There was an old lady sitting in the living room. Her hair was white and there was a pair of presbyopic glass on her nose. She was peeling the peanuts in the basket slowly. "Grandma." Patrick called her excitedly, then she raised her head in surprise, "Patrick?"

It was only then that Amelia saw that her face clearly. Her face was comely and her eyes were amiable. Was she Patrick's grandmother?

Granny Hopper stopped peeling the peanuts and stood up to greet Patrick. She touched Patrick's face and sighed, "My dear Patrick, you're still so handsome."

Granny Hopper noticed Amelia who was next to Patrick soon. She took a step forward and looked at Amelia up and down carefully. Then she said, "You're as beautiful as your father has described." Amelia's face blushed a little, "Grandma, you're flattering me."

Patrick glanced at Amelia with the corner of his eye and mumbled, "Is she as beautiful as you said?"

Granny Hopper scolded him with her face darkened, "You brat, what are you talking about?"

Patrick shook his head and said, "Grandma, did I say anything? You must have misheard me."

Amelia was surprised that Patrick blinked in front of Granny Hopper.

Granny Hopper took Amelia's hand intimately. When she touched the callus in Amelia's palm, she smiled more happily.

Because she knew from Amelia's callus that she was an industrious girl. She liked Amelia more, "By the way, your grandfather is upstairs. Come and meet him with me."

Patrick said in a hurry, "Grandma, let me support you."

"No!" Granny Hopper smiled kindly. "I want Amelia to take my hand."

Patrick ordered Amelia, "Watch the road. Mind grandma don't fall."

"I see." Amelia was very depressed. Was she that unreliable?

In the study.

Grandpa Hopper sat in the center of the sofa. He dressed in a black-and-white Taoist robe, and there was a with a cane in his left hand. He was dignified and grave.

After recognizing Patrick, he suddenly stood up from the sofa and punched Patrick's leg with his cane, "Why don't you come back until now!"

Grandpa Hopper was fierce and strict, which was completely different from Granny Hopper.

Amelia was scared that when she saw that Patrick was beat by Grandpa Hopper.

After a while, she looked at Grandpa Hopper nervously, only to replace that he was calm, as if beating Patrick in this way was normal!

Patrick felt painful in his shin, but he didn't say anything. He looked at Grandpa Hopper and said stubbornly, "I really don't want to come back. It's you who begged me to come back to see you." Grandpa Hopper's face darkened as he said in a trembling voice, "How dare you!"

Granny Hopper stood in front of Patrick and scolded Grandpa Hopper, "Do you know why Patrick is unwilling to see us? Because you're too fierce every time he comes! No one wants to see you!" Hearing this, Grandpa Hopper couldn't say a word. Then he sat on sofa, pointed at Patrick and said, "You have been disobedient since you were a child. Compared with your big brother, you are really..." "Worse than him, right?" Patrick said coldly.

Grandpa Hopper snorted and said, "You're quite self-aware."

Patrick smiled as usual, but no one knew how sad he was.

Granny Hopper smiled bitterly and said to Grandpa Hopper, "Don't say that more!"

Then, she pulled Amelia in front of Grandpa Hopper, "Didn't you always want to see Amelia? Look, she's here."

Grandpa Hopper glanced at Amelia. Maybe it was because Patrick made him unhappy, he said unfriendly, "She is so thin. No wonder Eve told me on the phone that she is not pregnant yet." Amelia didn't know what to say all of a sudden.

Patrick narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "It's my business whether she is pregnant or not."

Grandpa Hopper disagreed with him, "But you should be responsible for carrying on the family line!"

Patrick sneered and said, "Owen already has a son and a daughter. Isn't that enough?"

Grandpa Hopper said angrily, "As long as you're still a member of the Hopper Family, you should learn from Owen. Hurry up and have a baby!"

"Owen and I are different! I don't want to become the second Owen!" After saying this, Patrick was ready to leave. Grandpa Hopper was so angry that he grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at Patrick's face!

However, Patrick didn't avoid it.

"Bang!" With a loud sound, the teacup smashed on his eyebrow, and the part of his skin quickly became bruised and swollen.

"Ah!" Granny Hopper screamed.

Seeing all these, Amelia was so worried. She asked Grandpa Hopper, "Grandpa, what are you doing?"

Grandpa Hopper was stunned. He didn't expect that Patrick wouldn't move.

When he heard Amelia's words, he returned to dignified and said, "I'm teaching my grandson a lesson. Is there any problem?"

"Then you can't be so..."

Before Amelia could finish her words, Patrick raised his hand and stopped her. His voice sounded very disdainful, "You don't have to talk to him."

Amelia supported Patrick and stared at his wound. How could Grandpa Hopper abuse him like this?

Granny Hopper stamped her foot with anger. Then she took Amelia and Patrick to a guest room. After sending a first aid kit to their room, she returned to Grandpa Hopper.

Grandpa Hopper still looked angry, but he asked with concern, "Is Patrick seriously injured?"

Granny Hopper deliberately sat far away from him and said with resentment, "Why don't you just kill him? If you kill him, you will be satisfied!"

"I'm asking you, is he seriously injured?" Grandpa Hopper smashed the ground impatiently with his cane.

Granny Hopper was not afraid at all. She said sarcastically, "Don't ask me. Go and see him yourself."

Seeing that Granny Hopper was angry, Grandpa Hopper let out a long sigh and said, "I was too angry just now. I shouldn't have hit him like that. But he deliberately made me angry. Grandsons of my comrades in arms are all filial and obedient. But he always makes me angry!"

Granny Hopper glared at Grandpa Hopper, "Since he's willing to come to see you, you should be satisfied. Have you forgotten what you've done to him, huh?"

Grandpa Hopper snorted and said, "You mean that I separated Patrick from that teacher? That woman doesn't deserve him. If it weren't for me, he would have become the laughingstock in the upper class!"
