Chapter 875
The corner of her mouth twitched. Amelia wondered if Sawyer had expected her to borrow a helicopter from Patrick.
Pausing, Sawyer added, "However, taking into consideration of your situation, it would be unacceptable for me to not make an exception for you. If it is possible, I hope that you can come over here during every weekend."
It seemed that they had reached an agreement.
Followingly, Simon was being ordered by Sawyer to bring her for a tour around the island. This was to prevent her from getting lost in future. However, Amelia was still trying to digest what she had just signed up for.
"Ms. Ramsay, please watch your steps." Seeing that Amelia was going to trip over the stones on the ground, Simon hurriedly reminded her.
Hearing this, Amelia immediately looked down to avoid the warned danger. She then asked, "Simon, do you know where had Kaiden been to?"
Simon replied, "I don't really know Mr. Wright's whereabout now. But one thing that I'm certain is that he had not left the island. You don't have to worry, Ms. Ramsay."
Combing her messy hair with her hand, Amelia could not help feeling a little relieved. Had Kaiden ran away without her, she had no idea who was going to send her back.
Slowing down his pace, Simon abruptly said, "Ms. Ramsay, please don't get offended for what I'm going to say. Now that you're pregnant, it would be wise for you to not argue with Mr. Wright. After all, you don't want any unfortunate to happen to your child. I know his temper well. He always cares about how others think of him, that's why since young, he has always been such a gentleman and
well-behaved. The fact that you had just compared him with a rat, this is so much worse than taking his life."
Amelia felt that she was obliged to clarify something, "Simon, I..."
"Amelia!" It was also right at this time that a familiar voice came in between the two of them.
She turned around just to see that Kaiden was running towards her while the wind gently breaking through his neatly short hair. He had his sleeves rolled up and that he was carrying a plastic pail which Amelia could not tell what was inside.
In the blink of an eye, he had came to the front of them. Seeing that he was overwhelmed with excitement, Amelia was convinced that he was not going to throw a tantrum at her. She could not help sighing in relief.
She greeted him on a cheerful tone, "You left in such a hurry. Where have you been?"
Kaiden replied grinningly, "I've just fed the crocodiles."
His reply had sent her into silence. It was not that she had doubted his words. After all, she knew that Sawyer had been keeping leopards and wild bears on this land.
She was more convinced that Sawyer was not someone who could be gotten along easily after hearing this. On her mind, Kaiden would rather come out to feed crocodiles than to stay and face Sawyer with her. In fact, she had never thought that her behavior itself had already casted doubt on her trustworthiness.
Her gaze was soon attracted by the pail that he was carrying. She asked curiously, "What's inside the pail?"
Kaiden brought the pail forward so that Amelia could take a closer look on it. She could not help frowning as soon as she smelled the pungent smell coming from the pail.
Pulling herself together, she took a glance at the pail. All she could see were fresh meat cutlets covered in blood. Then it made sense to her why did the pail stink.
Kaiden explained, "These are all fresh beef. I'm on my way to feed them again. Do you want to come with me?"
So, Kaiden was just happened to bump into her.
Amelia showed no interest in feeding wild beasts at close distance, "I rather don't go."
Kaiden insisted enthusiastically, "It's still too early for dinner. Come on!"
His persistence had left her with no choices. Although Kaiden was gifted with such a cute face, after all he was a man whose brave and fearless in character. While she was still thinking of rejecting him, Kaiden spoke again, "Don't worry, I'll protect you."
Even Kaiden himself could tell that he had sounded so wrong with what he had just said. With his face expressionless, he added, "Don't get me wrong. Today you're the guest of my cousin. I'm obliged to ensure your safety."
Upon hearing this, Amelia smiled, "Don't worry. I won't take this as a sign of you concerning me."
Kaiden's expression turned colder as he snorted, "Good that you know!"
Simon could tell that the atmosphere between the two of them was getting tense. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Wright, I was told by Mr. Quartley to give Ms. Ramsay a tour. But right now I have to return to the kitchen in order to make sure that dinner is on preparation. Could you please help me with the unfinished tour?"
The truth was that Simon was a respectful person to Kaiden that he would normally listen to whatever he said. Kaiden promised, "Sure, she can come with me to feed crocodiles."
Amelia felt the chill running down her spine. Kaiden sounded as if he was going to feed her to the crocodiles.
Simon nodded, "Thank you." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Simon turned around to look at Amelia and said gently, "Ms. Ramsay, please enjoy your tour here. I'll send someone to notify you two when dinner is served."
Amelia tried to be cooperative with their arrangement. She nodded in reply, "Alright."
The moment when Simon was about to leave, Kaiden thought of something, "Oh by the way, Simon. Please don't let my cousin know that I've fed the crocodiles two times today."
With a strange smile on his face, Simon replied, "Sure. I won't tell unless it is sir who discovers it on his own." After Simon left, Kaiden's expression darkened immediately. As if he was having a bad mood, he urged impatiently, "Follow me!"
With that said, he left without waiting for her.
Amelia hurriedly caught him up from the back and said, "Why is Mr. Quartley not allowed to know that you've fed his crocodiles twice?"
Kaiden's expression was only getting darker. He explained, "Because my cousin won't want the crocodiles to be full."
"But why?"
"Don't ask too much. It has nothing to do with you."
Seeing that Kaiden was clearly impatient, Amelia knew that it would be wise for her to shut her mouth up.
Both of them remained silent along the way until they finally entered an aquarium.
Since this was a private island, the main door at the entrance was not locked. All they needed to do was to push the door open. Followingly, all Amelia could see was an enormously large cage.
The interior of the cage was covered with shoal as well as land. There was an opening on top of the cage to allow entry of sunlight for the cold-blooded animals.
Apparently, the shoal looked a little muddy. Nonetheless, anyone who had ever watched Discovery Channel would know that this was exactly where the crocodiles live in wild. The cloudiness of water would make hunting prey easier for the crocodiles.
Her attention was soon attracted by the crocodiles on the land. Amelia was speechless on the fact that Sawyer had only kept two crocodiles in this cage. To her, it was a complete waste of resource and space to only keep two crocodiles here.
But then it made sense to her that why would Kaiden only carry one plastic pail.
Seeing that Amelia's expression was indifferent when she saw the two Nile crocodiles, Kaiden sneered. It would be best not to tell her the truth that why would Sawyer only keep two crocodiles in such an open space.
Taking a side glance, he muttered, "Do you want to try feeding?"
Amelia answered without hesitation, "I prefer to watch."
Kaiden could not help teasing her, "You're such a coward! Are you sure that you deserve to be on the negotiation table with my cousin?"
Amelia felt that her behavior was completely justified. She said indifferently, "It's women's privilege to be timid. If you're not happy with this, I challenge you to have a trip to Country T."
Squinting, Kaiden threatened, "I dare you to continue talking. Do you believe that I can simply push you into the pool and feed you to the crocodiles?"
