Chapter 319 There Is Someone In Her Heart
Back in the bedroom, Amelia sighed and chided, “Tiff, you were really harsh to Rory. No matter what, Jeremy was the one who introduced her to the job. Being rude to her is equal to being rude to Jeremy. He’s an old staff, so that’s not good.”
“Babe, are you blaming me?” Tiffany arched a brow and asked.
“Tiff, you know I didn’t mean that. I don’t want you to end up as a prickly hedgehog because of me. I may be blind, but my heart isn’t. I can sense if someone is sincere or not. Rory is just here as a caregiver, and there is no conflict of interest between us. There was no need to put her in a tight spot,” Amelia answered honestly.
Tiffany helped her to the bed and explained, “I wasn’t trying to put her in a tight spot, but she gives off an evil vibe. I was afraid she wanted to use you and gave her a stern warning beforehand. If you don’t put her in her place, she’ll get the wrong ideas. Especially since she’s a good-looking young lady.”
Amelia burst into giggles at her explanation.
“Tiff, since when did you major in psychology?” Amelia teased. “You’ve just met her, right? How did you know she’s evil? Sometimes, we can’t judge a person by her looks. We’ve been in her shoes, so you should know how upset it feels to be misunderstood by someone else. Why are you doing the same thing to her now?”
Tiffany sighed and caved in.
“All right, I was wrong. I’ll apologize, okay?” she grumbled unhappily.
Amelia reminded her gently, “You should apologize to Rory, not to me. Show your sincerity.”
“Babe, why are you defending someone else? Am I not your friend?” Tiffany pretended to be furious and huffed.
Amelia chuckled, and her mood was lifted. Thanks to Tiffany, she felt much better now.
After a short nap, Amelia got up and washed up with Tiffany’s help. They then headed to the nursery to check on Tony.
“Kurt, good afternoon. Did you have a good nap? Was Tony fussy?” Amelia turned to where she thought Kurt was and asked.
After Amelia could no longer see, Kurt didn’t bother hiding his affection for her. His gaze was both warm and adoring.
It was obvious that he was head over heels in love with her.
Though they hadn’t known each other for a long time, Kurt found Amelia’s strong and optimistic character charming. It had nothing to do with her outlooks. There were plenty of gorgeous women out there, but Amelia was able to attract the men around her. It meant that she possessed qualities that most women lacked.
“Amelia, you… I…” It was rare to hear Kurt stutter.
“Kurt, what’s wrong? If you need anything, just let me know. I’m listening,” Amelia answered good-naturedly. After losing her eyesight, she was no longer as arrogant as before and was usually mild-mannered. However, her bottom line remained. Though she seemed gentle and nice, her guard was always up.
To others, she was a sexy and mild-mannered woman, but none of them could see the impenetrable wall around her heart. The door was opened to only one man, hence the other men who admired her and harbored feelings for her could never enter her heart.
Tiffany took one look at his flushed cheeks and teased, “Kurt, look how crimson your cheeks are. Someone might think you’re proposing to Amelia!”
Amelia gave her a playful slap. “Tiff, stop it. I don’t mind your jokes, but Kurt is still single. What if someone else takes it wrongly?”
Tiffany had the intention of bringing them together, so she waved it off nonchalantly. “So what? Both of you are single. It’s normal if Kurt wants to pursue you! You’re pretty, right? You’ll make a perfect couple!”
As she was getting overboard, Amelia immediately changed the topic so things wouldn’t turn awkward for Kurt and her. “Kurt, where is Tony? I’d like to hold him.”
After handing Tony to her, Kurt plucked up his courage to confess his feelings. “Amelia, I happened to pass by a jewelry store during my mission and saw a necklace that suits you. I bought it as a gift for you. Here you go.” A jewelry box appeared in his palm as he offered it to her earnestly.
Amelia was stunned, for it was pretty obvious what it meant when a man offered a gift to a woman.
Her mind went blank at once. It had never crossed her mind that Kurt would have romantic feelings for her!
Kurt opened the box and took out the necklace inside. It was a crystal necklace that glittered under the light. There was a heart pendant with Amelia’s smiling face printed on it.
Tiffany inched nearer to get a better look. Wow, this is a pretty gift.
“Amelia, don’t hurt Kurt’s feelings. Just hurry up and accept it,” Tiffany urged.
Amelia was stumped. She knew what it would mean if she were to accept the gift. Unfortunately, her heart belonged to someone else, and had no space for another man.
“Kurt, I…” She struggled to find the appropriate words to reject Kurt, for she was afraid they couldn’t even remain friends.
