Chapter 760
Hearing the explanation from the butler, Amelia slowly put down her hands from her head. Even so, she could still feel her heart racing.
To have taken the wild beasts as his beloved pets itself was already ridiculous, not to mention that he had reared them in a free-range manner. It appeared to Amelia that Sawyer was possibly someone who was hard to get along with as what Kaiden had described.
Seeing that Amelia's face turned pale, Kaiden felt as if he had successfully revenged on her, "A pussy cat is capable of frightening you. Such a useless woman!"
Throwing a side glance in ensuring that the leopard had returned to the woods, Amelia sat back to the leathered seat in relief.
Then she glared at the man who was gloating at her and challenged him, "If you're such a capable person, why not you get down of the car and play catch with the pussycat?"
Kaiden's handsome face flushed. He mimicked Amelia's behavior just a moment before and glanced at both side of the car.
Seeing that the leopard had vanished himself in the woods, Kaiden turned around and said disdainfully, "This means nothing to me. Don't you think I'm as timid as you. Butler, stop the car now... Ah!"
Before he could finish his words, a bear came dashing in direction of the car window where Kaiden was sitting next to. With a slam on the window with its paw, he was so frightened to the extent that he could not help screaming frantically.
Amelia who was stunned at this scene, did not bother to laugh at Kaiden's timidity. In fact, she was too shocked to even come out with any responses!
Amelia was convinced that the so called beloved pets were all enormous in size and ferocious in nature. She felt like retreating at this moment.
She wondered if it was possible for her to change her mind. After all this, she did not think that she would still want to meet Sawyer in person and invite him for investment.
Right at this moment, the butler comforted them by saying, "Don't worry, every part of this car in particular the glass is unbreakable. I can assure you that the both of you will not be injured."
With that said, the butler shot a glance at Kaiden in frustration. While it was excusable for Amelia to be frightened since after all it was her very first time here, Kaiden had been living around here since he was small. There was no reason for him to be as timid as how he behaved at this moment.
He wondered if this would constitute a shame in front of his own fiancee.
Even Amelia who had came back to her sense asked, "Eh, aren't you the owner here as well?"
Hearing this, Kaiden glanced at Amelia and asked questionably, "Who told you that I'm the owner here?"
"You the one told me this." Amelia replied affirmatively, "Had you forgotten that you once told me that you owned a few mansions on this island."
Kaiden was chocked on his saliva. Amelia was confused upon seeing his face turning red in an instant.
The butler who was at the front driving had been listening to their conversation all this while. He caught the embarrassed expression of Kaiden from the rear view mirror. He could not help thinking of one possibility.
He wondered if Kaiden had tried to flatter his fiancee by bluffing that he owned several mansions here.
But such a possibility did not make sense to him. After all, Kaiden was in fact filthy rich. There was no need for him to make such a lie.
Under the pressure of gaze from both Amelia and the butler, Kaiden could not help feeling embarrassed. He had no other choice but try to cover the lie, "You're such a stupid woman! I was just kidding. My cousin is the only owner of the mansion here!"
Hearing this, Amelia replied, "Oh."
Kaiden was furious as he felt that he had been somehow looking down by Amelia, "What the hell do you mean by 'oh'?"
Amelia took a side glance at him and said, "It means I get it now. It is your fault for being such a terrible learner or that your teacher had never taught you this?"
Kaiden was left speechless.
"Puff..."
The butler was laughing heartily in his heart upon hearing her reply.
The Lincoln was moving forward at steady speed. There were wild animals of varying sizes dashing out from the woods and approaching their car from time to time.
Unlike the shock she had suffered at the beginning, she had turned numb seeing the animals after some time. Eventually, she was excited over seeing the beasts. She gripped on the leathered seat where the butler was sitting on and yelled, "Uncle Handsome, hurry! Let's get going!"
The butler was inexplicably moved by her excitement despite his old age.
With his foot slamming hard at the gas pedal, it did not take long for him to leave the beasts far behind from the car. The butler even asked for Amelia's opinion, "What do you think of my performance?"
"Superb!" Amelia stuck up her thumb in compliment.
The corner of Kaiden's mouth twitched. Apparently this woman had been taking this place as the zoo...
Half an hour later...
Amelia gotten off from the car safely. The mansions in front of her had left her in awe.
It was indeed true that Sawyer was filthy rich!
In that case, it was a wise option to get him into investing in Apex Construction Corporation!
Kaiden had gotten down from the car next. Upon seeing that Amelia was staring at the mansions, he could not help feeling proud, "Hey, did you see the mansions?"
Amelia could tell his arrogance from his tone. She could not help firing back, "It's not yours. What to be proud of now?"
"Although I don't own any of them, I'm the one who designed them!" Kaiden's eyes sparkled as he
spoke.
Amelia sized him up in a serious manner. Kaiden was no longer a mere good looking guy in her eyes at this moment. The key point was that she saw his feverish passion as an architect which was not a quality that every other architect would have possessed.
She could not help thinking that only such passion from an architect would give the houses designed their own unique identities.
Just as Kaiden was about to leave good impression on Amelia, she could hear him bragging again, "So, what you've seen now are not ordinary mansions. It's all from my talent!"
Amelia wondered how could she reply to him.
Not wanting to boast his confidence, Amelia said, "I don't see anything extraordinary. In fact, they looked packed as if they had muddled together."
Kaiden was made speechless. It sounded as if she had been describing poops.
"Please follow me." Upon locking the car, the butler spoke to Amelia and Kaiden politely.
Amelia withdrew her gaze from Kaiden and turned around to smile at the butler, "Then we'll have to trouble you, Uncle Handsome."
The butler reluctantly requested, "Miss, please call me 'Uncle Walker' will do when you are in there."
Amelia asked in a casual manner, "Uncle Walker, is it that you don't like me calling you 'Uncle Handsome'?."
"No, don't get me wrong. Master..."
Amelia could tell the reason why even if the butler had not made his words clear.
It seemed as if Sawyer was someone serious who would not allow people to simply crack a joke around.
Frowning, she wondered how could she conquer this man who appeared to be serious and having such a unique hobby of rearing wild beasts.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Glancing at Amelia's saddened face, Kaiden asked provocatively, "Dear mom of my child, aren't you desperate to meet my beloved cousin? Why aren't you cracking on? Or do you need me to carry you inside?"
Amelia squinted her eyes. All in a sudden she opened up her arms in gesture of hugging as she said, "Sure, come carry me..."
Shameless!
Kaiden glared at her before he stomped away.
Amelia curled her lips. There was no way for Kaiden would get to flirt with her.
