Chapter 178 A Conversation That Felt Strangely Familiar
When the call connected, Amelia had no idea that Benjamin was with other people.
She let out a small huff, assuming Benjamin had found out she had secretly watched the recording and was calling to interrogate her.
To avoid being questioned, Amelia decided to strike first.
“Benjamin, now I finally know where Nina’s bad temper comes from. She got dad!”
Benjamin paused for two seconds, then accepted the accusation.
“Mm. That’s
my fault.”
Their voices were not loud, but everyone present heard them clearly.

Jane laughed softly, “Benjamin, so you’re actually quite good at coaxing people.”
Jane’s teasing, spoken with a smile, made Mia dig her nails into the sofa cushion.
She wanted to be the one Benjamin coaxed like that.
She had coveted Benjamin for a very long time.
While Mia simmered in jealousy, Amelia, who was on the video call with Benjamin, also heard Jane’s remark.
She froze for a second, and then her ears turned bright red.
“Benjamin, y-you’re with other people?” she stammered.
Amelia had been lounging casually against the sofa. The moment she realized someone was there, she hurriedly sat up straight.
Seeing how upright she suddenly became, the corner of Benjamin’s mouth lifted slightly.
“No need to be so nervous. I’m with Mrs. Wilson.” As he spoke, he asked her opinion. “Mrs. Wilson would like to see you. Would you like to say a few words to her?”
Amelia opened her mouth. She’d wanted to say she had no idea what to talk to Jane about, but when the words reached her lips, they turned into a polite “yes.”
Since Jane wanted to see her, she couldn’t refuse.

Amelia had always been gentle by nature.

Benjamin knew that too, which was why he had made the suggestion to Jane in the first place.
“Amelia, Mrs. Wilson has a very gentle temperament. You don’t need to feel restrained. You can just chat naturally.”
After reassuring Amelia, Benjamin handed the phone to Jane.
Jane had not spoken with a stranger for a long time.
Before taking the phone, she was actually a little nervous.
But once she held it and saw Amelia on the screen, for some reason, the tension in her heart disappeared completely.
Her gaze fixed on Amelia’s beautiful face, and the longer she looked, the harder it was to look
away.
Amelia made her feel comfortable.
“You’re Amelia?” Jane asked softly, looking at her.
Amelia was also looking at Jane.
She nodded. “I am. Mrs. Wilson, did Nina cause you any trouble today at your place?”
Amelia was not very good at chatting, but seeing Jane’s face, she suddenly wanted to talk to her a little more.
She could not think of any other topic, so she naturally brought up Nina.
Jane smiled. Her smile was gentle and warm.
“Nina is very well-behaved. She didn’t trouble me at all. You’ve raised her very well. She’s very lovable. You are too.”
Jane’s praise made Amelia inexplicably happy.
Her eyes curved as she modestly replied, “Mrs. Wilson, I’m not that likable.”
Since childhood, she had been disliked and treated harshly by her adoptive parents. Later, she had been isolated at school. After that, when she entered the entertainment industry to work, she was criticized and attacked again.
Plenty of people had taken a dislike to her over the years.

She was not insecure because of it, but she was self-aware.

She knew she was not the kind of person who was naturally adored by everyone.
“Nonsense. How could you not be likable?” Jane disagreed firmly. “Amelia, I like you the moment I see you.
“If you have time, could you talk with me more often?”
“I can!” Amelia replied immediately. “I’ve got a lot of free time lately!”
