Just as Amelia leaning against the railings of the corridor on the second floor, thinking about Ryan's abnormality...
An aged voice sounded nearby her. "Ms. Ramsay, why are you standing here?"
After regaining her thoughts, Amelia turned her head and saw that the person who asked the question was Simon. She could not help but feel awkward as if she was caught by her boss while she was slacking off.
She forced a smile and said, "Simon, Abner is playing tangram in the room. I... I'm taking some time out to get some fresh air."
Hearing the uneasiness in Amelia's voice, Simon said with more panicky, "Don't worry, Ms. Ramsay. I don't mean to question you. I just saw you leaning here alone in a daze. I'm afraid that's not safe, so I come over to remind you."
Amelia thought that Simon was over worried. After all, there was a child here, and the protective measures in the corridor should be good.
But on second thought, she realized that Simon was doing this out of kindness.
She smiled back gratefully and said, "I see. I shall go back to Abner's room."
When Amelia returned to the room, she saw Abner was holding a red tangram in his hand. He lowered his head and looked at the lost pieces in the frame, lost in thought.
Amelia looked at him quietly.
As time went on, the expression on Abner's face became impatience. Only then Amelia opened her mouth and said, "Try to put the red tangram in your hand below the yellow one."
Abner followed her orders. The tangram was perfectly embedded in the frame as soon as he put the red tangram on.
Abner's tightened mouth raised slightly, and he tilted his head to look at Amelia. He asked inconceivably, "Why are you...so good at it?"
Amelia winked at him and said, "Of course I am good at it! Because I have read the structure diagram beforehand."
Abner was speechless.
Amelia realized something in the next second. She pointed at Abner's nose and said affirmatively, "Look what I've found? You're cursing me!"
"I'm not!" Abner retorted quickly.
Amelia laughed, and her finger turned around on his face, "But I clearly saw the word 'shameless' from your face. What else is it if you're not cursing me?"
As she spoke, she purposely narrowed her eyes slightly to put on a fierce look.
Abner swallowed a mouthful of saliva secretly and pouted. He said childishly, "I said no...means no."
Amelia put down her hand and pretended to be disappointed and sighed. "I thought you are a real man and dare to take responsibility for what you have done. I didn't expect you to be so spineless. You even dare not say what you want in your heart."
"Who said that!" Abner spoke faster when he was angry. "I just think that you were cheating when you studied the structure diagram beforehand! Yet I admired you so much at that moment!"
"Abner!" Amelia could not help but look at him in surprise. "Aren't you able to speak in a smooth manner?"
Abner was stunned.
Seeing that he could not come to his senses for a long time, Amelia could not help but guess, "Abner, have you ever tried to talk to someone like that?"
Abner was still in a state of shock.
Amelia inevitably pulled his shoulders, looking straight into his eyes, and guided him to speak, "Can
you say a few words to me? Just a few words!"
Abner stared at her in a daze.
Amelia licked her lips anxiously. "I'll be fine even if you scold me!"
Some of them? Was he referring to the servants of the Quartley family?
"What did they say?" Amelia asked in a low voice. Her simple words revealed that she was on the brink of a storm.
Abner muttered, "They said...I'm your...child." "Nonsense!" The tone of Amelia's voice was so loud that it frightened Abner.
However, what she saw from Abner's face was not shock but disappointment!
This meant that her denial had hurt him!
Amelia felt deeply helpless. "Abner, do you also believe what they said and think that I am your mother!?"
Abner hesitated for a moment before he uttered an inaudible word in his mouth as an agreement.
In that split second, a thought flashed through Amelia's mind!
That was to let the son of the enemy call her 'mother'. When the time came, Sissi's expression would definitely be marvelous!
"Using Abner to make Sissi feel painful should be pleasant!" Amelia thought to herself.
However, as soon as this idea came up in her mind, she was so scared that she break out in a cold sweat.
Since when had her become so vicious?
Out of the corner of her eye, when Amelia caught sight of Abner's innocent and lovely little face, she shivered and hurriedly got up from the ground with the excuse of going out to the toilet.
Just as she turned around, there was a knock on the door.
Amelia quickly sorted out her emotions and opened the door.
