Chapter 870
Abner stared at the vest on his body in confusion. He then glanced at Savannah so that she would solve his puzzlement.
Helping him to dress up, Savannah explained to him patiently, "We're having two guests today. They are now downstairs. One of them is Mr. Wright that you know of, while another one is the young lady that I told you before. Do you remember there's a lady who once donated blood for you?"
At this juncture, Abner's eyes enlarged as if he could tell who was the person that Savannah was referring to. She seemed like she could read his mind as she nodded, "Yes, she's the one! Didn't you take away her photo from Mr. Wright the other day?"
Abner nodded slightly. He reached out to touch Savannah's fingers with his chubby hand. She could tell from his expression that he was anxious to meet her.
At this realization, Savannah immediately responded, "Abner, do you want me to button up this shirt quicker?"
Although Abner said nothing, his eyes were wide opened. It was hard to overlook the excitement in his eyes as if he could not wait to meet Amelia.
Even if Savannah regarded herself as the person who could understand every of his needs due to the time she had spent with him, she actually struggled to understand what was on his mind at this moment.
"Well, Ms. Ramsay doesn't seem like a bad person after all." Savannah tried to convince herself. She heard that Amelia was Kaiden's lover and that she was carrying his child.
Regarding this, Kaiden had already reminded Amelia out of kindness.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
This was also the reason why she looked frustrated after Kaiden spoke to her.
When Simon left them temporarily to prepare tea, Amelia hurriedly turned around and spoke to Kaiden, "Um, I'm sorry that I had made such a lie the last time when I was here. But I had no other choice. I thought you were going to leave me alone there. I swear I didn't mean to take advantage of you. In a while, I will explain to Simon myself."
There were some crackers remaining on Kaiden's knee. While eating, he murmured, "Are you sure that Simon is the only person that you need to explain to?"
Kaiden supposed everyone in The Quarley's House had already assumed that they were in a serious relationship.
"What do you mean?" As she asked, Amelia subconsciously shifted a little away from Kaiden so that the crumbs that Kaiden was chewing would not accidentally be spat at her.
Unfortunately, Kaiden had noticed of her behavior. It did not take him long to realize why she behaved so. He was triggered as he exclaimed, "Why the hell are you avoiding me?"
Amelia dodged further away as she clearly saw the crumbs spitting out from his mouth. She begged, "Eh! Can you please calm down?"
After all, Kaiden was an elite raised from the high-end society. However, he had lost count on times that he had ended up in embarrassment in front of Amelia to the extent that it would completely make sense if Amelia would not agree that he was an elite himself.
Seeing that Kaiden's anger was at the verge of outburst, Amelia hurriedly took out a packet of facial tissue from her handbag. She handed it over to Kaiden from a distance and said, "Nah, you can wipe with this."
Kaiden was driven by an impulse to swear at her but he changed his mind as soon as he saw Simon approaching them with a tea set.
A few good-looking servants could be seen following at his back with exquisite refreshment on
their hands to be served to them.
However, it was not the refreshment that he should care about. At that moment, most importantly he should behave like an elite in front of others. Hence, he took over the tissue handed by Amelia and said 'thank you' although his smile was distantly cold.
"Ah, you're welcome." Amelia was caught by surprise since she had never expected him to say 'thank you'.
All Simon could see when he returned was that Kaiden would not stop wiping his collar. Simon squinted to have a closer look yet he found no stains on it.
"Mr. Wright, what's wrong with your clothes?" Simon asked in confusion.
This question had immediately caught Kaiden off guard. It was after some time that Kaiden had finally looked up and shrugged, "Nothing. We're just messing with each other. Oh yeah, where's my cousin? Aren't you the one who told me that he's at home?"
Simon replied, "He is indeed at home. I've already let Savannah to notify him that you're here."
Kaiden had no more questions after that. Even Amelia's attention was drawn by Simon's reply. She realized that her eyes began darting between the right and left spiral staircase as she could not be sure which one would Sawyer take.
At the same time, Simon had already placed two tea cups respectively in front of both of them. He then filled the cups with English milk tea. Simon thought that Amelia would most probably like this
kind of tea as it was sweetened and rich in taste.
Having in mind the status and identity of Kaiden, Simon first brought the tea cup to him respectfully, "Mr. Wright, please enjoy your cup of tea."
"Thanks." Kaiden took over the exquisite tea cup from Simon. There was apparently a lack of interest as he only took one casual peek at the cup he was holding.
Simon then turned to Amelia and said, "Ms. Ramsay, please."
Amelia hurriedly took over the tea cup from him. She first took a deep breath before she pretended to be enchanted by the fragrance of the tea, "The tea smells fragrant! Oh, and the design of the tea cup is so exquisite! Are they roses? Roses are my favorite!"
Simon's face glowed upon hearing her comment.
Kaiden looked disdainful at her pretentious comment especially when he thought of the fact that Amelia had never talked to him like this before. After all, she only fooled people this way when they were being useful to her.
Her harmless face was her greatest weapon. Even
Simon had fallen into her trap.
After making such comment, she took a sip on the cup of tea with her expression excessively divine as if it was not a cup of milk tea but some holy water. Kaiden could not help feeling amused as he thought, Amelia is no doubt good at manipulating people in favor of her!"
Well, it was always wise to befriend with their closest person before asking for favor.
Simon happened to be the closest person of his cousin. In fact, he had served his cousin for more than a decade in the past. It would not be exaggerating to draw such a conclusion that his cousin had been taken care under Simon's wing.
Kaiden was unhappy with the fact that Amelia was so engaged in having a conversation with Simon that he had been left out by the two of them. Hence, he purposely made loud noises when sipping on his cup of tea so that their conversation could not continue.
Initially, Amelia would like to get some information from Simon. However, Kaiden would not stop interrupting her to the extent that she had no choices but to stop her conversation with Simon. She took a glance at Kaiden and struggled to keep her voice soft as she said, "Can you stop seeking attention?"
"Huh? Am I?" Kaiden fired the question back while sipping on the tea in a loud tone.
Amelia could not help feeling irritated when he exaggerated the sound of sipping tea. She grumbled, "Do you know that your action made you seem like a rat gritting teeth?"
It was followed by the sound of ceramic shattering.
With assertion of force by his teeth, Kaiden broke the edge of the English tea cup.
Fortunately, there was not much tea remained in the cup when it broke. Otherwise, his clothes would be ruined again this time.
Simon who had been observing the two of them all this while, stood up immediately when the incident happened. He bypassed Amelia and came to Kaiden before he asked concerningly, "Mr. Wright! Please give me the cup! Oh yeah, are your teeth alright?"
Amelia too was stunned. She only managed to find her voice some time later and commented boldly, "I have to admit that I'm wrong then. You're more vicious than a rat. Are you a dinosaur?"
