Chapter 130
After a while, Patrick hung up the phone with a serious face. Amelia asked him what had happened
silently with her eyes.
Patrick said, "It''s a call from dad. He wants us to go home immediately and talk about what
happened at the birthday party yesterday."
Amelia''s heart sank, and she exined subconsciously, "I didn''t steal Maryanne''s brooch!"
"I know." Patrick answered quickly.
Amelia felt not happy at all. If he really believed her, why didn''t he speak for herst night?
She didn''t ask him to help her. What she wanted was only his attitude and trust, but he chose to
remain silent.
In the Hopper Family.

In the living room, Howard and Eve sat side by side. Amelia and Patrick walked to them and didn''t
sit down until Howard asked them to do so.
Howard looked at Patrick and said, "Owen told me about what happenedst night. Was that how
you take care of your wife? You made her disgraced in front of so many strangers!"
Amelia was greatly shocked. She didn''t except that Howard would me Patrick instead of her.
Eve was surprised. Her teasingly expression froze as she said, "Dear, you..."
"I haven''t finished my words yet." Howard took a sip of tea, then said to Eve, "How could be as
unreasonable as Patrick? Was it you who asked the police to take Amelia to the police station?"
Eve pointed at Amelia, who lowered her head aside, and retorted, "Was it wrong for me to do that?
She stole Maryanne''s brooch! Dear, you should thank me for sending her to the police station in
time. Otherwise, she would have our family disgraced!"
"Dad, Mom." Patrick interrupted their argument calmly, "It is a multi-million dor brooch. If we didn''t
send Amelia to the police station, Maryanne wouldn''t let her go so easily." After a pause, he said
again, "After that, I contacted the police station and they promised not to put it on record. Dad, do
you think it''s considerate?"
Howard paused for a moment and then nodded. He was angry because he thought that Patrick
didn''t protect Amelia. However, after hearing Patrick''s words, he felt better.
Amelia looked at Patrick in surprise when she heard what he said. It turned out that he had already
helped her when she didn''t know.
However, why didn''t he tell her? Amelia misunderstood him as a heartless person.
Eve was afraid that Howard would scold Patrick again, so she changed the topic quickly, "By the
way, dear, don''t you have something to tell Patrick?"
Howard knew what Eve was thinking about. Every time he wanted to teach the child a lesson, she
would try her best to stop him.
This time, Howard said with a dignified and cold expression, "I don''t need you to remind me."
Eve was annoyed. Howard had been getting ruder and ruder to her recently. She thought that it was
all Amelia''s fault. Since Amelia married into the Hopper Family, their family conflicts had been
increasing day by day. Eve made up her mind to teach Amelia a lesson.
Although Eve was angry, she said calmly, "Patrick, grandpa has contacted us more than once. He
asked you to take Amelia back to Das to visit him. Are you free this weekend?"
Hearing it, Patrick said unhappily, "I don''t have time. Maybe next time."
Howard felt that Patrick was so perfunctory. He gave Patrick an ultimatum, "Do you know why
grandpa called us? It''s because your never answered his phone call! You have been married for
several months and he has asked you to visit him many times! If you don''t go to Das, he will
come here personally. Decide yourself."
Eve persuaded Patrick, "Yeah, Patrick, grandpa and grandma are old. Can you bear to see them
running back and forth?"
Patrick was still unwilling.
Howard came up with in idea and said, "We can understand that you''re busy with work. As long as
you go to see grandpa this weekend, I won''t urge you and Amelia to have a honeymoon. What do
you think?"
Patrick thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay."
Amelia listened quietly aside. It was meaningless for her and Patrick to go on a honeymoon,
because they
might have a fight on the ne.
After leaving the Hopper Family, Amelia noticed that Patrick was frequently distracted while driving.
She asked, "What''s wrong with you?"
Patrick said absent- mindedly, "Nothing. It''s a bit stuffy in the car."
Therefore, Amelia rolled down the window beside her and said, "Is it better now?"
Patrick said yes causally, and then smiled brightly, "Why are you so considerate all of a sudden?"
Amelia said ndly, "Because you helped mest night. I''m grateful."
"It wasn''t a big dealst night." If it weren''t for Howard, Patrick wouldn''t let Amelia know what he
had done for her.
Amelia frowned and said, "Sometimes, you think it''s a very small thing, but it may be very important
to others."
Patrick focused on driving and asked without turning his head, "Mrs. Hopper, do you know what you
look like now?"
Amelia asked, "What?"
Patrick said slowly, "A... resentful... woman!"
Amelia looked at the rearview mirror with grievances. Did she look like that?
She was just dissatisfied with his way of doing things. Whether it was about the "Three year
agreement" or the incident about Maryanne, he never told her what he had done. They were
husband and wife, and he didn''t have to conceal her.
Even though she was depressed, she didn''t forget to ask, "You became unhappy when dad and
mom mentioned grandpa. Why?"
Patrick looked at her helplessly and said, "Mrs. Hopper, have you ever heard of the generation gap?
There is a generation gap between grandpa and me."
Was that so? Amelia felt that things were not as simple as he said.
On the Friday evening.
When Amelia was packing up the clothes in the room, Patrick suddenly came behind her and
hugged her. In a blink of an eye, he held her on hisps.
"What are you doing?" Amelia wanted to push him away.
Patrick did not speak, but buried his handsome face in her neck. He had just finished taking a
shower, and water was dripping down his hair. Amelia got wet all over because of him. But she
couldn''t get angry with him.
Having been with him for a long time, she found that this posture was his favorite.
Every time, he unconsciously rubbed her face and neck with his nose eagerly.
