Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 690

Eve's odd behavior would throw the younger generation of the family into a state of chaos.

Therefore, instead of regarding Howard as a coward, Amelia felt that it would be more appropriate to describe him as sacrificing himself in exchange for the peace within his family.

Upon arriving at the supermarket, Amelia was responsible for pushing the shopping cart while Howard was lost staring at each of the signboard on top of him.

At the sight of this, Amelia smiled and said, "Dad, the fresh food department is on your left. Just follow me."

"Alright." Howard nodded in relief.

"Dad, is there anything that you are refrained from consuming?"

If it was in the past, Amelia could more or less tell his preference. However, since he had pledged himself to God, Amelia was not sure if his preference had changed.

Howard replied meaningfully, "The most important thing is your sincerity towards deities. It doesn't matter whether you've consumed meat or alcohol. Hence, I don't have anything in particular that I can't eat."

"Well, then I'll get some beef and pork. Um... I think some chicken will be good..."

Seeing that Amelia was engaged in picking stuff over the freezer, Howard began feeling bored.

He habitually put his hand behind his back and followed Amelia at her back as if he was supervising her work.

Amelia had came to realize this in a short while. She thought that she might be able to make use of Howard's help as she asked, "Dad, can I trouble you by asking you for some help?"

"Go ahead!" Howard replied without hesitation.

"Can you go and pick some shallots and garlic for me? I will need them for dinner later. Oh yeah, don't forget to bring me ginger too!"

"Shallots, garlic and ginger." Howard murmured to himself before he turned around to leave.

"Eh, dad!" Seeing that Howard was lost in direction, Amelia quickly pulled his arm and said, "Wet market is on your right."

Howard sighed, "I had not been out for quite some time. It seems like my mind is functioning slow now."

With that said, he earnestly followed each of the signboard hanging on top of his head leading him to the wet market.

Amelia took a few steps forward worriedly. She finally heaved a sigh in relief after making sure that Howard had found his way to the entrance of the wet market from afar.

Ten minutes later...

"Amelia, please come and check if I've gotten the things you needed correctly."

Amelia took over those three bags. She sneaked a glance at each of the bags just to find out that they were all in terrible conditions.

But as soon as she saw the excitement on Howard's face as if he was waiting for approval, Amelia gave him a big thumb up and complimented, "Yes, they are all I needed. You did an awesome job!"

A trace of delight flashed across Howard's face although he took her compliment at ease, "This means nothing to me. Did I ever tell you before that I used to be a farmer long ago? I can now easily tell the quality and grade of the onions and garlics from the experience accumulated from those good old days."

Despite feeling entertained by his boasting, Amelia did not expose him.

As she was pushing the shopping cart, she smiled and asked, "Dad, I think I've gathered everything I needed. Should we buy some drinks? What do you like in preference? Let's say coke or sprite?"

Howard frowned with her words, "Dear, carbonated drinks are not good for health."

"It causes no harm to make an exception for today." Amelia tried to convince Howard girlishly.

Howard stuck out one finger and said solemnly, "Fine then, only this time!"

"Dad, you're the best!" Amelia hoorayed in excitement.

At Land of Fragrance.

When both of them returning home with each of them carrying two loaded plastic bags on their hands respectively, Howard exclaimed, "Where's Patrick?"

Sensing the anxiety of the old folk, Amelia swept a quick glance at the hall.
