Chapter 1209 We donât need a child Looking at the cold and aloof figure, Stella stood still in place.
She had once made a false report for Amelia. Is James implying something about her?
Stella lowered her gaze and looked at the displayed numbers. She slightly curved her lips and thought to herself, âIs James implying something about me? Good!â
James had been gone for a while and when he returned, Amelia had fallen asleep. âWhy were you gone for so long?â she asked.
The man who had prepared his hands after finishing his business sat down next to her with a calm expression. âThe restroom here isnât very clean,â he said.
Amelia had no suspicions and hugged his arm, leaning her head on his shoulder. She spoke softly to him, âEarlier, you asked me what I would do if Alice was the one adopted by the Clark family. I thought about it and I donât want a child. I just want to be with you for the rest of my life, as long as youâre here.â
James: â¦
If only she had said that earlier, he wouldnât have had to go find Stellaâ¦
He was somewhat helpless and reached out to hold her waist, We donât need a child gently pinching it. âIn the future, when I ask you something, answer me promptly.â
Amelia, who didnât understand what was going on, leaned on his shoulder and looked at him with her head tilted. âIâll answer you if you ask me something, but you have to give me time to think about itâ¦â
She wasnât quick to react and needed to think things through in her mind first. Otherwise, the words that came out without going through her brain might hurt someone, embarrass herself, or break her promises.
Upon hearing her words, James raised his hand and touched her face. His eyes were filled with tenderness as he said, âNext time, I will wait for you to finish speaking.â
At this moment, three knocks were heard from outside the door, followed by Stellaâs voice: âJames, Amelia, the appraisal report is outââ
James replied, âCome in,â and Stella pushed the door open.
Seeing the report in her hand, Amelia became nervous and clenched her fists.
Although she was prepared for either outcome, she was still nervous at the moment of revelation.
Stella, with a mischievous look, glanced at James and opened the bag containing the report in front of them.
Compared to Jamesâ calmness, Amelia was much more anxious. Before Stella could hand over the report, she went up and asked directly.
Stella pulled out the report and handed it to Amelia. âYou and James have no blood relationshipâ¦â
