Chapter 128 Brother–in–law

Damien Taylor gazed at Amelia Johnson in silence, his eyes warm like gentle waves lapping at the shore. In the end, he simply pressed a soft kiss to her forehead.

“Give me a minute.”

With that, Damien stepped out of the room.

Amelia, however, got even more nervous. She figured he must be off to grab protection or something!

Okay, now what should she do?

Shower–yes, a shower! It was super hot anyway, and sweating later would just be awkward. She rushed into the bathroom to freshen up.

Once she finished, Amelia opened the towel bundle and nearly dropped it in shock–it was one of the lingerie sets Evelyn Taylor had given her!

No doubt Evelyn had slipped it in while setting up their room.

But seriously, she couldn’t walk out like this, could she?

“Amelia? You good?” Damien’s voice came from just outside the bathroom.

Amelia glanced between the robe and the little outfit in her hands, then gave in–fine, better than nothing at all.

Maybe it was just way too embarrassing, but when she stepped out, she couldn’t even look Damien in the

eye.

He noticed right away. “What’s wrong? You feeling/okay?”

“No, I mean–yes, I’m fine!” she quickly waved it off, then coughed awkwardly. “So… what were you getting?”

“This.” Damien was fiddling with a vinyl record player, focused and careful.

Soon, a romantic tune drifted out, the melody soft and dreamy, filling the space between them and making Amelia blush for misjudging the situation.

“Would Miss Johnson do me the honor of a dance?” Damien asked, offering his hand like a proper gentleman.

Amelia hesitated. “But… I’m literally in a bathrobe. Doesn’t it seem kind of off?”

Taking a step closer, Damien pulled her gently into his arms and murmured beside her ear, “To me, you look beautiful in anything. We always match.”

His voice was low and tender, his breath brushing her skin and setting off little waves in her chest.

“Why the sudden urge to dance?” Amelia leaned into him, swaying slowly with the music.

“Just got caught in the mood,” he replied with a smile, then told her about something he once saw in a

fancy restaurant–a sweet old couple dancing, probably married forever. “Back then, I thought… if I ever fall infove, I want to dance like that with her, even when we’re old. Sounds good?”

Amelia blinked back tears and held him tighter. “Yeah… it really does.”

They danced until late at night, eventually falling asleep wrapped in each other’s arms.

The next morning.

Damien dropped Amelia off at her family home From upstairs, Rachel Williams was already up and just happened to spot Damien getting out of the car through the window. That one glance was enough–she was totally smitten.

As Damien drove off, Amelia stepped inside the house–and almost walked straight into Jessica Williams, wearing sleepwear a little too casual for someone staying over.

Amelia frowned, her tone cold and distant. “That’s my boyfriend. Your future brother–in–law, actually. What, are you planning to go after him too?”

Rachel’s face flushed. She pouted and muttered, “I just wanted to be friends with him. Why do you have to make it sound so ugly?”

And then she threw a low blow, deliberately adding, “Hmph, Sabrina is way nicer to me than you are!”

That actually made Amelia chuckle, “So you’re saying Sabrina’s willing to introduce her boyfriend to you?”

Rachel scratched her head awkwardly. “But… Sabrina never mentioned she had a boyfriend.”

“She might not have said it, but she definitely likes someone. You mean she didn’t even tell you that? I thought you two were so close after seeing how good she was to you yesterday.” With a faint glint in her eyes, Amelia stepped into her room and shut the door, ignoring her.

During lunch, Richard made a special trip home. Seizing the opportunity, Jessica curiously brought up Damien Taylor. “I only heard about him from Rachel earlier, thought it wouldn’t hurt to meet more people here in the city. That’s not a bad thing, right, Brother–in–law?”

She smiled and threw in a compliment. “Not everyone’s as lucky as Sister to meet someone as incredible

Richard, clearly pleased by the flattery, still gave Rachel a bit of a reality check. “Damien isn’t just anybody; he’s one of the top–tier guys in Heliovard. Not a man just anyone can aim for. But if it’s rich heirs Rachel’s interested in, I might know a few ways in.”
