Amelia Clarke replied with a smile, "I'm not visiting Granny Moreland in her ward now, not because I'm afraid, but because..."
She slowly curved her lips, a faint sarcasm pulling at the corners of her mouth, "Because... I understand what is called, the propriety a girl should maintain."
Her words successfully made Serene Abel's face change color.
Amelia's mocking smile intensified as she continued, "Owen and I just confirmed our relationship, Owen's family doesn't even know about my existence yet, how could I shamelessly insist on visiting Owen's relatives at this time? My mom told me since I was little that a girl must understand modesty, that people will like you only if you know when to advance and retreat... Oh! Speaking of propriety, Miss Abel probably doesn't know what propriety is, right?"
