Chapter 444
Seeing that Fabian had entered thest digit in his phone and was looking at him with a face of
inquiry, Patrick said casually, "Myst name is Hopper."
"Hopper!" Fabian entered the customer''sst name above the string of numbers.
"If anything happens to my dog, you can call me anytime. By the way, Dr. Lawson, I hope that you
will bring me good news. Otherwise, your store, which has just opened for two days, might be
closed soon."
Patrick nodded and walked away.
Fabian''s forehead was covered in sweat, was he being threatened? He definitely was!
On the other side...
Amelia got angry as soon as she saw Patricking back. She patted on the window and said,
"Patrick! Open the door, open the door now!"
Patrick did open the door, but only at the driver''s seat. Before Amelia could go on a spree, he
buckled up and stepped on the gas pedal. The car flew out in an instant and it frightened Amelia.
After a while, they returned to the outer yard of The Hopper Family. Amelia felt ufortable when
she thought about paying New Year''s respect to someone like Eve.
Seeing her moving back and forth with an uneasy look, Patrick said, "I have already taken care of
Rick''s matter. Dr. Lawson has used his store as a vouch that he would give you a healthy dog two
dayster."
If Fabian could hear what Patrick said, he would probably want to die.
However, Amelia had mistaken it as Fabian had the ability to cure Rick. The sadness on her pretty
face dissipated and the way she looked at Patrick was no longer as hostile as before.
The two of them passed through the outer yard one behind the other and entered the inner yard.
They then entered The Hopper Family''s main gate. After that, Amelia was shocked by the scene in
front of her.
She saw lots of unfamiliar faces and they were either ying or chatting with each other. Howard
was sitting together with Eve on the main seat. Both of them were enthusiastically entertaining
every guest in the house.
asionally, Howard would turn back and say something to Eve. Eve would then answer with a
smile. Their actions had caused everyone to praise them as the perfect role model for how a couple
should be.
Suddenly, someone''s gaze fell on Amelia. The girl uttered a cry of surprise before turning to Patrick
and asked, "Howard, is this the one you''ve chosen for Patrick''s marriage?"
"Yes, Second Aunt." Howard nodded to the person who asked the question.
Aunt E narrowed her eyes into slits. After examining Amelia for a while, she said, "She looks
pretty but she''s too thin. From afar, she looks like a bamboo pole..."
Before Howard could say anything, he heard a middle-aged woman beside him interrupting the
conversation, "Mom! Nowadays, girls wouldn''t dare toe out if they weren''t as thin as lightning."
Aunt E pursed her lips and whispered to her daughter, "Really? But I still think it''s much luckier for
her to be a little chubbier, just like my granddaughter."

The middle-aged woman was stunned for a while and then she let out a sigh.
The rtionships between big families wereplicated. In order to consolidate their interests,
some families would even allow marriage among close rtives.
And her daughter, Leah Dor, was thought highly by The Dor Family. Since she was young, she
had been carefully trained so that she could attract The
Hopper Family''s young master with her beauty and talent.
The Dor family, on the other hand, could take advantage of their daughter''s to form a close bond
with The Hopper Family. So that they could bear the same load and share the same honour.
Unfortunately, their ns did not keep up with the changes. Howard had found Patrick a wife and it
crushed the dreams of the Dor family.
Under the gazes of the Dor Family, more and more people noticed Amelia. Most of them were
probing or sizing her with curiosity. They were looking at her as if she was not worthy of being by
Patrick''s side.
Amelia felt stressful when they stared at her. She could not help but wonder, "Did Nora experience
this before?"
But, that was not the case.
Although Nora was the eldest daughter-inw of The Hopper Family, she was not like Amelia. She
had only married into The Hopper Family after passing through many trials and tests given by The
Hopper Family.
On the contrary, Amelia was like an intruder who was not recognized by others.
There was another crucial difference between them. The Hopper Family''s had already tacitly agreed
on
Patrick being the future master instead of Owen. Thus, the test for Patrick''s wife would naturally be
much stricter than Nora''s.
But the rtives in the family was not given the time to be fuzzy. The position of the future mistress
was easily taken away by this little girl. They would really want to look at this little girl''s capability.
Seeing that Amelia was standing stiffly in the same position, Patrick resisted the urge tough. He
secretly touched the back of her hand which is hanging by his side and said, "Why are you still
standing there?"
Amelia asked symbolically, "They are..."
"Rtives," Patrick replied.
So they were all the uncles and aunties...
Amelia was speechless for a while and then asked, "You knew they woulde today?"
"If not, why would I take you home?" Patrick asked.
Amelia was scared by his t tone and said, "Who was here? And how many of them? Which one
has a much higher role? Is there anything that I should avoid... You should have told me earlier! I
didn''t prepare any extra red packet! Don''t me me if I embarrasster."
Patrick raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to exin how many people would be here, a
sweet smile appeared on Amelia''s face. She took the initiative to hold his arm and said to him with a
fake smile, "Mr. Hopper, quickly bring me over for introduction!"
Patrick looked deeply at her and thought, "Her ability to adapt was really outstanding."
After standing in front of a man, Patrick turned his handsome face slightly and introduced him to
Amelia. "This is my granduncle."
"Granduncle? So he would be Master Hopper''s brother, wouldn''t he?"
Amelia thought about it and greeted, "Granduncle, Merry Christmas!"
"Mm..." the old-fashioned granduncle said in a deep voice. His wrinkled took over a gift box as he
stared into Amelia''s eyes...
What was the meaning of this? Amelia looked puzzled.
Shouldn''t it be her who bought them gifts as she was the one paying visit?
Patrick smiled and reminded her, "Mrs. Hopper, it''s just a gift from my granduncle. Please don''t be
shy, just take it."
"Oh, okay." Amelia immediately followed Patrick''s instructions.
