Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 67

However, although she sold herself, she didn’t save her Leigh!

Thinking of Leigh, she cannot help choking up.

Hiding her sadness, Amelia raised head, saying to Arthur word by word, “At that night, I sold myself at a price of 100 million, and I got 10 million.”

“Arthur, thank you for your constant kindness to me, but I am not as good as you imagine.”

After finishing, Amelia lost all of her strength. She just stood still there, waiting her trial from Arthur.

She looked at the man sipping his lips in front of her. Amelia was in great panic as if she was caught by her family when she was doing something immoral.

She was worried that Arthur would slap her on her face and scold her just as the parents who caught their child doing that thing.

She must be very sad if Arthur scolded her.

She wouldn’t like to hear such words from his mouth, so she herself will be the one who said that.

“Arthur, do you think that I am a slut? In fact, I also think I am really a slut…”

Suddenly, she was hugged into strong arms. Arthur held her so tightly and kept saying, “Amelia, I don’t think you are a slut. I said that you are the best girl in the world in my heart, forever!”

Amelia cannot help and burst into tears. With tears rolling down, she covered her mouth, trying not to cry out, but failed.

“Leigh was dead…”

Amelia buried her head against Arthur’s chest. “I got 10 million in the Rose, but I didn’t rescue my Leigh. My Leigh was killed by them…”

Her depression was pouring down at this point. Regardless of the time and the place, Amelia just felt like pouring her grievance to this man, as she did that to her father or brother.

“I called you and I tried some other ways, but I cannot raise 10 million yuan the kidnappers wanted. I know I am dirty, but what I only wanted was my son to be alive!”

Arthur held Amelia even more tightly. Feeling her tears wetting his shirt, his heart was nearly broken.

He really didn’t think she was a slut, but worried about her a lot. He was also mad at Lawrence.

Lawrence should humiliate Amelia by that way, instead of giving her the money to save his own son.

He was also mad at himself. Why did he go aboard?

If he kept company with his little girl, she would never have suffered a lot. Perhaps her son wouldn’t have been dead.

“Amelia, sorry! I shouldn’t have gone aboard. It’s all my fault.”

Arthur softly petted the back of Amelia, as if he was coaxing a baby girl. “Amelia, I will never leave you again. I will protect you from the harm forever.”

Hearing what Arthur said, more tears rolled down from Amelia’s eyes.

He didn’t scold her, but said sorry to her.

Why was he so kind?

He was so kind that she would like to be alive for him only. She wanted to be with him for her lifetime.

But it was just a fancy dream!

“Amelia, you said you come here for Leigh’s last wish. What is Leigh’s last wish?” Arthur released Amelia and asked.

Leigh’s last wish was that Rufus could sing little stars to him once again.

Thinking of Leigh, Amelia began to sob again. With a tight throat, she cannot utter a complete sentence.

So she had to take out a Leigh’s notebook, showing the last page to Arthur.

“Uncle Moss, I am so eager to hear you to sing Little Stars to me again.”

“After I die, could you sing Little Stars to me in front of my tomb.”

Arthur softly felt the little notebook, staring at the neat Chinese characters. At the moment, he seemed to see a little boy sitting beside the window with a notebook in his arm, missing someone.

The tears were about to roll down, but were held back by him. Arthur worried that Amelia would be sadder with his tears rolling down. He forced a big smile, “Amelia, I can also sing Little Stars! Leigh liked me so much. He will be very happy if I sing the song to him.”

“Amelia, let’s go now and I sing the song to Leigh.”

At that night, Arthur really sang Little Stars to Leigh.

He sang the song to Leigh from dust to dawn, with red eyes, until his voice became hoarse.

At that night, there were no stars in the sky, but Amelia did see stars scattering the sky, leaning against his shoulder.

She said inside “Arthur, I promise you the next life. In the next life, I will go and find you healthily. Holding your hand, I will keep company with you for the lifelong days…”

With a will to let Lillian pay her price, Amelia decided to begin with the head of the kidnappers, Orion to collect the evidence.

As long as she can find the weakness of Orionor she took a video or photos of their talk to prove that he had an illicit association with Lillian, she can rip off Lillian’s disguise. Beside, Lillian had to be prisoned because of Leigh’s death.

Amelia didn’t tell Arthur her thoughts. She was clear that he will support her if he knew what she was going to do. But Arthur and Lillian were brother and sister, Amelia wouldn’t like to put him into a dilemma.

Amelia had the telephone number of Orion. After recharging her phone, she thought to give him a call directly. But with the second thought, she bought a new SIM card and then gave a call to Orion.

Actually, Amelia was good at disguising. If she deliberately changed her voice, Orion cannot recognize her voice.

“Hello, Mr. Griffiths, Miss Palmer lets me give you a call.”

“Lillian Palmer? What the hell does she want to do? You tell her I will put her in a world of pain if she dared to burn the bridges.”

“Mr. Griffiths, don’t be so angry. She lets me call and pay you. could you give me your bank account.”

This number was a secret one for Orion. He used this number to call Lillian only, except for the wrong call to Amelia.

He had added Amelia’s number to the black list, and he didn’t expect that Amelia will call him. What’s more, his talk with Lillian last time didn’t end well. After answering this call, he thought that Lillian wanted to pay him and cut off their relationship. So he was so angry.

“You tell Lillian that let her dream that she can cut off the relationship with me. I go and see her now!”

This call worked better that Amelia had imagined. So she took the phone and left for Lillian’s house.

If she was lucky enough, she can take a video of a talk between Orion and Lillian.
