Chapter 22

“Can we go out for a walk?” Amelia said. There was silence afterward Xavier chose to keep her quiet and that was something Amelia hated about him. His occasional casual demeanor was always unbearable. Having her wait for his reply was so annoying. It showed how less important he saw her.

“That isn't necessary, Miss Wilson,” he said. Amelia knew he was doing it on purpose just to make her angry. That was the motive of the whole formality.

“What happened to our former agreement?”

“What agreement?”

“The agreement of sticking to Ami instead of Miss Wilson”

“I never agreed to such a deal”

“I made myself clear. You could at least give me some benefits. This marriage is under a contract and I get to do whatever is stated in the contract. Why can't you do mine?” she asked hands akimbo.

“And you think you are doing a good job in keeping to my contract rules?”

“ I always try my possible best and I can vouch for that”

“Vouch for what?” Xavier asked, placing both of his hands in front of him.
