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.
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.
