Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

The most senior servant led them into the hall after they had put their slippers on.

Gramps Hopper had a stern face on and Granny Hopper had put on a friendly one. They could be seen sitting in the middle of the spacious hall.

As for Howard and Eve, both of them sat on the other side of the couch while listening to Gramps Hopper's lectured them.

Amelia could not tell what had he been telling Eve. All she heard was Eve replying earnestly, "Yes, dad. I will take note on this..."

Amelia had never seen Eve behaved as such. According to her memory, she had known Eve to be someone who was stuck-up who could never be reasoned with. That was why she was impressed by the influence Gramps Hopper had over the entire Hopper Family.

After the servant had led the group to the hall, Gramps Hopper ended the conversation with Eve before he swept a glance at the youngsters.

There was affection in his eyes when his gaze fell on Owen.

This was mainly because Owen had been growing up with Gramps Hopper. Hence, under his undue influence, Owen had committed himself to the duty as a member of army.

Therefore, Gramps Hopper could not help recalling the days he spent in army every time he looked at his eldest grandchild.

On the other hand, Eve felt exactly different towards Owen's commitment as a soldier. She could not help but view Owen's crippled leg as a disability, whereas Gramps Hopper thought that it was a life-long award that signified his contribution to the country. Hence, every time when he stared at Owen's leg that got shot, he could not help feeling sorry yet proud of his grandson.

Shifting his gaze from Owen to Nora who was standing next to him, Gramps Hopper nodded in an unnoticeable manner.

Although Nora was not someone who came from an elite background, she was no doubt equipped with wife material and that she had never troubled The Hopper Family so far.

Most importantly, she had given birth to twins, which were both healthy and adorable.

These criteria alone were more than enough for her to be accepted and recognized as part of The Hopper Family!

Gramps Hopper's gaze subsequently fell onto

Patrick who was next to Nora.

Upon seeing his second grandchild,

Gramps Hopper could not help but snort. The loudness of his snort was enough to illustrate the annoyance he had towards Patrick.
