Chapter 563 When Should We Meet?

Meanwhile, in the Evans Manor...

1/5

After running a check-up on James, Stella frowned and explained, "Mr. Evans, on top of the few occurrences of gastrorrhagia, you haven't eaten or drank anything for the past few days, and you've overworked yourself. You are not in good shape. If you don't take proper rest, I'm afraid that your body might not be able to handle it."

James didn't take Stella seriously at all. He sat on the sofa in the study, staring out the window in a daze.

His eyes, which used to be bright like the stars, were empty and lifeless right then. They were like a black hole, not a single ray of light could break through.

Stella shook her head looking at him being in this state. After sticking an IV needle into the back of his hand, she once again told him, "Mr. Evans, without keeping your body in good condition, how are you going to win Ms. Garcia back? Pull yourself together and stop torturing yourself."

Stella did not receive any response from James so she stopped speaking. She got up and left the study with her medical bag in hand.

Once Stella left, James slowly retracted his gaze and glanced in the direction of the safe. After staring at it for a while, he suddenly got up.

He pulled the IV needle, walked to the safe, and raised his slender fingers to key in the password before retrieving his personal phone from it. After charging it, he turned it on just in time to see a message from Amelia.

"Mr. Shawn, since you know that I'm still alive, you should set up a time for us to meet and explain yourself properly."

"Mr. Shawn, you used to reply so quickly. Why don't you dare to reply now? Are you feeling guilty?"

"Mr. Shawn, are you too scared to see me? How did you have the guts to send me thousands of messages when you're such a coward?" "Mr. Shawn, why aren't you picking up my calls?"

"Mr. Shawn, I'll ask you out one more time. Let's set up a time for us to meet. Are you coming?"

There were several other messages where she proposed to meet him.

James was frozen after reading the texts.

When he checked the timestamps, he realized that they were sent after he went to the National Space Administration. It had been more than a month since then. After Amelia returned to the US as Skender, she didn't hear from Mr. Shawn and ended up blocking him. Why did she suddenly unblock him and even ask him out?

James stared at the messages. He read through them several times, but still didn't quite understand. Even so, regardless of why she wanted to meet up with him, at least she was willing to meet Mr. Shawn. James' dull eyes showed a hint of color, and he typed with his slender fingers.

He tapped on the send button, then gripped the phone nervously, waiting for a reply that would never come.

After Amelia heard James' voice on the phone, she was a little confused. She kept losing focus.

Neil noticed it so he picked up a brick and tapped it on her safety hat.

"The last thing you want to do at a construction site is getting distracted, especially when you are collecting data!" he nagged.

With Neil's reminder, Amelia quickly pushed her thoughts

behind her and concentrated on following him around the construction site.

After jotting down the data, they began to communicate with the project leader about the desired style of design..

The second project that Skender took over was different from that of the National Space Administration's. She had gone back to designing totally ordinary buildings. What they wanted was a commercial building with some special features. It would be used as an office building so Amelia would be facing more limitations in the design. Amelia listened carefully. She took notes and repeatedly discussed the style of design before ending the conversation with the project leader.

She put away her notebook, then looked at Neil who was following her. He hadn't interrupted the whole time. "Was I good enough this time, Mr. Sherwood?"

Neil forced a smile out of his stiff mouth. "If I had to rate you out of ten, I would give you a three at most."

Holding the notebook in her arms, Amelia glanced at him speechlessly.

Neil looked at the darkening sky and urged her. "Hurry up and book a hotel, I'm sleepy."

Amelia looked at him. "Didn't you bring your phone?"

Chapter 563 When Should We Meet? Checkily, he replied, "I have no money."

She scoffed. "You are a dignified chief architect. How can you have no money?"

At the mention of money, Neil was filled with resentment. "You managed to get your one million back, but I didn't. How could I have any money?"

Initially, she had lost more money than him, so he didn't feel too bitter about it. Who knew that James would only help Amelia get her money back, and leave Neil to fend for himself? Looking at Neil's petty behavior, Amelia shook her head. "Mr. Sherwood, if you ever get married, I'll chop my own head off."

Unconvinced, Neil raised his chin. "If I do, I'll chop your head off myself even if you don't!"

Amelia didn't bother responding. She took out her phone and powered it on. She was just about to book a hotel when a message popped up on her old WhatsApp account. "Okay. When should we meet?"
