A scowling Patrick walked through the living room and was suddenly stopped by Granny Hopper who was clearing the dining room table!
He looked angrily at Granny Hopper and said, "Nana, you get off me."
"Why are you in such a hurry and so angry?" Granny Hopper narrowed his eyes like a detective, "Why do you still have your sleeves rolled up in winter? You look like you're looking for a fight!"
Patrick didn't know how to respond, he rolled up his sleeves just because he felt hot.
"Patrick, I'm warning you, Amelia is a good wife, if you treat her badly again, you'll regret it later!"
Patrick frowned, why was someone accusing him of treating Amelia badly again?
Seeing that he didn't say anything like he didn't feel guilty, Granny Hopper said angrily, "Humph! Just keep stubborn and arrogant, Amelia has plenty of men who like her anyway!"
Patrick sneered. "That's right. Someone said he was going to offer a bride-price to her!"
Granny Hopper was just trying to stir up Patrick's guilt, not expecting him to tell her something unexpected, "You brat, what are you babbling about?"
Patrick stared at Granny Hopper's hand that was holding onto his shirt and said seriously, "If you don't let go of me, you're going to make me lose Amelia."
In the master bedroom.
Patrick, who had finished talking to Granny Hopper, returned to the room as quickly as possible.
The bathroom door was closed, but through the translucent glass door, Patrick could faintly see Amelia's busy figure in the bathroom.
After adjusting his mood, he intended to wait for Amelia to come out and have a good talk with her, when a dog barking from the bathroom made him puzzled.
He impulsively pulled the bathroom door open, and at Amelia's surprised look, he pointed at Rick and bellowed, "How did this beast get in here!"
Amelia was brushing her teeth and didn't even notice when Patrick entered the room, so she froze when he pulled open the bathroom door like a madman.
Fortunately, she was still covered with a pair of underwear and panties, rather than naked.
But she didn't know that some women were more enticing in lingerie than naked, and she clearly belonged to the former.
This aroused Patrick's desire and also his hatred for Rick in the bathroom.
Rick nestled at Amelia's feet, occasionally sticking out its little pink tongue and licking her ankles intimately, but it seemed to sense Patrick's anger, and Rick let out a scared whimper.
Amelia said disgruntledly to Patrick, "Can you get out first?"
Patrick stared at Rick, who was huddling on the ground, and said, "First tell me, why did you bring it in?"
Amelia replied, "I'm giving Rick a bath. He's a little dirty."
Patrick frowned and said, "Then what if you take a bath?"
Amelia did not feel that it was a difficult thing. "It doesn't matter. I can just take my bath, and it will stay where it is."
" You actually let it look at you... your..." Patrick didn't know how to describe it. He only wanted to let the dog get out of his house now!
Amelia, who knew exactly what he was thinking, blushed and said, "What are you thinking about? It is just a dog!"
Patrick complained, "No! You can't bring it in again! You can only bring me in if you want!"
Amelia was speechless.
