Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 16

As expected, Amelia was shivering with cold in her sleep. Finally, she couldn't hold on any longer, sneezing twice and sat up.

At this time, the sky was turning bright - it was already early in the morning.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes and walking under the air conditioner, Amelia was stunned when she saw the 16 on LED screen.

She subconsciously looked at Patrick, who was covered by the heavy quilt and was almost melted with the quilt. There was no doubt that it was he who deliberately made it.

Taking a deep breath, Amelia quietly looked around and finally found the remote control under Patrick's pillow.

She took a deep breath and pulled out the remote control of the AC, pressing a dozen minus to lower the temperature.

Venting her spleen by throwing the remote control in the bed, clapping her hands and cheering, she went out the bedroom with a light heart. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

She walked downstairs to the kitchen and wanted to find something to eat, but was shocked when she recognized the busy figure in the kitchen.

Her mother- in- law Eve was preparing fish for the couple!

However, she was not practised in knife - the fish's head fell into the trash can beside her and a small splash of blood splashed all over her body, which scared herself so much.

Amelia was embarrassed and asked, "Mom, let me do it?"

Eve whipped round and showed a disappointed look, as it was Amelia, her second daughter-in-law who had a prejudice against her, not Nora, the first one who was obedient.

What was worse was that Amelia happened to know that she was not good at cooking, which was embarrassing. She said stubbornly, "No need! I can do it myself!"

Amelia wasn't angered at all and asked, "Then, let me put on an apron for you?"

She took off the apron hanging on the wall.

Hearing this, Eve was annoyed.

"As the mother- in- law, why am I supposed to be serving the couple by cooking while Amelia had empty hands? I should have taken this opportunity to establish my authority." She thought.

Making up her mind, Eve stood aside and told Amelia, "Prepare the breakfast. I'll now go upstairs and change. The fish must be cooked when I am done."

There was a cook at home, but her daughter was about to give birth last night, so she asked for a halfday leave and won't be back till midday.

So there was no other choice but Eve cooked herself.

"No problem." Amelia put on the apron and tied quickly. Then she composedly asked her mother-in- law, "Mom, what else shall I prepare?"

To tell the truth, she didn't understand why they had to eat fish in the early morning. It was too fishy!

But she kept quiet in front of her mighty mother-in-law.

Accidentally Eve's glasses fell into the plastic bag in the sink and she said slowly, "The deer's kidney..."

Amelia interrupted casually, "Fish, kidney... Mom, your taste is too strong."

A trace of anger flashed across Eve's face. "They are good for your health by improving the quality of your sexual life!"

Amelia curled her lips and figured out that Eve wanted her to be pregnant soon. Patrick, however, did not seem to intend to have a child with her, so Eve's intention might fail.

"The garrupa should be steamed with the pressure cooker and the deer's kidney should be stewed in a steam pot. You get it?" Eve repeated the steps she searched online last night.

Amelia agreed adorably, "Okay, mom, go and change. Don't worry and I'll do as you said."

Eve left the kitchen and looked back frequently to ensure Amelia was doing as instructed. Amelia smiled bitterly to the messy fish and the kidney on the cutting board and handled them properly, placing into the pot in an orderly manner.
