Chapitre 222: The Road Home

Amelia bit her lip as she looked at her phone for the umpteenth time. She had no clue what happened during the dinner, and part of her was afraid to check the news headlines, fearing that she would find out about the dissolution of her engagement from the media. 

But hours passed, and there was still no announcement from Lady Vanity. Her eyes were beginning to close; she had eaten a nutritious dinner with Isaac and Aiden and was now slowly entering a pleasant food coma. Aiden had promptly made himself scarce after dinner ended, claiming that he was going out on a bike ride. 

He invited Amelia out, but Amelia shook her head. While the anti-nausea medicine was working its magic to ensure her dinner stayed inside her, a bike ride might prove too much for the pills to combat. It couldn't even help the niggling anxiety that was threatening to overwhelm her, whenever she thought about the dinner at the Montgomery household.
