Kaiden nodded slightly and managed to find his voice as he spoke, "Butler, thank you for coming all the way. But why are you the one who comes to pick me this time?"
There was another half an hour journey from here to Streams Villa. On normal days, Sawyer would usually allow the servants to come and pick Kaiden up. However, there had never been a time when the butler on his own was sent over to pick him.
"Two of the servants were on sick leave while another two were assigned to replenish groceries. The remaining of them have to stay at home and look after the young master. So I'm the only one remaining who currently has nothing on hand. Um..."
Pausing, the elder saw a lady emerging from Kaiden's back while panting. He could not help asking in curiosity, "Who is this lady?"
Kaiden replied naturally, "Oh, I don't know her. Let's get going."
Amelia would not allow Kaiden to abandon her right here. Upon deliberating, she said decisively, "Kaiden, it's okay for you to not admit knowing me. But you should at least admit that you know the baby in my tummy. After all, it is your own child!"
While Kaiden and the butler were startling, Amelia lowered her head and caress her abdomen gently while murmuring, "Dear, if your father doesn't want you, I have no other choice but to get rid of you. I don't want you to be called an illegitimate child in future!"
The butler peeked at Kaiden strangely. All this while bethought Kaiden was infertile.
Upon hearing this, Kaiden was outrageous. His lips were trembling in anger yet he could not come out with any words.
Seeing Kaiden's reaction, the butler was stunned. He started to wonder if this woman had indeed impregnated by Kaiden.
At this time, Amelia suddenly glanced in direction of the butler and said, "Uncle, I'm sure you are from the Quartley family, aren't you?"
"Yes... Yes!" The butler's sound was trembling as he answered. He was simply too excited at the fact that Kaiden had found himself a woman!
Amelia then asked again, "Then is it true that there's a man named Sawyer staying here?"
"That's right." The butler nodded.
Amelia heaved a sigh of relief and began to speak pretentiously, "Huh, actually Kaiden had brought me here today to meet his beloved cousin so that he can introduce me to him. But we had some arguments just now during our way here. That's why he pretended that he didn't know me."
The butler seemed to understand what was going on as he replied, "Oh, now I see."
"You're handsome, Uncle. Is that possible for you to tag me along to Quartley's mansion?" Amelia glanced at the butler flatteringly.
There was no doubt that any men could not have resisted such soft greeting. The butler smiled and said, "Sure, since you're pregnant, please crack on and get onto the car."
"Thank you, uncle!" Throwing a delicately sweet smile, Amelia then turned around and peeked at Kaiden with a hint of victorious smile at the corner of her eyes.
Kaiden was stoned after suffering defeat continuously...
After getting onto the Lincoln, Amelia heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time, her attention was drawn to the mini fridge in the car which was probably filled with exquisite food and beverage. Upon thinking of this, she could not help feeling hungry and slavering at her mouth.
Noticing the direction of her gaze, the butler explained, "Miss, the fridge is currently empty now. We had already sent people to replenish it. If you're feeling thirsty now, I'm sorry to let you know that you might need to hold on for awhile."
Amelia's smile remained unchanged as she said, "It's okay. I'm not hungry."
The butler was startled by her reply. All this while he thought Amelia was simply thirsty.
Seeing that Amelia was pretty good looking and well behaved, the butler could not help nodding in silence. Approving Kaiden's choice of women, he began to have faith that Sawyer would be more than willing to consent to their marriage.
However, the butler also had this feeling that he had seen this woman somewhere before.
