Andrew was easygoing and happy with everything you gave him.
Amelia took a piece of chocolate from the refrigerator and gave it to them. She didn't give the whole to them because their teeth might be decayed.
"Do you know each other?" Patrick asked without knowing they met in the afternoon.
Nora smiled lightly and said, "Amelia had her hair styled in my beauty salon and the two babies were there as well."
After saying that, Nora went upstairs to invite Howard and Eve. Seeing Amelia, Eve said in a strange tone, "Oh, such a rare visitor."
Pretending not understand Eve's sarcasm, Amelia greeted politely, "Dad, Mom."
Since moving out, she rarely came here.
It was because Florence was busy with her work and Howard was often not at home, only the tough mother-in-law, who didn't like her, was there. If she came back, she would be suffering and it was better to be tactful and avoid it.
Howard asked the juniors to be seated and asked, "Amelia, have you been busy with work lately?"
"... Not bad." Amelia answered. Her supervisor Lily didn't assign her too much work in recent days and she got so idle that she surfed the Internet for 10 hours a day at work.
Howard wore a meaningful smile and asked, "Since you're not busy and the Saint Valentine's Day is coming, do you have any plan?"
"Working overtime," Amelia replied at the same time as Patrick.
Pretending not hearing anything, the father-in-law asked Nora to present all the travel maps and strategies prepared. He asked, "Provence, Eiffel, Las Vegas... Which one do you like?"
The couple didn't show any interest.
Nora tried to lobby Amelia, "France is good... After getting married, we were there for honeymoon."
On the other side, Patrick, who was forced to go for a Valentine leave, said discontentedly, "As I said, we'll work overtime for sales promotion, so it's impossible for us to leave."
"We won't lose business without you for a few days," Howard said earnestly.
Patrick didn't answer with indifference.
His attitude was so infuriating. Seeing her father-in-law wanted blame Patrick, Amelia hurriedly said, "Dad, if we travel for Saint Valentine's Day, others will certainly do the same. Then are we going for sightseeing or tourist seeing? So, can we travel after Saint Valentine's Day to avoid the big crowd?"
Howard thought for a moment and agreed, "Alright, that's settled then."
In the master bedroom, as soon as Patrick closed the door, he heard Amelia saying with anger, "Why didn't you think with flexibility and convince your dad first? And then we talk later if going or not."
She had to sort this small issue out, but how could he be this useless!
Patrick was amused and said, "Do you think you can go back on your word after promising him? Let's wait and see. If you don't want to go then, he will take you there."
Amelia felt shocked and asked, "No way! It's so desperate?"
Patrick said with a pun in his voice, "If not, why do you think that I'll marry you?"
Hearing this, Amelia felt unhappy and said, "You think I wanted to marry you?"
Patrick raised his eyebrows and asked, "why not?"
Amelia answered, "You are older than me, old man."
"I'm only 30 years old." After a pause, Patrick said evilly, "It doesn't matter how old I'm as long as my dick still works. What do you think, Mrs. Hopper?"
