Realizing that he was sitting on the only long couch while the other single couches were occupied by Granny Hopper and Florence, which meant that she had to sit with Patrick?
Amelia became somewhat hesitant.
Patrick patted the empty space on his side, "Andrew, Ashley, come over to my side."
As a result, the two kids around Amelia immediately leaned in Patrick.
Amelia was helpless and deliberately stretched herself and said, "I'm so sleepy, I'll go to bed first."
"Ah!" Ashley, who was watching TV, suddenly screamed with her hands covering her butt. Amelia was so worried and hurriedly asked, "Ashley, what's wrong with you?"
At Patrick's suggestive gaze, Ashley cryptically reached out her hand and asked Amelia, "I want you to hug...."
Amelia wanted to refuse.
Because she really didn't want to sit down with Patrick, an emotionally unstable man.
"Ah!" At this time, Andrew followed by a roar.
Andrew looked at Patrick, who was twisting his butt, and understood what he meant, then begged, "Auntie Amelia, I'm scared to watch TV.
Amelia was speechless.
Why were they afraid to watch this TV show? It was the "Animal World" not a horror movie, and the whole family was sitting here, they didn't need her to accompany.
Granny Hopper was noticing Patrick's underhanded movements to Ashley and Andrew, smiled, and advised Amelia, "These two kids like you. Don't refuse them."
Alright...
Amelia sat self-consciously on the far right side of the couch with her pillow, her two children in the middle, and Patrick on the far left, which was the safest distance, and she felt a little more at ease.
In "Animal World," the narrator narrated with emotion, "In spring, it's the mating season again... This herd of wild lions will thrive on the African savannah..."
After that, the TV screen began to show images of lions mating.
While the adults quietly watched TV, Ashley and Andrew kept up a raucous discussion...
Ashley, "Oh! The male lion is so big. Will it crush the female lion?"
Andrew said, "No, don't you see that the female lion is pouting her butt? She is enjoying it!"
At this time, Florence coughed slightly, "I'm going upstairs to bed!"
Granny Hopper got up from the couch uncomfortably, "Florence, I'm going to your room and talk to you for a minute."
Quickly, there were two fewer people in the living
room.
Ashley, not realizing what she was doing, said, "Wow, this male lion is crushing the female lion at least 8 times a day! Are humans like that too?"
Andrew encouraged his sister, "You'll have to ask Uncle Patrick about that."
Ashley was not shy at all, asked, "Uncle Patrick, can you do it 8 times a day?"
Patrick answered resolutely, "Of course I can."
Ashley's mouth was in an "0" shape of amazement, and Andrew adored Patrick even more.
The next day.
"Amelia, come, come, I was out shopping the other day and saw a nice florist, so I ordered a few bags of pansy seeds from them and they promised to deliver them today. It's a pity that you don't plant flowers in your garden when you have such a big empty lawn."
Hearing Granny Hopper's words, Amelia said with hesitation, "Granny Happer, I know it's good for you to grow flowers, but will Patrick agree with it?"
Since she moved in, the layout of the house had remained pretty much the same, and it was clear that Patrick was intent on keeping things the way they were, but he would be angry again if they suddenly changed.
Granny Hopper waved her hand. "I don't care about him! I just plant some flowers, is that very matter?"
At this time, the doorbell rang, "Excuse me, is it The Hopper Family, No. XX at Land of Fragrance? The flowers you ordered are here
Granny Hopper said to Amelia happily, "Come on. I'm going to check the goods."
Amelia picked up her wallet sensibly and paid the bill.
There were shovels for digging in the storeroom, so Amelia followed Granny Hopper for a taste of the gardener's life, and Granny Hopper sweated and muttered, "It'll be nice if there were a farm around here."
Amelia was squatting behind her and digging the ground, raised her sweaty face, and asked, "Why?"
Granny Hopper answered, "Animal manure is a great fertilizer."
Amelia was surprised and thankful that there were no farms here.
But on the other hand, she couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of how germaphobic Patrick would react if the lawn was littered with animal feces.
The next second, the phone ringtone interrupted Amelia's imagination. She put down the shovel, wiped her palm on her trouser, and took out her phone. She saw a strange call flashing on the screen.
