Ethan’s words sounded like he cared about Amelia, but in truth, he was marking his territory. At the same time, he was quietly blaming Mason for stepping in where he didn’t belong.

Amelia’s face went a little pale. She was just about to speak when Mason’s voice sounded before hers.

He was holding a glass of water and walked over calmly from the kitchen.

He set the glass down on the coffee table next to Amelia’s hand. Then he lifted his gave Ethan a cool glance.

“No trouble at all.

“I don’t feel safe letting her stay at the Rowe Estate.”

Mason paused. His gaze shifted to Ethan, whose face instantly darkened, and he said clearly, “After all, I haven’t forgotten that Amelia got hurt right under your watch.”

Ethan’s expression changed again and again.

Because what Mason said was a hard truth.

He absolutely couldn’t let Fiona find out that Hannah and her daughter were also involved in this matter.

The moment that thought crossed his mind, the confidence he had brought with him to question them drained away completely.

He didn’t even dare look at Amelia, afraid he would see sharp mockery in her calm, distant

eyes.

Still, Fiona was someone who had spent her whole life dealing with people. She quickly sensed the tense air between the two men, as well as her grandson’s strange silence.

But in her eyes, this was just a small argument between young people over not taking good enough care of someone.

She patted Amelia’s hand gently and spoke in a warm, loving voice. “Amelia, look at your foot. It’s badly hurt. Living on your own outside isn’t as comfortable as being at home.

“Come back and stay with me. I’ll have Ethan stay with you every day. He won’t be allowed to go anywhere until you’re fully healed.”

Amelia calmly glanced at Ethan’s embarrassed face.

The corner of her mouth lifted slightly.

“Thank you, Fiona, but there’s no need. I recover faster here.”

Fiona didn’t catch the deeper meaning. She only thought Amelia was still upset about Ethan’s carelessness, which made her even more unhappy with Ethan. She shot Ethan an annoyed look and spoke more firmly, “Did you hear that? Amelia doesn’t trust you at all. I say forget about those company matters. Stay home and take care of Amelia properly. You’re not allowed to step outside until she says she forgives you!”

Her words made Ethan’s face look even worse. He turned to Amelia like he was asking for help, his eyes full of pleading.

Amelia only felt it was ironic.

Just as she was about to refuse again, Mason stepped in at just the right moment.

He first gave Fiona a polite nod. His tone was gentle but clearly kept some distance. “Fiona, please don’t worry. I’ve already had Amelia’s injury checked by a doctor I trust.

“The doctor said she hurt her bones and muscles. Besides resting, she also needs proper physical therapy to fully recover. I’ve already arranged everything. Treatment started a couple of days ago, and after some time, she should be able to walk normally again.”

Then his tone shifted slightly. His eyes swept past Ethan, almost casually, as he added, “This kind of treatment really can’t handle being moved back and forth. If she goes back to the Rowe Estate and the environment changes, the injury could get worse again. That would only slow her recovery.”

Seeing that both Mason and Amelia felt the same way, and that Mason had already arranged proper medical care, Fiona couldn’t push any further.

She sighed, but deep down, she felt more certain that the problem between Amelia and Ethan was more than just poor care.

She could clearly sense that, from beginning to end, Amelia’s attitude toward Ethan wasn’t simply anger. It was a deep, bone–cold distance.

The room fell into a stiff silence.

Seeing this, Ethan knew there was no chance of taking Amelia away today.

With a hint of reluctance, Ethan took out a beautifully wrapped velvet box and held it out to

Amelia.

“Amelia, this is a gift I picked out for you on my business trip. Didn’t you say before that you

Inside the box was a delicate diamond bracelet.

Amelia gave

it a brief glance. Her eyes rested on the bright diamonds for less than a second before she looked away.

“Thank you.”

Just two polite words, distant and without any feeling.

Ethan’s outstretched hand froze awkwardly in midair.

Just then, a sudden phone ringtone broke the moment.

Ethan glanced at the caller ID out of habit, and a flash of panic crossed his face.

Almost like someone with a guilty conscience, he quickly walked out onto the balcony beyond the floor–to–ceiling window.

“Hello?”

Amelia quietly watched his back. Even through the glass, she couldn’t hear clearly what he was saying, but just by looking at how nervous and guilty he seemed, she immediately guessed who was on the other end. If it wasn’t Hannah, who else could it be?

On the balcony, Ethan’s voice sounded impatient. “Didn’t I say I was busy? What is it?”

On the other end of the call, Hannah’s voice was sweet and teasing, with a hint of

possessiveness. “Ethan, when are you coming back? I cooked everything myself today. I made a whole table of your favorite dishes. I’m waiting for you.”
