After being exposed by Amelia on the spot, Anya couldn't help blushing. "Madam... I'm not... I didn't..."
Amelia said, "Anya, you were hired by my father, so you should naturally listen to him. I don't mind you telling him about my friends."
When Anya heard this, she became even more embarrassed. "Madam, I'll tell you the truth. Old Master didn't ask me to keep an eye on you. He just wants to know who comes to look for you."
"As long as it's anyone else except for the members of the Quartley family, he has no objection. However, according to my description on the phone, Old Master was sure that the two people who came here today are from the Home of Quartley. He wanted me to find a way to drive them away. That’s it."
Amelia nodded and said, "It happened all of a sudden today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked them to stay for dinner. How about this, Anya? After they finish dinner, I will ask them to leave immediately. You call my dad now and tell him that you have settled this matter. Is that okay?"
Anya was hired by George, but she didn't want to offend Amelia either, so she agreed. "Madam, I'll call the old master now and say that the two guests have left. Do you think it's okay?"
"Of course."
Anya immediately called George in front of Amelia and told him the lie she had made up.
After a while, Anya put down her mobile phone and said to Amelia, "It's settled, Madam."
"What did my dad say?"
"Old Master said that I can't let down my guard against the Quartley family at all. He also asked me to pay more attention in the future."
Hearing this, Amelia couldn't help but smile.
Anya saw her smile and knew that she was
not angry, so she added, "Madam, I think Old Master really cares about you. He knows that you have been kidnapped by Sawyer, so he regards the whole Home of Quartley as a thorn. He can't wait to pull it out and dispose of it.”
It would be great if things were that simple.
Amelia thought to herself.
At this time, Kaiden came over with Abner, who had just washed his hands. "What are you doing? Didn't you say that dinner is ready? Why are you still sitting here?"
Hearing this, Amelia stood up straight from the sofa as if nothing had happened and said to them, "Nothing. Let's eat."

After the meal, Amelia did keep her promise. She sent Kaiden and Abner to the door and said, "Drive carefully."
After Kaiden nodded, he muttered, "Can't you let us stay for a while more? It's so boring for me and Abner to go back now, right, Abner?”
Abner answered honestly. He didn't have a father now, only his grandparents and uncle. But he didn't want to rely on these three people. He just wanted to rely on his Amelia.
But he also knew that he could not live with Amelia forever, unless she could return to the Home of Quartley. Only in this way could he have hope.
Thinking of this, Abner reached out to grab Amelia's clothes and said softly, "Amelia..."
Amelia's voice softened and she asked, "Abner, what's the matter?"
Abner twisted his body and said, "In the future, can you come to my grandparents' house more often to see me? My father is dead, and I'm afraid that I will become a child that no one wants."
Abner rarely showed weakness, so when he showed a pitiful and lonely look, few people could refuse him.
Amelia said with pity, "How can you be a child that no one wants? You are so good and sensible. The older brothers and sisters of the Home of Quartley will take care of you as if you are their younger brother."
Amelia's "brothers and sisters" referred to the servants of the Home of Quartley, but Abner resisted. "They all spoke ill of my father behind my back. I hate them!"
Hearing this, Amelia and Kaiden frowned at the same time.

The Home of Quartley.
"Uncle, aunt, we're back!"
When Kaiden carried Abner into the living room, Ryan and his wife immediately asked nervously, "Kay, how is it? Was Amelia impatient?"
"No, she even asked me and Abner to have dinner on the Land of Fragrance." Kaiden's voice was light.
"What? Did Amelia move back to the Land of Fragrance? Did she make you and Abner stay for dinner?" Ryan and his wife asked in surprise and envy.
"Yes.”
Ruth immediately said excitedly to Ryan, "Ryan, Amelia isn't living with George anymore. In this way, we can often go to the Land of Fragrance to look for her!"
"That's right!" Ryan’s face was also filled with joy.
"Right, we can see Cicily! Our precious grandson Cicily!" Ruth already began to speak incoherently.
Ryan couldn't help but express his gratitude. "Kay, thank you for bringing us such important news!"
"Other than that," Kaiden said with a smile, "Amelia managed to 'treat' Abner."
Ryan and his wife immediately turned to look at Abner. They wanted to find something different about him.
Seeing this, Kaiden didn't keep them guessing. "She not only let Abner speak, but also let Abner burst into tears, venting the sadness that has been suppressed in his heart for so many days."
