Chapter 602 Benjamin Is Here
“No issue. Since he’s still a kid, I won’t take his words to heart. Anyway, kids tend to speak in a way as instigated by their parents. Thus, I hope you’ll take note of that,” Kate mocked with a subtle smile. She was born to be a beauty, and no words could describe how stunning she looked when she smiled. On top of that, she did not look like a woman who was already more than sixty years old. Unequivocally, her breathtaking beauty was irresistible to everyone.
Meanwhile, Amelia also smiled placidly.
Throwing Crystal a glance, Kate uttered ambiguously, “Crystal, let’s go. I don’t wish to have my mood spoiled by someone else. My temples start to throb whenever I see her.”
Crystal held onto her arm and uttered gently, “Mrs. Hisson, let’s go.”
When they walked past Tiffany, Laura derided, “Tiffany, I hope you’re even more competent in getting more investments for Derrick. If so, it’ll be a lot more fun for me. Don’t you know I have a preference for more challenging things?”
The next second, she strutted off with her nose in the air with Crystal.
Tiffany only retracted her gaze from their retreating figures when they were finally out of sight.
“Tiffy, are you all right?” Tony’s mellifluous voice sounded, breaking her reverie.
Tiffany regained her composure and pinched his cheek lightly with a chuckle. “I’m fine. I think that outfit suits you. How about you try them on?”
Tony nodded in agreement.
Tiffany chose one set of suits and two sets of casual wear for him. He stepped into the fitting room alone to try on the outfits without the two women’s assistance.
In the meantime, Amelia and Tiffany were seated on the couch specially prepared for shoppers. Gazing at Tiffany, Amelia commented resignedly, “Evidently, Mrs. Hisson still has a prejudice against you.”
Tiffany shrugged her shoulders and looked as if she was oblivious to it.
“Well, what can I do? My family background, education background, and looks are incomparable to Crystal Halliwell. If I were in her shoes, I would certainly choose the most qualified woman for my son. But undeniably, when it comes to relationships, couples know best if they are meant for each other. Others’ preferences might not be ideal for us,” Tiffany mumbled matter-of-factly.
Flashing her a faint smile, Amelia tried to cheer her up. “Stop overthinking. Again, I wish to emphasize that you’re good-natured and treat elders with filial piety. Time will reveal a person’s true nature. I believe it’s just a matter of time before she notices your virtue.”
“I hope so.” Tiffany smiled bitterly.
After that, they shopped for quite a long time in the mall and bought quite a few outfits for Tony.
When Tiffany was about to send Amelia and Tony home, the latter received a call from Dominic. Moments later, Tiffany overheard her reply, “I’ll head to the hospital now.”
After hanging up the call, Amelia stated grimly, “Tiff, can you turn around the car and head for the hospital?”
“What happened?” Tiffany asked in bafflement.
“I have no idea. My dad only urged me to go straight to the hospital without mentioning anything. I wonder why too,” Amelia responded.
Without hesitation, Tiffany turned the car around and headed for the hospital, as requested by Amelia. She knitted her brows along the way there, feeling puzzled.
When they reached the hospital, Amelia carried Tony and stepped into the elevator anxiously with Tiffany.
Shortly after, they were outside the ward. Dominic opened the door for them when Amelia knocked on it.
“Dad, did you call me because something happened to Spencer?” Amelia cut to the chase.
Nonetheless, Dominic only threw her a complicated glance. He moved aside and instructed, “Get in first.”
Perplexed, Amelia had no choice but to enter.
The moment she stepped into the ward, someone came into view unexpectedly.
She turned to look at Dominic. However, he avoided having eye contact with her and explained in embarrassment, “Mr. Hutton came all the way from Saspiuburg; he wished to see you. So I guess you should talk to him.”
Amelia twitched her lips without uttering any words.
“Mr. Hutton, it’s been a long time since we last met in Beshya! I thought you’ll not show up in front of us again. It never occurs to me that I’ll meet you here again. Apart from your tyrannical deed in Beshya, are you thinking of making a scene on others’ turf too?” Tiffany scoffed, her arms crossed on her chest.
Even so, Benjamin only shot her a glance.
Meanwhile, Dominic’s face fell. Pulling her aside, he lambasted, “Ms. Winters, how could you be so rude toward Mr. Hutton? Where are your manners? Even though you’re Amelia’s best friend, don’t you think you’ve to mind your manners?”
Flustered, Tiffany snickered. How ironic that a father would take an outsider’s side rather than his own daughter!
