After closing the door, Amelia Bright breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thank you.”
“Thank me for what?”
“For helping me out,” Amelia Bright backhandedly locked the door and walked past Farren Austin, crouching down in front of the bookcase and rummaging for something, “otherwise, I would have been counted again.”
“I see you don’t look too worried about being counted either.”
Farren Austin pushed his wheelchair closer.
At that, Amelia Bright smiled cheekily.
“I’m thick-skinned because I’ve been counted a lot.”
She fished out two buckets of noodles from the cupboard like a magic trick, turned her head and asked, “Want some?”
Farren Austin froze for a moment.
“Is that all you’re going to eat?”
“Or what?” Amelia Bright rubbed her stomach.
“I just went upstairs without eating a bite, and I’m starving.
Although the Austin family’s food is good, but there is often a weird atmosphere at the table can not eat, after being hungry a few times, Amelia Bright took the initiative to stock up on noodles and snacks, just in case.
Looking back and seeing Farren Austin looking at himself with astonishment, she suddenly came back to her senses, “Oh, I forgot, how can you eat this as a young master, when I didn’t say, when I didn’t say.”
After saying that, she turned around and tore open the ingredient packet, poured hot water, and by the way took a book and pressed it on the noodle bucket.
“Once upon a time when on a mission, noodles I ate more than you.” The man’s meaningful voice suddenly came from behind him.
Amelia Bright froze for a moment, only then remembering his identity as a former commander.
Two buckets of noodles, opened three minutes later, the rich smell of seasoning filled the room, it was not really delicious, but for the hungry Amelia Bright, it was the best taste on earth.
She ate a few big bites first, and when she looked up again, she saw Farren Austin with a slow and deliberate look, eating a bubble noodle can also eat a sense of spaghetti reserve, there is no one.
“If you all eat noodles like this when you are on a mission, when you finish eating, is the mission over?” Amelia Bright teased.
Farren Austin looked pale, “when the field operations, we basically carry compressed cookies, only at the border station can have the conditions to eat noodles, to really have an emergency mission, many times it is too late to eat.”
“Then what if you are hungry?”
“Hold on.”
Hearing this answer, Amelia Bright felt that she had just asked a question that was simply idiotic.
Farren Austin didn’t say much, and when he ate his noodles, he concentrated on eating them, leaving the room with only the sound of two people eating noodles in tiny bits and pieces.
“Next Saturday the old officer of the military district birthday, the family received an invitation, grandfather’s health is not good, so you go with me to attend.”
“Next Saturday?” Amelia Bright frowned.
Next Saturday happened to be when IM was getting ready to open.
“Can I not go?”
“Why? You have something to do?”
Amelia Bright’s eyes darted around and she wanted to say she was going back to her mother’s house, but considering that Farren Austin knew she wasn’t well liked in her mother’s family, it was a bit of a no-brainer to say she was going back.
“I’ve been busy with my company’s jewelry design, so I can’t find the time to come. You see, I have a commercial shoot with Emily Guan tomorrow, and I may not be able to finish it tomorrow, and if I can’t, it may have to be delayed until Saturday.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, why would I lie to you?” Amelia Bright straightened her back and said, “You see, I work hard for the company, for the company is for Dad, for Dad is for the Austin family, and after all, for you, so the party on Saturday, why don’t you … ”
“No.”
Farren Austin interrupted without waiting for her to finish, “You have to go.”
“Why do I have to go? It’s not like those people know me, and it doesn’t matter that you went out to the party without me before I came back.”
Farren Austin looked at her, his eyes suddenly dark, “Don’t use company business as a shield, I’m afraid it’s not company business you’re busy with out there.”
Amelia Bright’s heart thumped, the smile on her face stalled, “What do you mean by that? I don’t understand.”
“I am not interested in what you are busy with, but in my case, even the minimum obligations of a wife you need to do.”
This was said as if he knew something.
IM thing, Amelia Bright felt she was doing a very covert, but there is no guarantee that Farren Austin can find out, after all, his identity background, if you have the intention to check, check a business bureau of the record can dig her out.
She made a snap decision and denied it, saying
“I didn’t say no. Didn’t you just wait for me to finish?”
Farren Austin, without comment, reminded, “The old chief’s birthday banquet in the military district, the Liu family in the southern military district will also come, Jackson Liu before the old chief’s subordinates, you be mentally prepared.”
After saying this, he casually picked up the newspaper next to him.
“The Liu family is also coming, who is it?”
“Jackson Liu’s wife, Caden Qiu, and his brother-in-law, Dru Qiu, you met them both three years ago.”
Amelia Bright was lost in thought.
She always felt that Farren Austin’s words were hinting at something, or warning her about something. The reason he had to go by himself to the birthday party on Saturday probably had something to do with the Liu family coming to town.
Three years ago, he went to jail for him. Farren Austin had mentioned to her before that he was going to reopen the matter back then if he had the chance.
Following Amelia Bright’s memory, she went through the day of the incident three years ago.
When Amelia Bright just married into the Austin family, because the former in the Bright family is not valued, so the size of the party also did not participate in a few times, not very up on the stage, once you see the big scene is very nervous.
The Liu family was at a diplomatic banquet, and the people who came were all the bigwigs in the military district, all gods, and Farren Austin was at best a junior leader among these people, and had to salute and call out to anyone who met him.
That diplomatic banquet is almost the standard of the state banquet, when going, Erlina Lee has repeatedly admonished her, let her follow Farren Austin, do not run around, when the time to lose face, home no good fruit to eat.
So at that time Amelia Bright with such a mind, suddenly found Farren Austin missing when, is already panicked, so rushed to find, which found out what happened.
The memory of ‘himself’ when pushing open the door of a guest room in the lounge on the second floor of the diplomatic banquet, saw a very unpleasant scene, Farren Austin and a woman lying on the bed, although covered with a quilt, but from the woman’s smooth shoulders can be seen, the bottom is naked.
And at that time, the house inside, filled with a strong ‘after’ atmosphere.
Amelia Bright’s heart was as heavy as a thousand pounds of stone, just like the scene when she saw Riley Shen and her sister lying naked in bed, and now saw her husband and a strange woman.
But she soon realized that something was wrong.
