Greg didnât know what the father and daughter were thinking. After resting for a while at noon, he began to concentrate on brewing the medicinal ingredients.
Amelia conscientiously went to the living room to play on her phone, while Greg was busy in the kitchen until dark, ultimately producing close to forty Elixir pills.
He put all the Elixirs into a small medicine bottle and suddenly realized that Mick hadnât come to deliver dinner.
âHey, didnât your dad bring over dinner?â
âNo.â
Amelia laughed, âBut itâs okay, I went out and bought groceries in the afternoon, so Iâll cook dinner tonight.â
âCan you cook?â
âMr. Greg, you really underestimate me. I started learning to cook with my mom when I was in my teens.â
âUh, okay then.â
Greg smiled, feeling a bit puzzled. He had the impression that Mick and his daughter were acting a bit strange today.
He didnât dwell on it and, after cleaning up the kitchen, went to the master bedroomâs bathroom for a shower.
By the time he came out from the shower, Amelia had already prepared dinner.
There were four dishes and a soup, along with a bottle of red wine.
Staring at the red wine, Greg was somewhat startled and exclaimed, âAre you of age already? You drink wine?â
âIâm of age, Iâve even passed my eighteenth birthday.â
Thinking of something, Ameliaâs face suddenly blushed, and with her head lowered she picked up her glass, took a small sip, and said, âMr. Greg, donât keep staring at me, you⦠you drink.â
âOkay.â
Greg nodded with a smile.
The two of them ate and drank wine, not speaking much to each other.
Before long, when Greg went to pour more wine, he found the bottle empty. Looking up, he saw Amelia lifting her glass in a toast, draining the wine in one gulp.
Her cheeks were rosy, her eyes slightly narrowed and her gaze a bit misty. A droplet of wine spilled from the corner of her thin lips, then spread to her chin, trickling down her fair neck and into her bosom.
The bright red wine on her skin resembled a delicate cinnabar mole.
Possibly due to the alcohol, Greg felt his heartbeat gradually speed up and his breathing became somewhat rushed.
âMr. Greg, why do you keep staring at me?â
âUh, no, not at all.â
A hint of panic flashed in Gregâs eyes.
Seeing this, Amelia covered her mouth and giggled, saying in a tipsy blur, âHehe, I know what youâre thinking.â
Moved by the moment, Gregâs lips curled into a sly smile as he asked, âOh, so tell me what Iâm thinking?â
Just as Amelia was about to speak, she suddenly realized what she was about to say. Her already flushed face grew even more rosy, and she retorted, âHmph, youâre so bad, Iâm not talking to you anymore.â
âHaha.â
Greg grinned and stood up to help clear the table.
Amelia quickly said, âYou sit, I can clean up.â
They were very close to each other, and her quiet floral scent mixed with a faint smell of alcohol wafted into his nose.
Greg instinctively wrapped his arm around her waist, her slender waist felt like a willow branch in his embrace, giving him a sense of complete control and satisfaction.
Amelia stiffened, then relaxed, and without turning her head, hummed, âMr. Greg, stop messing around, Iâm cleaning up.â
âForget about cleaning up, let me take care of you instead.â
Greg lowered his head, deeply inhaling the scent of her hair before gently kissing her.
Amelia shivered, her body immediately going limp, as if all her strength had been drained, and she leaned softly against Gregâs chest.
Greg fully understood the Simmons familyâs intentions and, no longer holding back, he lifted Ameliaâs chin and kissed her.
âMmmâ¦â
Amelia Simmons was obviously a novice, initially she tried to resist, but she quickly admitted defeat.
âSir, to the bedroom.â
âHmm, okay.â
Greg Jensen also realized what was happening, scooped her up horizontally, went upstairs, kicked open the half-closed bedroom door, then climbed onto the bed.
In the dimly lit room, Amelia Simmonsâs body was somewhat stiff. Despite her mental preparation, she was still somewhat nervous when the moment arrived.
She took a deep breath, ready to face the storm.
However, Greg Jensenâs roughness suddenly changed. He did not continue to press forward but held her in his arms and gently stroked her hair while chatting with her.
Spring rain is as precious as oil, especially the continuous fine drizzle.
The pristine rainwater, flowing through every nook and cranny, silently moistens the cracked and parched soil, bringing endless spring vitality to all things.
Amelia Simmons was different from all of Greg Jensenâs other women, even more compliant and docile than Vince Cooper, and had better stamina than Taylor Ware.
Her fully submissive attitude could greatly satisfy a manâs desire to conquer.
The only flaw was that she was somewhat inhibited.
Of course, this was no problem for Greg Jensen.
â¦
Mick Simmons still couldnât quite rest easy, so he drove to the villa to check things out, only to find leftover bowls and chopsticks on the dining table.
Wondering where everyone had gone, he suddenly heard muffled roars from upstairs, and his face flushed red as he rapidly figured out what was happening.
Looking upstairs with some concern, he sighed, his thoughts a jumble of emotions. After a momentâs hesitation, he swiftly left the villa.
â¦
The Morris family.
âDad, we canât find that young man.â
Leon Morris said, âWeâve practically turned the provincial city upside down, but we still havenât found the young man who treated Fraser Simmons.â
Leon Morrisâs face showed a bitter expression; all the wrinkles on his face gathered together as he sighed, âStop looking, heâs probably long gone.â
âWhat do we do then? Just let the Simmons family overshadow ours?â
âWhat else?â
Leon Morris frowned, then sighed again, âLetâs wait and see. If it really comes to it, weâll invite a half-step Grandmaster from another province over.
See if we can defeat Fraser Simmons at the Martial Way conference. If we can, then the Simmons familyâs businesses will naturally become ours. If we canâtâ¦â
He did not continue, falling into an irritable silence instead.
Jasper Morris didnât speak either because he knew that if they couldnât defeat the Simmons family, theyâd have no choice but to be overshadowed by them.
After a while, Leon Morris suddenly spoke up, âDuring this exchange meeting, Healington will be sending over a traveler and a protector. Make sure to prepare a generous gift for them.â
Jasper Morris replied with some dissatisfaction, âDad, we send gifts to Healington every year, and it doesnât seem to make any difference.
They take the gifts, but they donât take us seriously at all.â
Leon Morris looked at him intently, âWhether they take us seriously is not important, whatâs important is not to offend them.
Moreover, if by chance our gifts catch Healingtonâs eye, our Morris family would be set to soar high.â
Jasper Morris paused for a moment, then nodded in understanding.
Healingtonâs status in the martial world was extremely unique, whether for their ability to save lives and aid the injured or for the Elixirs they produced, all were things desperately needed by the martial experts.
Therefore, even though Healington itself did not have a very strong Martial Way tradition, the sect still had many powerful practitioners.
Healingtonâs reputation in the martial world was also high; with one command, they could summon numerous followers.
Ordinary martial experts didnât want to offend Healington.
Even those large families with Grandmasters didnât want to provoke them lightly, let alone a smaller family like the Morris family.
