Amelia's gaze was shed with different light. She reached out her phone in the pocket and said, "Considering that you're still quite cooperative, I can call her now."
Huxton could not help feeling overjoyed.
Seeing that Huxton could no longer resist his excitement, Amelia suddenly said, "Nonetheless, you have to apologize to her for your behavior the other day. Not only that, you can't chase her away as you wish in future. She is my doctor, only I can decide whether she should stay or leave!"
After a while.
Amelia finally heard Huxton saying in an almost inaudible voice, "Alright..."
"Okay, I'll call her now." Amelia replied without hesitation.
Huxton's tensed expression relaxed a little. However, as soon as he saw Amelia dialed a series of number and pressed the call button, he could feel his heart racing again.
After a moment of silence, Amelia spoke softly to the phone, "Hello? Is this Dr. Scarlett? I'm Amelia..."
He could not hear what had the person said over the phone replied. However, he could see that Amelia looked surprised all in a sudden and she exclaimed exaggerating^, "What? You're Dr. Scarlett's boyfriend?"
As soon as Amelia's voice fell, Huxton's always emotionless expression changed as if he was struck by a lightning.
Amelia secretly glanced at Huxton. At first glance, she could tell that Huxton was struck by this bad news and that he was truly disappointed.
Amelia could hear a confused female voice speaking at the other end of the call, "Boyfriend? What are you saying, Ms. Amelia? It's me, Dr. Scarlett. I don't have any boyfriend..."
During this period of time, Amelia let out a few strange cries which completely covered Dr. Sacrlett's voice from echoing.
In the face of Huston's insidious gaze, Amelia suddenly gasped. She slammed on the table and stood up immediately before she shouted at Scarlett who could not be any more confused, "What?! Mr. Larson, you said that you are getting married with Dr. Scarlett this coming June? Does that mean you will become her husband after this? How can she hide such a big news from me... Mr. Larson, can you do me a favor and pass the phone to Dr. Scarlett? I must scold her now. Um... Alright, I can
wait..."
The next second, Amelia suddenly changed to a familiar tone and said angrily, "Dr. Scarlett, this is your fault. Why didn't you tell me that you have a boyfriend? I have always taken you as my friend... Hey! Huxton! Why are you snatching my phone?!"
Amelia shifted her gaze and pretended to stare at the restlessly anxious man in anger.
"Let me talk to her." His expression and tone were icy cold.
With that said, Huxton took over her phone without waiting for her permission. He spoke to the phone "Its me."
Dr. Scarlett was already in the middle of confusion after speaking to Amelia. She subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"
Couldn't she even recognize his voice anymore?
Huxton's heart sank. He fired away his question, "Where are you now?"
Dr. Scarlett replied in a daze, "At home."
Huxton frowned and shouted, "Give me your address!"
Dr. Scarlett blurted out her address without hesitation.
A hint of determination flashed across his eyes,
"Don't leave! I'm coming over now!"
With that said, he threw the phone at Amelia and stormed away!
After hearing the loud bang of door slamming shut, finally Amelia no longer had to resist herself from laughing!
She slammed so hard at the dinning table that she did not bother to care if she had misbehaved, "How can Huxton be so funny..."
Hold on!
Amelia suddenly felt a chill running down her spine.
She almost forgot that Huxton might have installed voice tapping device on her. She must be extremely careful not to expose herself at this very moment.
Kaiden quickly added, "Heh, so are you now admitting that your name is 'stupid woman'?"
Amelia was stunned upon hearing this. When she had finally came to her sense, she realized that Kaiden had been making fun of her without she noticed it!
Amelia's delicate face was then painted with annoyance. She was unwilling to say anything more.
Kaiden asked again, "Back to the topic, have you arrived home?"
"I'm already home!" Amelia replied in a bad mood.
"Good that you're home! I'll end the call then."
Kaiden hung up the phone without any hesitation. Amelia was left without any chance to fire back at him.
"Just left like this after he had done playing the fool of me?" Hearing the beep sound from the phone, Amelia gritted her teeth. She swore to herself that she would not let go of him had she seen him next time.
At afternoon four o'clock.
Amelia was a little sleepy after looking through the documents for the entire afternoon. She stood up and went downstairs to fill herself a glass of water.
At the first floor living room.
Right at the time when Amelia was bending over to fill a glass of hot water from the electric kettle, she heard the sound of door opening.
She immediately straightened herself.
Amelia wondered curiously if Huxton had came back with his woman at this time.
However, when she tiptoed to the door, what she saw was a man dressed in a tailor-made and expensive suit.
As soon as she met with his emotionless eyes, Amelia's hands which were holding the glass of hot water could not help but tremble in an instant. Consequently, the hot water in it spilt over on her delicate hand.
