What about Vince?
"Have you ever thought about doing something about it?"
The question made Vince pause in thought.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Isn't an alliance marriage a pretty solid choice?"
This time, it was Jamie who fell silent.
Amelia was a great person, and she liked her very much.
But as a friend and as a sister, she hoped the two would marry out of love, not just because of some arrangement.
She shook her head, unsure of what to say.
…
Lila had been busy with the film crew for several days. After finishing early one day, she found some time to head back to Northridge City.
She didn't go back to Evergreen Heights but went straight to the Morgan residence.
She was concerned that Amelie might act up and refuse to take her medicine properly.
Nicole couldn't handle Amelie, and even Frances couldn't persuade her.
Lila clutched the items she bought, and just as she reached the door, she heard some voices inside.
Guests?
She pushed the door open. The housekeeper noticed the door opening first, and when she saw Lila, her face lit up with joy.
"Ms. Hart is here!" she exclaimed.
Everyone in the living room turned to look, especially Amelie and Nicole, who quickly stood up.
"My dear granddaughter is finally visiting me!" Amelie said happily.
Sitting next to Amelie was an elderly man and a young man.
The young man also stood up and looked over.
Lila's eyes met his, and both of them froze for a moment.
