Chapter 7: The Lion's Big Mouth

"So, how much money would make you willing to leave Albert?" Mrs. Brown was in high spirits, seemingly seeing through Amelia's greedy nature.

Amelia was tempted to demand an exorbitant amount, but when she saw Albert's unhappy expression, she felt a pang in her heart.

Forget it, she should be gentler to her own man.

"Honey, don't furrow your brow like that, it hurts my heart~~" Amelia gently caressed Albert's forehead, speaking in a sugar-coated tone.

As expected, Mrs. Brown's face immediately turned sour, "What sort of behavior is this in public!"

Amelia held Albert back from saying anything. "Auntie, there's something wrong with what you just said. Albert and I are a bona fide married couple, and this is called being lovey-dovey! Auntie, you should read the news more frequently so you can keep up with the times, or else people will think you're outdated."

After saying that, she covered her little mouth, pretending to be scared and leaned on Albert. "Albert, will your mother be angry with what I just said?"

Albert wanted to laugh, but his expression was nonchalant, "No, my mom is always magnanimous. Mom, am I right?"

Mrs. Brown was shaking with anger, barely managing to get out a sentence, "What a disgrace! What a disgrace..."

All the daughters-in-law in the Brown family were young ladies of prominent families.

When she was a daughter-in-law herself, she didn't even have the right to speak in the presence of her mother-in-law.

"Albert! If you still consider me as your mother, divorce her! Divorce her immediately!" She ordered Albert with an iron-clad expression.

Amelia: She's too weak in this fight, which gives me no sense of accomplishment.

Albert lifted a leg lazily and said, "Mom, if you still consider me as your son, then you need to first accept my wife."

Amelia looked at Albert with an awestruck gaze.

He's so cool!

A handsome guy always looks good no matter what he does.

Usually, Amelia despised a man with an attitude as Albert was showing now.

But at that moment, she thought Albert was exuding an unconcerned, confident and incredibly cool aura.

"Mom~" Amelia sweetly smiled, her voice very sweet.

Mrs. Brown almost spat out blood, she would never admit that this woman is her daughter-in-law!

"Albert, you can only come home when you divorce her!"

After dropping her threat, Mrs. Brown left in a rush. As she was about to reach the door, she heard Amelia call out, "Mom, remember to settle the bill!"

Mrs. Brown stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Amelia covered her mouth, feeling a little embarrassed, "Did I anger your mother?"

"No, my mom is pretty healthy; she wouldn't get upset so easily."

"That's good. Well, I haven't had dinner yet, and I heard the food here is really good. Since we've already ordered, let's eat before we head home. This place is pretty expensive; we don't want to waste."

A complex look crossed Albert's face.

This silly girl is not worried at all.

"Amelia, aren't you worried at all?"

Amelia raised her head, somewhat dazed, "Worried about what?"

Albert sighed, gently brushing away some food at the corner of her mouth, lightly laughing, "Never mind, let's eat first, I'll tell you when we get home."

Amelia made a face in her mind.

Worried about what?

Was she supposed to worry that Albert would really break up with her because of his mother?

If Albert really listened to his mother and wanted to divorce her, she wouldn't stop him. After all, she probably couldn't get along with a mama's boy for a long time anyway.

After all, spending money in a nightclub on male escorts is a common habit, in fact, she was making a profit. Considering Albert Brown's looks, he would definitely be the headliner.

As soon as they walked through the door, Albert Brown wrapped Amelia Sanchez in his arms, resting his head on her shoulder. His voice was raspy, "Amelia, don't take my mother's words to heart, that's just how she is."

"And moreover, my relationship with her has always been poor, don't feel like you have to humble yourself on my account."

Albert Brown's low, hoarse voice blew into Amelia Sanchez's ear, causing it to itch. She nodded repeatedly, "I know, I won't..."

The truth was, Amelia Sanchez didn't quite understand what Albert Brown was saying.

Looking at Amelia's ears gradually turning red as if they were crystals, Albert Brown chuckled quietly, "Amelia, I'm still hungry."

"Where? I'll go to make you something..."

"I want to eat you..." Albert Brown pushed her against the wall.

As the night grew dark, the silhouettes of the two quickly merged.

***

The next day when Amelia Sanchez got up, Albert Brown was still asleep.

She looked at Albert Brown's handsome face, couldn't help herself but to steal a few more kisses before she happily went to work.

Last night, after returning from the restaurant, she planned to check into Albert Brown's family background, his mother appeared to be like an aristocrat after all.

But now thinking of their agreement, they promised not to look into the past, only to value the now.

Considering his apparently well-off mother remarried while Albert Brown resorted to being a male escort, if Amelia discovered something undesirable, it could harm his self-esteem, so she abandoned this idea.

When she arrived at the company, the receptionist reminded her merrily, "Boss, don't forget the auction in three days! Remember to bring your treasure!"

Amelia Sanchez slapped her head, she completely forgot.

Thinking about that plant that was slightly wilted because Albert Brown had once watered it, she felt a pang of guilt.

Sigh, it seems the reserve price has to be reduced a bit this time.

Three days later, Albert Brown was working when he received a call from his assistant.

"Boss, the auction is today."

After hanging up the phone, Albert Brown pinched the bridge of his nose, a little headache.

He had been eyeing this auction for a long time, the timing is just inconvenient, it coincided with the off work time with Amelia Sanchez.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Amelia Sanchez called him, her voice was as sweet as ever, "Husband, I have something to do tonight, I'll be back late."

Albert Brown's eyebrows smoothed out, "Working overtime? Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No need, I've taken on a small job, it will be done soon."

"Alright, I will wait for you at home, be careful on the road, call me if anything happens. Also, stay away from men!"

The sound of Amelia Sanchez's laughter came from the phone, "I know! Jealous pot!"

Albert Brown raised his eyebrows while looking at the phone that Amelia Sanchez had hung up.

This woman dared to laugh at him, wait until she is back and she will regret.

When Albert Brown got up to change clothes, he saw his upward curling lips in the mirror, he pressed down his lips with his hand and then chuckled again.

This auction was not very big, but it was prestigious.

Normally, countless precious items that are otherwise inestimable appear here. Those who are able to attend this auction have not only money but also connections.

Albert Brown didn't have any specific item he wanted to buy, he just thought of checking if there was anything good in this auction to buy as a return gift for Amelia Sanchez.

As soon as Albert Brown sat down, his friend Rich Aguirre handed him a piece of paper laughing, "Take a look, the first auction item is actually a pot of flowers! Who knows what kind of flower it is, but it's worth more than the gemstone on the 16th-century British Queen's crown!"
