Amelia Bright sounded sure of herself, as if she had already planned to do so.
After the Austin Jewelry’s anniversary, she was going to personally go to the mountains to deliver something to those children, something she had thought of long ago and was just telling him about it.
Farren Austin closed the book in his hand, “I heard from Dad that the Austin Jewelry’s anniversary celebration was held in the form of a charity show, which you suggested?”
“Yeah.”
Amelia Bright was busy counting the things she bought, and responded perfunctorily.
“Why did you suddenly think of doing a charity?”
“Charity is also a marketing tool, what’s the point of thinking about it, I’m smart.”
“You’re not going to tell me that you went to buy these things yourself simply for marketing purposes, are you?”
Amelia Bright’s hand on the drawing board gave a slight pause.
Farren Austin’s voice came from behind her.
“If you just want to do marketing, after the group’s anniversary is over, there will be special people to collect supplies to send to the mountains for charity, you don’t need to buy these things alone.”
He looked at the drawing boards and painting tools in the corner, as well as some stationery school bags and other things for students. Judging from the uniformity of the colors and patterns, none of them looked like they were for strange little children, but rather like they were bought specifically for a specific person who knew the preferences.
Amelia Bright put the drawing board in the corner, turned around and smiled calmly.
“I’ve heard that the Hounslow government has a support program that includes the children we’re planning to support, so I’d like to say that I’d like to pick one of these children that I like and make it a long term target to support him through college.”
“Like that?” Farren Austin was silent for a few seconds and suddenly looked into her eyes, “Are you implying that you want a child?”
Hearing this, Amelia Bright almost didn’t spurt out a mouthful of blood, staring straight at Farren Austin,
“Huh?”
“Aren’t you?”
“Of course not,” Amelia Bright snapped back, blushing defensively, “What’s the connection?”
That’s a little too much brain power, isn’t it?
“It’s not best,” Farren Austin looked pale, not knowing what was on his mind, his gaze a little serious, “I have no intention of having children right now.”
Amelia Bright froze for a moment, this moment suddenly felt indescribably complicated mood.
Apart from Joziah Austin, almost everyone in the Austin family was expecting her to give Farren Austin a child, but he was unwilling and had told her so clearly.
She had thought that he might really like her, but now it was like a heavy punch down, giving a very definite no.
After washing up for the night, Amelia Bright slept on the edge of the bed, deliberately far away from Farren Austin.
A short while later she heard a rustle at her side and suddenly lifted the covers and crawled up.
“What’s wrong?”
A low, quizzical male voice came from the dimness.
“This quilt of yours is not comfortable, I’ll get my own quilt.”
After saying that, she went to the compartment and carried her own bed quilt out and squeezed it into the bed.
Farren Austin looked puzzled, and as usual, tried to cover the same bed with her, but found that there was no gap at all, she wrapped herself like a chrysalis, and the corners of the quilt were all pressed under her body.
“You’re not hot, huh?”
“No,” Amelia Bright glared at him, “I’m cold.”
Farren Austin was amused by the way she glared, “Cold?”
With that, he put his own quilt directly on top of the pile of ‘chrysalis’.
“What are you doing?”
“If you’re cold, you should cover up more, I don’t mind sharing half of my quilt with you.”
After saying that, under the quilt, Farren Austin directly hugged the pile of ‘chrysalis’.
“That shouldn’t make you cold anymore.”
Amelia Bright was angry and dry-eyed, although the room was open air conditioning, but after all, it was summer, so covered quickly sweating, she was a hard-headed, rather than die of heat rather than surrender, she fell asleep like this.
Farren Austin looked at her head of sweat, some speechless, can only be ‘chrysalis’ peeled away, she was freed from the quilt inside, into his arms.
Looking at the little woman in her arms tends to sleep peacefully, he frowned slightly.
When will you have to wait until you take the initiative to be honest?
The Austin jewelry anniversary celebration in the form of a charity show was proposed by Amelia Bright, which is nothing to dispute, but the final use of the charity was also proposed by her, and she even took the initiative to go to the planning department to argue with the director of the planning department, which is strange.
The next morning, Amelia Bright finished the bowl of ‘pregnancy preparation’ soup at Erlina Lee’s urging, and ate several strange pills in succession, which made her tongue numbed by the bitter taste.
“Mom, I’m too late for work, let’s go.”
“Take your time, let the driver drop you off.”
“It’s okay, I’ll drive myself.”
Amelia Bright was afraid of being dragged by Erlina Lee to take her medication again, so she walked in an extra hurry.
The Austin Jewelry charity show was held at an auction house in Hounslow’s east side, and many famous businesswomen who were close to the Austin Jewelry were invited, including Mrs. Song and Mrs. Xue.
Amelia Bright saw that Mrs. Song was here and greeted her.
“Sister Song.”
“This is a good show,” Mrs. Song praised the show as soon as she arrived, “The auction house is good, and the jewelry selected is representative of the times. ”
“Yes, to fund some children in the mountains to go to school.”
“That’s a good idea, to reach out and help the world, that’s the kind of heart we need to have in business,” Mrs. Song patted the back of Amelia Bright’s hand appreciatively, “I was right about you, the Austin family can marry a daughter-in-law like you, it’s a great honor for them. The Austin family is blessed to have a daughter-in-law like you.”
“If you are really complimenting me, why don’t you just buy some more jewelry and consider it a gift to the children in the mountains?
At this, Mrs. Song laughed out loud and pointed at Amelia Bright’s nose, saying.
“You, girl, you just want to cheat me out of my money, don’t you? I can’t say no because I’m so justified.” Mrs. Song is a very happy person.
Mrs. Song is a quick person, she said Amelia Bright was cheating her, but in a flash, she bought seven or eight pieces of jewelry, and deliberately picked the ones that no one was interested in.
“You’re busy, I’ll just go around by myself.”
“Okay.”
Amelia Bright saw Mars Xue and her wife coming and walked over to them.
Mars Xue admired Amelia Bright and was very enthusiastic when they met.
“I heard Farren say that her sister-in-law is a jewelry designer, I thought it was a joke, but today I really saw it, the charity show is really good, those children in the mountains are very poor, for this reason, I have to support today.”
Amelia Bright smiled graciously, “Not for the children, but also to buy a gift for Mrs. Xue, after all, the jewelry in this exhibition are all fine, as for supporting the children is an additional merit, right, Mrs. Xue.”
Mrs. Xue frowned.
“I’m not interested in this kind of fame selling.”
Amelia Bright’s smile stiffened and froze.
