Chapter 210: You Remember?
"That’s a lot more shocking than the news I was intending to share," Amelia confessed, her eyes blinking in surprise.
"What was your news?"
"Oh nothing, only that Aiden would rather marry Ronan than Emmeline and he’s this close to begging him to stand at the altar for his wedding and take over his duties so that he can slack off as CEO," Amelia said breezily, and was rewarded with her fiancé’s horrified face. Matteo’s eyes were practically bugged out in shock.
"I’m guessing you’re against this relationship?"
"I’ll approve it over my dead body," Matteo said. "Even if Ronan liked men, I’m sure he wouldn’t have such bad taste. A playboy slacker? Perish the thought."
"Funny, I said something similar to him," Amelia said, amused, before turning serious again. "About Emmeline’s request... I’m sensing a ’but’ waiting in the wings."
It seemed awfully convenient that Emmeline would suddenly agree just days after Caleb had attempted to approach her. He had called her in the past few days after the thwarted attempt to ambush her at the hospital carpark, and Amelia took great joy in hanging up on him.
If he continued on in this manner, Amelia would decide to imitate a priestess or a telemarketer or scribble his number on random public toilets. She didn’t want to be this petty, but she could, if he gave her enough reason to.
Matteo nodded grimly. "She only consented to taking part in the test if we agreed to do it at the hospital of her choice. And she wants to be given legal immunity, regardless of the results of the test."
