Sawyer revealed his explosive requirement. "I want you to tell my parents that you're dating me."
Amelia was astounded. After a long pause, she asked, "You must be out of your mind. Why will you ignore your real girlfriend and ask me for help?"
"My parents don't like Sissi. If I bring her to them, she'll be in a dangerous situation." It was rare for him to explain so much.
"Then why do you think your parents will like me? Your mother has warned me to stay away from you!"
"At least my dad likes you." Sawyer spoke the truth with some displeasure.
If Ryan had half the pleasant impression of Sissi of what he had of Amelia, Sawyer and Sissi would not have been separated for so many years!
"You..." Wait, why should Amelia refuse his request?
She could take the opportunity to ask Ryan for help!
Sawyer noticed the secret joy on Amelia's face, so he warned, "Forget about the tricks, as you're won't be able to bear the consequences! If you dare to expose anything, I promise that you'll give birth to a stillborn after ten months of pregnancy."
Amelia's heart stopped for a second, and she cursed Sawyer, "You're a devil!"
Sawyer replied as if he had not heard her, "Get up and wash up. You need to look more refreshed to meet the elders."
Sawyer then reached out his slender and fair hand at Amelia. Though his hands were clean, they were tainted with the blood of his victims, and Amelia and her child might join the list too. With that thought in mind, Amelia could not help but shook his hand away.
When his hand was slapped away, an unknown emotion flashed across Sawyer's eyes.
In this regard, Amelia and Abner were alike. They both wanted to get away from his hands whenever there was a disagreement.
To prevent Amelia from disrupting his plan in impulse, Sawyer faintly said before they headed downstairs, "Do you know why my parents came here?"
Amelia replied casually, "To see you and Abner, of course." "You're only half right. The real reason they're here is that..." Sawyer paused timely before he looked at Amelia and continued, "Abner wanted to rescue you with the help of his grandparents."
Amelia asked in confusion, "So, it was Abner who asked them to come? That's strange. How did he know you've put me under house arrest?"
As they spoke about this, Sawyer got furious as he just realised he had been careless in the face of beauty. "Don't ask!"
Why was he so rude and impulsive?
Sawyer was the one who started the topic, yet he got mad at her. What a psycho!
Although Amelia despised Sawyer, Amelia did not miss the opportunity to find out more about it. "But, Uncle and Auntie don't seem to know that I'm here with you."
If Abner had revealed her situation, Ruth would not have reacted that way when she was upstairs.
"That's what's clever about Abner. He didn't tell them you were here because he was afraid that my parents wouldn't be moved. So, he took my phone and deceived them by claiming that he had a fever while texting in my style. That's why my parents rushed here without hesitation."
After Amelia listened to his explanation, her heart clenched.
Abner had done such things without Sawyer's permission. Sawyer would surely give him a beating!
When Amelia thought about the thin boy who would seemingly get broken into pieces from just a touch, Amelia could not help but ask, "Sawyer, he's your child. You didn't do anything to him, right?"
Sawyer was satisfied with Amelia's response, which was anger mixed with concern and guilt. Although it was a little disgraceful, those were his bargaining chips in controlling her. "Although Abner's my son, I won't allow him to oppose me for an outsider! If you don't do what I say later, then..."
Abner, who was summoned, stiffly turned his face over and answered softly, "Hmm."
When Ruth saw that Abner had replied absent-mindedly, Ruth assumed that he was only ignorant because he was a kid. "Okay, I won't bother you. Keep watching the
n
cartoons.
Truth be told, Abner was no longer in the mood to watch the cartoons. The words 'getting intimate with his girlfriend' echoed in Abner's mind as he wondered if Amelia was in trouble.
Just as Ryan rushed to the washroom, Sawyer led a graceful woman into Ruth's sight.
"Sawyer, you're here..." Ruth, who was showing a kind smile at first, froze when she saw that the woman behind Sawyer was Amelia.
"Mom." Sawyer ignored Amelia's evasive gesture and grasped her hand with great precision and might as he gripped her tightly in his palm, not letting her escape. "She's my girlfriend that I told you about."
Not only Ruth but even Abner was shocked. Amelia's hand felt like it was burning from the tight grip, so she said to Sawyer with disgust, "Let me go."
Sawyer turned to her with a smile, but he then said in an extremely low voice, "Have you forgotten about what I told you?"
Amelia immediately froze.
Sawyer then said loudly to comfort her, "There's no need to be shy Haven't you already met my family?"
Amelia ground her teeth and thought to herself that Sawyer was a b*stard. He should have submitted for Oscars when he was so skilful in acting!
