Too busy eating? Moving around?
What Amelia said sounded like nonsense.
But Amelia had no other choice.
She could not have pointed at the bowl in Andrea's hand and accused her of snatching the bowl that Sawyer wanted to pass to her.
Andrea said seriously, "Too busy? It seems that this meal is really difficult for Ms. Ramsay. You not only have to take care of Abner, but also have to pick up food for Kaiden. Now you don't have to worry about Sawyer. I'll take care of it."
"Okay, no problem." Amelia straightforwardly replied and gently moved the soup in front of her to Andrea. "Madam Andrea, please."
Andrea was stunned for a moment. Amelia's well manners made her more or less feel ashamed of her inferiority, but she really did not want to see excessive interaction between Sawyer and Amelia! This was the only thing she could do!
"Ms. Ramsay, please do as you please as well."
After Andrea finished her words in a calm tone, she started to pick up food for Sawyer.
Worried that Sawyer might still want more after finish eating, Andrea spooned again and again. After she spooned almost half a bowl, she instructed the butler to send the bowl back.
Speaking of Amelia, she no longer cared about what Andrea was doing. She just helped herself with other dishes.
At the scene, apart from Sawyer, everyone was seized with fear for Amelia.
Not to mention that Kaiden's gaze had never moved away from Amelia from the very beginning.
When he first saw her hand empty in the air, Kaiden felt a thump in his heart. His aunt, who looked kind on the surface, was trying to take action after all?
Just because... Amelia was Patrick's wife?!
Kaiden witnessed Amelia's panic and embarrass that followed, which triggered his emotion on top of taking pleasure in her misfortune. He felt grieved for her unexpectedly.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to help Amelia out, he saw her solving it herself. Although her excuses sounded outrageous, she still managed to stop Andrea's mouth.
Fortunately, Amelia did not choose to confront Andrea directly. Otherwise, even himself might not be able to protect her, Kaiden thought worriedly.
The butler took over the bowl with both hands and looked at Amelia with a little worry. He then turned around and sent it to Sawyer, "Sir, here's your bowl."
"Simon, just put it there."
Although he had received the food he wanted, Sawyer was not in a rush to eat it.
It was impossible not to doubt his intention.
Could it be that Sawyer was purely wanting to exchange a few words with Amelia, so he asked her to pick up food for him?
Andrea's unexpected interruption halfway through made Sawyer so angry that he did not even want to touch Andrea's food?
Everyone on the spot could not help thinking so.
At this moment, Andrea's gaze on Amelia became more meaningful.
Amelia restrained herself from attention from all directions and continued to focus on her meal, as if she did not see any strange ongoings around her.
Abner, who was in her arms, stared longingly at the tip of Amelia's fork. Seeing that Amelia was only focused on feeding herself, but had completely forgotten about him, he bulged his cheeks out of anxious, like a little goldfish.
Normally, when Abner's action was out of ordinary, Amelia would be able to detect it very quickly.
But at this moment, Amelia was already overwhelmed herself that she naturally forgot about Abner's request.
After a short while...
Babble sound of continuous retching could be heard as Abner's saliva dripped onto the ground along
Sawyer's middle finger.
"It's okay, Abner." Sawyer comforted him in an almost inaudible manner.
Such emetic method was undoubtedly very uncomfortable. Amelia and Kaiden at the side kept swallowing their saliva to relieve their discomfort.
After quite some time, just as Andrea was about to suggest sending Abner to the hospital again out of distress, she heard Abner vomit vigorously!
"Settled!" Sawyer's expression relaxed. He quickly pulled his finger out of Abner's throat, and a round meatball fell to the ground as followed.
Fortunately!
Amelia's palm was already sweaty. No matter what, Abner got into trouble under her care.
On the other side, regardless of Abner's frail body, Sawyer pushed him onto the back of his chair in a rough manner. Pointing at his little nose, Sawyer asked, "Abner! Why did you snatch over the food?"
Abner fell on the chair, his eyes were full of tears, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his mouth was full of saliva. If he had not been born beautiful, he would have looked like a little beggar who had grown up in a garbage dump.
Abner's pitiful expression did not evoke Sawyer's compassion. He even raised his tone and said, "Tell
me!"
Abner was already bad at expressing himself in the first place. At this moment, after Sawyer's fierce shout at him, he was even more speechless, keeping his large eyes down and blankly remained silent.
