Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

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?!"
