"Well, let's say it's me!" Amelia said generously.
Patrick was confused. "What do you want those things for?"
"Pour the flowers."
"Where's the flower?"
Amelia blushed. "It hasn't grown up yet..."
Patrick sneered, "So, the flowers are still seeds at the moment?"
Amelia scratched her hair: "Well, the seeds were bought in advance by Granny Hopper, and as for the holes dug in the grass, they were also for planting pansies."
"Do you like pansies?" Patrick looked at her seriously. Amelia kept her privacy extra deep, so it's a good time to ask around.
"I don't really like it. Granny Hopper wants it to look like a home. It has color and vitality, just like... just like now."
At the end of her words, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, which made Patrick feel confused. "Like now?"
She nodded and honestly expressed her inner thoughts. "Don't you think that you have a grandmother, a sister, two children... you have everything in your family!"
Patrick laughed. "It's normal..."
Amelia looked down, unable to hide her despondency, and said, "Yeah, but it just so happens that I don't have any of those."
Patrick frowned. Did he accidentally upset her again?
Amelia calmed down and muttered to herself, "I have thought about persuading Granny Hopper not to grow it at the beginning. In this weather, it's impossible to plant flowers..."
Just like the family at home now, it was just a flash in the pan, Granny Hopper would go back to Dallas sooner or later, Florence would go back to work one day, and Andrew and Ashley would be picked up by Patrick's brother...
At Roxxon Corporation.
Patrick couldn't forget the sad look in Amelia's eyes this morning, and he felt heartbroken about it...
The secretary who came to report the work called softly, "Mr. Hopper..."
Sitting in his chair, Patrick turned around, stopped looking out the window remotely, and said to his secretary, "I have a question for you."
The secretary's eyes widened, "Boss, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask."
Patrick was first silent, thinking about how to ask her, which made the secretary more surprised. He was a decisive person, never hesitated to ask her questions.
Finally, he asked, "When a woman says she longs for a complete family, what do you think a man should do to make her happy?"
The secretary rubbed her chin, "Boss, has this problem been bothering you lately?"
Patrick picked up the coffee at the table and took a sip, "No, I'm asking for a friend of mine."
The secretary knew he was lying.
"I think the best way that man can do is to give that woman a title, like marrying her and taking her home."
"What else?"
"If the woman is family-oriented, why not have two children while she is young? Otherwise, meet her material needs as much as possible, give her whatever she wants, and make her happy all the time..." said the secretary.
Gave her whatever she wanted...
Patrick asked his secretary to leave. He thought for a while and made a long-distance call.
"Hey, bro! This is the first time you've contacted me since you returned home." The man who answered the phone greeted excitedly.
