Chapter 880
Chapter 880
Plastering a smile on her face, Amelia explained to everyone, "Please listen to me. Actually Kaiden and I are not in a relationship. So, it is impossible for me to carry his child. I'm sorry to have caused the misunderstanding of everyone due to my joke!"
With that said, she threw a glance at Kaiden hoping that he was going to say something too.
Noticing that Amelia was looking for help from her, Kaiden snorted before he said, "It's true, everybody. How is it possible for me to ever fall for a married woman who is plain and old- fashioned?!"
Kaiden's evaluation on Amelia had sent her into silence. Other than the fact that she was indeed married, she refused to agree with other descriptions of her.
Savannah and Simon were both stunned as they exclaimed, "Ms. Ramsay is married?"
Feeling ashamed, Amelia answered, "Yes."
There was a trace of regret flashing across Savannah's face. Thinking that Amelia and Kaiden were in a relationship, all this while she thought that she might make use of Amelia's help with Abner. Since this was all a misunderstanding, this request would be so much harder.
Awkwardness filled in the air of the dining table as they were having dinner. As time passed, Amelia could feel the numbness on her laps because of Abner's weight. He had said nothing so far, which made Amelia feeling dejected.
After washing her hands, Savannah returned to the table to carry Abner just to find out that he had already fallen asleep in Amelia's arms.
Again, Savannah was astonished by this view. Abner had never in his life been close to any strangers. She could not help wondering if this was all because Amelia had donated blood for him
before.
Speaking of blood donation, putting aside the fact that both of them shared the same blood type, the unique bond between Abner and Amelia alone was enough for Savannah to suspect that Amelia might be Abner's biological mother!
Savannah could not help thinking this way. Back then, Sawyer returned to Quartley Family with a baby in a pouring rain night and told Ryan that it was Sawyer's son.
Ryan struggled to believe his words until he received the official health report of Abner. Other than the fact that he was born with a specific illness, his blood type successfully caught everyone's
attention.
Abner shared the same rare blood type of Quartley Family. Eventually, Ryan accepted Abner's identity as part of The Quartley Family.
But it was an unsolved mystery until this time regarding the identity of Abner's biological mother.
In the past, Abner had never developed such a bond with any young women to the extent that he could trust them completely. He had never shown interest towards the two female home tutors who had been teaching him for one year.
Amelia was the very exception for Abner.
Savannah's suspicions arose as she stared at Amelia. There was no doubt that she had been reaching the age of maturity that would allow her to be capable of getting pregnant. Considering the fact that Sawyer had been looking after her on the dining table, her wild guess was not entirely impossible.
Losing in her own thought, even Savannah herself had not realized that her gaze at Amelia began to intensify with mixed emotions.
If it was true that Amelia was Abner's biological mother and Sawyer's lover, then she was certainly unforgivable for abandoning her husband and son.
Amelia was still bearing Abner's weight on her laps without any slightest move. Seeing that Sawyer and
Kaiden were almost finishing their meal, she could not help feeling her stomach churned in hunger.
Right at this time, Savannah walked towards her and said distantly, "Ms. Ramsay, let me carry Abner. You've not eaten yet."
Amelia hurriedly nodded, "Thank you!"
Just as she was about to hand over the small kid to his nanny, Abner unconsciously rubbed his face against her chest and murmured, "Mommy."
"Aww! He's so adorable!" Amelia thought.
Even if Amelia knew that Abner was not actually calling her, she could feel that somewhere in her heart was growing fond for him. She could not help reaching out to gently strike his soft hair before handing him to Savannah.
Carrying Abner from Amelia, Savannah took the chance to study Amelia's features. Upon closer inspection, she was surprised to find out that they were somehow similar with Abner's! Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
The longer she stared, the more convinced she was that her guess was right on the point!
To put it accurately, Savannah was brainwashed by her own self.
Since she had already made an assumption that Amelia was Abner's biological mother, then her brain would automatically be convinced that the two of
them looked alike.
Despite his expression indifferent, Sawyer was all this while paying close attention to everyone on the dining table. Right at this time, he said, "Savannah, take Abner back to his room to rest."
Coming back from her senses, Savannah looked at Sawyer instead of staring at Amelia before she said, "Yes, sir. Please enjoy your meal."
After Savannah left with Abner sleeping in her arms, Amelia heaved a sigh of relief secretly.
She reached out to pinch her numbed legs with her expression confused. Among all these people, Savannah was the one who had been staring at her with such an intense gaze. Most importantly, Amelia had noticed that Savannah's gaze at her had turned cold at one point in time.
At first, she thought that Savannah was unsatisfied with the way she handling Abner. But such possibility made no sense at all.
Savannah could have carried Abner away from her the very instance when she felt that Abner was not been properly taken care of. If this was the case, there was no reason for Savannah to leave Abner on her laps until the end.
Amelia's puzzlement remained unsolved.
It seemed to her that everyone in The Quartley Family including Kaiden was acting strange.
Taking Kaiden as example, one moment ago he warned her into staying away from Sawyer but assured her that he was a good person at the next moment.
There was no need to even bring Sawyer into discussion. After all, she still struggled to recover from the psychological impact that had caused by the monkey incident.
Later, Savannah had been sizing her up all the time with her startlingly strange gaze, Amelia was at the verge of going mad if she were to spend any longer in this horrible place.
Followingly, she filled her stomach in a hurry before she communicated her intention to leave to Sawyer.
Leaning against the back of the chair, Sawyer spoke with due elegance, "I look forward to our next meeting, Ms. Ramsay."
"Does that mean he had agreed to let me leave?" Amelia wondered.
Putting down the napkin right away, she elbowed Kaiden who was sitting next to her as she stood up. She then said, "Well have to go now. There's no need to send us off. Goodbye, Mr. Quartley."
Smiling, Sawyer turned around to look at Kaiden and
said, "Take care of Ms. Ramsay."
Midnight at Land of Fragrance.
Kaiden had already parked his car by the road. He turned to look at Amelia just to see that she was taking down her phone from her ear with her face worryingly disappointed.
He could not help teasing her, "Are you contacting your man again? So what is this time about? You want to ask if he had his supper, am I right?"
Keeping her phone, Amelia swept a glance at Kaiden. Patrick had refused to answer her call no matter how many times she dialed his number. Sulking, she fired back at Kaiden, "Mr. Wright, who
are you to control me?"
Kaiden squinted at her. Although each of her features alone was delicate, none of them was striking. It was the combination of them on her face that had rendered her stunningly beautiful while seemingly harmless. He wondered how alluringly gorgeous she could be when she fell in love.
