Chapter 509 More Than That
The candlelight dinner slowly came to an end with the ying of the cello…
When Amelia got up, the cool wind ruffled her short, messy hair, blocking her sight.
After James reached out to straighten her hair, he picked up his suit jacket and wrapped it around her
body.
Then, he took her hand again and led her downstairs. “Amelia, there’s a musical. Do you…”
He lowered his head to look at Amelia beside him and saw that she was looking at the Capitol building
in the distance. He stopped talking.
He jutted his chin toward the bodyguard behind him, who immediately understood what he meant. The
bodyguard quickly walked towards the Whi te House.
“Amelia, let’s go to the Capitol building,” he suggested.

Amelia came back to her senses and shook her head. “No. You nned for us to go to a musical, so
let’s go.”
It was just that she had heard Neil mention that the Capitol was inspired by the architecture from
ancient Greece and ancient Rome, which was why she couldn’t help but stare at it.

She didn’t expect James to take her to the Capitol building just because she kept ncing at it. He was
being a bit too considerate of her feelings.
James didn’t say much and simply led her toward the Capitol building.
Amelia thought they were just going to look from the outside, but he took her inside.
Tourists were allowed to visit the Capitol building, but a reservation had to be made. On top of that, it
wasn’t open at night.

However, all James had to do was show his ID for the security guard to respectfully let them in.
Amelia was shocked. However, what shocked her more was that…
After they entered, a group of people in suits and ties bowed down and greeted him.
“Sir.”
In their home country, everyone called him Mr. Evans. Abroad, however, they called him Sir.
At first, she thought it was just an honorific title, but right then, she had a vague feeling that the title
represented something.

Amelia couldn’t figure it out. Despite that, she felt he was more than just the person in charge of the
Evans family.
After staring at James for a while, she forced herself to look
away and stop thinking about it. Instead, she would focus on touring the interior of the building.
They held hands like a couple. After visiting the Capitol building, they went to several otherndmarks.
Such as the Wh ite House, the Washington monument, and the central garden they saw earlier. They
visited them all, and James held her hand the whole time.
wasn’t until she was tired from walking that her pace slowed down and James let go of her hand. He
squatted down in front of her with his tall and straight body.
“Get on, Amelia.”
Amelia looked at the broad-shouldered man, feeling a little dazed. “You…”
James turned his head slightly and gently asked, “You want me to carry you, don’t you?”
There were pedestrians all around. How could she have the nerve to let him carry her?
After hesitating for a few seconds, Amelia crouched down and got on his back.

The man under her smirked and easily lifted her up.

He gave her a piggyback as if he was carrying a whole lifetime’s worth of happiness and walked slowly
under the streetmps.
Amelia stared at his defined side profile for a few seconds, then raised her hand and wrapped it around
his neck.
“James…”
“Hm?”
He was carrying her on his back while walking on the streets of Washington. His side profile was
slightly angled toward her as he looked at Amelia who took the initiative to hug him.
Amelia buried her head in the back of his slender neck, smelling the light cedar fragrance from his thick
hair, and muttered, “You never brought me out in the past. This is the first time…”
Her words caused him to stop suddenly. Intense pain began to quietly condense in his heart once
again.
He felt very distressed and extremely guilty, and apologized to her. “Amelia, I’m sorry.”
He was the one at fault for those five years. It was because he didn’t know how to cherish her, and he
made her waste five years of her time.
He subconsciously hugged the woman on his back tightly, using all of his strength as if he had the
whole world in his embrace.

“Amelia, I will make it up to you for the rest of my life. Just wait for me.”
Amelia fell silent after hearing that. She did not reply to his
words and simply leaned on his back while looking at the sky full of stars.
Those stars seem to be illuminating the way forward for them, leading them in the direction of
happiness.
