Chapter 114
All of a sudden, Amelia became nervous. She was afraid that Patrick would help Eve scold her.
When Eve saw Patrick, she immediately scolded Amelia as if she had seen her helper, "Patrick, look at this! She actually made such a scandal in the company!"
Patrick pushed Eve's mobile away slightly and said with no surprise, "Mom, it happened in my company and I've known about it."
Hearing Patrick's words, Eve was more arrogant, "Since you saw it with your own eyes, it proves that it is true. You can't let her cheat on you!"
Amelia sneered in her heart. Patrick was the one who would cheat on her!
Patrick was not as anxious and angry as Eve imagined. Instead, he said guiltily, "Mom, it's my fault."
Eve widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Patrick incredulously, "Patrick, what's wrong with you?"
Patrick shook his head and said, "If I hadn't made a bet with my friends, he wouldn't record such a shameful and funny video deliberately for the bet. He even sent it to you and made you misunderstand." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Eve was confused, "Patrick, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"It's like this, mom..." Patrick began to lie to Eve. He described Hobart's love for Amelia as a prank between friends, which made Eve stunned.
"No way. Why did he use your wife as a bet?" Eve was dubious.
Patrick pretended to be embarrassed and looked at Amelia. Then he pulled Eve aside and whispered, "Amelia and I married secretly. Many people don't know that she is my wife."
Seeing that Patrick was speaking seriously, Eve believed him.
She said unhappily, "Even if you don't love her, you can't let your friends make fun of her like this. She's your legal wife. If her identity is revealed in the future, people will laugh at us with this matter."
Patrick nodded, "You're right, mom."
Eve smiled with relief. She liked the feeling of being obeyed by others, "Well, I misunderstood Amelia. I'll go back first."
"Mom, I'll send you back." Patrick said.
Eve nodded with a smile and passed by Amelia.
Amelia's cheek was still painful. She said to Eve's back softly, "Mom, take care on the way home. Drop by anytime."
Maybe it was because Eve slapped Amelia, her attitude became tender on the surface. She looked sideways and replied, "Okay."
On the way back to the Hopper Family, Eve asked Patrick about the birthday invitations. Patrick smiled and said, "I'll invite all the famous and rich people. Just rest assured."
Eve said with melancholy, "I can't really rest assured until you have a child."
Patrick said perfunctorily, "Mom, I'm still young and in no hurry."
Eve complained, "I knew you would say that!"
Patrick put his foot down hard on the accelerator and wanted to send Eve home as soon as possible. He really didn't want to listen to her chatter.
In the Hopper Family.
When they arrived, Patrick pretended to ask unintentionally, "Mom, who sent you this video?"
Eve said with unconcern, "I don't know. It's a strange phone number."
Patrick looked at her thoughtfully.
Eve said to Patrick, "It's time for dinner. Stay and have dinner with me."
Thinking that Amelia was at home alone, Patrick said worriedly, "Mom, I'll bring Amelia here and have dinner with you next time."
Eve said stiffly, "All you think about is your wife. Just go, I won't force you to leave!"
After Patrick left, Eve felt a little regretful.
Recently, Howard became more and more obsessed with playing chess. He didn't come home until night. While Eve's children were all busy with work, so she felt so lonely at home.
In the Land of Fragrance.
Amelia lay on the sofa with ice cubes on her face. She wanted to reduce the swelling on her face as soon as possible, because she had to go to work the next day.
Just then, Patrick's voice came from the door, "Mrs. Hopper, I'm back."
Amelia got up from the sofa immediately, hid the ice cubes behind her, and pretended to have just washed her face, "Have you eaten yet?"
Looking at Patrick who was changing his slippers in the porch, Amelia was surprised. She didn't except that Eve would actually allow Patrick to go back so quickly.
"Not yet." Patrick walked to Amelia and saw her swollen cheek.
Noticing his gaze, Amelia concealed her swollen cheek with her hair and said, "Well, I'm going to cook!"
However, Patrick stepped forward, held her shoulders and pressed her back to the sofa, "Don't hurry!"
Amelia turned her face away and did not let him see the swollen side, "What are you going to do?"
Patrick pulled her hair aside and found that there were several sharp finger marks on her face. Then he said, "Mom slapped you."
Amelia said in a self- deprecating tone, "Yes, so what? I owed her."
Compared with the slap, the wound on Eve's forehead was much more serious.
Feeling a strange pain in his heart, Patrick asked in a deep voice, "What's behind you?"
Amelia grabbed the half-melted ice bag in her hand tightly.
Patrick spread her hands and ordered her, "Take it out."
Amelia had no choice but to give him the ice bag obediently.
Patrick lifted Amelia's chin with one hand and massaged her injured cheek with the ice bag with the other hand, "I have tried my best to stop my mother from knowing this matter, but she actually knew it."
Amelia suddenly grabbed Patrick's wrist, stared at him and asked, "Who do you think it is?"
Patrick said, "It may be Cynthia... may be not."
Amelia also suspected Cynthia, "What do you want to do?"
Patrick's voice became deep and cold, "If she dared plot against me, I won't let her go."
After the ice cubes were completely melted, Patrick took the ice bag away, lowered his head and bit her lips.
"Ouch!" Amelia groaned. She covered her painful lips and looked at Patrick in confusion.
Patrick teased Amelia, "This is my reward for helping you suppress the rumors in the company. I need another reward for lying to my mother for you."
Patrick looked at her nervous face and then deliberately glanced at her slim body, as if he was considering where he should bite next.
