Chapter 757
In the days after the funeral, Patrick didn’t leave hurriedly. Instead, he stayed with his grandfather in the
Hopkins family, which was the most filial thing he had done in all these years.
Paul and Nanny Faang were very pleased. Although Senior Mr. Hopkins didn’t say anything, he was
also very comforted in his heart. After all, he was a person who had suffered through thick and thin. It
grieved him to see his son die of illness. But after these days with his grandson, he gradually felt better.
“My father finally doesn’t have to suffer from illness and live for others.” His grandson Patrick only said
this to him that day.
Senior Mr. Hopkins suddenly realized that it was his selfishness to keep his son alive all these years.
His son, Victor, was too gentle to express his inner feelings. Instead, the temper of his grandson was
more reassuring.
However, there was one thing that the old man always worried about. “You don’t like women? Don’t
learn some unhealthy tendencies from the outside!”
In Senior Mr. Hopkins’s conservative views, two men were not acceptable to be a couple. Patrick was
the only grandson of the Hopkins family. He was hoping that his grandson could give birth to more
children for the family.
Patrick was a little surprised. He didn’t understand why his grandfather suddenly asked him such a
boring
question.
“I’m asking you the question. Make it clear to me!”
Senior Mr. Hopkins snapped, afraid that this bastard was really gay.
Patrick refused to answer these stupid questions and looked back at his grandfather with a serious
expression. He pinched his lips and said nothing.
It irritated Senior Mr. Hopkins. He hit Patrick with his walking stick, and the old butler behind
immediately stopped him, “Old Master, calm down.”
If Young Master Hopkins was injured, the old man would regret himself.
It would also hurt their relationship. What if Young Master Hopkins went abroad and wouldn’t come
back?
“Young master is young, and he hasn’t considered these problems.” The old butler was appeasing.
Senior Mr. Hopkins scolded angrily, “Is he still young? Hmph, the grandson of the Capener family
already had a child at 16. He is also keeping several women at home. Patrick is 22 this year. He should
have gotten married and had a child now!”
Patrick raised his eyebrows and remained silent.
The old butler didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The young master of the Capener family was a
dissolute man who had played with so many women at the age of 16. He was not a good example.
“Old master, take things slow. Young master is still young. Marriage depends on fate,” the old butler
advised gently.
Senior Mr. Hopkins snorted. He had no choice but to give up. How could he force his grandson to give
birth to a great-grandchild for him? It would even be difficult to ask him to return to the Hopkins family.
Neither Senior Mr. Hopkins nor the old butler expected that Patrick would marry until he was in his late
twenties.
Patrick listened to his grandfather’s scolding for five days which finally reached his limit. “Tell grandpa
I’m going to C City today.”
Patrick lived in Eastern Garden, and Nanny Faang was looking after his daily life. “Young master, are
you leaving now?” Nanny Faang wasn’t surprised, but she was a little disappointed.
Everyone in the Hopkins family was looking forward to Patrick could return home from abroad. novelbin
“I’m going to C City today… I’ll come back before I go abroad.” It was rare for Patrick to say a few more
words to Nanny Faang.
“Okay. Do you need a driver?”
“No.”
Patrick had no special purpose on this trip to C City. He just wanted to go out for a walk and find Derek,
his friend.
In Patrick’s view, Derek was alone and carefree. In contrast, he was busy every day, but his inner world
was very similar to Derek’s. Both of them felt empty and they didn’t know what was missing. Anyways,
Patrick liked to spend time with smart people.
He probably wouldn’t stay at home, but there were some projects that he could corporate with Derek.
Nanny Faang told the Senior Mr. Hopkins about Patrick’s leave. The old man frowned, and the old
butler beside was also anxious, “If only the young master was willing to stay at home.” It was their wish,
but everyone understood that it was impossible.
“The young master Hopkins said he would come back before he went abroad.” Nanny Faang repeated,
afraid that Senior Mr. Hopkins would miss out. At least Patrick did not leave without saying goodbye.
Senior Mr. Hopkins snorted angrily and said nothing.
“It happened to be young master’s birthday when Victor died,” Nanny Faang reminded him in a low
voice and sighed.
It was an easy memorable day because it happened to be the lantern festival. There were days that
they really wanted to forget, but it was hard to pretend not to remember.
“He doesn’t care about his birthday. And he doesn’t celebrate at home anyway.”
Old Master Hopkin looked grim. He was worried that his grandson would be even more unwilling to go
home in the future. No one could control him.
In C City, Patrick was in a taxi and soon arrived at a high school.
