Chapter 160 Light Sweetness (2/2)

Fannie said, nodding.

Amelia became uneasy. She was sure that Sophia had talked something to Fannie, but now she wondered if she had said something to make Fannie unhappy.

”Mom, what's wrong?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly.

”Let's eat first, shall we? We can talk about it after the meal,” Nicholas interrupted with a gentle smile.

”That's right. We can finish dinner first and talk about this later,” Fannie agreed. She managed a tight-lipped smile.

After the three had had their dinner, a servant prepared some fruit for them. Amelia and Fannie sat next to each other on the sofa. Together, they ate fruit while they watched the soap opera on TV.

”Amelia, maybe now is a good time for you to know. Your parents paid us a visit. As you know, we don't know much about your family. Now, at dinner, you told us that the woman whom we know to be your mother is actually your stepmother. Now, I understand why she came up with those conditions,” Fannie said at last.

Amelia sat upright. She didn't understand what Fannie meant. Nervously, she asked, ”What conditions? Do you mean she tried to make a deal with you?”

For some reason, Amelia couldn't call Sophia her mom this time.

”If you recall, we didn't give you a red bag at your wedding, so it was expected for your mother to ask for some cash as a gift of sorts. We had to inform you of this. That's all,” Fannie said with an air of finality. Based on her explanation, Amelia guessed that she didn't care about that money.

After hearing the story, she understood.

However, she couldn't believe that Sophia had done what she had done. She couldn't imagine her going up to the Zhan mansion and asking the family for money.

”Mom, did you give her what she was asking for?” she asked, now visibly upset.
