"No..." Nora said softly, "It's mainly because I'm allergic to animal fur since I was young. If Ashley insists on raising small animals, I'll fall ill. Do you want to see I fall ill?" While Nora was talking to Ashley, Owen took Patrick's shoulder aside and said, "You're a stubborn man who finally changed yourself with Amelia's efforts?"

Sensing the teasing in Owen's words, Patrick pretended to not understand. "I don't understand what you mean."

At her brother's pretense, Owen just laughed softly and didn't break him down, only asking, "When are you going to have a baby with your wife?"

Patrick furrowed his brows and said in a hurry, "Let's talk about it later."

His uncertain answer was already enough to surprise Owen. If it were before, he would definitely refuse firmly, but now he had this plan in his subconscious.

Before Owen and Nora left, Andrew reluctantly whispered to Amelia's ear, "Auntie Amelia, I'll definitely come to see you when I have time!"

Amelia pinched his little face and said with a smile, "I had given you my cell phone number, have you written it down?"

Andrew solemnly responded, "I have."

"You can call me at any time as long as you want, but don't let it impact your study..."

Before the words were out of her mouth, Amelia felt a little heat on her face, and it turned out to be Andrew kissing her.

After they were gone, Patrick turned and surrounded Amelia against the wall outside the house, sliding his fingers lightly over her soft face, finally resting on the spot where she had been kissed and asking with a deep gaze, "What did you promise Andrew? He smiled so happily?"

As Patrick approached, Amelia stared at his beautiful features, her heart racing as she responded, "I left a cell phone number for him..."

"What?" Patrick lowered his voice and asked, "Aren't you afraid that he's always using some childish questions to disturb you day and night?"

Amelia smiled and said, "Andrew happens to be in school when I go to work, however, I have nothing to do when I get home from work and it doesn't clash with Andrew's school drop-off time, so it's okay for me to talk to him for a while."

"Since you like children so much, why don't we..." Out of impulse, Patrick actually wanted to say otherwise they'd have a baby!

"What?" Amelia was obviously stunned for a moment.

In this short pause, Patrick's mind was full of thoughts. Although this woman was not the one he wanted most, she was beautiful and elegant and had received a good education. In addition, from the days when she took care of Ashley and Andrew, it seemed that she would surely become a perfect mother.

More importantly, she was his wife. No woman in the world was more qualified than her to give birth to a child for him.

If that was the case, then what was there to hesitate about?

Patrick narrowed his eyes slightly and said in his mind, "Amelia, we..."

"May I ask if the family owner's surname is Hopper? There's a letter from Australia!"

Before Patrick could get his words out, he was interrupted by a voice outside.

He wanted to ignore it, but the word "Australia" triggered him and made his eyes move from Amelia's face to the letter carrier's raised hand, which had a pink envelope on it.

He walked over with a solemn expression, leaving behind a confused-looking Amelia standing at the same spot.

Patrick stood in front of the mail carrier and asked in a cold voice, "Where did you just say this letter was sent from?"

"Australia, Sir," the postman replied.

Patrick stared at the letter for a moment and finally said, "Give it to me."

"Wait a minute, you're the owner of this place. Your surname is Hopper, right?" The postman carefully made sure.

Patrick slowly nodded, and the letter successfully handed into his hands.

He looked down at the address on the envelope. It was a street in Australia. He couldn't remember the specific location since he hadn't been there for many years.

Amelia, who had been waiting, could not help but ask, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Holding the letter in his hand tightly, Patrick put it into his pocket and turned around. His tone was no longer as enthusiastic as before. Instead, he said calmly, "I forgot it." Did he forget?

Amelia paused, what a ridiculous and irresponsible reason it was, yet no one could refute it.

She looked at his bulging pocket carefully and pretended to ask casually, "Your friend sent you a letter?"

Patrick's eyes lit up. He had always been a frank person, but he actually wanted to cover it up. "Yes, I've received a letter from a friend who studied abroad."

Amelia's eyes were full of doubts. "Didn't you study in Europe? When did you go to Australia?"

If she hadn't learned geography well, she might have been fooled by him.

Patrick's handsome face had the shame that comes with being exposed, and he stared at her with displeasure, "Do you have to be so rude?"

Amelia said coldly with her arms around her chest, "I just think it's funny. Aren't you the most articulate?

But now you can't even make up a nice lie. That letter from your 'classmate' made you forget how to talk?"

Patrick's face was terrifyingly gloomy. Her repeated questions really made him feel unbearable. "You're really annoying!"

Amelia was irritated. She had been playing dumb about something for too long, and it was time to expose!

"Patrick, you are so abnormal. Is it because the person who sent you this letter is called Sissi?"

Feeling exposed, he suddenly cupped her chin with such force that it looked like he was trying to dislodge it, "You seem to have crossed the line!"

Amelia looked at him unblinkingly. She was not in a hurry but forcibly. "I only want to ask you, am I right or not?"

As soon as he looked at her, Patrick seemed to forget how calm he was. He blurted out, "Yes, so what?"

Hearing the answer of Amelia, her delicate face dimmed, and she satirized, "She wrote to you as soon as she got divorced? Then what do you think you are? Are you back-up or..."

"Shut up!" Patrick glared at her and interrupted in a harsh voice. "You're not allowed to slander my relationship with her!"

Amelia's heart broke when she heard that he defended Sissi. If it weren't for Granny Hopper who had told her what Sissi had done a long time ago, she would probably think that Patrick fell in love with a perfect and dignified woman!
