Chapter 877
Chapter 877
Coming out from the aquarium, Amelia followed Kaiden from the back.
Kaiden had chosen to feed them in secret even if he clearly knew that it was Sawyer's intention to make the beasts killing each other. Suddenly, Amelia was convinced that Kaiden was in fact a kind- hearted person. If that was the case, then certainly his kind reminder for her might be somewhat true.
However, in the end of the day, Sawyer was one of his family. It did not make sense for Kaiden to bad-mouth his cousin to an outsider like her.
Shaking her head, after all it did not matter anymore whether Kaiden wanted to serve a warning or frighten her.
She had no other choice but to get Sawyer into investing Apex Construction Corporation. This was the only way out for her after she had made such a lie to the government.
She could only be optimistic and pray for the best.
Seeing that the sky was painted brilliant red gold by sunset, she thought of Patrick all in a sudden. Since no one was around at home to take care of his meal, she wondered if he had eaten.
Thinking of this, she reached out to her phone and dialed his number. However, her call was being hung up after the first ring.
Frowning, she guessed that he had thrown a tantrum at her again.
She made a second attempt of call which was being hung up as well. This had further proven that her guess was right.
Sinking in her thought, Kaiden who was all this while walking at the front, took a glance at her all in a sudden.
Seeing that her eyes were flickering, he could not help reminding her, "Hello! Watch your steps!"
"Huh?" Amelia lowered her gaze just to find out that she had already come to the staircase. Had Kaiden not reminded her in time, she would have tripped over and fallen by this moment.
Seeing that she was lost in her thought while holding her phone, Kaiden wondered if she had to be so distracted whenever she was with him.
The thought of this triggered him as he scolded irritably, "What's wrong with you? Can't you even watch your steps?"
Amelia was stunned by his sudden wave of anger out of nowhere. She did not feel like expressing her gratitude for his kind reminder anymore, "Why the hell do you have to be this mad when I didn't even knock into you?"
Kaiden snorted, "It's hard to say. If it were not for my reminder, I'm sure that you have already knocked into me."
Considering the fact that he had somehow warned her, Amelia did not want to start a fight, "Fine, it's my fault then. I shouldn't have lost my mind while using phone. I'm sorry."
Hearing this, Kaiden took a glance at her phone. He then said insidiously, "Oh, now I see. You're waiting for a call from your husband, am I right?"
All he wanted to do was to make fun of her. Unexpectedly, she took it seriously and nodded, "Yes. I wanted to ask him if he had eaten."
Hearing this, Kaiden spoke with fluent sarcasm, "Why I never know that the CEO of Roxxon Corporation is as if a three-year-old kid who needs to be taken care of his meal?"
Hearing this, Amelia immediately felt offended. Kaiden could speak whatever he wanted of her, but Patrick was her limit that he should not have crossed. She fired back, "Mr. Wright, I guess you've never experienced love and romance before, am I right? As a wife to Patrick, it's a sign of love that I concern of his welfare. Leave it. I don't think any men who has phobia towards women will ever
understand this."
With that said, she bypassed him and entered the house.
Staring at her graceful back, Kaiden's expression darkened as if he was going to rip her apart.
As soon as Amelia and Kaiden entered the house, they were immediately led to the dining table. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Amelia had seen all sort of scrumptious dishes in her life, However, what Sawyer had prepared for dinner was still beyond what she could accept.
All she could see was a round opening in the middle of the dining table with a monkey's neck being secured with special apparatus. There was a deep cut across its head and that the brain was being exposed in the air.
The monkey was probably alive when its brain was being cut open which suggested the reason of its features being seen crumpled altogether. Facing such a horrific view of the monkey, Amelia's face twitched in terrify.
Just as she was still trying to recover from shock, she saw a well-built man dressing as a chef was scooping the brain plasma with an exquisite spoon before he served them on everyone's plates.
The view was too gross for Amelia. With her mouth covered in disgust, she fled from such a horrific scene without leaving any message.
Kaiden was not feeling any better than her. But right this moment, he was more concerned of getting Amelia back as she would at any time end up getting lost in this island.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a tall figure could be seen descending the staircase. Towering him, Sawyer asked, "Kaiden, are you satisfied with what you've seen?"
Pausing, Kaiden looked away sheepishly as soon as he glanced up and met Sawyer's meaningful gaze. He stammered, "Co...cousin."
Sawyer said insidiously, "Kaiden, you've never changed. You still like to feed my pets without my permission."
A trace of sympathy creeped on Kaiden's delicate face. He explained, "I feel pity for them, that's why I fed them one more time today. I'm going to leave this island anyway. I know that they are going to die sooner or later. Maybe I just want to do good for once today."
Sawyer came to the dining table and swept his glance at the monkey who died horrifically, "You don't have to be panicked. I'm not blaming you for this."
Kaiden was not convinced with his comfort words.
Tensing, he struggled to find his voice as he peeked at the dead monkey, "Cousin, why are you doing this? I remember that you never eat monkeys."
Taking the main seat on the table, Sawyer replied with his face expressionless, "You should have asked this question to yourself. It is dead because of you."
Kaiden's pupils contracted in shock as he asked, "I don't get what you mean!"
Crossing hands, Sawyer rested his chin leisurely on them. He began to speak in his irresistible voice, "You're the one who told Amelia not to be fooled by my temporary kindness and how cruel I can be in person, aren't you? I'm just letting her know my true color in advance, that's all. You know, I have to thank you, Kaiden. With what you've told her, now that I don't even have to disguise myself. I feel much more at ease now."
With that said, he took over the glass of champagne served by the servant and began to sip on it gracefully.
Kaiden's face was as pale as sheet. He certainly had lost his mind for coming out with such a speech at the aquarium. To make the whole situation worse, his speech had been overheard by his cousin!
Seeing that Kaiden was speechless, Sawyer put down the wine glass and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm not going to eat you up alive. Go and get our prey back. We have to continue the game."
Hearing this, Kaiden could not help clenching his fist. He exclaimed, "Cousin!"
Sawyer glanced at him crookedly, "Mm?"
Kaiden hurriedly said, "I'm done with this game. Can we stop it now? I admit that initially I want to crush Patrick by using Amelia! All I had in mind was to revenge on him for fighting with you over Sissi!"
