Chapter 156
Howard turned his head to look at Eve with confusion. Seeing Eve looking away with a guilty conscience, he was surprised!
Could it be that... Eve had not invited George and Alice to attend the birthday banquet at all? How could she do that!
"George, I'm so sorry." Howard said with guilty eyes. Then he asked Eve in a cold voice, "Who sent the invitation of the birthday banquet?"
Eve hesitated for a moment and then said unconsciously, "Patrick."
Howard got so angry, "That b*stard! I must teach him a lesson if he dares go home!"
George said magnanimously, "Howard, I happened to be busy that night. Even if we were invited, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to attend it."
"Never mind, Patrick will definitely invite you in the future." Eve eased the situation awkwardly.
Seeing that Howard was still angry, she said in a hurry, "George, Alice, I invited you here to show you a very important thing."
George asked with confusion, "What is it?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Eve handed the brown paper bag to George and said in a deep voice, "Have a look yourself. I only hope that your heart can bear it."
George was stunned for a moment. He and Alice looked at each other with doubts.
After calming down, George put his hand into the brown paper bag and took out about several photos.
In the photos, Daniel supported Amelia's hand, and they walked into a housing estate together. When George saw it clearly, he threw the photos on the table without thinking, which scared Eve. He said, "What do you mean by showing us these fake photos?"
Howard and Alice also saw the photos which were throw on the table. Howard's face darkened, while Alice covered her mouth and gave a little cry of astonishment.
Eve said smugly, "These photos are not fake..."
George interrupted her rudely, "You know that there are composite photos nowadays, don't you?"
Eve denied, "They're definitely not composite photos! I found a private detective to follow Amelia. It can't be wrong!"
"A private detective?" George said to Eve with angry eyes, "Has Amelia done something that provoke you? Why do you keep watch on her for 24 hours? She is not a prisoner!"
"What the hell is going on?" Howard yelled at Eve.
Eve said as she prepared in advance, "Not long ago, there was a man who confessed his love to Amelia downstairs Roxxon. From then on, I have been keeping an eye on her. Amelia is your daughter, but she is also my daughter-in-law. How can I let her do something disgraceful to the Hopper family?" "So did you hire a private detective to follow her?"
George said coldly.
Eve narrowed her eyes and said, "George, don't have the order reversed. If Amelia has no ambiguous relationship with another man, no matter how many private detectives I hired, they would be useless."
George said in a firm tone, "I know very well what kind of person Amelia is. Even if these photos are true, it doesn't mean that she has cheated on Patrick."
Eve screamed in a low voice artificially, "They entered the apartment together! Look at the time on the photo, they came in at 10 o'clock in the morning and came out at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. They had been together for such a long time. Can you guarantee that they didn't do anything inside?"
"George..." Seeing that George's face turned livid after hearing Eve's words, Alice took out the medicine bottle and gave him two quick acting heart pills in a hurry.
George took the pills and directly ate them. He didn't take the cup which Howard handed to him.
Howard put down the cup with embarrassment. He was afraid that George misunderstood that it was him who acquiesced in what Eve had done.
George took a deep breath and said, "I'll call Amelia and Daniel and ask them to come over. Let's make it clear to us face to face. What do you think?"
Eve nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay! But in order to prevent them from making a statement in advance, you'd better not tell them our purpose."
In the Land of Fragrance.
Amelia tore off the sticky plaster from her waist and applied a new one clumsily, then she rubbed the used one into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the bathroom. When she opened it, she saw Patrick leaning against the door.
She asked in confusion, "Aren't you taking care of Cynthia in the hospital? Why do you come back so early?"
Patrick felt unhappy when he heard her words. When he was about to speak, he frowned and asked, "What's the smell?"
Amelia looked around and thought that it might be the smell of the bath lotion, because she had just taken a shower.
However, Patrick said, "It's so smelly."
Amelia's face darkened as she yelled, "Then why don't you stay away from here?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and wanted to push him away so that she could close the bathroom door.
Patrick took the opportunity to hold her hand which was soft and comfortable.
Amelia looked at him uneasily. Patrick gently caressed her palm prints over and over again with his thumb, which made her have an illusion that she was cherished by him.
"Mr. Hopper, you're a little strange tonight." Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was relaxed, she said what she was thinking in her heart.
Patrick's movements were slightly stiff, and he felt painful in his heart again. He kissed her cold hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Mrs. Hopper, I'll stay at home with you tonight, and I won't go anywhere else."
Amelia was stunned. She didn't know whether Patrick felt guilty for her or wanted to compensate her. However, since he was willing to stay at home, she would not ask him to go out.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
"I'm happy that you want to stay at home, but I need to amend a document tonight, so I may have no time to accompany you..."
"Mrs. Hopper." Patrick interrupted her in amusement and anger, "Can't we get along with each other in a sincerer way besides having sex?"
Hearing this, Amelia let out a sigh of relief. Her waist couldn't bear to have sex with him recently.
Wiping her wet hair, Amelia walked out of the bathroom and walked to the desk.
When she pulled the office chair, she caught a glimpse of the flashing phone on the table, which meant that there were missed calls or text messages.
Standing at the door of the bathroom and paying close attention to her, Patrick tilted his face and asked, "Who's that?"
"I don't know." Amelia picked up her mobile phone casually and didn't check it immediately.
Patrick glanced at the phone coldly and said in a deep voice, "If a friend asks you to go out, you know what you should say, right?"
Amelia sneered. Why he had to pretend to be calm.
Since he was afraid that she would go out to play and leave him alone at home, he could say it directly.
