Chapter 872
Amelia could not help ncing at Savannah. Finally after she tried to recall, Savannah''s face
actually reconciled with the anxiousdy''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 incidentst 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 thest asion 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 herpany, 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 woulde 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 ck 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 weing, 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.
There was another type of people who were always serious. She could never tell what was on their
mind, not until they finally spoke.
Amelia''s gut told her that Sawyer would be thetter one.
Puffing her chest, she finally found her courage to reach out her hand to Sawyer. She greeted
smilingly, "He...Hello, Mr. Quartley! It''s my pleasure to meet you!"
At the same time, Kaiden had already came next to Amelia.
After all, he was the one that introduced her here. He would be embarrassed as well in the event if
she made a fool of herself in front of his cousin.
Sawyer lowered his gaze to the hand she reached out to him. He could tell that her hand was
trembling. Honestly speaking, the person right in front of him waspletely different from the
fearless woman he met the other night at the ball.

Under the pressure of Sawyer''s silence upon sizing her up, Amelia could not help feeling more
nervous.
Right this moment, all she wanted was a response from Sawyer. She would not mind if he chose to
shove her hand away. Any response would be better than him staring at her in silence!
From the corner of her eyes, Amelia had noticed that Kaiden had already came to her side with his
expression serious. All in a sudden, she recalled his warning to her before that his cousin and him
shared one simrity. Both of them had phobia in dealing with women. Hence, he once reminded
her to keep a certain distance from his cousin.
It all made sense to her why Sawyer would not shake her hand at this moment. After all, her gender
as a female disgusted him!
Thinking of this, Amelia put down her hand. But it was also right at this time, Sawyer had already
lifted his arm.
As a result, Sawyer''s hand was left unshaken in the air awkwardly.
Kaiden''s eyes widened in shock upon witnessing this scene.
Even Amelia looked confused.
After all, Sawyer was a drug dealer who probably was experienced in dealing with all kind of
situations. He merely withdrew his hand to the back expressionlessly after Amelia seemingly made
a fool of him. Sawyer silently clenched his fist when no one noticed it.
The color of Kaiden''s face changed. He first nced at Sawyer apologetically before he dragged
Amelia to the corner. Seeing that Amelia was still unaware of the mess she created, Kaiden was
infuriated, "What the hell are you doing?!"
Kaiden could forgive the prank that she pulled on him during normal days but he would never
expect her to even make a fool of his cousin. She had not aware that her action might cost her life!
"Huh?" With her expression puzzled, Amelia asked in confusion, "What''s wrong? What happened?"
Kaiden''s expression darkened when he questioned her, "Why did you put your hand down?"
Amelia scratched her head sheepishly, "You''re the one told me that your cousin doesn''t like to have
close contact with women."
Her words struck him as if he was going to have a heart attack.
Amelia was slow to process the situation. She said, "It was my fault. I should have thought of your
warning earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have raised my hands. Now I hope that your cousin won''t
mind."
"It''s toote. Not only that my cousin definitely minds, he is probably now holding grudge against
you!" Kaiden thought.
Amelia rubbed her hands sheepishly. She tried to tter him, "Didn''t you tell me that you''re his
favorite cousin? Please help me this time."
"Sorry, this time I can''t help you." Kaiden said to himself secretly.
When Amelia nced at him, Kaiden seemed lost in his own thought. She wondered if he had
actually listened to her all this while. She asked impatiently, "Kaiden, you idiot! Are you
daydreaming?"
"You''re such an idiot, Amelia! You''re the most idiotic person I''ve ever seen!
Why would you believe entirely whatever one told you? Aren''t you aware of danger that people
might simply cheat you?" Kaiden scolded in frustration secretly.
