“No matter what, Amelia is our guest at the end of the day. You don’t treat a Dominics’ guest like that.”
“Ellen…”
Embarrassment, mixed with bitterness, made tears dribble down from her eyes.
But that only disgusted Ellen even more. Weeping is all these hypocritical bitches could do.Displeased, Ellen rolled her eyes. she would’ve gone harder on Lillian if she weren’t Jude’s daughter.
Lawrence stared at Amelia and Arthur hatefully as he wrapped Lillian into his arms.
“Ellen, Lillian was trying to be nice. She just didn't want Arthur to get conned by a liar.”
Arthur wouldn’t aloow Lawrence to vilify Amelia.
He sneered. “Lawrence, who are you implying? Let’s see who’ll get conned at the end. By then, don’t come and cry to me.
He ignored Lawrence then. Gently, he dragged Amelia back to her seat.
“Amelia, it’s my turn to feed you now.”
Arthur picked a chunk of fish and raised it to her mouth.
Amelia wanted to refuse. But when she opened her mouth to say the words, Arthur put the fish in her mouth. now that the fish was in her mouth, she could not just spit it out but swallow it.
Lawrence looked daggers at them. if she dare to eat the fish, he’ll…
Gritting his teeth, Lawrence thought about ways to punish Amelia if she ate the fish. But Arthur had tucked the fish into Amelia’s mouth before he could think of one.
How dare her
Didn’t she know that there’s saliva of Arthur’s remaining on the chopsticks? They just kissed indirectly?
But she had slept with Arthur already before. God knows how she let him ride her in bed. What’s the big deal about a kiss then?
Lawrence clenched his fists tightly at the thought of Amelia having sex with Arthur.
Subconsciously, he grabbed something. But he didn’t notice it was Lillian’s cup he was grabbing, not even when the cup broke in his palm and cut him to bleed.
“Lawrence, your hand!”
He came back to himself when Lillian shrieked.
He didn’t want to worry Heathway, so he hid his hand behind himself without anyone’s notice.
Heathway was too engrossed in the roses a maid brought up that she didn’t notice the anomaly of Lawrence at all.
Respectfully, the maid presented the cluster to Amelia. “You look beautiful today, Miss Amelia.”
Puzzled, Amelia took the flowers. What’s happening? Who sent her flowers?
