Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick)
Chapter 494

Tiffany responded to her calmly, "I heard you. I'm just wondering where Miss Brittany's conclusion came from. I'm here to deliver a wedding dress, which is also to say to send my blessing, but you've concluded that I'm cursing your marriage?"

Brittany glared her dazzling eyes at Tiffany and said, "Isn't that so? What did you mean by 'If you need anything next time, we welcome you again'? Are you sure you're not cursing me?"

"Haha..." Tiffany chuckled airily while covering her mouth. She seemed to be laughing at Brittany's ignorance. "Miss Brittany, it seems that the Scarlet Clothing's reputation is still not well-known enough. Otherwise, you wouldn't have misunderstood us. Our company doesn't just make wedding dresses. I noticed that Mrs. Green has a good disposition and some dress would be very suitable for her, so I sincerely welcomed her to visit us next time.

But I didn't expect Miss Brittany to think that I was talking about you, even assuming that I was cursing the happiness of your marriage with Mr. Daniel. I was wondering, could it be that Miss Brittany was suffering too great of pre-marital stress, and that was what caused Miss Brittany to act on hearsay?"

Brittany reciprocated the tit for tat, "I think you are in cahoots with Amelia and are trying to humiliate me with this piece of ragged dress!"

"Ragged dress?" Tiffany narrowed her eyes and said in a hushed voice, "Miss Brittany is allowed to mock me, but please don't insult the craftsmanship of the thirty-six masters in our company!" Brittany peered at the astounding wedding dress and pretended to replace it unpleasant. "It looks like their craft is just so-so. The streets are filled with this typical style of wedding dresses anyway."

"Brittany! Are you done?" Alice, who was standing by the side, could not take it anymore and reprimanded Brittany.

Brittany pouted and said discontentedly, "Mom, what's wrong with you? You've never helped me and only side with this outsider!"

"How dare you!" A hint of disapproval flashed across Alice's gentle appearance.

Brittany let out a coquettish snort, turned to leave, and paid no attention to anybody else.

As for her daughter's insensibility, Alice shook her head helplessly and said to Tiffany, who was not particularly pleased, "I'm sorry, Tiffany. My daughter has been spoiled since young and spoke impolitely. I sincerely apologize to you on her behalf."

Tiffany refused to bother with people like Brittany. So, she simply replied, "Mrs. Green, it's not that serious. If there's nothing else, I'll go first."

Alice said reasonably, "I'll send you off."

After watching Tiffany leave, Alice went back to Brittany, who was sulking on the sofa, and asked, "Brittany, why are you behaving like a hedgehog and pricking on anyone you meet?" Brittany turned her body to face Alice and complained, "Mom! I just don't like this wedding dress that Amelia selected for me! I feel sick just looking at it!"

Hearing this, Alice's expression turned cold. "If you think it's disgusting, then why did you only say that now? Mom had already passed on all your sister's suggestions to you. If you don't like the wedding dress style that your sister picked, then you can contact the domestic and foreign named brands and companies yourself!"

"I!" said Brittany as she straightened her neck, feeling wronged.

Alice explained patiently, "I know what you're thinking. You don't wish to accept your sister's arrangement and want to be the most glamourous that awes thousands. But how is that possible? We're lucky to even be able to get our hands on such a wedding dress in this short time."

Brittany bit her lips and said with embarrassment, "But... Mom, I feel awkward thinking that I'll be wearing the dress Amelia chose for me and marry Daniel in two days, as if... I'm Amelia's substitute!" Alice could not help laughing. "Brittany, you're overthinking. You're the one Daniel loves."

Brittany looked into Alice's loving eyes as if she was replaceing the warmth she was looking for. "Mom, you are the closest person to me in this world, so you can't lie to me. Do you really think Daniel loves me?" Alice frowned and looked at Brittany worryingly. "Brittany, what kind of stupid question is that? I think you're under too much stress before your marriage. How about this... Don't stay up late for the next two days. Go to bed early and stop overthinking all day long."

Brittany insisted, "Mom, did you overthink like me when you married dad?"

Alice caressed Brittany's small face sympathetically and said with nostalgic melancholy, "Your father and I felt much more complicated than you when we registered our marriage."

"Then you... vomit!" Brittany was about to ask more questions when she was hit with a wave of nausea in her stomach. By the time she realized what was happening, she had already dashed into the

restroom.

"Brittany, what's wrong with you?" Alice, who was left behind, switched her expression and scrambled to see what was going on.

She found Brittany retching against the toilet bowl. Even though she puked for a long time, she did not spit much out. After a long moment, she stopped. She said, looking pained, "Mom, water..." "Oh, alright!" Alice came to her senses, reached out to pick up Brittany's rinsing cup, filled it with water, then passed it into her hand.

Brittany opened her mouth and took a big gulp. She rinsed the filth in her mouth and spat the dirty water out into the toilet bowl. Then she straightened her back and said to Alice, looking pallid, "Mom, I'm better now..."

Instead of feeling relieved, Alice inquired with concern, "Brittany, you don't look fine at all. Did you feel unwell recently but didn't tell me?"

Brittany wiped her strained mouth with a towel and said, "Maybe it's because I ate too much at noon and had a stomachache. It's okay, mom."

Alice thought for a moment and asked seriously, "Brittany, before the holiday, did you come back from school to see Daniel, or did Daniel went to the school to replace you?"

Brittany tucked her drooping hair behind her ears and said, "I always went back to Northville for Daniel whenever it was the school holidays. As for Daniel, he rarely came to replace me ever since he became a manager. He always said that he was busy..."

Alice looked at the loneliness in her daughter's expression and said with a hint of helplessness in her gaze, "Then how long has it been since your last period?"

"Huh?" Brittany was dismayed. Subconsciously, she started counting. "One... About one month?"

Alice's eyes lit up. She was pleasantly surprised. "Brittany, could you be...pregnant?"

"Pregnant?" Brittany's face was filled with confusion. "But Daniel and I have agreed that we'll have a baby after I graduate from university. That's why we've been using contraceptive methods all this while." Alice said, "Brittany, it doesn't matter what type of contraception measures you two used, but there is always a possibility of getting accidental pregnancy. You might very well have vomited due to morning sickness!"

Brittany covered her lower abdomen with her hand unintentionally and asked in a trembling voice, bewildered, "Mom, are you saying that I'm having a baby in my belly?"
