She grew up under the care of her two elder brothers. Although Cedric was arrogant, he treated Amelia very well. So did Nacho. He looked cold and indifferent, but he was very careful.
But Nacho felt so sad because of her, which made Amelia feel so guilty and sorrowful.
"Is it... because of me?" Sibyl smiled bitterly and said in a hoarse voice.
"I don't know what to do. I want Nacho to be happy, but... now he and Mignon have a quarrel and they're going to divorce. I don't know what to do! I also want you to be happy..." Amelia looked at Sibyl helplessly.
She knew that it was not Sibyl's fault, and Sibyl was innocent.
She really didn't know what to do, she just felt... very heavyhearted.
"Kitty, if Nacho doesn't want this child, I will... abort him. It's my fault. I broke the happiness of Nacho and Mignon. I'm a sinner." Sibyl hugged her belly and sobbed in a low voice.
Looking at Sibyl's crying face, Amelia was a little flustered.
"Sibyl, I don't... blame you..."
"Kitty... Do you think that I'm very mean? I know that Nacho has never loved me, but I... still love him. That night, I knew that he was drunk, but I seduced him. It's all my fault." Sibyl raised her head and looked at Amelia with tears in his eyes.
Amelia felt sad and didn't know what to do. She didn't whether she should speak for Mignon or Sibyl.
"I'll find Miss Brooks and ask her to go back to Nacho's side. I... don't want to ruin her happiness."
Sibyl wiped her tears, got up and rushed out of the house.
"Sibyl!" Watching Sibyl leave, Amelia was a little scared. She was worried that Sibyl would do something to hurt herself and called her name anxiously.
However, Sibyl disappeared in her eyesight quickly. Amelia had no choice but to follow her.
"Do you feel uncomfortable? If you don't want to leave Nacho, I can send you home now." Egbert sat in the living room with Mignon for a whole night.
After returning from the bar, Mignon had been sitting in the living room in a daze.
She held a pillow in her arms and stared at the TV in front of her, like a soulless puppet.
Egbert said worriedly when he saw Mignon like this.
"No... I don't want to go back. I don't... have to go back." Hearing Egbert's words, Mignon frowned slightly. Her voice was indifferent and glum.
Seeing how persistent Mignon was, there was a strange expression in Egbert's eyes. He looked at her, squatted down and said, "Mignon, if you really feel so painful, you can divorce Nacho. He betrayed you and even made Sibyl pregnant. He is not worth your sadness."
"Since you're so sad, you should let go of your love for him completely."
Mignon grabbed the cushion under her body, her pale face turned colder because of Egbert's words.
Her whole body was as stiff as a stone.
Egbert's eyes darkened when he saw Mignon like this. He narrowed his eyes, reached out and rubbed her chin, "Mignon, be my girlfriend, and I'll be good to you, okay?"
"Egbert." His sudden confession shocked Mignon. Her body suddenly shrank as she pushed Egbert's hand away.
Mignon's resistance made Egbert a little unhappy. He narrowed his eyes and stared at her coldly. Mignon didn't pay attention to his actions, because she felt very dizzy at the moment.
Egbert looked at Mignon for a long time before he said slowly, "Mignon, I... like you."
"Egbert, don't joke with me." Mignon's face was slightly stiff. She just regarded Egbert as her friend and never had any other thoughts. She didn't except that Egbert actually liked her.
"Do you think I'm joking?" Egbert frowned and asked in reply.
Hearing Egbert's words, Mignon was speechless.
"I can wait for the day when you can accept me. If you feel painful or uncomfortable, I hope you can think of me at the first time, okay?" Egbert's face was full of gentleness, he looked very tender and charming at the moment, but Mignon's body froze for no reason.
She turned her head slightly, as if she didn't want to see him. Egbert didn't force Mignon. He got up and went to the kitchen to cook for her.
Mignon hugged her head and thought of Nacho's sad smile last night, then she felt so painful in her heart. This kind if feeling almost drove her crazy. She was really melancholy...
"Nacho..."
