"Okay, mom. I'll do what you say," agreed Amelia. Initially, she wanted to wait for Lucian first before she made a decision. But Fannie wouldn't let go of her so she was forced to do so.
However, although she had already made a promise to Fannie, she would still consult with Lucian when he returned. He could still make his own decision about this matter.
"That's good. I have been talking with you for quite a while. I'm glad that my efforts pay off," replied Fannie with a smile. A trace of satisfaction showed on her face as she stood up.
She then turned to Clara and Nina for some instructions. "Clara, Nina, please listen to everything that Amelia will say to you. And remember, you have to take good care of the young master."
"Please rest assured that we will do our best, Mrs. Fannie. We will work hard for the young master," replied Clara. Fannie nodded in satisfaction before she turned to leave. Nina then escorted her all the way to the door. Amelia followed behind them. "Take care, mom," she said politely before Nina closed the door.
When Fannie was gone, the big living room suddenly became quiet.
Amelia had actually planned to go to the flower shop after breakfast because Courtney had promised to take care of Mark. But since Fannie suddenly came and stayed for a while, it would already be lunchtime soon.
She didn't feel good about it. Her flower shop had just opened recently but it had been closed more often. This was not good for the business. Although making money was not the main reason why she had started this business, getting more loyal customers would be much satisfying for her. But that would only happen if her shop had stable business hours.
Amelia was absorbed in her thoughts that she had almost forgotten the presence of the two new servants. "Mrs. Amelia, please let us know what we can do for you," said Nina respectfully.
Amelia was dazed for quite some time. Sh
uffer even a little grievance in the future," replied Lucian sweetly.
Amelia couldn't help blushing. She asked the question in a very serious manner but Lucian responded with a sweet smile. "Don't get me wrong. I just want our family to have a warm and harmonious relationship with each other. That is why as much as possible, I don't want to create conflict with your mom," she tried to explain. "That's what my mom is like. The more obedient you are to her, the more aggressive she will become. My father is a living example." Lucian frowned and sighed helplessly at the thought of his father.
"Since my biological mother passed away, she has been taking care of me. From that time, she has been trying to control my life but she always fails. Eventually, she has to give up and let me do whatever I want," Lucian added. Amelia had respected and obeyed Fannie because she was Lucian's mother.
But now Lucian reminded her of something. Fannie wasn't really Lucian's biological mother. She was just his aunt who assumed the responsibility of being a mother to him when his real mother passed away. That was the reason why Fannie also assumed the authority of a mother-in-law to her. "Lucian, I am such an idiot. In your letter to me before, you have mentioned that your mother passed away. How can I neglect such important information?" Amelia sounded very apologetic.
"Mrs. Amelia, let me remind you. This is not the first or second time you are being silly." Lucian satirized her mercilessly.
Amelia was left speechless. It was actually true.
Because of being softhearted, every decision she made would always end up in trouble. And Lucian was always the one to resolve it for her.
"Well, you said that being smart is your business, and I'm only responsible for being stupid, right?" Amelia stuck out her tongue playfully.
Lucian smiled but said nothing. Instead, he just stared dotingly on his lovely wife.
