Chapter 497


    Amelia frowned, and a thought shed through her mind, "I remember Milton and Maryanne have


    just been together for a few months. Why talk about getting married so soon?"


    Amelia then snapped out of her thoughts and said with a faint smile, "Auntie, howe the floor


    was dirty?"

    The housekeeper averted her gaze and said, "Well... I identally knocked over the dishes when I


    was cleaning up the table."


    Amelia understood at once and asked, "Auntie, Patrick did this, didn''t he? It was he who knocked


    over the tes off the table and you to have to clean up for him?"


    Amelia had hit the nail on the head. "Miss Amelia, don''t ask, okay?" said the housekeeper.


    "Okay, I won''t." Amelia showed a smile, but it was ever so cold.


    It was not only the housekeeper''s kind intentions that Patrick ruined.


    Seeing Amelia sat calmly at the dining table instead of looking for Patrick to settle scores, the


    housekeeper felt relieved and went to prepare


    some food for her.


    Amelia finished the lunch that the housekeeper made in silence. When she was about to clean up


    the tableware, the housekeeper''s voice sounded from the side, "Miss Amelia, since you''ve found


    out, can you help me send this upstairs?"


    Amelia threw a side nce and found a te of pasta in the housekeeper''s hands that looked the


    same as the one she ate just now.


    "What''s the matter?" she asked.


    "Mr. Hopper hasn''t eaten ever since you left. I''m worried that he''s starving," the housekeeper


    exined.


    "It''s just a meal. He won''t starve," Amelia said indifferently.


    "Are you sure about this?" asked the housekeeper.


    Amelia replied firmly, "Auntie, when he wasted the food that I cooked, he didn''t think twice about it.


    Anyway, I won''t send it to him. If you want to send it, you can send it yourself."


    The housekeeper sighed. Seeing Amelia pick up her coat in the living room as if she was heading


    out, she said in surprise, "Miss Amelia, where...where are you going now?" "Hmnn?" Amelia


    hummed. "I''m going to the hospital.


    I haven''t seen my father in a few days."


    The housekeeper sped her hands together.


    "But...what about Mr. Hopper?"


    Amelia looked up to where Patrick was on the second floor and answered indignantly, "I have my


    own life. I can''t deal with his bad temper."


    After Amelia left, the housekeeper thought for a while and decided to give the pasta to Patrick.


    She stood still, knocked on the door, and asked respectfully, "Mr. Hopper, are you having a rest?"


    After a long pause, just when she thought there would be no responseing out of the room, the


    door was pulled open from inside.


    "What''s the matter?" Patrick''s sharp eyes were bearing pressure into the housekeeper''s, which


    shook her hands that were holding the pasta.


    "Mr. Hopper, I noticed that you didn''t eat at noon, so I made you some pasta. Uh, I made this


    myself." The underlying message was that it had nothing to do with Amelia.


    Patrick pursed his lips slightly. The next second, he took the pasta and asked coldly, "Is she back?"


    " " The housekeeper hesitated for a moment.


    Patrick, who had just calmed down, red up at once. "I see! You can go now!"


    "Ah, Miss Amelia dide back, but she went out again..."


    Before the housekeeper could finish her words, the door was mmed shut by Patrick in her face


    with a bang!


    In the afternoon, at the hospital.


    "Dad, I''ll see you again next time." After she leaned over and said in her father''s ear, Amelia turned


    and walked out of the ward.


    After turning a corner, she saw Alice holding Brittany''s hand and immersed in a conversation with


    Daniel. From the different extents of happiness on Alice and Brittany''s faces, it was not difficult to


    tell that it was a joyous asion.


    "They''re probably discussing the details of their marriage," Amelia thought to herself.


    She looked away and was about to leave as if she had seen nothing when Brittany caught sight of


    Amelia and yelled out, "Sister! You''re here!"


    Hearing Brittany calling her ''sister'' made Amelia furrow her brows. Brittany was rarely so polite in


    her memory.


    Along with Brittany''s greeting, the other two people turned their attention to Amelia as well. Amelia


    pursed her lips and thought that she could not escape from this. So, she walked over and looked at


    Alice. ''Aunt Alice."


    Alice was stunned and eximed in surprise, "Hi!"


    Brittany''s expression changed at the side. When did her mother and Amelia''s rtionship ease up?


    Under Brittany''s jealous gaze, Amelia asked Alice, "Are you guys talking about the marriage?"


    As soon as she finished speaking, Amelia sensed a deathly re sent in her way. She did not have


    to look to know that it was from Daniel.


    Alice returned a smile and said, "No, it''s about another happy matter."


    "Oh?" Amelia said.


    Brittany chimed in, "I''m pregnant."


    Amelia could tell from her tone that she was deliberately trying to show off to Amelia. That was also


    the reason why she called out to Amelia in the first ce.


    Amelia''s lips fluttered as she looked at Brittany and Daniel. "Congrattions! This is truly a double


    blessing!"


    " " Daniel''s fingers that hung by his body


    clenched.


    Brittany rubbed her belly and put on an act, "Sister, even I''m pregnant. You and your brother-inw


    have been married for such a long time now, you have to


    work harder." "Brittany Ramsay!" Alice directly cried out her full name.


    Ignoring what Brittany had said, Amelia smiled at Alice and said, "Alice, I have somewhere I need to


    be. I''ll go back first. I''lle to the wedding of my sister and my brother-inw in two days."


    After Amelia left, Brittany muttered unhappily, "Humph, she said she woulde to my wedding,


    but did I send her an invitation?"


    Alice replied dejectedly, "I sent the invitations. Do you have any objections?"


    "Fine!" Brittany was still displeased.


    At this moment, Daniel, who had remained silent the whole time, suddenly said, "Mom, Brittany, I''ll


    take you two home. After that, I have to go to the development zone."


    Brittany stomped her feet and said, "Work again! I''m pregnant now, shouldn''t you spend more time


    with me?"


    Alice asked in confusion, "Daniel, isn''t thepany on holiday for Christmas?"


    Daniel said, "I have to keep an eye on the recently developed tourism area from time to time to


    prevent any mistakes. Otherwise, it may incur a fatal loss to thepany."


    Upon hearing this, Alice had nothing better to say. "Well, you can return to your work. You don''t


    need to send us off, we can go back on our own."


    Daniel did not leave immediately. Instead, he insisted, "Mom, it''s better to let me send you two back,


    or else I won''t feel at ease."


    Brittany said sourly, "I suppose you''re more worried about your unborn baby, aren''t you?"


    Daniel scratched her nose and said dotingly, "Childish! You''re actually jealous of your child. You


    need to remember, I had you before the child. So, who do you think I care more about?"
