Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 879

Acknowledging his invitation, Amelia straightened her dress before she sat right next to him. This would mean that Sawyer was just sitting opposite of her.

Seeing this, Sawyer raised his brow unnoticeably. There were empty seats on both of his right and left hands yet Amelia had chosen to sit right next to his cousin.

He wondered if this was her trick to keep him wanted while not letting go of Kaiden.

"Ms. Amelia." He abruptly stood up from his seat with his hand holding a wine glass. He then toasted a drink at Amelia, "I would like to express my gratitude through this meal. I hope you enjoy yourself."

Simon had already filled her glass when Sawyer was speaking.

As soon as Sawyer finished his words, Simon diligently brought the glass of wine to Amelia and whispered, "Ms. Ramsay, the alcohol content of this wine is low. It's not a strong liquor."

Feeling relieved, she took the glass from Simon and replied, "Thank you."

Simon smiled at her before he walked towards Kaiden and subsequently filled his glass.

Amelia knew that it was time to express her gratitude in return. Picking up the glass, she toasted the glass back at Sawyer, "You're too humble, Mr. Quartley. It is a scrumptious meal today. I'm more than honored."

She mentioned nothing of the incident of the monkey's brain. Seeing that there was not even a hint of fear in her eyes but a seemingly sincere smile, Sawyer could not help pursing his lips.

Had he not witnessed how she ran out from the house by himself, he would probably think that she had not seen the dish of monkey's brain.

"It's my pleasure." With that said, Sawyer raised his wine glass along with Amelia and Kaiden who were both standing up to drink with him.

Each of them emptied their respective glasses with unspoken thoughts in their mind. All of a sudden, Sawyer glanced at Simon and said, "Go and bring Abner down. He can have dinner with us."

When Abner was brought to the table by Savannah, Amelia took a glance at him. She wondered if Sawyer's behavior had frightened Abner when he was small which was why he had acted like an introvert.

She could not imagine what impact would it leave to a small kid like Abner if he ever saw the dead monkey being served on the dining table.

In the midst of thought, Savannah had already settled Abner down on his seat.

To her surprise, Savannah had let Abner sitting next to her.

Startling, Amelia took a glance at Savannah just to make sure that she had not arranged Abner's seat by mistake. After all, she expected Abner was to be seated next to his father.

Savannah was an observant servant. Upon noticing that Amelia was confused, she hurriedly asked, "Ms. Ramsay, you're not used to communicating with kids, are you?"

Amelia raised her eyebrows immediately. She could not have acted as if she was not used to dealing with kids, not when Sawyer had just assigned her with the task of helping Abner.

"No, it's not like this. I'm just thinking what does Abner usually like when it comes to food."

Her words had immediately drawn Abner's attention. He reached out his hand so that he could point his finger at the dishes he liked. However, every dish was placed proximately next to others. She

could not tell that which dishes were he pointing at.

Unfortunately, Abner's father was on the same table staring. Amelia knew that she had to solve this communication problem on her own.

She looked at Abner and asked softly, "Tell me, Abner. What do you want to eat?"

Abner again pointed at several dishes of his favorite without saying it out loud.

With great patience, Amelia gave another few attempts but Abner would not speak his mind anyway.

"Ms. Ramsay?" Sawyer called out her name at this time.

Amelia broke into a cold sweat in an instant. To have Sawyer called her at this time would only suggest that he had cast doubt on her ability to fulfill her promise to him.

Only heaven knew that Abner had talked to her when she first arrived here. It was a waste that Sawyer had not seen it by himself.

Glancing at Sawyer, before she could explain herself, he said, "Savannah can take care of Abner. You can enjoy your meal, Ms. Ramsay."

Amelia had to admit that his words were very comforting at this time. Just as she was about to nod in reply, Abner reached out his hand to touch her lap.

Savannah was completely stunned. She could not help exclaiming, "Ms. Ramsay, Abner is asking you to hug him!"

"What?" Amelia glanced at Savannah in disbelief. She wished that she could tell from Savannah's face that she was just kidding.

But Savannah sounded earnest when she explained, "I've been taking care of Abner for many years, hence I know what he is trying to say with every move. Ms. Ramsay, may I ask you a favor? Can you try to hug him?"

Amelia took a peek at Abner. However, he had not moved since then after he touched her lap.

He was sitting still on his chair. She could not see his eyes as his lashes were trembling.

His delicate nose was faintly red. It was probably because he had been sneezing all the time.

However, this had not made him look funny. Instead, he looked so pitiful that Amelia wished that she was willing to do anything for him.

When Abner was not blinking, Amelia almost thought that he was a delicate porcelain doll.

Amelia had to admit that he was an extraordinarily beautiful kid. Having in mind the agreement she had reached with Sawyer, it was almost impossible for her to turn Savannah down.

She kept reminding herself that Abner was fragile and that she had to be extremely careful when she hugged him.

When she held her hand to hug Abner, Sawyer's expression changed unnoticeably. The tiny spark of excitement might lead one to mistake that a crooked smile had just crept onto his face.

Savannah on the other hand was overly excited as if she had just witnessed a miracle!

As for Kaiden, he did not know how to feel for this. In fact, he was thinking whether the fact that Abner favored Amelia was a disaster for her or not.

He could not help sneaking a glance at Sawyer. All he could see was that Sawyer was sitting on his chair with his face expressionless as usual. He did not seem moved by this scene.

If this was the case, then Kaiden could find himself feeling a little relieved. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Carrying Abner to her laps, Amelia was stuck in a situation where she could not pick up any dishes with both of her hands engaged.

Fortunately, Savannah had volunteered to help, "I know all his favorite food. Ms. Amelia, feel free to tell me what you'd like to eat. I can pick up the dishes for both of you."

Smiling, Amelia said, "Don't mind me. I'd like to make

sure Abner have his meal first."

Her words were not a mere figure of speech. After all, she had not recovered from the shock of the dead monkey. In addition, she was not used to being served by other people during meal time.

Hearing this, Savannah looked at Amelia approvingly, "Ms. Ramsay, you're such a thoughtful person! Even as a servant, I'm glad that Mr. Wright can have someone like you as his love."

Her one sentence had immediately sent everyone on the table into pin-drop silence.

Still carrying Abner on her laps, Amelia could feel her arms stiffened. She hurriedly said, "Savannah, actually you've misunderstood."

It was at this moment when Sawyer began to speak with his tone sounded indifferent, "Oh, so Ms. Ramsay is in fact Kaiden's love."

The corner of Amelia's mouth twitched. She wondered if Sawyer was trying to make fun of her in front of everyone. After all, he clearly knew that she was Patrick's wife!

She tried to convince herself that he was just showing her his dark humor.
