Chapter 864 Tony Is Thoughtful

After resting for a day, Amelia met up with Teddy, who gave her a warm hug. Smiling, he said, “Welcome, Ms. Winters. I believe your talent in design will shine.”

Amelia returned the hug and said, “You can just call me Amelia, Mr. Rice. Ms. Winters sounds too formal.”

“Then, please address me as Teddy. Our ages aren't too far apart, anyway.”

Amelia nodded, grinning. “Sure.”

With that, Teddy took her around the school she was enrolling, explained its history, and introduced her to the principal and professors. Perhaps it was Teddy introducing her personally that made the big shots scrutinize her.

Using the local language, Teddy praised, “She's an extremely talented woman. With me as her mentor, she'll one day make a name for herself in the design industry.”

When the principal and the professors heard that, they nodded at Amelia, making her wonder if Teddy told them something about her.

Once Amelia had met everyone, Teddy said, “Let's go have a meal. You've come all the way from Chanaea. As the host, I must treat you to our local dishes.”

“Thank you, Teddy,” Amelia said with a smile.

“Don't be so formal. We're going to be colleagues in the future. I believe we'll become great partners.”

“I look forward to it.”

With that, Amelia had a meal with them before Teddy sent her home to the apartment Kurt bought.

“Well, this is my place. Would you like to come up for a cup of coffee?” Amelia asked out of politeness.

“Oh, I'll be honored to, but I still have matters to deal with at the company. Next time, perhaps? I look forward to drinking Chanaea's Black Ivory Coffee.”

“All right, go ahead with your work. I brought many types of coffee from Chanaea. Feel free to get some from me if you like them.”

“I can't replicate the taste even if I did. I prefer to have one made by you. Anyway, I should get going. I look forward to a piece of great work from you.”

Amelia bobbed her head.

Soon, Teddy drove away. Just as she was about to turn around to enter the building, she saw Kurt standing at the entrance. The sight of him stunned her momentarily, but she quickly snapped out of it and walked over hesitatingly.

“Why are you here, Kurt?” asked Amelia as she arrived before him.

Gazing at her, Kurt explained with a smile, “I was worried about you, so I came down to wait. I can accompany you when you go to school next time. After all, you're not familiar with this place yet. It makes me worry a lot.”

Amelia merely flashed him a smile and changed the topic. “Let's go up. I miss Tony.”

Kurt's gaze darkened, but he still entered the elevator after her.

While waiting for the elevator to come to a stop, Amelia fixed her gaze on her reflection, not knowing what to say to Kurt. Suddenly, the atmosphere turned awkward.

Kurt glanced at her and smiled. “Amelia, I made your favorite soup. Make sure to have more of it later. You look like you've lost some weight these days.”

Amelia lowered her gaze as if she thought of something. Then, she lifted her head and said politely, “Thank you, Kurt.”

The hopeful look in Kurt's eyes gradually disappeared, and an ache appeared in his heart.

He opened his mouth to say something but decided to swallow the words instead.

Not long after, the elevator door opened. Amelia was about to step out when Kurt finally blurted, “Amelia, can we go back to how things were in Beshya?”

Amelia halted. In the end, she sighed and turned around, saying, “Kurt, I don't want to waste your time. You've always been like family to me. I really hope you can get married and have children. I don't want you to be lonely for the rest of your life.”

Kurt smiled a smile that made his stern expression melt away.
