As soon as Sawyer finished speaking, Abner, who was in Amelia's arms, tugged on her clothes with his hand and said expectantly, "Amelia... stay..."
Sissi almost went crazy when she saw this scene. She could no longer control herself to reach her hand out and wanted to pull Abner away from Amelia.
However, in the next second, Sawyer opened his mouth and said, "Sissi, there are still a few more dishes in the kitchen that haven't been brought out yet. Can you take them with me?
There was no maid in this villa, so they had to do everything by themselves. Sissi could only nod and leave temporarily.
Amelia finally let out a sigh of relief. She gently took Abner out of her arms and said earnestly, "Abner, you shouldn't be so dependent on me."
"Why?" Abner asked anxiously.
Amelia did not say it was because of Sissi. "Because in my eyes, you're a little adult."
"I'm still so young. I'm not... an adult." Abner knew that for a fact.
Amelia brushed the tip of his nose with amusement and said, "Anyway, I'm here to talk about business with your father and also to say goodbye to you."
She had thought it over. It was better to explain as soon as possible to avoid Abner from relying on her, or she would be in trouble.
"Goodbye?" Abner's dull expression became terrified in an instant. He was seldomly this expressive, which made Amelia even guiltier.
"Abner, I'm not a member of the Quartley family, nor a friend of your parents, so I can't be with you all the time..."
"But you're... my friend!" Abner interrupted angrily. Then he pleaded, "Can't you... just be... my friend?"
Abner's words were slightly confusing, but Amelia understood. "Abner, I can't tell you why I can't. I'm so sorry..."
"I don't want... your... apology!" Abner's chest was heaving, and his face paled. He
was indeed Sawyer's son, and his temper was quite frightening.
Amelia looked at him while her head pounded. This child did not even cry when he fell down the stairs, but his eyes were getting red. If Sawyer saw this, would he chop her into pieces and feed her to the crocodiles?
At the same time, Wayne and Richard who had overheard the conversation between Amelia and Abner, both looked terrified.
Wayne muttered in disbelief, 'Aber is Sawyer and Sissi's son?"
Dai Run answered faintly, "After listening to their conversation, I think you're right."
Wayne reached out and touched his chin. "Do you think Patrick knows about this?"
"I don't think so." Richard was not sure.
Wayne then questioned, "When did Sissi get pregnant? How could she be pregnant without anyone noticing?"
Richard thought for a moment, and his speculations were close to the truth. "Didn't Sissi get married overseas after she and Patrick separated? It was likely that she was pregnant with Abner during that time."
Wayne showed a look of epiphany. "Alas, I pity her ex-husband for not knowing she was cheating on him..."
At this moment, Richard said, "Shh, let's stop talking. Sawyer and Sissi are back" "Ms. Amelia, sorry to keep you waiting." Sawyer returned with steaming dishes in each of his hands, strutting towards Amelia.
Sissi was beside Sawyer with a plate of fruits. Putting aside any prejudice, they were a rare couple of an attractive man and woman. They were a perfect match when they stood side by side together.
How could he trust Amelia with just a simple explanation?
Facing Sissi's doubts, Sawyer replied faintly, "Sissi, bring Abner over here for dinner."
Sissi clenched her teeth, but what could she do? Could she roar and lose her temper on the spot so that Amelia could get a good laugh at her?
At that moment, she took a deep breath.
Then, she turned and beckoned with a smile, "Abner, if you don't come to Mom, Dad will get angry."
Sissi did not want to pressure Abner with Sawyer because she knew it would arouse his antipathy, but she had no choice. She could not control Abner on her own.
In the end, Abner finally came to the table
'obediently'. After shaking his head and refusing Sissi's help, he grabbed the child's seat with his hands and sat down. Then, he lowered his head sulkily and used chopsticks to poke the fried nuggets that Sissi gave him as if he was venting his anger in secret.
Amelia could not help but sigh. She did not want things to turn out this way.
Sissi took the opportunity to interrogate Amelia. "Miss Amelia Ramsay, before Sawyer and I went to serve the dishes, Abner was fine, but why is he in such a sour mood in such a short time?"
Amelia looked Sissi in the eye and said, "Because I told Abner that I could not accompany him anymore, so he got a little unhappy."
Sissi sneered. "Oh? So it turns out to be such a small matter. Abner's still young. When he grows up, he'll understand that all good things come to an end. Such unhappiness towards such a small deal means nothing at all."
"Well, I hope so." Amelia genuinely hoped so compared to Sissi's sarcasm.
