Looking at Tyler's nervousness, she quickly composed herself and said, "Thank you for the gift! I really like it!"
Tyler finally relaxed. Even though it was just a polite remark, the fact that Amelia didn't lose her temper or throw the gift away in front of him was satisfying enough.
Amelia smiled as she took the little rabbit, looked at it with satisfaction, and then put down the old doll she had been holding for years, the only thing she brought from the home that abandoned her. But just like her rebirth, she understood many things now. After all, she wasn't as foolish as she was in her past life, wanting to get close to that home, not realizing that they despised her and wished she were dead.
This time, she knew who was the best person for her and wouldn't be so ignorant.
"You..."
Tyler was shocked and couldn't believe it, noticing Amelia's happy expression as she accepted his gift. It wasn't just politeness, she really liked it!
The problem was that Tyler knew just how much Amelia treasured that old doll. Watching her put down the doll she had been holding for years and happily embrace the little rabbit, Tyler couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, the palms of his hands hurting from the pressure, just to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
Amelia smiled, her eyes and eyebrows curved. In her previous life, why did she have to be so blind, rejecting such a wonderful man and pursuing something like freedom and sunshine?
She couldn't help herself anymore and took a few steps forward, standing on her toes.
"Smack!" The kiss landed on Tyler's chin.
As for why it was on the chin, it was because of her limited height. Tyler was 198 cm tall, much taller than an average person! Even if she stood on her toes, it still wasn't enough.
Tyler's mind went blank and he was completely disoriented. Even his expressionless face had a hint of color now. A hot breath started to spread throughout his body, and he realized that joy and anger were both uncontrollable emotions.
This must be an illusion, he thought.
Amelia innocently shrugged her shoulders. She didn't mean to scare him, she just couldn't control herself!
"You rest well...I'll go downstairs first!" Tyler's face remained calm and he had no idea that his emotional turmoil was evident to Amelia.
Tyler was almost dumbfounded. He couldn't even remember why he came upstairs to see Amelia in the first place. All he could think was: Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
This was something he wouldn't even dare to dream about. How could this be happening in reality? It must be because he had too much on his mind lately and was under too much pressure, resulting in hallucinations! He walked out in a daze.
Amelia blushed slightly. She had finally gained the courage to do something daring, and now he was leaving. She quickly called out to stop him.
"Hey, Tyler... weren't you here to call me downstairs?" Amelia said sharply.
The sentence made Tyler's face turn white, as if he had been hit by a bucket of cold water, instantly brought back to reality.
Yes, he had forced himself onto Amelia last night, that was the reality.
"Yes, I have something to tell you," Tyler's voice returned to its usual monotone.
Amelia nodded in agreement. Tyler's reaction was normal, after years of resistance, she couldn't expect him to immediately believe in her heart. But it didn't matter, he would eventually understand.
"Turn around!" Amelia's voice was soft and tender.
"What?" Tyler suppressed his emotions and didn't react immediately.
"Weren't you going to take me downstairs? If you don't turn around, how am I supposed to change? Do you want to watch me change clothes?"
"..."
Tyler's panicked footsteps hurriedly walked to the door, not only turning around, but also leaving the room. Amelia pouted, thinking to herself, "let's see how long you can stay gloomy!"
