Finished

Amelia had not expected Raymond to say that. It seemed that his wife and sons still held a significant place

in his heart.

What truly captured all of Amelia’s attention were his final two sentences.

After hearing them, she agreed without hesitation. “Alright.”

Only after she answered did Raymond finally let out a long breath, as if a great weight had been lifted from

his chest.

With that burden eased, he looked at her, his emotions visibly mixed.

“Amelia, I always hoped you could grow up carefree, find someone you love who treats you well, marry him, and build a happy family.

“Jeremy is a good man. Seeing that you have found someone you can entrust your life to finally puts my mind at ease.

“But some things really do fall outside one’s plans. Since it seems you are destined to step into this mess, all I can ask is that you be careful, very careful.

“Some people are far more evil and frightening than you might imagine. If possible, keep your distance and stay on guard.”

Raymond spoke at length, as if moved by emotion, his words tumbling but one after another.

His voice was low and Plled with affection, like an elderly father offering earnest advice to his daughter.

It was also as though he had suppressed something for far too long and was finally able to say it out loud.

This was the first time Amelia had ever seen him like this.

No, to be precise, since her return after disappearing, she had never seen him this way.

When she was young, Raymond’s affection for her had been like that of any doting father.

He had held her as if afraid she might break, cherished

her as if she might melt away.

So why had he later stopped treating her that

ay, only to

show this side again now?

“What are you really trying to say?” Amelia could not help asking.

“Nothing much. I just think your mother and brothers are not bad at heart. They are simply too na kind, and they were taken advantage of.

“And it is my own incompetence, my failure to pull them back, that allowed them to be led around by the nose all this time.”

Raymond spoke almost to himself, though Amelia could still hear him.

Then he reached out and gently ruffled the top of her head.

“All I want is for you to walk forward with Jeremy, build a family that belongs to you, and live a steady, ordinary life together.”

After that, he stood up and left the private room.

It had been a very long time since someone had touched her head like that.

When she was younger, every time her father came home, he would do just that, patting her head and saying, “My treasure, Daddy missed you.”

Those memories, forcibly sealed away, were pried open just a little, gripping Amelia’s heart tightly.

She did not know why, but she felt an uneasy sense of foreboding.

It was as if he had just spoken his final words to her.

She could not tell what Raymond was planning this time, or whether he was setting some kind of trap.

Whatever his purpose, Amelia was undeniably affected.

The indifference she had cultivated cracked slightly, allowing a ripple of emotion through.

After Raymond had completely disappeared from the room, she shook her head sharply.

She forced those unnecessary feelings away.

Twenty minutes later.

“Amelia, are you alright?”

The moment Jeremy received her call and heard the unhappiness and unusual note in her voice, he drove over immediately.

“It’s nothing. I just feel a bit off, and I can’t quite explain it.”

Seeing that Jeremy had dropped everything and rushed over the moment she sounded unhappy made Amelia smile faintly.

She did not know what the future would bring, but at least for now, he was a very good partner.

She told him everything in detail, about Raymond coming to see her and everything he had said.

“Those words do sound a bit strange.”
