Chapter 1656

"Hello." Across the fence in the garden, Amelia said, "I don't remember having an appointment with you."

"Does that mean I can't come without having an appointment with her? She's so unapproachable. She forgot that she invited me into her house for a chat when we first met," Rebecca thought to herself.

Rebecca would not take Amelia's refusal for an answer. In other words, Rebecca had to go into the house.

"Amelia, I came with blessings and sincerity. I hope you won't shut me out."

Blessings? Sincerity? Amelia looked at Rebecca's amiable face, and she almost mistakenly assumed that Rebecca was here to acknowledge Amelia as her relative.

However, it was irrefutable that the Simmons family had been ignorant to Amelia for so many years regardless if she was Petty's 'daughter' or Patrick's wife.

Thus, that was also the reason Amelia could not get herself enthusiastic towards the Simmons family. She felt that their actions would all become futile attempts in the end.

Whether it was for Petty or Amelia as an orphan, all had become irredeemable under Derrick's incitement. So, everything the Simmons family were doing to make up for their mistakes was going to go in vain.

Rebecca blinked, and she looked quite pitiful. "Amelia, since I'm elder to you, can you invite me into your house? My legs are getting sore."

At that, Amelia silently glanced at the car behind Rebecca as if indicating for her to sit in the car.

At Amelia's reaction, Rebecca turned her face away and said to the driver, who looked like a Christmas tree that was hanging with a lot of gifts, "Okay, give me the gifts. Pull the car to the parking lot."

"Yes, madam," replied the driver as he handed the gifts to Rebecca.

When Rebecca turned back to Amelia, she appeared even more exhausted. "Amelia, look. Not only are my legs sore now, but my hands are hurting too."

All of a sudden, Amelia felt that Rebecca was a handful to deal with.

During the stalemate, Rebecca kept holding onto the bags of gifts instead of putting them on the ground.

After this went on for a while, Amelia finally raised her hand and unlocked the fence between them. Amelia said, "If you're here to bribe me so that I'll allow you to visit my father, you can go back now."

When Rebecca saw how Amelia's actions and words were contradictory, Rebecca smiled even more broader. "Amelia, I bought a Burberry necktie for your husband. I believe he'll like it a lot."

The indirect way to please someone was to target the person's beloved. From the moment Amelia guarded against the Simmons family for George, Rebecca felt that Amelia was a person who put her loved ones before herself. In that case, it was necessary to fawn Patrick to get on her good side.

Amelia narrowed her eyes. "You don't have to go to such expense. He can buy whatever he wants."

After a pause, she turned to Rebecca and said, "Please come in."
