rewards from Gramps Hopper! And she was the only one who dared to say that the old man was insincere!

As for how Gramps Hopper was going to divide the inheritance and who he would give it to, they didn't have any negative thoughts. It was just like what Amelia said, their family didn't lack money at all.

"Little girl, don't tease me. Just tell me what you want. I will give you what I want."

This sentence was translated as: whatever you want, I will give it to you.

This made the men of the Hopper family, who had been living under Gramps Hopper's stick since they were young, feel very tired. It was not that Old Master wouldn't dote on them, but they were men!

Granny Hopper added, "By the way, Amelia, your grandfather and I were worried that you wouldn't want anything, so we planned to buy a few properties under your and Cicily's name."

Two lines of tears rolled down Florence's cheeks silently. "Who is their real granddaughter?"

Amelia didn't expect the two of them had such plans. At that time, she felt very warm in her heart. "Grandpa, since you can't think of it, I will say it directly."

"I want you to give Cicily a nickname. I believe that the name you give him will definitely make him safe for the rest of his life."

Everyone was slightly startled.

"That's why he's lonely," said Amelia with a smile. "Mr. Hopper and he share the same fate. That's why I know how to deal with him."

Alice sighed in admiration. Even if she knew this truth, she did not dare to act like Amelia.

*

At noon, George invited the Hopper family to have lunch together.

The Hopper family members were also willing to stay.

During the meal, there were many people who called Patrick one after another to congratulate him.

Patrick thanked them one by one.

Amelia waited for him to finish the call and asked, "It's been a week and there are still people calling to congratulate you?"

"Yes, some of them are abroad. They just heard the news." Patrick explained.

While they were talking, the doorbell rang.

The servant who went to open the door brought in a square box, which was about half the height of a person.

George and his wife were used to these things that suddenly appeared. These days, gifts from all directions almost filled up their house.

Some were given by Amelia's friends, some by Patrick's friends, and some by their relatives...

George and his wife would always filter first. If they could use them immediately, they would keep them for Amelia and her son. If they could not use them immediately, they would put them away first. They would take them out when Ellison grew up.

George said, "Let's see who sent it."

The servant looked down at the sender's information and said, "Master, the name 'Ryan Quartley' is written on it."

It was him!

The facial expressions of Patrick and the others became subtle.

Amelia whispered, "Uncle Quartley?"

The servant looked at her. "Miss Ramsay, do you want to open it now and have a look?"

Amelia came to her senses and said, "Okay."

The servant immediately took the scissor, opened the box, and took out the items inside.

What came into their eyes were a baby stroller, baby carriers, a baby electric rocking chair, and a baby formula brewer.
