Having said that, Jennifer looked at Amelia’s belly subconsciously. “Are you perhaps pregnant, Ms. Winters? It looks like you are.”

Amelia’s expression stiffened a little. Then smiling, she said, “It’s just that I’ve been overindulging myself recently and have gained some weight.”

Jennifer grinned. “I’m sorry. But from the look of your belly, it seems that you’re pregnant.”

Amelia replied, “What keen eyes you have, Ms. Larson. I’ve tried to disguise it with loose-fitting clothes, but I didn’t expect you to notice it.”

Jennifer grinned.

Amelia added, “Carter, Ms. Larson is your friend anyway. You should send her home first. I will take a walk alone.”

Carter wanted to take her hand, but he put his hand down on second thought. “Let me take you home, Amelia. You’re all wet.”

Amelia noticed the other lady’s unpleasant expression, but she nodded and said, “Let’s go.”

Carter could not hide his grin and his mood seemed to have brightened a little.

Upon arrival at the neighborhood where she lived, Amelia opened the car door and said, “Thanks for the ride, Carter.”

Carter quickly unfastened his seat belt, got out of the car, and said, “Amelia, wait up.”

Amelia paused in her track, then turned her head to glance at Carter who was walking toward her. “Carter, what’s the matter?”

Carter took off his suit jacket. “Put this on. Be careful not to catch a cold. Call me if anything happens.”

Amelia wanted to take off the suit, but Carter grabbed her hand and insisted, “Amelia, put it on.”

“You should leave your suit for your lady. Save the courtesy toward my wife, please.” Oscar’s voice was heard from afar. Amelia traced the voice and discovered the former leaning against the car.

Amelia’s eyes twinkled. She took off Carter’s suit and gave it back to him, saying, “It’s getting late, Carter. You should go and send Ms. Larson back.”

Carter nodded and returned to his car.
