Florence was not happy, but she had silently planned to escape. As long as she had money she could go anywhere!
"By the way, all the documents including bank cards that you were previously detained in the detention center, I will keep them for you until Hobart is discharged from the hospital," Patrick said with a smile on his face.
Florence was speechless.
The next day.
Today the weather turned sunny and the snow that covered the green grass yesterday slowly melted, turning all those pits dug by Granny Hopper into mud pits, and people coming and going would accidentally step into the mud if they were not careful.
For example, right now...
Andrew and Ashley, who were rushing to school, all got stuck in a mud puddle. When Patrick pulled their feet out of the puddle, the legs of their school uniforms were wet, and the soaked pant legs made the kids shiver with cold.
Amelia stood on the steps and held out her hand in Andrew and Ashley's direction, "Mr. Hopper, hand me the kids."
Patrick was angry at Amelia. Last night, he stayed in his study until late at night, waiting for her to go back on her word and come to him.
As a result, when he returned to the master bedroom, he found that she was sleeping soundly with Andrew and Ashley. She didn't care about what he said at all.
Seeing Patrick staring at her with a gloomy face, Amelia thought he had gotten up, after all, he had to take the kids to school early in the morning, which was a bit hard for him who had been spoiled since childhood.
With a gentle smile, Amelia said in a sincere tone, "Why don't let me take them to school?"
Patrick suddenly became more resentful. Now, in addition to the two kids and the dog, was there anyone else in her heart?
With these thoughts in mind, he put a little strength into the pair of arms under the kids' armpits, which made them scream out of pain.
"Uncle Patrick, you hurt my breast!" Ashley complained.
Andrew's face blushed with embarrassment. Ashley really dared to say anything.
Patrick lowered his head and glanced at them coldly. His eyes seemed to say, "Even if it hurts, you have to endure it!"
Andrew and Ashley were too scared to talk and cooperated by letting Patrick take them back to the house.
Seeing that Patrick wouldn't let her hold the kids, Amelia was a little aggravated, but Patrick suddenly slipped and fell and steps into a mud puddle like
Andrew and Ashley.
Witnessing his angry face, Amelia could not help but lower her head and laughed.
The next second, Patrick was angry and embarrassed to say. "Is it funny?"
Amelia quickly stopped laughing and showed an expression of concern. "I'll go back to the room first and prepare the washed pants for you."
Patrick angrily pulled out the foot that had sunk into the mud pit. Just as he stepped on the first step, a shout came from outside the fence...
"is Amelia here? We've brought the fresh animal fertilizer to you..."
With a confused face, Patrick put Andrew and Ashley on the carpet in the house, and told them, "Go to the second floor and change your trousers."
The two kids were soaked in the snow, and their feet were numb from the cold, they were eager to take off their wet pants immediately. After hearing what Patrick said, they rushed to find Amelia.
Patrick continued to endure the sticky trousers and turned to the uninvited guest. He asked through the fence, "Who are you looking for?"
The old farmer first looked at Patrick, then carefully looked at the notebook in his hand, and asked with dialect accent, "Is it you, Amelia?"
The farmer's wife rolled her eyes at him. "Are you stupid? I can tell from the name that she's a female!"
Patrick looked at them and tapped on the side of his leg with his finger.
The farmer said to his wife, "We might go to the wrong place? This man looks like an usury owner..."
"Let me ask!" The farmer's wife snatched the notebook from her husband's hand, pointed at the name on it, and asked, "Do you know this person?"
