My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 271 A Face-to-face Conversation

"Amy, take the tea. You have been absent-minded for a couple of hours." Andy stared at Amy who kept looking outside of the window in a trance.

"Andy, can you tell me why Richard didn't take a blind bit of notice of me? I don't know how his father's death relates to me. I also don't know why he was irritated when seeing me. I've done nothing." She was still concerned about Richard.

"It's true that you've done nothing, but we don't know about why there's misunderstanding between you." Andy witnessed Richard's rude attitude towards Amy. Didn't Richard love Amy? Why did he treat Amy so rudely? "That's all right. I deserved it. Although he treated me terribly at that time, I didn't give him a rough ride when he was in trouble. However, now he still treats me badly. This really confuses me." Amy took a sip of tea, regaining her composure.

"Maybe you should make things clear. Shall I call him out and you have a word?" Andy suggested her.

"No, it's not necessary. There is no misunderstanding at all. I saw all these things with my own eye. I witnessed his attitude. There is no misunderstanding. The only truth is that he is always calculating me. I shouldn't have been softened. Since he is in trouble, I won't add fuel to the fire. I like battling with my rivals when they are in normal condition."

"Okay, then take some time off. After he passes this difficult period, you can take action." Andy looked at Amy who was apparently anxious. He knew she loved Richard dearly, or else she wouldn't pick another time to take revenge. After dealing with his father's funeral, Richard felt extremely tired, mentally and physically. He wanted to cry somewhere, but he had no chance.

"Amy, I know you're kind. There must be some secrets, right?" Based on his understanding towards Amy, Richard thought Amy was likely to bear some bad things in her mind so that she did such thing to him. He made up his mind to have a word with Amy.

It was not easy to ask her out. At first Amy was angry with him, but later she was indeed busy. When the couple found time to meet each other, it was one month later.

"Mr. Carter, why do you wanna see me?" Amy asked Richard before taking the seat.

"Have a seat, please. Let's talk it over calmly." Richard said calmly. They had too many things to talk about, so neither of them should be in a hurry, or they were likely to argue with each other.

"Well, you start first." Amy sat opposite Richard. She liked this teahouse very much. The teahouse was run by Cathy. Amy enjoyed the tea and cookies served here. Smelling the odor from the tea, Amy felt she became relaxed gradually.

Richard didn't start the conversation immediately. Instead, he made tea and gave it to Amy. Meanwhile, he also gave her some cookies.

"Have some tea and cookies. They are my mum's new products and have the effect of refreshing the mind." Richard told Amy.

Amy glanced the cookies. They were indeed new products and it was her first time to see them. There were decorative patterns on the red cookies.

Amy got one piece and tasted.

This was the cake of plum blossom which ingredient was fresh petals of the red plum blossoms, making it fresh and long aftertaste. Red plum blossoms don't grow in this season, so she guessed they were reserved in winter.

The cake was very delicious, so Amy took three pieces continuously. Then she drank the tea made from Japan allspice and the herb, which made her feel refreshed.

However, this made Richard's hands shiver. The rumor was proved that Amy was no longer afraid of red. Did it mean her memory had returned? Their shared memory was not always that happy, but it was sweet later. Then why did she treat the Carter family so badly?

"Amy, the tea and cookies were nice, right? I like them very much. When my mum finished baking them yesterday, I ate many as well, especially the red cookies, like my heart." Richard felt painful when he stared at the cookies.

"Your heart? I don't think it's red. It should be another color. Tell me why you wanna see me. To appreciate the tea and cookies? I don't think so." Amy put down the cup. Although she enjoyed the tea, she didn't want to waste too much time talking with him.

"Why did you aim at the Carter family? Amy, why did you aim at me?" Richard asked her directly.

Hearing the questions, Amy understood that Richard thought she was responsible for his misery. Was he stupid? If she wanted to revenge him, he must be more miserable than now.

"I can do whatever I wanna do. It's none of your business. Don't you know what you have done? You dare ask me! Richard Carter, if your purpose today is to question me, then I have to leave right now. I don't think it's meaningful to continue our conversation." Amy stared at Richard. She was very sad for Richard's distrust and the way he thought of her.

"Amy, if I did anything disappointing, you could tell me. We should be frank with each other. Why don't you trust me?" Richard was worried as well. He felt Amy's attitude was strange.

"Don't I trust you? Do you trust me? Richard Carter, don't think you're better than me. We've known each other for quite a long time. Trust is something mutual, not my own business." Amy didn't think she could continue her conversation with Richard. She rose from the chair.

"It's unnecessary for us to keep the conversation. If there is any misunderstanding, let it be there. I don't need your explanation. Adios." Amy turned around and left.

Seeing her back, a man in black entered from the outside.

"Mr. Carter, shall I follow her?" The man in black asked Richard.

"No. Perhaps there's a big misunderstanding between us. She never likes to explain. We can only survey on our own. There must be something wrong." Richard didn't allow his man to follow Amy. He still loved Amy.
