Patrick retorted with a strange look on his face, "Isn't it supposed to be girls who act cutely get the best?"
"Well... it works for both boys and girls." Ashley insisted.
Patrick suppressed his impulse to sigh facing upwards. "Then why didn't I succeed?"
Ashley sized him up and said, "Maybe... you're a little unlucky today."
Patrick also took his revenge, "Don't forget, you didn't succeed either."
"Even if I have bad luck, you are not that good either." Patrick complained in his heart.
Ashley was speechless.
At Streams Villa.
Hearing the harsh 'beep' in her ear, Amelia only smiled. Then she slowly put her cell phone down and asked Abner, whose hair was still messy, "Do you still feel sleepy?"
Abner nodded.
Amelia's expression got more guilty. "Do you still want to sleep for a while?"
Abner shook his head.
He was sleepy, but he did not want to sleep anymore...
Amelia did not know how to deal with this situation, until she lowered her head and saw the graphic book and snacks on the ground.
Raising her eyes, she flatteringly asked the little boy on the cot, "Would you like to have some snacks while auntie tells you a story?"
Hearing that, Abner gently nodded. What he longed for was not story nor snacks. He simply liked to stay by Amelia's side.
Time flew in the blink of an eye, the night had fallen.
Amelia accompanied Abner to finish a graphic book completely. Snacks and orange juice that Savannah had sent in before were also mostly eaten by them.
But no one had come to inform them about dinner time, even Savannah had not appeared for a long time.
Amelia tilted her head down to check the time on her wristwatch again. It was almost 7 o'clock.
Considering the route, it would be late past midnight when she got back to Land of Fragrance.
Amelia's facial expression slightly changed, and then she remembered that she had already had a bad relationship with Patrick. She needed not to worry about their relationship to worsen. So, she continued to wait calmly.
At this moment, there came two knocks on the door.
Amelia quickly opened her eyes, raised her volume and said, "Come in, please!"
She guessed that the person would be Savannah.
When the door opened, it was certainly Savannah who looked ordinary but kind. Amelia nodded happily at her.
Savannah first looked at Abner. Seeing that Abner had woken up, she turned to Amelia and said, "Ms. Ramsay, Abner's grandma came to see him."
"Is it?" Amelia was stunned.
Savannah saw that she seemed to be a little nervous, so she further explained, "Yes, madam is downstairs. I told her that Abner may still be sleeping, so she let me to come in to have a look first. It's okay, Ms. Ramsay, don't worry. Madam is a kind and friendly person."
Amelia came to her senses and asked, "Then, do you need me to leave for a while?"
Savannah smiled and said, "Let me ask madam."
The next second, she heard a voice coming from behind, "No need."
Savannah was stunned. She quickly turned around and saw a noble-dressed woman standing at the door.
An unknown emotion flashed in Savannah's eyes, but she said respectfully, "Madam, you've come."
