Chapter 860


    If possible, he wanted to change his ce with Amelia but since Amelia said nothing about it, he


    had no choice but to keep quiet about it too.


    In the dark, he kept staring daggers at his own brother but it was all blocked by Amelia who was


    sitting in between them.


    She could not help but feel hesitant. She wondered why was Patrick constantly staring at her. Did


    she do something wrong?


    Among the five of them, Owen was the most rxing one, after sitting right next to Amelia, he told


    Huxton and Scarlett to get a seat too.


    Scarlett looked at Huxton subconsciously, while Huxton looked at Patrick subconsciously.


    Patrick felt guilty as Huxton kept his gaze on him. So, he immediately nodded his head and signal


    them to get a seat.


    Upon receiving his master''s approval, Huxton''s face lit up with joy. He took Scarlett''s hand and sat


    down right next to Patrick.


    Owen said, "I gathered all of you to Patrick''s ce today because there''s great news that I wanted


    to announce."


    At this moment, Amelia was filled with curiosity. What could the news be?


    Although Owen mentioned ''all of them'' but in fact, only Amelia was kept in the dark. Owen smiled


    and said to her, "Amelia, Huxton and Scarlett are getting married next month."


    Next month?


    Amelia was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that the month was alreadying to an


    end.


    "Is this true?" She was both shocked and happy. She looked at both of them surprisingly and was


    waiting to receive affirmation from both of them.


    Scarlett shyly lowered her eyes and signalled Huxton to answer the question.


    Huxton looked back at Amelia and gave a simple answer, "It''s true!"


    "Great!" Amelia was genuinely happy for them. If it were not for the fact she was stuck between The


    Hopper Family brothers, she would jump up in joy.


    Just as Amelia was overjoyed, Huxton received the signal from the brothers of The Hopper Family.


    He then helplessly said to Amelia, "Madam, after I get married, I may..."


    Out of a sudden, Amelia pped the arm of the sofa heavily and interrupted Huxton. "After you get


    married, you and Scarlett can move in together! Anyway, the Land of Fragrance is so big we have


    more rooms than needed. We can amodate so many guards, how big of a problem could it be


    for you two to fit it?"


    Everyone was speechless.


    Fluxton was touched but he had to ept the reality. "Madam, we appreciate your kindness..."


    Amelia interrupted again, "Since I couldn''t get pregnant, I''ve invited Dr. Scarlett to stay here and


    help me to take care of my body. Back then, I pitied her because she had to travel back and forth


    every day. Right now, since she''s your wife, she can stay in the Land of Fragrance without needing


    any reason.


    I think... It will take at least a year for me to get pregnant. That means Scarlett needs to be taking


    care of me for at least one year. If Scarlett got pregnant during this period, wouldn''t you feel pity for


    her that she has toe here every day just to check up on me or make me a meal?"


    "I..." Fluxton was dumbfounded.


    "What do you think, Owen?" Amelia did not give Fluxton any chance to voice his opinion.


    Owen immediately choked on himself. Amelia was being sneaky, she ignored Patrick and asked for


    his advice instead.


    Patrick narrowed his eyes and said gloomily, "Dr. Jagger, you can only get pregnant after my baby


    was born!"


    Amelia nced at him and said, "Are you saying that Dr. Jagger and Huxton would have to take


    safety measure because of our sake?"


    Patrick then said, "They are still very young." But what he meant was since they are still young,


    getting pregnant a year or twoter would not do much harm to their body at all.


    Such a selfish way of thinking made Amelia angry. "What if I never got pregnant my whole life?"


    Patrick was immediately triggered by what she said. "Amelia, don''t make such an absurd


    assumption!"


    "Patrick!" Owen stopped him in time before the situation got out of control.


    Of course, he only had to stop one person.


    Amelia turned his face and asked Owen as calmly as possible, "Owen, you''re the eldest in our


    family. I want you to be the judge here. Tell us, if I ask Huxton and Dr. Jagger to stay here, take care


    of me, and provide her service to me and my future child, would it be much more convenient for


    her? Am I going too far?"


    Owen sighed and said. "Well, you aren''t going too far."


    Amelia nodded. "Then it''s settled then."


    What did Amelia mean by ''it''s settled then''? Patrick had not even agreed to it yet!


    Patrick held back the urge to strangle Amelia.


    However, Amelia just ignored Patrick all the way. "Huxton, Scarlett, what do you think?"


    Scarlett pouted her red lips and said, "I... I''ll follow him and agree to his decision."


    As a result, Amelia looked at Huxton. "Huxton, what do you think?"


    Out of the corner of his eye, Huxton caught a glimpse of his master''s deadly expression. What could


    he say? What would he dare to say?


    The subject of the conversation was in a deadlock.


    At first, Rick had fallen asleep after being patted by Amelia. But at this moment, as the discussion


    got heated up, Rick was woken from his dream and he barked.


    It rolled its big eyes and focused on Huxton who had a helpless expression on his face.


    After being stunned for a while, Rick looked at Huxton happily and walked towards Huxton. Rick


    stay by his feet and rolled over on the ground. He then shows his belly and kicked his limbs in the


    air.


    Huxton patted Rick''s belly lightly and asked, "Have


    you not eaten yet Rick?"


    No one answered the question.


    However, Amelia knew very well that Huxton knew all about Rick''s habits. Since she took over the


    Apex Construction Corporation, Huxton was basically in charge of Rick''s meals.


    Since Huxton said that Rick had not eaten yet then Rick must be empty-bellied.


    She turned to Patrick and said, "You see, even Rick can''t live without Huxton."


    Then let him just sent Rick away. He had been annoyed with Rick for a long time too. Patrick


    sneered.


    Owen said, "I think what Amelia said make sense."


    Patrick''s handsome face was covered with gloom. His brother had promised him that he would


    persuade Amelia to let Huxton and Scarlett pursue their own life!


    Would this b*stard remember whose side should he be vouching for!


    As Amelia was smiling happily, Owen changed the subject and said, "However, since Huxton is


    about to get married, he can''t stay here like how he did before. He and Scarlett need a ''nest'' that


    belongs to them. New lovebirds would always want to be close to each other, won''t they? It will be


    so embarrassing for them if they were seen by others in that situation. Am I right, Amelia?"


    Amelia thought about the scenario and said honestly, "It sure would be a little embarrassing."


    "Not just a little. It''s very embarrassing!" Patrick added with a serious expression.


    The crowd pouted their lips and thought, "You''re the one who''s least qualified to say that!"Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
