Chapter 411:
A meeting meant to stretch for half an hour wrapped up in under ten minutes.
As the young team members scurried out, Amelia gave Wyatt’s arm a gentle pinch. “Look at what you’ve done p>
“I didn’t do anything,” Wyatt protested, feigning innocence.
“You didn’t need to. Your eyes were practically herding them out the door,” Amelia said.
From the meeting room, Amelia made her way to Dalia’s office, Wyatt still trailing her.
Dalia’s brows shot up in surprise when she saw them come to her office together.

Amelia then explained her hope that Dalia would take the reins of the company, and Dalia’s first instinct was to decline.
However, that changed the moment she heard Amelia was expecting. Her face softened, eyes sparkling with joy. “Truly? Amelia, you’re going to be a mother p>
In an instant, Dalia’s hesitation vanished. “Go rest and take care of yourself. Leave the company to me. If anything big comes up, I’ll swing by Hillside Villa to talk to you. No need for you to come to the office p>
Amelia felt a wave of gratitude wash over her and enveloped Dalia in a warm embrace. “Thank you, Dalia, truly,” she muttered.
“Oh, why be so formal? You really don’t need to thank me,” Dalia replied, her smile unwavering.
Gently resting a hand on Amelia’s belly, Dalia said, “The little girl I knew back then is about to become a mother p>
She then turned to look at Wyatt. “Mr. Stewart, Amelia has no family close by. Now that she is expecting, I’m counting on you to look after her with all you’ve got p>
“You have my word,” Wyatt assured her, his voice steady with resolve. “I’ll take good care of her p>
Gabby had warned Amelia that the first three months of pregnancy were delicate, urging her to rest as much as possible.
With that in mind, Amelia planned to head back to Hillside Villa to rest after leaving the Davis Group. But as the car cruised through a bustling downtown intersection, she suddenly asked Barrie to pull over.
“What is the matter?” Wyatt asked, concern flickering in his eyes.
Amelia didn’t reply, instead pointing out the window.
Wyatt followed Amelia’s gaze and spotted two figures strolling beneath the blazing sun, their hands entwined.
Noticing the clasped hands, Amelia couldn’t help but ask, “So, are they in a relationship now p>
Meanwhile, Carlee squinted up at the relentless sun, its heat practically sizzling the air around her. Turning to Sanford, she groaned, “Can we find somewhere cooler? This sun’s about to roast us alive p>
If they continued walking like this, she was sure to end up with heatstroke.
Sanford nodded without hesitation, wiping a bead of sweat from his brow. “Sounds good to me p>
“So, where to?” Carlee asked.
Just as Sanford opened his mouth to respond, a sharp car horn blared, cutting through the moment.
