Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)

Chapter 879

Acknowledging his invitation, Amelia straightened her dress before she sat right next to him. This would mean that Sawyer was just sitting opposite of her. Seeing this, Sawyer raised his brow unnoticeably. There were empty seats on both of his right and left hands yet Amelia had chosen to sit right next to his cousin. He wondered if this was her trick to keep him wanted while not letting go of Kaiden.

"Ms. Amelia." He abruptly stood up from his seat with his hand holding a wine glass. He then toasted a drink at Amelia, "I would like to express my gratitude through this meal. I hope you enjoy yourself." Simon had already filled her glass when Sawyer was speaking.

As soon as Sawyer finished his words, Simon diligently brought the glass of wine to Amelia and whispered, "Ms. Ramsay, the alcohol content of this wine is low. It's not a strong liquor."

Feeling relieved, she took the glass from Simon and replied, "Thank you."

Simon smiled at her before he walked towards Kaiden and subsequently filled his glass.

Amelia knew that it was time to express her gratitude in return. Picking up the glass, she toasted the glass back at Sawyer, "You're too humble, Mr. Quartley. It is a scrumptious meal today. I'm more than honored."

She mentioned nothing of the incident of the monkey's brain. Seeing that there was not even a hint of fear in her eyes but a seemingly sincere smile, Sawyer could not help pursing his lips.

Had he not witnessed how she ran out from the house by himself, he would probably think that she had not seen the dish of monkey's brain.

"It's my pleasure." With that said, Sawyer raised his wine glass along with Amelia and Kaiden who were both standing up to drink with him.

Each of them emptied their respective glasses with unspoken thoughts in their mind. All of a sudden, Sawyer glanced at Simon and said, "Go and bring Abner down. He can have dinner with us." When Abner was brought to the table by Savannah, Amelia took a glance at him. She wondered if Sawyer's behavior had frightened Abner when he was small which was why he had acted like an introvert. She could not imagine what impact would it leave to a small kid like Abner if he ever saw the dead monkey being served on the dining table.

In the midst of thought, Savannah had already settled Abner down on his seat.

To her surprise, Savannah had let Abner sitting next to her.

observant servant. Upon noticing that Amelia was confused, she hurriedly asked, "Ms. Ramsay, you're not used to communicating with kids, are you?" Amelia raised her eyebrows immediately. She could not have acted as if she was not used to dealing with kids, not when Sawyer had just assigned her with the task of helping Abner. "No, it's not like this.
