Chapter 435 A Rather Unique Look
Soon, Saturday arrived, Amelia was woken up by her ringtone at six in the morning. She had initially wanted to answer the call, but Oscar beat her to it.
“Hello?” he asked, patting Amelia’s back to put her back to sleep.
“Is this Amelia’s number?” A female voice that sounded unsure came through the speakers. She then muttered to herself, “Didn’t Uncle Dominic say this is Amelia’s number? Why is there a guy’s voice? Could he be her husband?”
Oscar was finally more alert, and he answered, “Yes, I’m her husband.”
Suddenly, a madwoman’s voice could be heard. “Ah! Oscar! Are you really Oscar? Oh my goodness. Your voice sounds so masculine. You must be quite handsome, right? Amelia is so lucky. My uncle says Amelia is married to a man from a rich family in this city. So you must be a tycoon, right? Oh, let me introduce myself. I’m Eva. By the way, where’s Amelia?”
Oscar had almost turned deaf from her ear-piercing shrieks.
He knitted his brows and said with a deep voice, “Be quiet!”
Eva went silent. She then asked hesitantly, “Do you not like me?”
“It’s not that. Amelia is still sleeping. I just wanted you to keep it down and not wake her up.”
“Oh. I’m sorry. I guess it’s still quite early. I forgot Amelia is not like me—a night owl. Okay then. I’ll let you two continue sleeping. My flight is at eight o’clock. Could you tell her to come to get me at ten o’clock?” Eva lowered her voice in a funny way.
Oscar’s frown lifted slightly, and he replied, “We already know about your flight details. Don’t worry. Someone will be there to get you once you’ve arrived.”
“Thank you, Oscar! Love you!” With that, the call ended.
Oscar was rendered speechless.
As expected of a millennial. Her way of thinking was at a different level from his, who was born in the eighties.
Amelia turned around and hugged Oscar’s waist. “Who was that?”
“Your cousin.”
“Is she here already?”
“No. She said her flight is at eight o’clock.”
‘What’s the time now?”
“It’s only six in the morning.”
Amelia too was speechless. She asked, “Why would she give a call so early in the morning?”
She could’ve given me a call a few days ago. But, no. She just has to choose to call so early in the morning. How rude…
Oscar stroked her back and said soothingly, “Go to sleep. It’s still early.”
Very soon, she fell asleep once more.
Finally, she woke up at eight-thirty in the morning. Seeing how late it was, she leaped off the bed and darted to the bathroom to wash up briefly. By the time she came out, she was already dressed in a professional white suit that gave off an impression of a competent office lady.
As she got down the stairs, Oscar was coincidentally serving breakfast from the kitchen while Tony sat at the dining table, watching everything silently.
“Mommy,” he greeted sweetly.
Amelia walked over and gave Tony a kiss on the forehead. She turned to Oscar and said, “Why didn’t you wake me up? It’s already so late. I won’t be able to make it to the airport later.”
“I’ve sent Hugo to the airport. If we don’t make it in time, he’ll bring her home,” Oscar answered nonchalantly.
Hearing that, Amelia could only sit down to have her breakfast.
She fed Tony his food before quickly downing hers.
“Tony, we’re going to pick up your aunt in a while. Please behave, okay?” she said while squatting down.
Tony gave a firm nod. “I’ll be polite to her.”
Amelia was pleased with his response.
The trio took the elevator and headed downstairs. Oscar got into the driver’s seat while both Amelia and Tony sat in the backseat.
Along the way, Tony asked, “Mommy, is she your sister?”
“She’s not. It’s your granduncle’s daughter. She’s my cousin,” Amelia explained.
