Chapter 316

Author: Goldfish
Dorothy carried Evelyn all the way into Whitmore Manor.

The servants were shaping the dough and preparing the toppings. Most of the work had been done yesterday.

It was still early, just past nine in the morning.

"Evelyn, you want to try shaping the pastries too, right?"

Evelyn nodded and immediately rolled up her sleeves. "I do!"

Dorothy smiled at the determination on her great-granddaughter's face. Warmth filled her heart as she turned to look at Amelia standing at the side.

"She looks

    Claire accepted the drawing and tucked it carefully into her purse. "It's beautiful. I'm going to keep it forever."The mood in the room gradually relaxed. Claire seated Nathan and Evelyn on either side of her and asked about school and what they had been doing lately.Jasper and Lincoln joined in from time to time, while Winona kept the conversation flowing, so there were no awkward silences.Amelia watched her mother smile, and warmth spread through her chest.Whatever problems were waiting outside that room, having everyone together made them feel far away, at least for the moment.She poured her mother a drink. "Happy birthday, Mom. I hope this next year is a good one.""Thank you, sweetheart." Claire smiled as she accepted the glass. "That means a lot. As long as all of you are doing well, I'm happy."Evelyn quickly pulled out the scrapbook she had made and handed it over. "Grandma, this is my present for you. It has lots of pictures of us together, and I wrote messages on

    Amelia stopped by a jewelry store and eventually chose a pair of mother-of-pearl bracelets. Their soft, luminous sheen reminded her of her mother's quiet, gentle nature.When she got home, Evelyn was hard at work at her desk, surrounded by construction paper, glue, and glitter."Mommy, you're back!"Evelyn looked up with a dab of glue on her cheek and excitement in her eyes. "I'm making Grandma a birthday present. It's a scrapbook of all the things we've done together."Amelia walked over and flipped through the carefully arranged pages. Some of the photos showed Claire taking Evelyn to the park, while others captured them baking together. Every page was filled with happy memories.She smoothed a hand over her daughter's hair. "Grandma's going to love it."Claire had never liked being the center of attention, and she had made it clear that she didn't want a big celebration this year. All she wanted was a quiet dinner with the family.Amelia reserved a private room at a nearby re

    “Evie, I need to talk to you about something.”Amelia sat down beside her daughter on the couch, keeping her voice gentle.Evelyn blinked up at her, her hands folded neatly in her lap. “What do you want to talk about, Mommy?”“Things have been a little unsafe lately, so I was thinking you could stay home from school for a while and have a private tutor teach you here. How would you feel about that?”Amelia chose her words carefully, trying not to let her worry frighten Evelyn.To her surprise, Evelyn didn’t answer right away. Instead, she tilted her head and asked, “Is this important to you, Mommy? If it’s what you want, then I’ll do it.”Warmth filled Amelia’s heart, followed by a pang of guilt. She gently stroked Evelyn’s hair. “I want to know what you think. I’ll make the final decision based on how you feel. This is your education and your life. I shouldn’t make every decision for you.”Evelyn lowered her eyes and thought for a few seconds. When she looked up again, she se

    Amelia inhaled deeply, steadying herself before meeting Christopher’s eyes. “Honestly, this isn’t the time to be talking about any of this.”After everything that had happened between them; the misunderstandings, the danger, and finally the truth, her priorities had changed.Right now, her safety and the Bloom family’ plans mattered far more than whatever remained between them.Christopher lowered his gaze, his lashes casting faint shadows beneath his eyes. “I don’t have a choice. I have to make sure you and Evie are completely safe. Keeping her home for now is the safest option, even if it isn’t fair to her.”Amelia rubbed her aching forehead, the tenderness beneath her fingertips a reminder of how tense she had been for days.She wasn’t unreasonable. She knew what mattered most.She looked at Christopher and chose her words carefully. “I’ll work with you. If keeping Evie home and following your security plan is what it takes to keep us safe, then that’s what I’ll do. But I

    Christopher took the report card, and a faint smile touched his lips as he looked over the grades. “Evie’s doing very well. I’ve already contacted a private school in the city. It has excellent academics and tight security, and it’s closer to home. We can take Evie to visit next week.”Amelia nodded. As she watched Christopher study the report card so carefully, a complicated mix of emotions stirred inside her.Christopher remained calm. “Evie is extremely bright. Given everything that’s happening, we may want to pull her out of school for a while and hire a private tutor. She’s already mastered everything taught at the middle school level.”Amelia froze and looked up at him in disbelief. “How do you know that?”Christopher’s voice was low and steady. “She’s always learned quickly. Even when she was little, she was ahead of Nathan. But she’s too thoughtful. She was always trying to spare his feelings, so she would intentionally miss a few questions on every test and let him ran

    Amelia answered, “Alright. I’ll wait for you at home.”She had barely stepped out of the office building after ending the call when a message from Winona came through.[I don’t have dinner plans tonight, so I’m coming over to mooch a meal and see Evie!]Amelia stared at the message, hesitating.Winona still didn’t know about her recent conversations with Christopher. If they ran into each other, Winona would probably get the wrong idea.After thinking it over, she texted Christopher. [A friend is coming over for dinner. Come half an hour later.]His reply came almost immediately. [Okay.]When Amelia got home, she helped Evelyn finish her homework, then made a few simple dishes.She had just finished setting the table when the doorbell rang. Winona walked in carrying a bag of fruit and started talking before she had even taken off her shoes. “I could smell dinner from the hallway. Your cooking keeps getting better!”Evelyn ran over and wrapped her arms around Winona’s leg. “W

    Winona had always drawn a clear line regarding this. She had also heard from Jasper that Amelia had been freer recently, which was why she called at this time.Amelia hung up after agreeing, then turned to look at Jasper. "So, I'll…""I won't join you ladies. Go ahead," he said with a smile.-A

    Lucia's words were piercing.Amelia held Evelyn's hand and looked calmly at Lucia, smirking."If you think there aren't enough servants in Whitmore Manor, I can tell your son about it so he can give you more allowance. That way, you can hire more servants. If the Zephyrs don't have enough money, w

    It was simply a matter of timing.The National Space Administration thought highly of Amelia and even extended an olive branch her way, but she wasn't in a rush to take it."Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Guthrie, but I still want to improve on myself first."Her priority right now was to st

    Claire didn't think she was capable of helping Amelia. All the more she couldn't afford to drag Amelia down.She wasn't even planning on telling Amelia about Felix's cancer, but she had no choice when Amelia bumped into her at the hospital that day.Claire's body was wracked with sobs. She wanted
