Amelia could not help glancing at Savannah. Finally after she tried to recall, Savannah's face actually reconciled with the anxious lady's at that time who was desperate to find her child.
However, she had not expected that Abner would have remembered her. After all, it had been some time since the incident last happened, not to mention the fact that the supermarket was crowded on that day.
She finally stood up from the sofa and squatted down right in front of Abner before she said, "I'm sorry that I'm such a forgetful person. So it seems like we have known each other long ago."
"Mm." Abner responded to Amelia softly.
In a trance, Savannah began to scrutinize Amelia's face. Suddenly it all made sense to her that why she would find Amelia familiar when she first saw her. In the end of the day, Amelia was the one in the supermarket.
"Actually, we've met each other more than once!" Smiling, Amelia added, "But I don't think you'll remember the second encounter."
She was referring to the last occasion when
Savannah had brought Abner to the hospital so that he could pay a visit to Ryan. However, at that time Abner had buried his head deep in Savannah's chest that Amelia did not think that he would have seen her.
It seemed like fate had always caught her by surprise.
She had offered help to Abner and Ryan before even if at that time she would not have foreseen that Sawyer would be the key person to determine the future of her company, let alone the fact that Abner was his only son. Since she had helped two of his family members by blood before, she began to convince that Sawyer was going to agree into investing Apex Construction Corporation as token of appreciation.
The man in the dark upstairs was all this while staring at the interaction between Amelia and Abner.
Confirming the fact that Amelia was someone special to Abner, Sawyer knew that it was time for him to show himself.
On the other hand, Amelia could not help asking, "Savannah, is this not a right time to meet Mr. Quartley?"
Savannah's eyes flickered as she replied, "Sir had just woke up. He would come down in a short while, Ms. Amelia."
"Oh, okay." Amelia knew that other than nodding understandingly, she could not press on this question any further.
Abner and Amelia had since then staring at each other in awkward silence. All in a sudden, Kaiden stood up from the sofa as his gaze fell on the person behind her. He respectfully greeted, "Hi, cousin!"
Amelia startled before she turned around to meet the person she had been waiting for. All she could see was an extraordinarily good-looking man walking towards her. In a trance, she was lost in her thought.
She had came across with numerous good-looking men in her life including Shawn and Kaiden who she could talk to without feeling butterflies in the stomach, not to mention that she was married to a captivating man who was capable of breaking millions of heart out there.
Hence, she was pretty confident that no any other men would be gorgeous enough to make her skip a beat in heart.
However, she was not so sure of this statement anymore as soon as she saw this man who was well-built. Amelia could tell that he preferred to be low-profiled judging from his black attire and dark hair. Anyone could tell that he was unapproachable and his eyes were distantly cold.
People like him were born to be the leaders. They were capable of making people afraid of them without having to say anything.
So, this man was Sawyer that she wanted to meet.
She began to doubt on words from Kaiden and Savannah.
After all, Sawyer did not seem to be welcoming, at least not to her.
Keeping all her grumbles to herself, Amelia stood up from the floor anyway.
Sawyer stopped by when he was approximately three feet away from her. Amelia could tell that his pace was sturdy and determined even if he was only wearing a pair of linen slippers.
When Sawyer stood right in front of her, towering, in a trance she thought that she was facing a stern soldier.
Amelia was afraid to deal with two kind of people.
One was those who always put on a grinning face. Dealing with this type of people would be a complete waste of time and energy as they would prefer to beat around the bushes than cut straight to the point.
