“Jaso, what are you doing?”
Sophia hurried over and pulled Jaso away.
Jaso stared at her coldly.
“When you enjoy someone else’s kindness, you should know to bow your head.
Don’t think you’re really something.”
“Get lost!”
Jaso’s temper was very similar to Kallie Rayno’s, gentle and courteous towards others, excellent temper.
But he often clashed with the Second Branch of the Cobb family.
Linda Kent came and went quickly.
Amelia Cobb stared at Jaso, feeling a flutter in her heart.
Although the Cobb family sent their daughters for an alliance marriage, both Kallie Rayno and Jaso were very caring towards Amelia.
“How did you get hit by a car?”
Jaso was asking Amelia that question.
Amelia pursed her lips: “To save someone.”
“The premise to save someone is that you can protect yourself, Amelia.”
“In this world, the death of any person would at most make me sigh, but if anything happened to our family, we would feel heartbroken.
Do you understand that?”
Amelia’s heart suddenly felt like it had been shocked by an electric baton.
Any person’s death would only make her sigh.
So, her death, for some people, would be insignificant.
But for others, it would be a devastating blow.
Amelia’s heart seemed to be viciously hollowed out by a hand, not giving her a chance to catch her breath.
Did the people who designed all this feel the same way?
“Amelia?”
Jaso saw that she was silent and called her gently.
Amelia nodded, coming back to her senses.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I will be careful in the future.”
Jaso patted her head, looking relieved.
“Where’s dad?”
“He’s gone out.”
This night, Amelia was in the hospital.
The lights in the master bedroom of Orchard Garden were on.
At his computer, Christopher Robinson was replaying the video of Amelia rushing out during the day.
Her concise movements, decisive actions, and the moment she scooped up the child all showed that she had a strong foundation.
“Sir.”
Isaac Fenton came in and handed Christopher Robinson the information in his hand: “I checked Miss Cobb’s growth records and asked some people around her.
They all said she has never practiced any martial arts, and even her exercise is very limited.”
“Do you think the moment she rushed out today was something an ordinary person could achieve?”
Isaac Fenton was silent for a moment: “From my years of experience in the military, ordinary people can’t do that.”
“The Cobb family is really interesting,” Christopher Robinson’s smile deepened at the corner of his lips.
His eyes staring at the screen were gleaming with mysterious light.
“Sir, do you think the Cobb family is intentionally hiding something?”
Isaac Fenton seemed to catch a hint of something from Christopher Robinson’s words, but on second thought, it seemed impossible.
Amelia’s attitude could explain everything.
Christopher Robinson did not respond to Isaac Fenton’s question, but was pondering the whole process of the matter.
The man’s slender fingertips gently tapping on the table, one by one, clear rhythm.
“Have Sadie clean up the guest room next to the master bedroom.”
“Arrange it according to Miss Cobb’s preferences,” as if afraid Isaac Fenton’s explanation was not detailed enough, Christopher Robinson added this sentence.
Isaac Fenton admired Christopher Robinson.
A person who could play around in the Capital Mall had a lot of ability and means.
And all this, how could ordinary people like them know?
When Sadie learned of the news, she was stunned: “Is Sir planning to live together before marriage?”
“We can’t ask that,” Isaac Fenton replied.
Sadie knew she had asked too much and pursed her lips.
She nodded gently, indicating that she understood.
The third day.
There was continuous rain in the capital.
Dark clouds oppressed half of the city, making it hard to breathe.
When Amelia was discharged from the hospital, William Cobb deliberately diverted Kallie Rayno.
When Amelia saw him coming alone, she already knew everything.
Inside the car, she stared out the window, not knowing what kind of mood she was in.
Joy of rebirth?
No.
All she had was a heavy heart, a heavy stone pressed at the bottom of her heart.
“Amelia…” William Cobb tried to say something but stopped.
Amelia looked straight ahead without looking back: “If Orchard Garden is a dangerous place, would you still let me go?”
“A week ago, when Dad talked to you about his difficulties, you expressed understanding, Amelia.”
Amelia was slightly startled.
So, the matter of the alliance marriage was discussed with Amelia’s consent?
Her hand hanging by her side raised and fell on her knee.
It curled up somewhat unnaturally.
There were too many pitfalls, and she had almost fallen into them if she was not paying attention.
So her strong attitude these few days was a bluff?
All this was because of her own choice?
“I see.”
“Your luggage is in the trunk, I will try to get you home as soon as possible from Mr.
Robinson’s side.”
“Amelia…” As they waited for the traffic light, William Cobb called her gently.
He stared at Amelia, his eyes slightly reddened: “Wait for Dad for a while, Dad needs time to deal with all this.”
“Can I know what happened?”
William Cobb answered her question with silence.
Amelia was sitting in the passenger seat and watched the car drive into the Orchard Garden territory.
When the car stopped in the courtyard of Orchard Garden, she glanced at William Cobb: “Can I trust you?”
William Cobb looked at Amelia and nodded heavily without thinking: “Yes.”
“Amelia, you don’t need to be aggrieved to win Christopher’s love, be yourself.”
The last four words were said with extreme heaviness.
Amelia’s fingertips twitched slightly.
She got out of the car, and Sadie, accompanied by the servants, stood by her side and bowed slightly: “Welcome, Miss Cobb.”
“Mr.
Robinson is at the company, I’ll take you in.”
Amelia had seen Sadie a few times, but each time was a brief encounter.
This was the first time they had met like this.
As Amelia followed Sadie to the residential building, she seemed to hear something, and glanced back at William Cobb standing not far away.
This look was filled with too many emotions.
Amelia felt like a duckweed.
And the Cobb family was now her lifesaving rope.
She couldn’t let go at all costs.
“Your bedroom is next to Mr.
Robinson’s bedroom.
He said you can find him or me for anything in Orchard Garden.”
“You can move freely in the first floor area, and your activity area on the second floor is only the bedroom.”
Standing by the staircase, Amelia asked, “What about the third floor?”
“In Orchard Garden, everyone knows that the third floor of the residential building is forbidden.”
Without Mr.
Robinson’s permission, you cannot enter it at will.”
Amelia’s gaze moved slowly from the third-floor staircase.
Her eyes deepened.
“This is Miss Cobb’s room.”
Amelia looked at the pink room in front of her and almost felt like her eyes had gone blind.
“Can I change to a different room?”
Sadie looked at her: “You don’t like it?
Mr.
Robinson specifically ordered the room to be arranged according to Miss Cobb’s preferences.”
Amelia was startled inside, almost exposing herself again.
She shook her head slightly: “I just don’t want to be too close to Mr.
Robinson.”
