Alice's words helped Kaleb and Amelia for not being in an awkward situation.
Amelia sighed secretly when she felt that the glance from the domineering man was no longer that cold. After that, she was really hungry, so she asked Alice softly, "Aunt Alice, can I have some food first? I promise I will just eat only a bit."
The people around Amelia could not sit still when they heard her words.
Most of the people came over with empty bellies in order to rush to this feast.
It was half past two in the afternoon and the two newly-wed had not arrived yet. Everyone was hungry. However, they wanted to be polite so they were waiting secretly for someone to speak first.
Alice was charmed by Amelia's adorable expression so she said hurriedly, "Let's eat"
"Okay!" Amelia nodded happily. She picked up her fork and was about to take the plate of goose liver stewed with small potatoes in front of her. However, the rotating glass base suddenly spun. The plate of goose liver stew was changed to a small plate of peanuts.
"Then we will start eating now." Kaleb laughed twice and took two pieces of delicious goose liver with his fork.
Amelia who could not grab anything stared at Kaleb's hand for a while. She was not satisfied with his action.
By the time the plate of goose liver returned, it was empty.
Amelia bit the fork with her white teeth in sorrow.
She wondered if she could ask the chef to cook the dish again.
Patrick made a decision when he saw this.
Patrick raised his hand and made a snap. Then Huxton came out from somewhere. He bent over to Patrick and asked respectfully, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Patrick opened and closed his thin lips. After he spoke to Huxton in a voice that was hardly heard by other people, he waved his hand to Huxton and let him go to work.
Before Huxton left, he cast a subtle glance at Amelia who had a strange expression on her face.
After Huxton left, Amelia immediately asked Patrick in a soft voice, "When did you bring Huxton out? Why didn't I know?" "He followed us as soon as we went out but you didn't notice." "Why do you have to bring him to every places you go?"
Patrick glanced at her and said, "Because I don't feel safe."
Amelia frowned. "I think you just want him to follow me, don't you?"
"I bring him in order to protect my safety and keep an eye on your whereabouts. Am I not killing two birds with one stone?" Patrick's voice was sexy but Amelia just wanted to beat him when she heard it.
She said discontentedly, "I am not your captive."
He smiled and said, "Honey, you should be used to this way of living from now on."
Getting used to the role of becoming a slave in a caged house? Amelia felt a chill running down her spine.
While they were whispering, Huxton returned with a row of waiters.
All of them had the same thing in common except Huxton. The palms on their left hand was open and they were holding trays covered with a silver lid on them. There were at least a dozen of them.
Many guests stopped eating when they saw the situation. They wanted to see the person that these waiters were going to serve.
Of course, it turned out that they were here for Amelia.
The normal dishes in front of Amelia were quickly replaced by sixteen trays of delicious food. The lids were collectively opened by the handsome foreign waiters revealing the dishes inside.
Amelia's mouth twitched when she saw this. There were sixteen plates of mixed fruits and vegetables with goose liver, cold dressing goose liver, goose liver bread, goose liver apple pie...
Other than the dishes of goose liver, there were also pork ribs stewed with potatoes, pickled shredded potatoes, braised sirloin with potatoes...
