Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 68

Amelia's joke was treated seriously by her mother-in-law, who slammed the bowl and shouted at her, "How dare you!"

This anger made everyone in the table stunned. Amelia looked at her mother- in- law and asked, "Mom, who are you blaming?"

"You!" Eve had been unhappy with her for a long time. This time, she simply blamed her, "Patrick just asked you to help him with a crab, but you refused. Then what else can he expect from you? Will you cook for him at home?"

Amelia had no idea how her mother-in-law drew this conclusion and said, "Mom, first of all, Patrick is an adult. Secondly, his limbs are in good condition. So I think that not only women should be able to cook and clean up the house, but also men. We're living in the 21 st century, where women are equal to men. It's better to buy a multi-functional rice cooker than to marry a cook. Am I right, Mom?"

"I agree!" Florence admired her second sister-in-law so much. On one hand, she thought that women had the ability to do what men were able to do with the same quality. On the other hand, no one else in the Family of Hopper dared to offend Eve like this, but Amelia was so reasonable that everyone was convinced.

Florence's statement annoyed Eve more.

Florence immediately gave in and said, "Heh heh heh

heh, you can continue..."

Eve thought Amelia's personality was totally out of control and she must be taught a lesson, so she said, "Patrick is always busy at work, then how can he cook at home like a housewife? As his wife, you should think about how to ease his burden."

Amelia kept silent as Patrick was really busy at work.

Eve continued, "You can't make a lot of money no matter how hard you work at Roxxon. You'd better resign and become a housewife, taking after Patrick. If you need money, just ask Patrick. He can afford it."

Amelia had nothing to say.

Her mother-in-law wanted her to take care of her son like a nanny, and she was so arrogant, just like she sponsored by The Hopper Family in charity.

Hearing this, Howard requested, "Shut up! Amelia is our daughter-in-law, not a nanny!"

"Thank you, dad!" Upon her father-in-law's defense, Amelia felt warm- hearted. As encouraged, she turned to her mother-in-law and said, "I think, as a woman, except marriage, I should put my dream into reality. Not every marriage is unbreakable and indestructible and the only thing that won't betray me is my career. As long as I make an effort, my career will bring me returns. Therefore, I have to keep myself strong and will never resign."

Eve's eyes burned with anger, shouted, "You mean my son is unreliable?!"

Amelia was speechless as her mother- in- law obviously misunderstood. It seemed it was meaningless to stay here anymore.

"Everyone, thank you for your hospitality tonight. I gotta go now." Then she left the table without any reluctance.

Seeing the daughter-in-law was so disobedient, Eve was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She shouted at Amelia's back, "Let her go! Anyone on the street is better bred than her!"

After Patrick finished his meal, he put down the cloth and was about to leave the table.

Seeing this, Eve became anxious, required, "Patrick, stay here tonight. Keep away from her!"

Patrick said slowly, "No. It's a long way from here to home, so I have to take good care of her."

Eve took a deep breath and asked with her chest heaved violently, "Is she more important than me in your heart?"

It was a question that can't be properly answered.

"..." Patrick didn't know what to say.

Howard rubbed his eyebrows and advised his wife, "Don't make a fool of yourself like a child."

While Howard was persuading Eve not to blame Amelia, Patrick ran out to catch up with Amelia.

At the back, he faintly heard Eve shouting, "I'm not happy with this daughter-in-law!"

Shaking her head, Florence secretly thought that it was really difficult to deal with a woman who was going through menopause, so she secretly put down her chopsticks and sneaked into her room.

Then she turned on the computer to search "The clinics dealing with men infertility".
