"Chairman Thompson."

Wyatt halted, finally noticing Steven standing before him for, God knows, how long.

"Steven, it's late now. Are you not leaving yet?" He smiled faintly.

"Chairman Thompson, I..." Steven hesitated to speak, feeling a lump in his throat.

"I know you are waiting for Amelia, right?"

Having his thoughts exposed, Steven was awkward and at a loss. After a moment of silence, he guiltily said, "Chairman Thompson, I'm really sorry about my brother. But please believe me. No matter what choice the Lovett family makes, I will also choose the Thompson's side."

Wyatt curled his lips slightly. "This is your family's matter. You don't need to explain it to me. You must have a lot to say to Amelia, right? Have a good talk. I won't disturb you."

His words sent a chill down Steven's spine.

When Steven returned to his senses, Wyatt had gone far.

After a while, Amelia, who had tidied herself up, entered the gate with a dazed expression.

"Amelia!"

Steven immediately rushed forward, opening his arms wide and pulling the girl he loved in a tight hug.

"Steven, you... You're squeezing too tight. I can't breathe." Amelia acted casually and chided.

Steven's eyes were red, refusing to listen to her.

Instead, his shaking shoulders were still squeezing her tighter, and his hot lips landed on her shoulder, leaving a passionate mark. "Sorry. I've made things difficult for you because of my family." Amelia took a deep breath, tears surging in her eyes discreetly. "It's nothing. Don't overthink it."

The two young people in love hugged for a long time before parting hesitantly.

"Steven, during this time... I'll have to plan my career path, so I'll be very busy."

Amelia's voice was soft and low, her eyes flickering with a sad light. "Moreover, I've been studying at Savrow for the past four years and spent little time at Hatchbay. Now that I have more time, I want to stay at home and spend time with my parents. You've just recovered from a serious injury, and Bella said she wanted you to join the KS Group's legal department for training. You must be busy from now on, right?" Steven's breath hitched, and his heart tightened. "Amelia, what are you trying to say?"

"We shouldn't meet for a while." Amelia forced a light smile.

Instantly, Steven's heart felt torn apart. He grabbed her shoulders. "Amelia, did Chairman Thompson pressure you?! Did he forbid you from meeting me?"

Amelia smiled bitterly. She did not dare to tell him the truth, afraid he would break down on the spot.

"No, but so many things happened recently... We should wait for Bella and Justin to handle your brother's matter and when Dad calms down a bit before we meet again. It would be better that way. You should go home, Steven. You didn't get to rest well lately because of your family. Your dark circles are so heavy."

Amelia's fingertips trembled as she gently caressed Steven's reddened eyes, a thousand emotions swirling in her aching heart.

Finally, she could not hold back anymore, standing on her tiptoes to hold her beloved man's face, pressing her lips against his with tears in her eyes.

"Steven, I love you..."

After Bella showered and came out of her room, she happened to bump into Amelia, whose eyes were swollen. Amelia was walking quickly toward her own room.

"Amelia? Amelia!"

However, Amelia pretended not to hear and quickened her steps.
