Kaiden replied evasively the moment he realized that Amelia was about to chase him away, "I think I should go back to the room and get changing first."
Amelia narrowed her eyes as she swept a glance at the servants behind him.
Kaiden immediately got her message. He turned around to face the crowd before he said politely, "Excuse me, ladies. I need to get changed. It'd be better if all of you can step back in order to prevent any misunderstandings."
Amelia's darkened expression lightened a little after he heard what Kaiden had said. After all, she was the person in charge of this house at this moment. Hence, she was under the obligation to maintain the orders of the house.
The servants gave Kaiden a final look before they left the floor heavy-heartedly.
The moment Amelia turned around, she found herself meeting with Kaiden's gaze. He beamed and announced proudly, "All of them have already left!"
Amelia sneered, "Sure enough. They rather listen to
your words than mine!"
At that moment, Kaiden came close to her unnoticeably. He did not seem to bother the fact that Amelia had yet to shower. He began to flirt with her, "It doesn't matter if they only listen to me so long as I always listen to you! If you take me in, you can still retain full control of the house!"
Just before he could plant a kiss on her lips, Amelia gave him a forceful punch at his stomach without hesitation!
She could not help feeling satisfied at the sight of him drawing a deep breath in pain. She then warned him, "You're too close to me. And another thing, even if I don't take you in, I'm still the person in charge of this house!"
With both of of his hands covering his stomach, Kaiden furrowed although he forced himself to utter, "That feels good!"
D*mn it!
Amelia could feel the vein of her temple throbbing. She pointed a finger at the room and ordered, "Go get changed now! Hurry up!"
"Okay, okay..." Kaiden took over the stack of clothes from her hands despite being overwhelmed by frustration.
As he took a look at the stack of clothes, he commented, "Are you sure they are your dad's collection? The design appears to be youthful."
Amelia's gaze fell on the garments before she explained softly, "Yeah. My dad used to wear them when he was much younger. They may be old-fashioned but you can't deny the fact that they are made of fabric with premium quality."
Kaiden was moved by the tenderness in her eyes that he forgot to mess around with her all in a sudden. He carried the clothes with both of his hands as he said solemnly, "For real, I think I really should go and get changed now."
"Go! Now!" Amelia continued to stare at the garments in his hands softly as she replied. The fact that Amelia's tenderness was meant for the garments and not him did not stop him from his illusion.
Whenever he pictured that Amelia was staring at him the same way she stared at those garments, he could not help feeling drowned by her tenderness. In fact, he could barely recall how he found his way back to the guest room.
Amelia learnt her lesson this time. As soon as he entered the room, she immediately shut the door. This was to prevent any of the servants who might make up an excuse to return and cling on him.
After a long pause.
Amelia waited at the corridor outside of the room for Kaiden. All in a sudden, she heard him calling from inside, "I'm done changing..."
Amelia mumbled, "You should get out of the room yourself once you're done." Despite saying so, she came to the door and open it.
In the next second, Amelia was being dragged into the room before she could process what had happened. All she knew was that Kaiden had already threw himself on her and pressed her against the door.
With the help of the lightning in the room, Amelia squinted and finally came to realize that he was half-naked despite wearing a pair of pants. He was nowhere close to getting dressed.
Amelia's brows furrowed as she asked coldly with her expression darkened, "What the h*ll are you doing? Do you think it's fun to fool me this way?"
Kaiden burst out laughing as he replied, "No, I have never meant to fool you. It's your fault for being impatient."
"Huh?" Amelia was dumbfounded by his reply.
"I was about to tell you that I'm done changing my pants. How would I know that you're going to come in right away? If it were for other women, I will definitely turn them down. As for you, I don't mind to surrender myself to you..." Kaiden curled his lips crookedly as he strived to seduce her flirtatiously.
Amelia raised her voice as she rejected him mercilessly, "There's no need of this. Thank you!"
Kaiden shook his head in regret as he sighed, "Are you sure? I'm more than willing to give you my body."
Kaiden decided to make a fuss, "No way! I'm in pain!"
Amelia raised her voice mercilessly as she insisted, "I told you to put on your clothes! Now!"
Kaiden persisted stubbornly, "I told you that I'm in pain!"
Amelia was on the verge of a breakdown. She cried out, "What the h*ll do you want?"
Kaiden grumbled, "You have just injured the most important part of my body! The Wright Family relies on it to produce offspring. I don't care. You have to compensate for my loss!"
"Oh! Unfortunately I don't have anything of similar kind. I can't compensate you!"
"Then you're responsible to wake it up! You can try to use your hand or body or whatsoever..."
"Get lost!" Amelia rolled her eyes irritably at the sight of Kaiden who was lying on the bed, howling.
"I'm in pain. I can't move at all." With that said,
Kaiden could be seen huddling up on the bed like a mantis shrimp.
At first glance, she was nearly being tricked into believing that he was dealing with agonizing pain. However, his pretentious tone immediately exposed his lie!
The fact that he did not gain any advantage of her had left him with no other choice but to scam her!
Just as Amelia was stuck in a helpless position, it was at this time that Alice happened to come to the door. Amelia turned around and greeted, "Aunt Alice."
As soon as Alice walked into the room and swept a glance at the scene, she almost came to believe that Kaiden had been raped by Amelia. With her eyes widened in disbelief, she asked, "Amelia, what happened?"
Amelia's gaze followed Alice's before it fell onto Kaiden. All she could see was Kaiden being half-naked while lying on the bed. Most importantly, he was grunting in pain as he covered his private part. Amelia startled for a second before she hurriedly explained, "Aunt Alice, I can assure you that this is a misunderstanding. It's not what you've been thinking!"
