Chapter 755
Chapter 755
Amelia lost count on how many time had she flipped her hair to the back of her ears. She was really in a bad mood as she had been searching for the button for the window for a while but she just could not find it.
Thinking that Kaiden's car was as eccentric as his character, Amelia gave up. Instead, she turned to Kaiden who was driving and asked, "Kaiden, can you close the window?"
"What?" Kaiden said absent-mindedly. He was focused on enjoying the faint fragrance from Amelia's hair.
He would never tell her that he kept the window open on purpose. It was the first time that he had experienced the feeling of being enchanted by someone's hair since he was born. It made him feel terrified but somehow expectant.
Perhaps... the woman sitting next to him was the one who could cure him of his Misogyny!
Although Kaiden was not speeding and Amelia's hair would not be blown away. Amelia was really getting irritated because her long hair was flying wild!
She tilted her eyes and saw that her hair was fondling Kaidens. However, Kaiden was as calm as a millpond and did not complain at all.
As if he had noticed her gaze, Kaiden said, "As a matter of fact, you look better if you don't tie your hair."
Amelia replied with a 'thank you’ dismissively because she believed that Kaiden was sugar-coating his words just to deceive her again.
But that was not the case.
After Amelia untied her ponytail, her shoulder-length long hair made her face smaller and much prettier. If it were not for her identity and the clothes she wore all day long, she would look as good as a 20-year-old university student.
As her husband, Patrick had never told her these words.
Over time, Amelia began to ignore her appearance. Perhaps this was Patrick's ultimate goal, he wanted to weaken the innate advantage brought by her appearance so that she would not seduce any other men.
A familiar ringtone interrupted their conversation. Amelia had not put her phone down since the call with Patrick. She lowered her head and saw Audrey's name floating on the screen.
Amelia was shocked. After hearing that Kaiden was willing to take her to Sawyer's banquet, she was so happy that she forgot to call the company and ask for a leave.
She swiped through the answer button and said 'hello' gently. Since Audrey was a newcomer introduced by Jonathan, she did not want to scare Audrey by her tone.
Audrey asked weakly, "Director Ramsay, the company's regular meeting will start soon. When... when will you be here?"
Amelia sighed and explained, "I have something urgent at the last minute, I couldn't make it to the meeting."
"What?" Her tone changed a little. "If you are not here, we will not have a leader to make the necessary decisions..."
Amelia grinned. She was pleased as Audrey called her as 'a leader'.
It turned out that she had unconsciously risen to such a high position in the eyes of the employees in the company.
Ahem, but in fact, sometimes this was just a compliment from the subordinates to their boss.
"Audrey," Amelia called out her assistant's name lightly. "Tucker is a trusted assistant of mine. He will be in charge of today's regular meeting."
Kaiden listened to the conversation aside quietly. If he were to get rid of all his negative emotions towards Amelia. Her voice was actually very soothing and comforting. For him, women were always noisy and annoying, but this time... This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
He was thinking of whether Amelia could call his name using the tone she had just used on Audrey...
Oh no! He seemed to have sunk deeper into her enchantment.
Not knowing how much time had passed. Kaiden's car finally came to a stop when Amelia started to doze off.
Amelia's head followed the momentum and accidentally hit the glass window beside her. Her eyelashes trembled and she asked in confusion, "Have we arrived?"
"Nope. It's just a petrol station."
As Kaiden spoke, he glanced at Amelia. Seeing the look of exhaustion on her face, he had a strange feeling in his heart. Wasn't she worried that he would do something to her if she fell asleep?
A petrol station?
Amelia looked out of the window and saw an oil tank in front of her. She took her sight back and looked helplessly at Kaiden. "How long will it take to get to Mr. Quartley's place?"
Kaiden was very familiar with the route to the Streams villa. "For the remaining journey, we would travel a while more by car, then we would switch to a boat to complete the rest of the journey to Quartley's island."
Upon hearing this, Amelia almost slipped off the leather seat.
"You're not joking with me, are you? We will be travelling by water?" Amelia was stunned as she looked into the sky. The sun was shining dimly and it was getting late.
Kaiden said in a matter-of-factly tone, "Otherwise, how could my cousin's whereabouts be considered mysterious? When you arrive on his island, you will understand why those paparazzi could not dig out any of his news!"
"Wait, you said...your cousin has an island?" Amelia was completely scared out of her wits. She made a circle with both her two hands and said, "If this is the Land of Fragrance. How big is Mr. Quartley's island?"
Kaiden's gaze swept across Amelia's 'hand-made circle' and said with disdain, "Even if you bend your body into a circle, it's still far from the size of the Streams Villa.
What the f*ck!
Amelia felt that not only she but also the people on the Land of Fragrance had been insulted!
Seeing her anger, Kaiden's eyes rolled and he asked with malicious intent, "Don't tell me you're feeling ashamed because the Land of Fragrance is smaller than the Streams Villa"
Amelia yawned as if she had heard nothing. Well, there was still one-third of the land traffic, so she could sleep for a while.
Seeing Amelia turn her face away, Kaiden took it as he had triggered her. He then added, "Hey, if you think the Land of Fragrance isn't big enough, you can move to the Stream Villa. I have a few villas there!"
The latter half was obviously made up by Kaiden. Although Sawyer had lots of villas on that island, it was all his personnel belongings and he did not intend to share them with anyone. Not even with Ryan nor Abner, his own father and son.
Amelia felt ridiculed by Kaiden's invitation. The Land of Fragrance was her home. Why would she be at the Stream Villa instead of being at home?
"Humph, if it weren't for the investors, I would have taken Kaiden to the Royal Joy Club to 'serve' the guests!" thought Amelia.
Amelia chose to avoid the topic but Kaiden did not want to let her go. "Hey, why are you not saying anything?"
"I felt asleep."
Kaiden was speechless. How could she talk when she was asleep? What a liar!
Kaiden held back his urge to pinch Amelia on her neck. He then paid the petrol fees to the station attendant and continued on the journey to Sawyer's island.
