Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 452

"Humph, are you just afraid that something might happen to me and you would be held responsible for it?" Hayden muttered gloomily thinking that even Patrick did not want to help him. He could only rely on himself! On the other hand,

Amelia pulled Patrick's hand, which had been holding her since she entered the house. She asked in confusion, "Were Andrew and Ashley there when we were having lunch?"

Patrick took her to a corner and whispered, "I heard from Owen that Ashley was angry with her grandmother because Rick got kicked. Andrew didn't want to eat either. Now Nora is comforting them upstairs." There was a hint of worry in Amelia's eyes. "I want to go upstairs to see them."

Patrick nodded and let go of her hand. "You can go upstairs yourself. I have to entertain our guests."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Amelia gave an understanding smile and then walked upstairs.

On the second floor.

Amelia stood outside the bedroom that Nora and her husband usually stayed in when they returned to The Hopper Family. She knocked on the door.

A moment later, Nora's voice rang out from the room, "Is it Owen? Come in, the door isn't locked."

Amelia opened the door and saw Nora from behind. She was coaxing the two children to eat. "Nora, it's me."

Nora was not disappointed when she heard Amelia instead of Owen. She was waiting for a life-line. She looked at the frustrated twins lying on the bed, "Andrew and Ashley, look who's here to see you guys?" Ashley and Andrew both sat up when they heard this. They both looked like they had been crying, which made Amelia feel very distressed.

"Aunt... how is Rick?" The two children asked in hoarse voices.

Amelia glanced at the children's uneaten meals on the bedside table and looked at the undisguised anxiety on Nora's face. As she approached them, she said, "I'll tell you guys about Rick after you have finished your meal, okay?"

"Well... okay." The two children nodded reluctantly.

Nora was so happy when she saw her children finally willing to eat. She quickly walked to Amelia's side, "It's all thanks to you, Amelia! Andrew and Ashley are very stubborn. I'm really afraid that they'll starve themselves to death."

A faint smile appeared on Amelia's face. "I gained experience when I spent time with them. For example, they like to doze off during homework time. So I told them that as long as they complete the homework in the stipulated time, I'd tell them more stories that night. They slowly got used to the way we do things."

Nora immediately smiled. "I have to remember this method! Amelia, you seem to be getting more and more motherly experience?" Amelia was truly embarrassed when she heard Nora's words. "To be honest, Patrick and I do have plans to have children." "Really?" Nora's eyes widened as she felt a sincere sense of concern for Amelia. "You're finally done with your hard work!" "Yes! I hope so..." Amelia's anxiousness and worries were hidden behind her smile.

Patrick promised to give her the answer after Christmas and she hoped that the answer would be the one she wanted.

"Aunt, I'm full!" Andrew held up a big bowl which only had a few grains of rice left as he said this to Amelia.

"I'm full too." Ashley burped loudly speaking after Andrew.

Amelia reached out her hand and touched Andrew and Ashley's stomach. She had to make sure that they did not throw away the food when Nora and her were not paying attention. She praised, "You two behave so well."

"So how is Rick?" Ashley asked with her big bright eyes wide open.

Amelia said softly, "Your uncle and I have already sent Rick to the veterinary clinic. The vet promised to cure Rick. You can rest assured by what I said right?"

Ashley felt unease and tugged on the sheets under the bed. "But... Grandma's kick was so hard. I could feel it in my own belly even though I only watched it from a distance!"

"Yes, I felt a pain in my stomach too at that time. I felt like grandma was kicking me as well." Andrew said sincerely.

"Who isn't." Amelia sighed.

Andrew and Ashley were still young. They didn't understand the complicated relationship in the family. They just felt sad because of Rick.

To be honest, Eve just wanted to punish Rick as a warning to others. Was not that kick intended for

Amelia?

"Hmm?" Amelia turned around and looked at Nora in surprise when she sensed she was tugging the clothes behind her waist, "Nora, do you have something to say to me?" Nora turned on the television in the bedroom. After shifting the children's attention, she pulled Amelia to the side, "Do you know that Ashley knows how to show temper to Eve now?"

Amelia shook her head. "I don't know..."

Nora said with worry, "Alas, Ashley told Eve that she hated her. If I hadn't stopped her quickly, I didn't know what would have happened."

Amelia could not help but ask, "Eve must be very upset when she heard this, right?"

Even the cold hearted Eve would feel shocked when her granddaughter told her that she hated her.

Nora frowned, "Mom has always been respected and rarely offended by anyone. However, this is her own granddaughter. Even if she's angry, she won't be able to vent it on her. I'm just worry about..." Amelia answered on behalf of her, "Are you worried that mom will vent her anger on you?"

A trace of awkwardness flashed across Nora's gentle face. In the end, she agreed in silence.

Amelia looked at the beautiful woman in front of her.

Nora had always been a very traditional woman in her impression. She always put her family in the first place. And she highly valued the relationship with Eve. However...

"Nora, I know nothing about how to get along with Eve. Otherwise, Eve and I wouldn't be so incompatible now. Sorry, I can't give you any advice."

"It's alright, it's just that I wanted to talk to someone." Nora smiled and reassured herself, "Maybe I'm overthinking..."

Nora really did not think too much about it in reality...

In another bedroom, Eve dressed in luxurious clothes sitting on a mahogany chair. She spoke to a tall man in front of her, "Owen, let me ask you something. Is it normally you or Nora that does the parenting with Ashley and Andrew?"
