Amber withdrew her gaze and smiled, "Ms. Gardner, I didn't know you were coming, and I didn't know what you liked to eat. I hope you can forgive me for that."

"I heard from Carter that after Peter saved him all those years ago. Since then, he's been visiting often. He's come to think of you all as family. A family wouldn't be so formal, would they?" Tiffany rolled her eyes at my words. "Hypocrite."

"Tiffany, you can't be rude. Ms. Gardner, please take a seat and rest for a moment. Why don't you come help me in the kitchen?"

"Aunt Amber!"

"Come on." Amber placed the fruit platter down and shot a malicious look at Tiffany as she left.

The look sent a chill down my spine.

If Taylor's gaze reminded me of a venomous snake lurking in a cave, then Amber felt like a snow spirit from a chilling legend.

Her beauty was unmatched, but when it came to taking lives, she was merciless and cold.

She gave me a sense of depth that felt hard to fathom, and my instincts told me to be cautious around her.

Tiffany clearly feared her aunt more than she let on. Though she seemed unwilling, she didn't dare defy her.

I had many conversations with Peter, and I quickly realized he was incredibly knowledgeable.

He was kind, like the friendly neighbor uncle everyone wished for.

While Carter played chess with him, I stood beside them, feeding him fruit.

The Doltons were nothing like I had imagined. I initially thought the trip would be uncomfortable, but as long as Tiffany wasn't around, Carter seemed to get along well with them. Several times, when they were deeply focused on the chessboard, I had the distinct feeling that they were truly a family, far more harmonious than when he was with the Boltons. Amber had arranged a grand spread for dinner, with about 80 percent of the dishes being Carter's favorites.

If it wasn't a coincidence, then it was clear she had made them specifically for him.

The villa was huge, and it was obvious they had servants, yet Amber still insisted on cooking herself.

I could find an excuse for Tiffany-she was trying to win Carter over, after all. A way to a man's heart was through his stomach.

But Amber didn't have such an agenda. Was she really just being kind?
