Chapter 783
Chapter 783
After a period of chaos, Andrew and Ashley were dragged away by their parents. Before leaving, they waved their hands and asked Amelia to wait for them to come back from school.
But it was almost time for her to go to work so she could not wait for them to come back from school.
She looked down at herself and sighed. "How can we make bricks without straws? How should she go to work without suitable clothing?"
Fortunately for her, Nora came back after a short while.
Amelia went to her excitedly and asked confusedly. "Nora, aren't you taking the children to school?"
Nora replied, "Owen said that he can send them to school himself. He wants me to come over and keep you accompanied."
Amelia was so touched when she heard this. She pulled the hem of her nightdress and said, "Nora, can I borrow a set of formal attire from you? I was too tired last night and forgot to wash my dress..."
"Not a problem," Nora said as she stood in front of Amelia. At first glance, she was almost as tall as Amelia but Nora's bust measurement was slightly bigger than Amelia's.
Once Nora agreed. Amelia suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Then we need to hurry up.
Otherwise, I won't be able to catch the train!"
Nora was shocked when she heard what Amelia said. "Amelia, are you taking the train to work?"
Amelia nodded and said, "Yes."
"Has your car broke down?" Nora could only think of this possibility.
"Yeap..." Amelia answered with a mumble and she did not mention that Patrick had lighted up her car with a lighter.
Nora's expression calmed when she heard the affirmation. She brought Amelia to her room and opened her closet. She then told Amelia to pick out the clothes she liked.
Amelia did not hesitate at all. She picked up a pleated skirt and went into the bathroom to change into it.
When she came out, she heard Nora's praise, "This is the dress Owen gave me six years ago. It looks good on you."
Amelia looked surprised and said, "Then I'll change it to something else!"
"What? Wait, wait." Nora grabbed her hand and asked in confusion, "Why do you have to change?
Don't you like it?"
Amelia said uncomfortably, "Even if I liked it, it was still a gift from Owen after all."
Nora curled her lips and said, "Oh, it's fine, it's just a dress. I won't be offended at all, let alone you were the one who chose the dress first. I just said that it was Owen who bought it for me. Don't worry, I'm not jealous. I'm just being sentimental as I thought of how I look six years ago compared to how I was now after I gave birth to Andrew and Ashley."
Upon hearing this, Amelia calmed down a little. She was being sensitive about that family teacher's matter and was afraid that her actions would cause Nora to overthink.
"Oh right!" Nora smiled mysteriously at Amelia and said, "You probably didn't know that Patrick asked Huxton to come and pick you up in the middle of the night. In the end, he went out of words
as he was choked by Owen. He then requested to stay for the night probably because he was afraid that he would be punished by Patrick if he returned empty-handed."
Nora paused for a moment. She had said quite a lot but Amelia's focus was on the first half of the story. "Nora, what did you say? Did you say that Patrick sent Huxton to pick me up?"
Nora nodded her head lightly.
Amelia came to her senses and snorted. "Since he's being insincere, I won't go back!"
Nora chimed in and said, "Owen had said the same thing to Huxton too."
Amelia knitted her eyebrows and asked, "Nora, did you just said Huxton had stayed here for the night?"
Nora smiled. "You're right. Huxton is a good person. When I brought my children out, I realized that he had prepared breakfast in the kitchen. He even prepared two children meals for Andrew and Ashley. However I didn't saw him, I think he must have gone for some exercises."
Amelia felt that Huxton was very likely to have disappeared because he wanted to avoid Ashley.
Sure enough, she guessed it right.
Looking at Huxton who sneaked out from some unknown corner, the corners of Amelia's mouth twitched.
"Good morning, madam."
"Good morning." After greeting Huxton with a calm face, Amelia put her bag on and walked past him. She was intending to leave.
"Madam, are you going to work? I'll give you a ride." Huxton asked almost immediately as he carried a thermos flask and followed Amelia.
"Sure." Amelia did not refuse. After all, she did not have any conflicts with Huxton.
Hearing this, Huxton's expression looked a little better. He had indirectly completed the task of 'pick madam up', hadn't he?
Hey, there was still hope for his half-day holiday with Scarlett!
Looking at Huxton's excited expression, Amelia said nothing as she lowered her head and put on her hoes.
Seeing this, Huxton quickly calmed himself and put on his...slippers.
Amelia raised her eyebrows and said, "Huxton, you sure have some sense of fashion."
Huxton felt that he was being embarrassed as he said politely. "Please follow me, madam."
"Nora, what's this?" Amelia asked as she took a bag handed over by Nora. Before she could even open the bag to take a look, Nora gave her a smile and said "You've forgotten your dress."
"Oh... my bad" Amelia stuck her tongue out and felt sorry for her own bad habit of forgetting things behind.
Nora then reminded her, "Be safe when you're outside. If you have the time, remember to drop by for a cup of tea."
"Yes, I will!" Amelia said with a smile.
Just as Huxton was about to open the door, he saw a rather beautiful woman standing in front of the door. She reached out and was about to press the doorbell. When the woman saw Huxton opening
the door, she froze for a moment before lowering her hand slowly.
Huxton naturally regarded her as a guest and let her in gentlemanly.
"Thank you." The woman opened her mouth and showed Huxton her signature smile...
As the woman walked in, Amelia subconsciously looked at Nora and asked, "Nora, who is she?"
Nora did not say anything but she became tense immediately.
"Good morning, Ms. Clark." The woman stood still and greeted Nora. Her eyes, which were covered with thick mascara, swept through the room in an extremely rude manner. She did not see the man that she had been missing in her heart, and a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
At this moment, Nora said, "Ms. Shaw, you don't have to search for him. My husband had already brought them to school." This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing this, Yvette Shaw revealed a hint of transient anger on her face.
A moment later, she forced a smile and asked, "Ms. Clark, before the class was over yesterday, I promised them that I would send them to school today and check their vocab on the way. Why was everything changed when I got here?"
Suddenly Amelia understood everything and looked at 'Ms. Shaw' with a profound look. It turned out that this was the person Nora had to be aware of recently!
Nora said faintly, "I didn't know you had an agreement with my children."
Yvette gave a fake smile as she reminded, "Ms. Clark, I remember you've been listening to everything these past few days when I am giving the children lectures."
