Chapter 467 Wedding
After lunch, Amelia and Tiffany brought the dirty dishes to the kitchen.
Rory and Eva wanted to help with the washing-up, but Amelia shooed them away.
As the two of them were washing the dishes, Amelia couldn’t help but lecture, “Tiff, what you did to Rory just now wasn’t nice. After all, she’s a white-collar worker at a company now instead of the simple and innocent farmer she used to be. Why were you so harsh on her? You know she’s quite prideful.”
Tiffany glanced at her and said, “Babe, didn’t you notice something off about her?”
“What is it?”
“Babe, I think you’ve let your guard down as a result of living such a comfortable life. Either that or you’re really just that oblivious.”
“What do you mean?”
“Did you not notice how Rory looked at Oscar?”
“Of course, I did.”
Tiffany stared at Amelia, her eyes wide in disbelief. “Then why do you still let Rory be around Oscar?”
“Since Oscar is okay with having Kurt around to keep Tony company, what right do I have to not let any woman who fancies him near him? Oscar is an incredibly capable man. Besides, he’s from an influential family and very handsome. Unsurprisingly, women would be all over him. To be honest, I won’t even be surprised if a man fancies him because he’s that good. No matter what I do, I can’t stand in the way of everyone that likes him, can I? Hence, I choose to trust him completely. If someone still manages to capture his heart after everything we’ve gone through, I’d yield and leave him. I’d still be happy because at least he’d have someone to care for him for the rest of his life.”
“You’re so silly.” Tiffany was pissed off and concerned at the same time when she realized how much Amelia trusted Oscar. It was almost to the point of blind trust.
“Although you’re okay with another woman taking over your place, have you ever thought about what’s going to happen to you and Tony?” Tiffany asked.
“If my relationship with Oscar really does reach that stage, I’ll bring Tony away for good,” Amelia answered honestly.
“Amelia, have you become an idiot?”
Amelia cracked a smile and said, “I was just speaking hypothetically, Tiff. Don’t worry; I won’t give up that easily. After the hardships we’ve been through as a couple, I’ll stay by his side persistently unless he really doesn’t want me anymore.”
Tiffany couldn’t help but smile upon hearing that. “Babe, what happened to your dignity?”
Amelia chuckled gleefully in response.
After cleaning all the dishes, Tiffany kept them on the shelves and warned, “Babe, I suggest you keep an eye on Rory. Not everyone is as grateful as you think. Who knows? She might even turn around and betray you one day.”
Amelia was rather amused. “What’s with you and Rory, Tiff? Has she wronged you in any way? Why do you despise her so much?”
“Perhaps I just don’t like the way she carries herself around. Just because she has the looks, she thinks she’s the woman of every man’s dream. I wonder where she got such a sense of superiority. She’s just a country bumpkin. I hate how prideful she is.” Tiffany frowned and huffed in dramatic disdain. Funny enough, Tiffany had never been one to look down on others. However, her dislike for Rory was through the roof.
Amelia was nonplussed.
Worried, Tiffany reminded, “Babe, I’m serious. You better watch out for that girl. Although I believe Oscar has self-control, I’m sure you know damn well how desperate girls can get when they’ve set their eyes on seducing rich and powerful men. I suggest you stay away from girls with such intentions. Don’t say I never warned you.”
Amelia suddenly froze, and her hand trembled slightly while still holding a plate.
With a bitter smile, she was seemingly deep in thought.
Tiffany nudged her and whispered, “What is it? Did I say something that upset you?”
Amelia lifted her head and smiled. “I know what to do.”
Seeing that, Tiffany decided to let the matter slide. “That’s good. Let’s head back before they think we might’ve been kidnapped by aliens!”
Amelia giggled at her joke.
Upon entering the living room, they only saw Tony, Rory, and Eva.
Amelia wiped her hands and asked, “Where are the others?”
