Chapter 545
Amelia was already a little tipsy, but Steven’s unexpected embrace
made her sober in an instant.
Her peach-like face, ears, and slender neck were all adorned with a
rosy blush.
“Ms. Amelia, please be careful.”
Steven assumed she was heavily intoxicated because she could not
stand up straight.
Genuine concern filled his eyes as he wrapped his arms around her
soft and supple waist, holding her even closer.
His throat suddenly felt dry, and his heart skipped a beat. Amelia’s
slender waist felt weightless in his grasp. The softness captivated
him for a brief moment, and a sigh escaped his heart.
However, he was a gentleman with integrity-far from someone with
impure intentions.
Steven quickly regained his composure, leaving no trace of his inner thoughts on his handsome face.
“Steve, you’ll be responsible for taking my sister home tonight!” Bella
was usually attentive, but she really let her guard down in the
presence of those close to her. So, she seemed to be unaware of the
subtle connection between the two.
Bella waved casually before leaving, linking arms with Asher.
With only the two of them left, the atmosphere became some hot awkward, leaving Amelia and Steven uneasy.
“Uh... Bella! Bella!” Amelia weakly called out twice, her face turning red and her heart pounding.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Amelia,” Steven reassured her, his eyes gentle and his tone solemn. “I promised Ms. Bella that I would make
sure you got back to school safely.”
“No, Mr. Lovett, it’s not necessary. I only had a little wine, and I’m not drunk.” Amelia pressed her rosy lips together, lowered her
eyes, and pushed him away gently. She was determined to show that she was
not drunk.
On the other hand, Steven was deeply concerned about her. Hel
embraced her once more and said, “You insist that you’re not drunk.
But last time you said the same thing, and yet...”
As the words trailed off, both of them were startled. What suddenly. unfolded before their minds was the passionate kiss shared
that night, tinged with love.
Steven was staring at Amelia absentmindedly, resembling a porcelain. doll with rosy cheeks. His heart was in disarray, and a
vague, subtle
sensation quietly surged within his chest.
“Mr. Lovett... Last time, I had too much to drink. I’m sorry!”
Amelia appeared helpless. Her eyes were filled with remorse and
turned red.
If she were a bolder girl, she might have taken this opportunity to
confess to Steven.
However, Amelia lacked confidence and was shy, just like her mot
Celeste. She could only keep this love hidden deep within her he
Despite the fact that Steven was a kind and gentle man and that they had actually shared a kiss, Steven belonged to Bella.
Amelia did not want to get involved with her sister’s man.
“Ms. Amelia...” Steven’s voice was hoarse, and his Adam’s apple
rolled as he asked, “Was that... Your first kiss?”
“It’s okay, Mr. Lovett. I drank too much. You don’t have to overthink it.” Amelia responded with a forced smile.
“Was it really your first time?”
The immense guilt tugged at the core of his heart like a sharp pair of tweezers. He took a step back, bowing deeply to Amelia.
“I’m sorry,
Ms. Amelia! It’s my fault! Please tell me, how can I make it up to you?”
Amelia’s throbbing heart suddenly seemed to freeze. As she watched the person she liked express only guilt and respect for her,
bitterness
flooded her entire body.
“Mr. Lovett, it’s okay. It really is.”
Amelia forced back the tears that were starting to well up in her eyes
and took a deep breath.
She reached out to help him up. “If you truly want to m
