Moreover, Nathan hadn’t called Amelia “sweetie” for several days.

“Nathan, you haven’t called me ‘sweetie‘ in a while now,” Amelia spoke gently. “You haven’t sent any messages either. You’re not acting like yourself…”

Nathan felt a tightness in his chest, involuntarily recalling the expression on Audrey’s face when she sat on the reef, joyfully looking at the ring on her finger under the sunlight. The sunlight outlined her tousled hair and the graceful lines of her neck. She looked relaxed and shined brightly.

Before Nathan could respond, Amelia reached out and shook his arm. “Nathan, what are you thinking

about?”

Nathan snapped out of his thoughts.

He didn’t know how to tell Amelia that the term “sweetie” was actually what Audrey used to call him

in private.

Nathan knew Amelia didn’t feel secure with him.

“You used to complain that calling you ‘sweetie‘ was treating you like a child,” Nathan smiled and reached out to ruffle Amelia’s hair.

“Don’t you know that women are always saying one thing but meaning another?” Amelia swatted away Nathan’s hand. “Only you can call me that. I feel that I’m special to you! Besides, you’ve been calling me that for so long. There must be a reason you suddenly stopped!”

Amelia was smiling, but her hand had tightened.

She was afraid that Nathan would tell her that it was because he remembered Audrey. Perhaps the term sweetie was his private nickname for Audrey, and now he didn’t want to use it on her.

Amelia also feared that Nathan would remember some things but wouldn’t tell her, planning to gradually distance himself from her.

“Sweetie, sweetie, sweetie!” Nathan grabbed Amelia’s hand, as gently as ever. “Since you like it so much, I’ll call you sweetie again in the future. Don’t call me childish again, sweetie!”

Seeing that Nathan looked unaffected, Amelia comforted herself. Even if Nathan remembered Audrey, his normal behavior in front of her meant that he still loved her the most!

Amelia visibly brightened and tentatively asked, “Did you meet Audrey when you took Joseph’s cousin to Cloudmill University? How is she doing?”

“Didn’t I tell you not to mention her in front of me?” Nathan lowered his eyes guiltily.

“Alright, alright, I won’t bring it up again!” Amelia got up to pour soup for Nathan. “I’ll accompany you to drink a bowl of soup and then I have to go. The crew is hosting a dinner for the investors tonight, and I need to attend.”

“Remember to send me the hotel location, and I’ll come pick you up,” Nathan said.

The case of Harper Hayes had gained a lot of attention online, with many demanding severe punishment for the bullies.

The defense lawyer, Edmond, repeatedly communicated with Audrey’s lawyer, hoping to get her to issue a letter of forgiveness, giving the few kids a chance to reform.

He even brought a few repentance letters written by the kids.

Upon receiving a call from Edmond, Audrey expressed that forgiveness letters couldn’t bring back her sister’s life. Her goal was clear–she wanted them to face the consequences of their actions.

After hearing that Edmond would ensure that they receive the appropriate punishment, Audrey went to replace Professor Douglas.

“If you are willing to accompany me, that would be great. Then, you and Joseph will be coming with me!” Professor Douglas was very happy and handed Audrey the materials for the exchange meeting.

“You need to memorize these, and be prepared mentally. It could be as short as one or two months, or as long as who knows when.”

“There is one more thing I must confess to you.” Audrey informed Professor Douglas about her

pregnancy.

He pondered for a moment and asked, “Will the pregnancy affect your performance?”

“At least not for now,” Audrey replied.
