Tyler Davis hugged Amelia tightly, clutching the wolf's fang pendant in his hand. Amelia was puzzled by Tyler Davis's sudden change of emotions and could only let him hold her and ask, "Tyler Davis, what's wrong? Don't you like it?"
Tyler Davis's deep voice sounded above her head, "I love it. There's nothing I like more." Amelia smiled. It was her first time giving a gift, and of course, she hoped Tyler Davis would like it. She had spent her spare time over the past month, carefully crafting and embedding it, just to give it to him.
Just as the deputy officer Jacob Anderson entered the room and saw the intimate scene of the two embracing, he quickly silenced himself, lowered his head, and kept quiet. Amelia was held tightly by Tyler Davis and even tilted her neck to nod at Jacob Anderson.
Tyler Davis saw Jacob Anderson come in and restrained his emotions, releasing Amelia and carefully putting away the wolf's fang. Amelia thought Tyler Davis had to deal with official business and was about to go upstairs, but Tyler Davis grabbed her hand and made her sit next to him. He held her small hand with his warm, large hand.
Amelia looked at Jacob Anderson and didn't feel shy or embarrassed. Instead, she sat closer to Tyler Davis and even hugged his arm, giving her other hand for Tyler Davis to play with. She felt it was normal and justified to be close to Tyler Davis. If it was justified, why should she be shy?
Jacob Anderson didn't know where to look. Tyler Davis was slightly stunned and let out a low chuckle. He found Amelia so cute. Jacob Anderson was surprised by Amelia's reaction and heard Tyler Davis's laughter, which made him widen his eyes.
The usually serious Jacob Anderson suddenly looked like he was in shock. The general actually laughed. He had never heard the general laugh in his lifetime. How was this possible?
"Speak, what's the matter?" Tyler Davis spoke with the same cold and indifferent tone, but Jacob Anderson could sense a hint of good mood.
Jacob Anderson pinched his thigh hard before reacting and quickly reported, "General, the head of the Ramirez family will bring Miss Ava Ramirez to your house tomorrow. Rumor has it that they intend to form an alliance between our two families. The old man wants you to come back home tomorrow."
After finishing, Jacob Anderson looked at Amelia, hoping to see her reaction. But she was still clinging to the General's arm like a spoiled cat, with no change in her expression.
However, Amelia was listening and noticed that Jacob Anderson referred to Ava Ramirez as "Miss" instead of "Vice Admiral Wang." This meant that Ava Ramirez was no longer Tyler Davis's vice admiral, and the reason might be that she had expressed her dislike of Ava Ramirez on Forest Peak, asking him to keep his distance from her.
At the time, Tyler Davis didn't say anything, but who knew that just a month later, Ava Ramirez was no longer his vice admiral.
"Hmph, Mason Brown's plan is working well. Do those two women from Tyler Davis's family really think they can decide my affairs?" Tyler Davis said coldly.
"Do we need to do something?" Jacob Anderson said with a dark tone.
Amelia watched with interest. It was true that one's subordinates reflected their master's character. Both Jacob Anderson and Tyler Davis had a tendency for scheming.
"No need. Since they want to talk about marriage, I, as the protagonist, naturally have to go back home!" Tyler Davis said coldly. "Get ready, tomorrow I will take Amelia back to Tyler Davis's house!"
"Yes, General!" Jacob Anderson respectfully retreated.
Amelia didn't expect to hear such explosive news as soon as she came back, and Tyler Davis was taking her back to his house!
"Tyler Davis, is it okay for me to go to your house?" Amelia asked hesitantly.
"With me there, it's okay. You can go to Tyler Davis's house!" Tyler Davis said domineeringly.
"Well, then I'll go and take a look."
Amelia knew her identity was problematic. She was a plaything given to Tyler Davis by someone else and could not be shown in public. Of course, this was just a surface issue. The deeper reason was her special bloodline. If it were exposed like in her past life, Amelia would become a hated character.
There weren't many people who knew about her special bloodline, except for Tyler Davis, her former family, and Ava Ramirez, who accidentally found out. Even the people who gave her to Tyler Davis had no idea.
This special bloodline was her fatal weakness.
Her former family couldn't tell anyone about this identity because they denied Amelia's existence altogether. They would rather pretend that such a person had never existed. If they talked about it, they might implicate themselves.
If Ava Ramirez knew, it was purely accidental. Tyler Davis had read in a psychology book that extremists may be driven by loneliness and decided that Amelia needed a friend. After much searching, he settled on his only female officer, Ava Ramirez, who had served under him for two years and had excellent character and judgment. However, Tyler Davis overlooked the jealousy that women can harbor.
As a result, in the course of caring for Amelia, Ava Ramirez accidentally discovered her true identity and began to look down on her despite her gentle and kind appearance. In a previous life, Ava Ramirez had used this to torment Amelia under the guise of caring for her.
Now, Amelia and Ava Ramirez are at odds, and Tyler Davis naturally will not let her continue to care for Amelia. However, Ava Ramirez knows the secret about Amelia's bloodline, and Tyler Davis cannot let her leave with that dangerous knowledge.
Knowing Tyler Davis's nature, Amelia understands that he never trusts promises and can only feel secure by holding Ava Ramirez's lifeline. Tyler Davis is cold-blooded and ruthless, and he means business.
For the past month, they have been collecting enough leverage on Ava Ramirez to ensure that she will not reveal Amelia's identity. Amelia has guessed this, but she does not ask. After all, Tyler Davis has done so much for her.
Tyler Davis pinches her slightly wrinkled nose and lovingly leads Amelia into the villa. It's dinner time, and the servants are setting up the table with all of Amelia's favorite dishes, nearly filling up the large table. Tyler Davis helps Amelia wipe her face and hands with a damp towel.
No one can believe that the notoriously brutal and cold Tyler Davis can be so gentle with a person. Amelia grips the chopsticks with slightly damp palms, and there is already plenty of food in her bowl.
"You should eat too. Don't worry about me. You're spoiling me too much," Amelia says.
Since she declared her feelings for Tyler Davis, he has become even more indulgent towards her, with no boundaries.
"As long as you're willing, you can be spoiled for a lifetime," Tyler Davis says solemnly.
Although it's a slightly ambiguous statement, Tyler Davis is serious. Amelia knows how sincere he can be, especially since he spent a lifetime proving it in his previous life. This time, she cannot afford to be spoiled and will be the one to protect him.
