Chapter 99: A Candy
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Inside the transparent candy wrapper was pink candy that looked like strawberry. Amelia asked Oliver, “Is it for me?”
Oliver nodded.
Amelia thought for a moment and asked, “There’s only one. Is it specially for me?” She felt that it was better to ask clearly before eating the candy. There were two people, but there was only one candy. It was not enough. What if he wanted to eat it after she ate it?
Oliver turned around, his face filled with arrogance. “No, I picked it up at the door.”
Amelia nodded. After confirming that Oliver was not eating, she reached out to pick up the candy. She moved very quickly and even stole a glance at the side. Eldest Uncle and Uncle James were talking. While the adults were not paying attention, Amelia quickly peeled off the candy wrapper and quickly threw it into her mouth. Then, she sat upright, placed her small hands on her knees, and looked straight ahead.
Oliver: “…” He looked down at his palm. When Amelia was holding the candy just now, her fingers touched his palm. It felt a little like his pet scratching his palm…
Oliver asked, “Does the candy taste good?”
Amelia nodded. “It’s delicious… Shh, don’t make a fuss.” If her eldest uncle found out, he wouldn’t let her eat it.
Oliver looked straight ahead. After a while, he asked in a low voice, “Are you very afraid of your eldest uncle?”
Amelia had a fruit candy in her mouth. “I’m not afraid. It’s just that one of my teeth is rotten. Eldest Uncle and Grandma don’t allow me to eat candy anymore.”
Oliver said, “You shouldn’t have eaten it.” If he had known, he wouldn’t have brought her candy.
When Amelia heard this, she quickly covered her mouth. “It’s impossible to spit out what entered Mia’s mouth!”
Oliver glanced at her from the corner of his eye and saw that Amelia’s face was round like a little rabbit that had secretly eaten carrots. She was extremely cute.
Oliver immediately retracted his gaze. “Thank you for that day.” He pulled a long face and stared at the ritual table in front of him.
Amelia was eating the candy seriously and feeling the sweetness in her mouth when she suddenly heard Oliver thank her. She was stunned for a moment.
“Huh?”
Oliver did not say anything else. On the ceremonial stage, the emcee rambled
on and on. He found it boring and could not help but look at Amelia again. She seemed to have finished eating the candy and licked her lips as if she had not had enough. He asked, “Why do you like candy so much?”
Amelia hugged her cup and drank water as she said, “Because the candy is very sweet. After eating it, I’m in a good mood and don’t feel that life is bitter anymore.”
Oliver was stunned. It was difficult to imagine that Amelia had said this. Her little face was sincere and innocent as she blinked twice. “In the past, when I was beaten up by my stepmother, and when Dad didn’t listen to my explanation, I was very sad.” This sadness was probably what adults meant by life being bitter. Then, she accidentally picked up a candy under the sofa. At that time, she was so hungry. After eating it, she immediately remembered this sweet taste.
Oliver remained silent, but he remembered Amelia’s words in his heart and remembered that she liked to eat candy.
On the stage, the emcee was still eloquent. Soon, it was the person-in-charge of Glory Entertainment’s turn to speak. Everyone dragged time and dragged the ribbon-cutting ceremony to 10:18 am.
In the viewing gallery, those who knew what had just happened backstage couldn’t help but look at the time. They were just waiting for the clock to strike 10:18 am. They wanted to see what kind of auspicious light there would be at that time!
“Children make things up. Do you really believe it? If an auspicious light really appears later, then let me go bald.”
“President Walton dotes on the child too much. He listens to the child even when it’s such a big matter.”
Everyone whispered. Clearly, no one believed Amelia’s words. They even felt that her divination just now was too pretentious. They did not know what television drama she usually watched at home and learned such nonsense.
Finally, it was almost time. Everyone quietened down and stared at the host’s stage. “On this festive day full of spring, let us give a warm applause to
President Duncan of Glory Entertainment and President Walton of the Walton
Corporation to cut the ribbon on stage!”
When Amelia heard this, she immediately clapped her hands hard. George straightened his buttons and patted Amelia’s head. “Be good and stay here with Uncle Erik. Don’t run around.”
Amelia: “Okay!” As if to ensure that she would not run around, she even grabbed Erik’s finger. Erik’s finger was suddenly grabbed. He was first stunned, then he looked at Amelia in front of him and his heart softened.
Erik: “President Walton, don’t worry.”
George nodded and walked onto the stage..
