The corner of her mouth twitched. Amelia wondered if Sawyer had expected her to borrow a helicopter from Patrick.
Pausing, Sawyer added, "However, taking into consideration of your situation, it would be unacceptable for me to not make an exception for you. If it is possible, I hope that you can come over here during every weekend."
It seemed that they had reached an agreement.
Followingly, Simon was being ordered by Sawyer to bring her for a tour around the island. This was to prevent her from getting lost in future. However, Amelia was still trying to digest what she had just signed up for.
"Ms. Ramsay, please watch your steps." Seeing that Amelia was going to trip over the stones on the ground, Simon hurriedly reminded her.
Hearing this, Amelia immediately looked down to avoid the warned danger. She then asked, "Simon, do you know where had Kaiden been to?"
Simon replied, "I don't really know Mr. Wright's whereabout now. But one thing that I'm certain is that he had not left the island. You don't have to worry, Ms. Ramsay."
Combing her messy hair with her hand, Amelia could not help feeling a little relieved. Had Kaiden ran away without her, she had no idea who was going to send her back.
Slowing down his pace, Simon abruptly said, "Ms. Ramsay, please don't get offended for what I'm going to say. Now that you're pregnant, it would be wise for you to not argue with Mr. Wright. After all, you don't want any unfortunate to happen to your child. I know his temper well. He always cares about how others think of him, that's why since young, he has always been such a gentleman and well-behaved. The fact that you had just compared him with a rat, this is so much worse than taking his life."
Amelia felt that she was obliged to clarify something, "Simon, I..."
"Amelia!" It was also right at this time that a familiar voice came in between the two of them.
She turned around just to see that Kaiden was running towards her while the wind gently breaking through his neatly short hair. He had his sleeves rolled up and that he was carrying a plastic pail which Amelia could not tell what was inside.
In the blink of an eye, he had came to the front of them. Seeing that he was overwhelmed with excitement, Amelia was convinced that he was not going to throw a tantrum at her. She could not help sighing in relief.
She greeted him on a cheerful tone, "You left in such a hurry. Where have you been?"
Kaiden replied grinningly, "I've just fed the crocodiles."
His reply had sent her into silence. It was not that she had doubted his words. After all, she knew that Sawyer had been keeping leopards and wild bears on this land.
She was more convinced that Sawyer was not someone who could be gotten along easily after hearing this. On her mind, Kaiden would rather come out to feed crocodiles than to stay and face Sawyer with her. In fact, she had never thought that her behavior itself had already casted doubt on her trustworthiness.
Her gaze was soon attracted by the pail that he was carrying. She asked curiously, "What's inside the pail?"
Kaiden brought the pail forward so that Amelia could take a closer look on it. She could not help frowning as soon as she smelled the pungent smell coming from the pail.
Pulling herself together, she took a glance at the pail. All she could see were fresh meat cutlets covered in blood. Then it made sense to her why did the pail stink.
Kaiden explained, "These are all fresh beef. I'm on my way to feed them again. Do you want to come with me?"
So, Kaiden was just happened to bump into her.
Amelia showed no interest in feeding wild beasts at close distance, "I rather don't go."
Kaiden insisted enthusiastically, "It's still too early for dinner. Come on!"
His persistence had left her with no choices. Although Kaiden was gifted with such a cute face, after all he was a man whose brave and fearless in character. While she was still thinking of rejecting him, Kaiden spoke again, "Don't worry, I'll protect you."
Even Kaiden himself could tell that he had sounded so wrong with what he had just said. With his face expressionless, he added, "Don't get me wrong. Today you're the guest of my cousin. I'm obliged to ensure your safety."
Upon hearing this, Amelia smiled, "Don't worry. I won't take this as a sign of you concerning me."
