Chapter 119 Go to the Carter's Mansion
Richard called out to Amy. She answered but didn't look at him.
Seeing that Amy was too busy to pay attention to him, Richard walked over to hold Amy and rubbed his
head on her shoulder.
"Amy, it's been a long time." Richard acted cute. He never knew that he could act cute.
"Yes," Amy answered casually. She was reading the document and thinking about how to deal with it.
She wasn't really listening.
Amy had been busy since he asked her to help him with his work, so he decided not to bother Amy
before she finished the work.
Just when Richard was nearly killed by the boredom, his phone rang. Seeing that it was his
grandfather, he hurriedly sat upright and picked up the phone.
"Hi, Grandpa, is there anything I can do for you?" Richard respected John very much.
"Oh, OK. I'll ask Amy. Wait a moment. Hold on." Richard covered the phone.
He asked Amy, "Amy, Grandpa asked us to go back for dinner tonight."
"Oh. I'm not going," Amy refused. She didn't want to go back to the mansion.
"OK, I'll tell Grandpa." Richard deliberately said slowly.
Amy turned around to look at Richard and his phone. John was very kind to her when he visited her.
Thinking of this, she couldn't bear to let John down.
"No, don't tell him. I'll go with you." Amy decided to go back to the mansion. She did not want to before
because the marriage between Richard and her was contractual and only lasted for two years.
It was different now. Since they decided to be together for the rest of their lives, Amy had to meet
Richard's family.
Richard snickered. He knew that Amy was kind and she would say yes. He stopped covering the phone
and said to John, "OK, we'll be back for dinner tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Richard was in a particularly good mood. Amy was so nice and
considerate. Richard didn't need to worry about her. What a lucky man he was!
"Amy, this should be enough." Amy had bought so many gifts for John. Richard was almost crushed by
the weight. And Amy got some in her hands too. This was the first time Amy went to the Carter's
mansion. Amy was so nervous that she bought a lot of things.
"OK, let's go now." Amy checked everything she bought. There were presents for everyone. When This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Richard told her about his family, Amy didn't realize it was such a big family. Now with all the presents
she had to prepare, she truly got the point.
Amy put the things in the car and she felt that her hands were almost broken. Fortunately, Richard
helped her carry the heavy things. Otherwise, she wouldn't possibly carry such heavy stuff here.
"Amy, there you are." John had been waiting at the door for a long time with his walking stick. When
Richard told him that they were coming, he was so excited. When it was time for Amy and Richard to
get off work, John insisted on waiting them at the door.
"Grandpa, sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go in." Richard asked the servants to take the gifts in.
Amy and he helped John into the house.
John complained about Richard coming back so late and keeping Amy hungry.
When they entered the house, the Carters were already sitting at the big dining table, their eyes on
Amy.
Amy didn't know anyone except Cathy and Hilary.
"Come on. Have a seat!" Cathy helped John to his seat and asked Richard and Amy to take a seat.
Today was the first time Amy had come to the Carter's mansion. John gathered all the members of the
family except Richard's father, Halbert Carter. He was abroad taking care of Richard's grandmother,
who was recuperating there.
Amy sat down. She felt the different gazes from each member of the family. Some were inspecting,
some disdainful, and some hostile.
But they went back to normal when Amy looked up to greet everyone.
"Today is the first time Amy has come to our house. They will also move in to live with us. I would like
to see that our family live together happily. Since we're a family, I hope we'll help each other. Amy is a
good girl. You must look out for her." John gave orders to the family at the dining table.
"We will, Grandpa. You've always taught us to be kind and take care of one another." A young woman
hurriedly replied. After she finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at Amy. There wasn't much
kindness as she said in her eyes. Instead, there was hostility.
Amy looked at the young woman. She had curly hair and wore make-up. Her already pretty face looked
even more delicate with that makeup.
Seeing that Amy was looking at her, Sophia immediately put on a smile.
"Amy, we're family now. I am Sophia White. My husband is Richard's second brother." Sophia was
hospitable, but Amy felt uncomfortable.
"Hi, Sophia." Amy greeted. She was not happy. She had heard of Sophia who was Gina's cousin. It
was said that Sophia was once abroad and married a very wealthy man.
Gina had always been proud of that and often showed it off. Amy was surprised that Sophia's rich
husband was Richard's brother.
"This is the first time we meet. I have prepared a small gift for you. I hope you would like it." Sophia
handed the gift she had prepared to Amy.
"Thank you, Sophia. This is a gift for you. I hope you'd like it." Amy took it over from Richard and
handed it to Sophia.
Everyone exchanged gifts with Amy. They looked harmonious and John thus was happy. He looked at
them and wouldn't stop smiling.
John was a family man and loved family traditions. He liked to have his family together, his children and
grandchildren around him, which to him was the joy of family.
"Alright, you are so considerate. I don't have anything for you. I'll just give each one of you some lucky
money. I wish you all great happiness in life." John clapped his hands and the butler came in with a
tray. The red envelopes on it looked heavy.
"You must be hungry. Amy, it's so late and I think you're hungry after a long day at work. Let’s start our
dinner. Help yourself." John was afraid that Amy was hungry, but etiquette was necessary.
When the servants heard John announcing dinner, they came in and soon the big table was full of
delicious dishes.
