Savannah, whose face had been pale, finally came back to her senses after seeing Abner successfully spitted out the meatball. She begged, "Sir! Abner is already very uncomfortable, please be merciful and forgive him this time!"
Sawyer did not go for it. "As Abner's grandmother, even my mother hasn't said anything yet. You're just a nanny, why are you interrupting?"
Savannah was scolded to the point she shrank her shoulders, and her facial expression became worse.
At this moment, Andrea said, "Sawyer, you treat Abner too strictly. It's his fault being esurient, but I think... it's better for you to educate him after he recovers. In his current situation, I'm afraid that he will not listen to what you say. Kaiden, what do you think?"
Kaiden touched his nose and resignedly went along with Andrea's words. "Sawyer, I think Aunt Andrea is right. Ms. Ramsay, what do you think?"
What the f*ck!
Why were they passing the bomb around?
Amelia slightly frowned. Even Savannah who was such a loyal servant, was scolded so badly by
Sawyer. How could she, an outsider, get a positive response?
However, under the fierce gaze of The Quartley Family, Amelia knew that there would not be a good response either, if she kept silent.
She chose her words and said, "Mr. Quartley, it's also my fault. I only ate on my own and forgot about Abner starving. If you were to blame, please blame me."
Sure enough, Sawyer did not treat her well either. "Ms. Ramsay, I respect you, but at the same time, I hope that you can respect me! No matter how hungry Abner was, he shouldn't have done such a thing like snatching food. This is an extremely uneducated and dangerous act!"
Abner raised his head at this moment. His blank expression, like that of an innocent animal being kicked, had thoroughly aroused Amelia's tender heart as a mother-to-be.
"Mr. Quartley, Abner has been taught a lesson, hasn't he? When you urged him to vomit just
now, I clearly heard that you comforted him that it's fine. This proved that you were actually quite concerned about him! If that's so, can't you talk to him in a more friendly tone?"
Sawyer said coldly, "Ms. Ramsay, you've gone overboard! On the matter of educating Abner, if you insist on having a say, then I can only get the butler to send you out."
A chill shot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, Amelia suddenly fell silent.
Why did she act on impulse?
No matter how she sympathized with Abner, she had to remember whose son he was!
What did it have to do with her while Sawyer was teaching his son a lesson? If she lost the contract because of this, she and the Apex Construction Corporation would be in big trouble!
Amelia regretted it so much at this moment!
Kaiden's back was covered with cold sweat. He pulled Amelia's clothes and said, "Shut up, stop talking!"
Amelia bitterly glanced at Kaiden. It was him who asked her to express her opinion. It was also him who told her to stop talking. Was this guy present just to trouble her?
"Dad..." Hearing that Sawyer was going to send Amelia away, Abner's puppet-like blank expression finally started to change, "I... I want... Sis Amelia... I'm... I'm sorry..."
Abner expressed that he did not want Amelia to leave first, then apologized to Sawyer.
He actually apologized!
Just a moment ago, when Sawyer criticized him so severely, he did not even say a single word. At this moment, in order to detain Amelia, he actually did not hesitate to start talking?!
Kaiden, who was behind Amelia, was stunned and asked, "Are you really not Abner's mother?"
Amelia rolled her eyes. "Are you kidding me?"
"But he, he's treating you...."
"This is fate!"
Right after she had showed off, Amelia heard Sawyer ordering Savannah to take Abner back to his room to wash up with a low voice.
