Chapter 563 When Should We Meet?
Meanwhile, in the Evans Manorâ¦
1/5
After running a check-up on James, Stella frowned and explained, âMr. Evans, on top of the few occurrences of gastrorrhagia, you havenât eaten or drank anything for the past few days, and youâve overworked yourself. You are not in good shape. If you donât take proper rest, Iâm afraid that your body might not be able to handle it.â
James didnât take Stella seriously at all. He sat on the sofa in the study, staring out the window in a daze.
His eyes, which used to be bright like the stars, were empty and lifeless right then. They were like a black hole, not a single ray of light could break through.
Stella shook her head looking at him being in this state. After sticking an IV needle into the back of his hand, she once again told him, âMr. Evans, without keeping your body in good condition, how are you going to win Ms. Garcia back? Pull yourself together and stop torturing yourself.â
Stella did not receive any response from James so she stopped speaking. She got up and left the study with her medical bag in hand.

Once Stella left, James slowly retracted his gaze and glanced in the direction of the safe. After staring at it for a while, he suddenly got up.
He pulled the IV needle, walked to the safe, and raised his slender fingers to key in the password before retrieving his personal phone from it.
After charging it, he turned it on just in time to see a message from Amelia.
2/5
âMr. Shawn, since you know that Iâm still alive, you should set up a time for us to meet and explain yourself properly.â
âMr. Shawn, you used to reply so quickly. Why donât you dare to reply now? Are you feeling guilty?â
âMr. Shawn, are you too scared to see me? How did you have the guts to send me thousands of messages when youâre such a coward?â
âMr. Shawn, why arenât you picking up my calls?â
âMr. Shawn, Iâll ask you out one more time. Letâs set up a time for us to meet. Are you coming?â
There were several other messages where she proposed to meet him.
James was frozen after reading the texts.

3/5
When he checked the timestamps, he realized that they were sent after he went to the National Space Administration. It had been more than a month since then.
After Amelia returned to the US as Skender, she didnât hear from Mr. Shawn and ended up blocking him.
Why did she suddenly unblock him and even ask him out? James stared at the messages. He read through them several times, but still didnât quite understand. Even so, regardless of why she wanted to meet up with him, at least she was willing to meet Mr. Shawn. Jamesâ dull eyes showed a hint of color, and he typed with his slender fingers.
He tapped on the send button, then gripped the phone nervously, waiting for a reply that would never come.
After Amelia heard Jamesâ voice on the phone, she was a little confused. She kept losing focus.
Neil noticed it so he picked up a brick and tapped it on her safety hat. âThe last thing you want to do at a construction site is getting distracted, especially when you are collecting data!â he nagged. With Neilâs reminder, Amelia quickly pushed her thoughts 105 Chapter 563 When Should We Meet? behind her and concentrated on following him around the construction site. 4/5 After jotting down the data, they began to communicate with the project leader about the desired style of design..
The second project that Skender took over was different from that of the National Space Administrationâs. She had gone back to designing totally ordinary buildings.
What they wanted was a commercial building with some special features. It would be used as an office building so Amelia would be facing more limitations in the design.
Amelia listened carefully. She took notes and repeatedly discussed the style of design before ending the conversation with the project leader.
She put away her notebook, then looked at Neil who was following her. He hadnât interrupted the whole time. âWas I good enough this time, Mr. Sherwood?â
Neil forced a smile out of his stiff mouth. âIf I had to rate you out of ten, I would give you a three at most.â
Holding the notebook in her arms, Amelia glanced at him speechlessly.
Neil looked at the darkening sky and urged her. âHurry up and book a hotel, Iâm sleepy.â
Amelia looked at him. âDidnât you bring your phone?â
Chapter 563 When Should We Meet? Checkily, he replied, âI have no money.â
She scoffed. âYou are a dignified chief architect. How can you have no money?â
5/5
At the mention of money, Neil was filled with resentment. âYou managed to get your one million back, but I didnât. How could I have any money?â
Initially, she had lost more money than him, so he didnât feel too bitter about it. Who knew that James would only help Amelia get her money back, and leave Neil to fend for himself?
Looking at Neilâs petty behavior, Amelia shook her head. âMr. Sherwood, if you ever get married, Iâll chop my own head off.â
Unconvinced, Neil raised his chin. âIf I do, Iâll chop your head off myself even if you donât!â
Amelia didnât bother responding. She took out her phone and powered it on. She was just about to book a hotel when a message popped up on her old WhatsApp account.
âOkay. When should we meet?â
