Chapter 71 The Dominic Famliy
Chapter 71 The Dominic Famliy
Repulse Bay, the most famous and exorbitant estate in Harper city, was only accessible to the rich and
a mirage to the ordinary. And the Dominic Group owned this land.
The villa that Lawrence lived in covered a land of near five hundred square meters, that was already
fancy enough. But Maximus lived in an even larger one, which covered more than a thousand square
meters. It was quite a walk to get to the living room.
Amelia didn’t know this whole place was the Dominic’s until she saw Lawrence in the living room with
Lillian and his family.
Arthur hung around Jimmy and Ellen all the time when they were kids. They were as close as brothers
and sister. Now that he knew Ellen’s back in the country, it’s only right that he came to visit and catch
up with them.
Of course , that was only partly the reason, he had his own agenda too. Though Lawrence and Amelia
were married, Arthur still could not let go of Amelia. And Lawrence was a family man, if his relationship
with Amelia got the recognition of other family members of the Dominics, then Lawrence would quit
competing with him over Amelia.
Lawrence’s mother Heathway was a renowned doctor both in and beyond the border. She had
dedicated years into the research of curing cancers.
Arthur grabbed Amelia’s hand and accosted Heathway hurriedly by sight of her. “Auntie Heathway,” he
said, “do you have any unguent that cures everything? Amelia’s hurt, badly, I need to get her wound
handled ASAP.”
Heathway knew instantly by the urgency in Arthur’s voice that he had a crush on the girl he’s holding.
And she was prompted to study Amelia for a few seconds.
She found Amelia likable. And the longer she looked at her, the more she thought so. Guess tht’s what
people mean by love me, love the dog.
“Wait here, I’ll get it for you from upstairs.”
She left and came back soon, with two pots of unguent in her hands. She put the white one in Arthur’s
hand. “This is for her hand.”
Then she tucked the green one into his palm. “This is for her forehand. Smear it on regularly and the
wound won’t leave a scar on her forehead.
The wound cut deep. Amelia took it for granted that it would definitely leave a scar. So she was quite
surprised when she heard what Heathway said.
She didn't have much time, but beauty was always a pursuit to any woman of any age. Heathway had
really done her a boon by giving her such a magical unguent.
“Thank you, Auntie Heathway.” Arthur smiled sweetly. Then he griped Amelia’s hand and started
smearing the unguent for her.
Amelia was not used to being served by others, especially with so many eyes around. Subconsciously,
she tried to withdraw her hand but failed because of Arthur’s strength.
The unguent felt comfortable on her hand. But that’s one thing that was uncomfortable. Amelia could
feel someone’s stare on her hand so fierce that it was like t was going to stab a few holes through her
hand.
She raised her eyes and found Lawrence’s dark face instantly.
She thought it was ridiculous. Was he being possessive? He couldn’t stand the sight of the bitch that
he auctioned was being treated gently, could he?
She found his twisted mind disgusting, so she ignored him. She lowered her eyes back on her hand
and watched patiently as Arthur helped her with the unguent.
“Does it still hurt?” Arthur asked when he’s done, his voice thick with concern.
Amelia somehow could always feel father love from Arthur. It’s weird, but beautiful.
She shook her head slowly. “It doesn’t”
A bright smile appeared on Arthur’s face when he heard Amelia said so. “Great, that’s great.”
Arthur was all over her now. Heathway could tell from the way Arthur had been behaving. And now,
when she looked at Amelia again, she looked at her like she’s looking at her daughter-in-law.
“Arthur, why don’t you introduce this young lady to us?”
“Oh, my bad. Everybody, this is Amelia Jordan, and I’m currently running after her.” Arthur turned his
face to look at Amelia. “Amelia, this is my aunt, Heathway. Sitting next to her is my uncle, Maximus. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
The guy looks as cold as a iceberg is Alfred. And the girl sitting next to him is Ellen.”
Alfred?
Amelia was confused. If I’m not mistaken, isn’t Lawrence’s brother’s name Steven?
Arthur divined Amelia’s thought, he lowered his voice and whispered to her. “Steven used to go by the
name Alfred. Don’t be fooled by his outlook though, he’s mean. He always bullied me when I was a
kid.”
“Arthur, don’t you dare to malign my brother!” people missaying her brother was the last thing Ellen
would stomach. She made her face as furious as it could be. “I’ll kick your ass.”
Arthur would’ve started a farce with Ellen if Amelia was not around. But now he had to act cool.
He lowered his voice. “Ellen, don’t you see that my future wife is here? Can’t you just save me some
dignity?”
The way that Arthur chickened out amused Ellen, she chuckled. She walked up to Amelia, all smile.
“Young girl, why do you like such a dumbass?”
They’re not a couple, Amelia wanted to say.
But considerate as she was, she didn't want to embarrass Arthur in front of his friends.
So she could only say. “He’s a nice guy.”
Ellen laughed harder. She pinched at Amelia. “Look how young she is! Are you trafficking children? I’ll
turn you in, Arthur.”
Amelia would’ve felt offended if it were someone else who pinched her face. She had a totally different
feeling when Ellen did this to her, she felt like they were bonding.
As Ellen was looking at her with her smile, Amelia raised her head to study Ellen.
She saw Ellen on TV all the time. Ellen was a huge star, internationally huge. As artists, Ellen and
Lillian were both on the top tier, but still, Lillian was nowhere near to Ellen.
She’s really beautiful, Amelia had to admit. She’s just like an angel. She’s twenty nine and didn’t look
like her age. Instead, she looked like a green high school student.
Immersed in her own thoughts, Amelia blurted. “Ellen, actually, you’re the one really look a teen.”
“Hahhh…”Ellen couldn't stop laughing. “Oh, you’re so cute, girl. I really like you. So, when will you
marry Arthur?”
