Chapter 266
What was she worthy of favor? If he did not like her then he shouldn't sleep with her anymore!
They shouldn't argue in front of their elders, but her attitude at the moment was bad too.
Patrick immediately got up from the couch and said fiercely, "What did you say, say it again, out loud!"
Amelia stared at him forcefully, "I'm not a repeater, and I won't repeat it again!"
"Stop arguing!" Just as Patrick was about to burst into the fire of irritation, Granny Hopper said, "Patrick, I have more experiences in this world than you have. I can see clearly what kind of person Amelia is when the first time I met her. If you don't like her, then you don't have good taste!"
"Granny..." Amelia was touched, and her crying voice was soft and sweet, which made Granny Hopper's heart melt. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
"Good girl, don't feel wronged. I'm here. Let's see who dares to bully you!" Granny Hopper stared at Eve and Patrick domineeringly as if she were a queen in this house.
Seeing his grandmother treating her like Amelia's own grandmother, Patrick had mixed emotions and after glaring at Amelia, turned around angrily and went upstairs.
Eve took the opportunity to be sarcastic, "Amelia, you can't even accommodate your husband, and I really doubt you'll ever divorce Patrick."
Amelia pursed her lips, she was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk.
Granny Hopper calmly responds to the smug Eve, "I didn't approve of you and my son's marriage in the first place either, haven't you been together until now?"
Embarrassed at being rebuffed, Eve then managed a smile and said, "It's about time, I'm going home and I'll pick you up for dinner in a couple of days."
Eve intentionally avoided Granny Hopper, and Granny Hopper didn't want to see Eve, and then Granny Hopper said indifferently, "Go back then, don't come over here and bother me. I'm an old woman, I like peace and quiet, and I can't stand your dramatic personality."
Granny Hopper contradicts Eve in front of Amelia. Eve was humiliated. Sometimes Eve really hated this old woman. She'd been married to Howard for over thirty years and gave him children. Why did her mother-in-law still dislike her so much!
Eve left wistfully, Granny Hopper turned to Amelia.
Realizing the sadness on her face, Granny Hopper sighed and said, "Although Patrick is mean, he is having a hard time."
As Patrick's grandmother, she knew the reason for Patrick's madness. However, Granny Hopper felt gratified that seeing Amelia was not afraid of Patrick, since what she wanted was a granddaughter- in-law who could be Patrick's equal.
Amelia frowned and said, "Grandma, do you know what Patrick is facing with?"
Granny Hopper nodded with melancholy. "I don't know if you've heard of the name 'Sissi'?"
Was it really because of that woman?
Amelia was hesitated for a moment and answered, "Yes, but not exactly. I heard that Sissi is Patrick's high school teacher?"
"To be exact, it's a substitute teacher. In the year of senior year in high school, his English teacher got cancer, so the school hired a college intern to substitute for the class. It was also at that time
that Patrick changed and became crazy for his substitute teacher..."
"And then?" Listening to Patrick's story, Amelia was to be attracted.
"At the beginning, we thought he was still young, easy to make things wrong, and he saw a slightly mature woman, he mistakenly thought she was true love. So we privately used our power to make this substitute teacher disappear from the school. Later, Patrick successfully completed the college entrance examination and got into a first-class university."
After a pause, Granny Hopper continued, "We thought everything was under our control, but Patrick was much more persistent than we thought. He didn't mention Sissi to us on the surface but secretly pursued her. Until the year of freshmen, he took Sissi home to announce that they were in love, and he didn't forget to warn us that he must be with Sissi. If Sissi got in trouble, he would not be happy..."
Amelia touched her chest. She couldn't believe that she was actually jealous of Sissi, even though "Sissi" was only the hostess of the story now.
Amelia's voice was hoarse and asked. "Since they love each other so much, why should they separate?"
Granny Hopper's lighthearted response, however, shocked Amelia: "Because Sissi wasn't even as good as Patrick said she was, she was unclear with their relationship from the start, and just as she and Patrick were about to get married, she was suddenly exposed as having an affair with a businessman's son, and even worse, she had another fiance abroad. By that time, Patrick had a new house ready for moving in with her, it is the one you're living in now!"
Hearing this, Amelia began to think. She felt lost and suddenly began to understand why Patrick had treasured that study. It must have been full of things related to Sissi, so he was afraid that she would go in and "defile" it.
Amelia gave an awkward laugh, and she suddenly wondered how much she weighed on Patrick's mind? Was she an intruder when she lived in the house that was supposed to belong to Patrick and Sissi's wedding?
"Granny, after Sissi exposed her other affairs, did Patrick propose to break up with her?" Amelia asked.
No man could tolerate his woman cheating on him, let alone the egotistical Patrick.
At the mention of this Granny Hopper gets angry, "I don't know what method Sissi used, to which Patrick reacts by saying that he can forgive Sissi for her betrayal if she breaks off her engagement to her fiance and then doesn't see the businessman's son for the rest of her life." "Forgive?" Amelia giggled but she actually was sad. It seemed funny that the man as arrogant as Patrick couldn't escape the web of lies Sissi'd woven...
Granny Hopper understood the whole process and felt sorry for Patrick, "Just because Patrick can forgive Sissi doesn't mean that we can. My husband has a very bad temper, and Patrick was beaten up by his grandfather over Sissi. Eve even asked my husband to pressure Sissi with strong-arm tactics to force Sissi out of Northville."
Amelia hesitated for a moment and asked, "Hasn't Sissi fought for this relationship like Patrick?"
