Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Ashley was never a keen learner at school. However, upon hearing the question from Gramps Hopper, she hurriedly answered before Andrew could respond to gramps. She replied earnestly, "We're both hardworking in our studies! Even our school teachers had complimented us in class!"

Although Andrew said nothing to retort his sister, he could not help rolling his eyes secretly. After all, he knew better than anyone else that Ashley was a problematic student who had always been punished by their teachers during class.

"Oh? Then why I heard from your grandmother that she get you a home tutor earlier?" It turned out that Gramps Hopper was not a person whom Ashley could bluff off easily.

She could not help but glance at Eve dejectedly.

In fact, Ashley was still holding a grudge against Eve for kicking Rick last Christmas.

Since she was the one who told Gramps Hopper that she had gotten them a home tutor, Ashley could not help but dislike her even more.

"Ashley, your great-grandfather is talking to you. Why are you looking at me?" There was no doubt that Eve had not understood the message hidden beneath Ashley's stare. To make the situation worse, Eve had thrown the question back at her.

At this moment, Ashley completely despised her grandmother. However, she was also aware that she was no one but the youngest in The Hopper Family who did not have a say at everything. If she was rude towards Eve, it would end up very bad for herself. Or even worse, she might as well embarrass her mother in front of everyone.

Upon some deliberation, Ashley looked at Gramps Hopper again with an adorable smile on her face, "It's true that granny had gotten us a home tutor some time ago. But didn't she tell you that the home tutor had already been fired?"

Hearing this, Eve hurriedly explained, "Dad, after I employed the home tutor, I soon found out evidence that she had misbehaved. That was why I decided to terminate her contract."

Initially, Eve was not going to tell

Gramps Hopper about the termination of contract of the home tutor that she had employed for the kids. Had he known of the truth, there was no doubt that he would have blamed her for hiring a frivolous person as the home tutor for the kids.

After all, everyone in The Hopper Family was

particularly sensitive when it came to the occupation of teacher ever since the affair between Sissi and Patrick had occurred.

As expected, as soon as Gramps Hopper learned of the fact that the home tutor had misbehaved, he could not help scolding Eve, "How did you end up choosing her as your candidate for the position of a home tutor in the very first place? Don't you know that misbehavior of a teacher can leave an adverse impact on the kids?"

Upon hearing his words, everyone could not help but recall the affair between Patrick and Sissi.
