For a long time, the only sound in the room was her ragged panting.
A familiar voice came from outside the door, streaking about something, and she got out of bed somewhat bewildered and walked over barefoot.
“Sir, the woods have been cleared, the background of the residents in this vicinity have all been inventoried, nothing unusual was found, if you are still unsure, do you want to send a few more people over to keep watch?”
“No,”
Farren Austin’s voice is low, “After today’s incident, he will not come back, if he comes back, you can tell him that Amelia has not been well after the fall, the house does not see guests.”
“Yes.”
After Adjutant Xun answered, he glanced at the figure in the doorway out of the corner of his eye, and ended the conversation very sagely.
“If there’s nothing else, sir, I’ll leave first.”
Farren Austin frowned slightly, and if he glanced at the bedroom door, he nodded slightly.
“Hmm.”
After Adjutant Xun left, the house quieted down.
Amelia Bright didn’t hide and came out, her face pale, “What the hell happened this afternoon?”
All she remembered was that she was on the phone by the lake, and suddenly someone pushed her, and she fell into the water, and she didn’t remember anything after that.
“You fell into the water and Adjutant Xun saved you.”
Amelia Bright frowned.
“Joziah Austin did that?”
Farren Austin didn’t say anything, but clearly acquiesced to the statement.
“What was he going to do?”
Amelia Bright did not understand the purpose of Joziah Austin today, it is reasonable to say that the two brothers have a general relationship, from previous impressions, Joziah Austin is actually very afraid of him, the big brother, today rushed to give himself uncomfortable, what exactly is the purpose?
“He designed to lure away Adjutant Xun, and you fell in the water in front of me, what do you think he wants?”
“He …” Amelia Bright’s eyes fell on Farren Austin’s leg, hesitantly
“He suspects that your leg is all right?”
“I’m afraid it’s not a suspicion,” Farren Austin’s brow furrowed into a frown.
“He just needs to see it for himself to confirm the veracity of the suspicion, and Joziah is always cautious.”
“What does he want to know that for?”
Amelia Bright wondered.
Farren Austin was wounded in the army, this incident and Joziah Austin has no possibility to have a relationship, she has always thought that Joziah Austin and Farren Austin is only the Austin inheritance conflict, but Farren Austin is obviously not interested in the Austin, the reason why the two do not exist. It is reasonable to say that there is no dispute of interest between the two.
So what exactly is Joziah Austin’s resistance to Farren Austin?
“It doesn’t matter,” Farren Austin did not respond positively, “you don’t have to see him in the future, he won’t come back here, and that’s it.”
“That’s it?”
Amelia Bright was suddenly unconvinced, “Hey, I’m the one who fell in the water today, what if Adjutant Xun hadn’t come in time and I’d have drowned?”
“Stop it,” Farren Austin helplessly took her cold hand in his, cold look tinged with a bit of pain.
“You know it won’t.”
Before going upstairs to change clothes, he had already instructed her Joziah Austin is not good, also told Adjutant Xun, other things can be put on hold, always keep an eye on the lake, so Adjutant Xun simply did not go home to get the barbecue grill, has been waiting in the woods.
Amelia Bright fell into the water soon after being rescued, did not suffer much, just stunned because of the past.
The warmth of her hand eased her sullen mood a bit, and her tone calmed down.
“I’m not trying to be unreasonable with you, but I think your brother did this kind of thing, you have been so open-minded to turn a blind eye is not good, this is not condoning it? He can let someone push me into the water today, tomorrow may be able to do something.”
After so much time together, she has long seen Farren Austin this person is actually very soft-hearted to the people around.
But when it comes to matters of human life, soft-heartedness is not an option.
“Not conniving,”
Farren Austin’s tone was a little deeper, and a few chills radiated from his eyes, “It’s to give him a chance to think things through, and after this time, if he does anything else, no one will tolerate him anymore.”
Amelia Bright’s expression was a bit dazed.
I don’t know when the man in front of me has become more and more attentive to his own care Chambers, and even often makes her feel guilty for cheating on his feelings, but today she suddenly woke up a little.
He is Farren Austin, because some she still do not know the reason and conceal the leg injury in a wheelchair spent a full five years of the man, he this patience and courage is not ordinary people can compare, the mind and the city is not ordinary people can guess through.
In fact, after waking up she knew that Adjutant Xun had saved her, she wanted to ask a question.
If Adjutant Xun was not in the forest, he would not have risked being seen by Joziah Austin, to save himself?
She finally did not ask, because when she thought of this question, she fished back her original reasoning and calm from the feelings she had been indulging in.
Farren Austin is a kind of person, what kind of past he has, what kind of secrets he has, these she does not know, what she knows is just an ordinary man in a wheelchair and silent.
“I’ll learn to cook later.”
Before going to bed, Amelia Bright suddenly mentioned this.
Farren Austin’s eyes left the book and landed on her face, “How did you figure it out?”
“To avoid another situation like today.”
Amelia Bright sighed heavily, “I was caught off guard with all the hand-wringing, it was too revealing.”
“He won’t come back later.”
“I’ll have to learn, in case you bring a friend back one day or something,” Amelia Bright reached out and patted him on the shoulder with a straight face.
“Don’t worry, I’m a very morally responsible collaborator, the wife identity, I will do my best to do it perfectly.”
The word ‘collaborator’ caused a few moments of displeasure to freeze in Farren Austin’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
“In that case, then starting tomorrow, you cook.”
“Not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I guess.”
Amelia Bright yawned and turned her back to him, “I have something tomorrow, Dad asked me to accompany him to meet with Director Pei of the Safety Group, said there is a cooperation to discuss.”
Farren Austin has never asked too many questions about work matters.
Amelia Bright, on the other hand, was very interested in this negotiation.
At the beginning, several companies were interested in a piece of land, but the Safety Group got it first, but everyone in the circle knows that the Safety Group may not have enough money to develop the land officially, and it can’t eat it, so it must spit out part of it, and needs project financing.
Amelia Bright was originally not interested in this, but she happened to hear that the Chambers family group was also in contact with the Safety Group.
If in the past, the Chambers family group as Hounslow’s leading listed company, simply will not care about these small development projects, but this time since the initiative to come together, it means that the Chambers family group must have some internal problems.
The biggest possibility is the management infighting, dissatisfaction Liam Gellar this half year without performance, he is anxious to make some achievements to plug the mouth of the management.
This will be exactly what she wants.
