My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 816

The guard stole another glance at Amy, his lips parting as if to speak but quickly shifting his gaze to Lewis and Keira.

Was this little girl really their child?

Better to stay quiet, he thought.

After dinner, Amy stuck close to Monbatten, shadowing him like a loyal sidekick. She sat quietly at his side, observing his conversations with the many guests. Unlike most kids her age, Amy didn't fidget or cause a fuss.

Monbatten glanced at her, his curiosity piqued. “Aren't you bored?”

Amy shook her head, her face lighting up. “Not at all!”

In fact, she was thrilled. She'd never been around so many adults, engaging in lively conversations. It was a refreshing change from the usual hushed meetings her parents kept her out of.

What fascinated her the most was Monbatten's distinct accent. Even though he spoke in Country A's language, Amy found she could understand him—thanks to the lessons her mom had given her as a child.

“You understand what we're saying?” Monbatten asked, visibly surprised.

Amy nodded eagerly. “Mom taught me when I was little.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Why would she teach you that?”

“She said I'd need it to talk to my dad someday.” Amy tilted her head and smiled. “Daddy, will you teach me how to speak like you?”

Monbatten let out a rare chuckle. “Of course.”

He began teaching her a few basic phrases, and Amy mimicked him with precision, drawing his amused approval.

Across the room, Keira and Lewis watched the exchange, their expressions a mix of disbelief and intrigue.

Keira leaned closer to Lewis, whispering, “How is Monbatten getting along with Amy so well?”

Lewis frowned, still staring at the pair. “I've been wondering the same thing.”

Just then, Jenkins sidled up beside them, grinning mischievously. “Not bad, Keira! You might not be great at networking, but you sure know how to pull strings. Did you know Amy would win over Monbatten like this? Is that why you brought her along?”

Keira blinked. “What?”

Jenkins wagged a finger at her. “Oh, come on. You've never brought Amy to meet guests before, and now suddenly she's here. Admit it—you planned this!”
