Amelia looked depressed and said, 'Although that's the case, he should have his manners and at least greet me when he's leaving!"
Patrick raised his chin and showed his exclusive The Hopper Family's arrogance face. "You missed his finals because you overslept today. It's good enough that he didn't feel angry that you didn't watch his final yet you still want him to come back and bid farewell to you?"
Amelia touched her red lips and said aggrievedly, "I didn't mean to... I don't know what's going on with this cell phone. I really set the alarm at 7 o'clock, but it didn't ring!"
A faint smile appeared on Patrick's lips but he said scornfully, "This is just an excuse for you oversleeping."
Amelia was speechless and sighed. Her delicate face was full of regrets. "Alas... It's really my fault this time. I hope that Hayden won't hate me.
Or...should I call him now to apologize?"
Patrick rushed over when he saw her about to take out her mobile phone and said lightly, "He should be on the plane now."
"Oh!" Amelia had to pull her hand out of her pocket and asked, "By the way, how's the result? You just told me that he won?"
"First prize." Patrick did not conceal about this. After all, Amelia probably would squat in front of the TV at any time and wait for the replay.
However, the worship and admiration toward Hayden in Amelia's eyes always made him feel like a fishbone in his throat. This was also the reason why he was eager to send Hayden away.
When Amelia heard that Hayden won first place, she could not help clenching her fist with one hand and waved it in front of her. "I knew he could do it!"
"How did you know? Are you the judge?" He sneered.
"You don't understand!" Amelia's lovely eyes curved and she said sincerely, "Hayden's eyes are shining. I think such a person like him will succeed no matter what he does!"
Patrick narrowed his deep eyes as if stars were hidden in them. "Shining?"
Amelia tilted her head and looked at him. "Don't you think that children's eyes have the most spiritual energy? But this spiritual energy will be slowly honed as they grow up, and many of them will become mediocre or just follow their destiny."
Patrick said impolitely, "You're talking about myopia,
aren't you?"
When Amelia noticed that he was not interested to talk to her at all, she just turned her head away and watched TV. "You won't understand even if I tell you!"
He did not understand. He really did not understand what exactly Amelia see in Hayden!
Patrick glanced at her. If he had not sneaked into her room this morning, switched off the alarm clock and then sent Hayden to the airport, Amelia would probably have asked Hayden to stay in Northville for two days more.
At this moment, Patrick's cell phone suddenly rang.
He looked at the caller ID and then subconsciously looked at Amelia next to him. When he saw that she was watching TV attentively, he stood up and walked far away from the living room then he pressed the answer button.
"Hello? Aunt Ella." It was Leah Dollar's mother, Ella who contacted him.
Inquisitively, Ella asked, "Patrick... Have you been busy for the past two days?"
Patrick replied casually, "Not bad."
"Not bad? Then I'll take it as you're taking a time out from work." "Hmm," Patrick answered softly.
"Since you have nothing to do, can I ask you a favor?"
"Go ahead."
"You're familiar with Northville. Can you bring your cousin out for a walk? She has been staying in the Hopper's residence for two days now. She's bored."
Patrick was silent for a moment.
"Where?" Amelia asked casually. At this moment, her best friend was her priority.
Patrick twitched his lips and said, "Leah's mother asked me to bring Leah to go shopping. What do you think?"
At first he thought that Amelia would grab his thighs and beg him not to go. Then he would allow her to go with him. In this way, this would make Amelia insecure and Leah lose interest in him. This was his kill two birds with one stone plan.
However, Patrick waited and Amelia just responded in a plain voice, "Oh! It's Leah who asked you out. Go ahead!"
Patrick's heart clenched and he stepped forward. He hooked his arm around Amelia's chin and lowered his body to keep a close distance with her. He did not miss a single trace of her expression. "You don't mind?"
Amelia took it for granted and said, "Why should I mind?"
Anyway, Leah was not really interested in him.
Patrick decided to taunt her. "What if I am interested in her suddenly and accidentally hook up with her?"
Amelia's mouth twitched. "Then your taste... is unique."
After all, Leah was his cousin. He could not really take the opportunity!
Patrick wore a sullen face and said, "Are you sure you won't go with me?"
"I don't think there's a need..."
As soon as Amelia's voice fell, she immediately thought that she had to be careful with other Dollar Family members except Leah. So she suggested, "Mr. Hopper, Jessica finally asked me out. If I were to refuse, it would be impolite. I don't think you are willing to see Leah. Why don't you cancel your plan?"
Patrick said with a poker face, "I can't cancel it because my mom is involved in it."
