Amelia was not feeling regretted for scolding Kaiden. It was for sure that the prank that he had pulled on her had killed numerous brain cells of her which could not be compensated for.
However, she did not allow herself to be blinded by such boiling anger. Ever since she got married with Patrick, she had to admit that there was a significant improvement of her tolerance towards others.
"Let's talk face to face," Amelia spoke the last sentence over the phone before she hung up the call.
Kaiden kept his phone as well with a hint of mischievous smile spread across his face.
Amelia walked in direction of Kaiden. When she finally came to him and spoke, her expression was emotionless, "Kaiden, do you think that I should buy Mr. Sawyer a gift before I officially meet him? You had never mentioned his preference to me before."
She remembered that Kaiden had only brought up what displeased Sawyer but made no mention to his preference on the last occasion. Under the due influence of Kaiden and Wayion, she had not realized this problem all this while.
Hearing this, Kaiden raised his chin arrogantly and said, "I'm the favorite person of my cousin. So long as you tag me along, I'm sure you can ask for whatever you want."
The corner of Amelia's mouth twitched in disbelief.
She would have disowned such a troublesome cousin if she were Sawyer. However, who knew, since Kaiden and Sawyer were both capable of surprising people with their standalone character, it was possible for them to admire each other.
Ugh! No way!
She could not bring herself to picture the intimidating scene of two grown-up men together.
"Let's get onto the car now."
Kaiden had already opened the door of his silvery white sport car and gestured her to get into the car when Amelia was lost in her thought.
In fact, Kaiden was nothing but well-mannered if he chose not to behave recklessly.
In face of his charm, it was hard for any women including Amelia to hold grudge against him.
"Thank you." She said as a matter of courtesy before she got onto the co-driver seat. As soon as Kaiden slammed the door shut, Amelia knew that her journey for the day began.
As compared to the previous time, the journey heading to Streams Villa was no longer mysterious. Instead, she could feel her heart pounded nervously on the way this time.
If she were to be regarded as coming unprepared last time when she was there, then the official meeting scheduled between both parties this timewas going to be a completely different story to tell!
She wondered if he was an easygoing person.
It was not entirely impossible if he chose to turn her plea down after treating her with dinner.
After all, she had used his name without consent to get approval of government regarding Apex Construction Corporation. This matter would be more than enough to leave a bad impression of her for him.
Nevertheless, she must not forget the fact that she had donated blood to his beloved son before. She wondered if he would forgive her as a token of appreciation for saving his son's life.
At this juncture, any smart people could tell her calculative moves. It would not catch Amelia surprise to know that Sawyer might have thought of her the same way!
It was an utter frustration as she could not tell what was on Sawyer's mind.
Amelia could not help feeling that this trip was extremely torturous. Such feeling was getting overwhelming when she was desperate to know Sawyer's opinion yet she could not, not until she met him. Hence, this feeling would only got intense over time.
Kaiden immediately noticed that she was tensed. He asked concerningly, "Are you okay? Do you need to go to the washroom?"
Amelia had this bad habit of shuffling restlessly whenever she got anxious. She stopped her shuffles and explained, "No, I'm just being nervous."
"What are you nervous for? There's nothing to be nervous of." Kaiden looked confused as he asked.
Upon deliberating, Amelia thought that it would be easier if Kaiden could shoulder some of her frustration. She explained, "I'm worried that the upcoming dinner is nothing more but a mere token of appreciation for the fact that I had saved Abner. Do you think that this is his way of getting rid of me?"
Kaiden struggled to contain himself from blurting out the truth. In fact, he was driven by impulse to press on her shoulder and tell her what had been going on. Not only did his cousin had contacted Wayion to help her company, he had made Wayion into supplying Amelia with the construction
