Chapter 286


    Amelia couldn''t help but look at Patrick and think to herself that he had a way of getting Ashley


    under his thumb with a simple sentence.


    After Ashley wasid down, Patrick stretched out one hand to her through the two children. She


    was stunned and asked, "What do you want?"


    "What do you think I want?" Patrick impatiently nced at the things in her hand and reminded her,


    "Return my phone."


    Then Amelia threw the phone back to him andy down with her back to him...


    Staring at the back of her head for a moment, the corner of Patrick''s mouth turned up. Was she


    shy? It was kinda cute.


    The next morning.


    When Amelia opened her eyes, she found herself leaning against Patrick''s chest. His skin was


    smooth, but it didn''t feel girly, but rather masculine, which Amelia spected had something to do


    with his long and consistent exercise regimen.


    After a few seconds, she realized that now was not the time to study Patrick''s body. She had woken


    up with two children between her and hisst night. How was it that she woke up and she snuggled


    up to him?


    She tried to push Patrick away, but the two children behind her were so close to her that she


    couldn''t move.


    Amelia looked over with difficulty and saw that Andrew and Ashley, who were supposed to be


    sleeping in the middle, were squeezed in the outer edge of the bed, and the two children were now


    sleeping together in a somewhat harmonious position as twins should.


    At this time, she heard Patrick let out a muffled groan from his throat, which was one of the signs


    that he was going to wake up.


    For a moment, Amelia felt a little embarrassed and did not know how to face this sudden situation.


    But no matter how embarrassed she was, Patrick still opened his eyes.


    He lowered his head and said to her, "Good morning."


    She didn''t expect him to say hello to her as usual, so she replied slowly, "Ah, good morning..."


    Then, she felt the heat on her forehead. Patrick just actually kissed her, and said, "Morning kiss."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    His words of "morning kiss" made Ameliapletely quenched herints about him. As long


    as he could speak nicely, she might forgive him for smashing her phone.


    But the next sentence proved that Patrick hadn''t changed at all and was still the same guy she


    hated, "Remember to go to the finance department at work to im your cell phone bill."


    He mentioned this again!


    Amelia''s newfound warmth immediately turned to displeasure, and she simply got up, never wanting


    to see Patrick''s obnoxious face again.


    Patrick didn''t understand her, he really didn''t know how to impress women, or rather, he hadn''t


    pursued any other women except Sissi, and in most cases, it was women who pursued him.


    So, what should he do now?


    He couldn''t take back what he saidst night about paying for her phone, and with Amelia''s


    unhappy face, Patrick had a dilemma now.


    Amelia got out of bed, tied up her hair, and then quickly went into the bathroom to wash up, as


    Granny Hopper, Florence, and the two children were staying at home for the next few days, and she


    had to make a big breakfast.


    Before going downstairs, she hesitated for a while and finally said to Patrick, "Remember to wake


    up the kids at 6:30. Plus, you take them to school in the morning, and I will pick them up in the


    afternoon."


    Did she really have to be separated so clearly from him? Patrick said lightly, "Sure."


    When the figure of Amelia disappeared outside the door, Patrick''s face shed with a trace of deep


    thought. He reached out and pinched the little face of Ashley in her sleep.


    Ashley was a very wakeful girl, even Nora could only wake her up by touching her belly and gently


    talking to her, Patrick kneaded her like a rice ball, Ashley immediately opened her eyes wide in


    anger and stared at him!


    When she saw clearly that the person pinching her face was Patrick, the mes around Ashley


    instantly went out. She asked with enjoyment, "Am I going to school?" "Soon." Patrick took back his


    hand and said to Ashley who was holding a ttering smile on her face, "Before going out, I need


    you to do something..."


    In the kitchen on the first floor.


    Granny Hopper, who was preparing breakfast, turned around and saw that it was Amelia. She


    showed dissatisfaction, "Why don''t you sleep for a little longer?"


    "Granny, I thought that such a big family here, I should get up early to make breakfast. I didn''t


    expect you to get up earlier than me." Amelia said with regret. This should be her housework.


    Granny Hopper knew that Amelia was attentive to everything around the house, so she didn''t get in


    the way of Amelia''s chores, "Well,e over here and give me a hand."


    "Okay, grandma!"


    While they were busy, Granny Hopper asked in a low voice, "How''s your father?"


    Amelia seemed to want to tell a lot, but she just rubbed her sore nose and said, "Not good."


    "Then your mother..." Granny Hopper had noticed that she had said something wrong, quickly


    corrected it, "Hm... I mean that how does your stepmother n to do?"


    Indeed, Alice was really nice to George.


    Amelia said, "Alice can''t do anything about thepany, but she said that she would serve my


    father for the rest of her life."


    Granny Hopper said as an experienced person, "Since she said so, it proves that the current


    situation is not too bad. Sweetheart, don''t keep it in your heart. You can tell me, Florence, or


    discuss it with Patrick. He will help you."


    Amelia''s hand shook as she poured the milk, could Patrick help her with her mother''s grave?


    After breakfast, Florence excitedly said to Amelia, "Where are we going shoppingter? I''m going to


    buy thetest bag for Gi, the Enzo jewelry, and..."


    Florence had not finished her list of shopping yet, then Patrick interrupted her and said coldly, "Don''t


    forget that she is going to work today."


    Florence said rightfully, "She can ask for leave and not go to work."


    Patrick sneered, "Do you think people are like you and don''t respect their work?"


    "In fact..." Amelia said slowly, "I have nned to ask for leave with ourpany for a few days."


    Patrick''s eyes cover by a shallow annoyance as he wondered if Amelia was deliberately working


    against him.


    When Granny Hopper first came to Northville, Amelia had already had the idea of taking a leave of


    absence, but then he forced her to go to Hawoi City and she couldn''t take a leave of absence from


    thepany.


    Seeing that Patrick didn''t want to let her go, Granny Hopper smiled and said, "Patrick, please let


    Amelia rest for a few days so that I don''t feel lonely at


    home."


    Patrick exposed her and said, "Granny, your words are not convincing at all. Don''t you like peace


    and quiet the most?"
