Amelia dialed the number of the landline this time. After waiting for a long while, he heard a sleepy voice from the opposite side, "Hi, this is The Hopper Family. Who are you looking for?"
Hearing this, Amelia quickly put the phone in front of her eyes to check. After finding that it was correct, she put it back to her ear and frowned. "I'm looking for Patrick Hopper."
The young man muttered, "He's still sleeping. You can call back a few hours later. Goodbye!"
Upon hearing that Patrick had returned to the Land of Fragrance, Amelia's heart was first relieved and then painful. She closed her eyes slowly and pulled back the tiredness in her eyes. Then she opened them again and tilted her head to the policewoman who had been observing her and said, "I'm sorry, I panicked. I didn't make sure if my husband was home or not before I randomly dialed 911..."
The policewoman listened to her reasonable words and saw the tiredness in her eyes. She knew that Amelia did not intend to cause them trouble, so she said, "It's alright. If Mr. Patrick had answered the phone earlier, it wouldn't have caused so much misunderstanding."
At the Land of Fragrance.
Hayden rubbed his eyes after he answered the phone. He was too shocked by what he did. Why did he act as if he was at home? He even forgot that he should be hiding his whereabouts!
"Who is that girl? Is she calling to test me on purpose? Wait! Did she say who she is, did she?"
Just as Hayden regretted what he had done, he heard Patrick's attractive voice coming from upstairs. "Good morning, Hayden."
"Good morning, Patrick." Hayden subconsciously looked up. He was both envious and jealous. How could his cousin look so good in just a bathrobe?
"Have you had breakfast?" Patrick asked as he went downstairs.
"No, I don't know how to cook," Hayden replied naturally.
Each of The Hopper Family disciples was born with a silver spoon in their mouth and Hayden was no exception.
Patrick was not fully awake either. He said unexpectedly, "Let's wait for Amelia to come down and prepare breakfast."
Hayden sighed and said, "You're right, I almost forgot. Amelia said that she always cooks at home. So I don't have to worry that I will starve to death."
Hearing this, Patrick stopped and sat down on the sofa. His handsome face was as cold as ice. He had forgotten... Amelia was still in Mount Logan.
He looked up at the wall clock and found that it was almost eight o'clock.
At this time, Amelia should have been able to see the sunrise as she wished, right? But the person accompanying her was not him.
But what does it have to do with him? Wasn't she always popular around people? Without him, there would be someone else...
With a sneer, he deliberately ignored the depression and anger in his heart. Patrick picked up the phone and called his housekeeper to come over and prepare breakfast.
Half an hour later...
Amelia came to the gate of the Land of Fragrance. When she was about to open the door, the door was opened from the inside with a click.
Hayden and she looked at each other speechlessly. He was stunned for a few seconds before he opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "Amelia?"
"Hayden?" Upon realizing what had happened, Amelia whispered, "So it's you who was on the other side of the phone just now."
Hayden was still a bit confused. He looked at her from time to time and then turned back to look inside the house. He asked as if he had seen a ghost, "Aren't you sleeping upstairs?"
