In the evening, at Land of Fragrance.
"Have you thought about the shares?"
Hearing Daniel's question on the phone, Amelia responded with determination, "Well, I've made a decision."
At that moment, the doorbell rang outside the house, and Amelia said to Daniel as she walked away, "Hold _ 11
on.
When she opened the door, the man standing outside was the postman in charge of delivering the daily newspaper. After accepting the newspaper he handed her, Amelia whispered "thank you" and gently closed the door.
"Can we talk about your plans?" Daniel said impatiently
Amelia laid the newspaper flat on the coffee table in the living room and was just about to speak when she was suddenly drawn to the contents of the paper!
After a moment of silence, she panicked and said to Daniel, "The situation may have changed, I'll contact you then!"
"What! You..." Daniel didn't finish his words before the call was cut off.
Amelia stared at the news today, feeling only confused.
Roxxon Corporation wanted to get the Rosan
Road cemetery?
Impossible! Since when did Patrick become interested in that cemetery? Why didn't she know?
Putting down the newspaper, Amelia called Patrick in a hurry, but he didn't pick it up!
She was in anxiety until Granny Hopper's words pulled back her mind, "Amelia, aren't you going to the school to pick up Andrew and Ashley?"
Amelia absent-mindedly replied, "I'll go right away."
Granny Hopper stared at her unstable footsteps and said worriedly, "It's snowing, and the road is slippery. Be careful while driving."
At Sofia Elementary School.
Amelia saw the two kids walking out of the school side by side from a distance, they looked around blankly and searched carefully for her.
With a smile, Amelia pressed the horn of the car to attract their attention. Seeing them rushing to her with full of vitality, Amelia's mood became better.
Andrew and Ashley looked at Amelia with the same lovely face and the same bright eyes and said in unison, "Auntie Amelia!"
Amelia touched their heads and then asked strangely, "Andrew, why do you sweat all over your head?"
Crimson rubbed the tip of his nose and said in embarrassment, "I had a PE class in the afternoon. The teacher taught us to play football."
Ashley said proudly, "Andrew was just elected by his classmates to be the vanguard in gym class!"
"Really?" Amelia was worried about Andrew being isolated and was relieved to hear Ashley say so.
Ashley continued in a childish voice, "By the way, when we got to class today, Andrew received so many presents, more than me! Auntie Amelia, why do you think that is?"
Amelia smiled and said, "That means Andrew is popular."
Ashley frowned and thought for a while, and then she came up with a conclusion that made Amelia feel funny. "Huh? Does that make him more popular after fighting with others? I also need to fight with my classmate tomorrow!"
"This..." Amelia thought for a moment and decided to persuade her euphemistically, "Ashley, Do you think your uncle likes kids who fight with people?"
Ashley immediately changed her mind, "Oh no! I'd better obediently to be his little princess."
