Chapter 110
Audrey quickly locked her phone screen and snapped her head up with a pale expression.
She wished she could return Matteo a smile, but she couldn’t fight back her tears.
Dipping her head down, she wiped her tears off and apologized, “I’m sorry.”
He was stunned for a second before he handed her a handkerchief. “This might come across as inappropriate, but… Are you fighting with him?”
She shook her head. “No, I’m just being unprofessional. Director White is waiting. Let’s head inside.” She didn’t want to say much about it.
As the gentleman he was, he nodded instead of forcing her to answer.
“Do I look good?” Amelia forced a smile as her glistening eyes stared at him.
“You look very beautiful; as innocent as a lost deer in the woods,” complimented Matteo from the bottom of his heart.
He opened the door for her and followed her into the private lounge from behind. Just then, a strange feeling began to stir in his chest.
Indeed, Amelia was a beauty. His type was someone who could provoke his sense of protectiveness.
However, the feelings that Amelia had given him were different from the ones when he met his savior.
But it could be because his memories of the savior were blurry. After all, it had been years since that incident happened in Itaylio.
The only thing that ensured Matteo that Amelia was his savior was Nathan’s strong sense of possessiveness over her.
The next day, Ryan and Audrey finished registering their marriage.
They had lunch together before he drove her back to the symposium.
Along the journey, Ryan was reading the prenatal checkup report that Yvonne had handed over.
His brows knitted together. “The stats are normal, but why is your belly not bulging? Is it because the twins absorb too much nutrients that it’s affecting your health?”
Julian, in the passenger seat, smiled and responded, “You do things with ease, but you don’t know a single thing about babies, Mr. Lambert. It’s because Ms. Yeomans was born skinny.
“That’s why it doesn’t show that she’s already months into her pregnancy. It was the same for my elder sister. We could only tell that she was pregnant when she was in the 24th week. Still, she could easily cover her belly with oversized clothes.”
Then, Ryan nodded, finally at ease.
When they arrived at the symposium, Ryan said, “I’m going to return to the country thi I’ll text you once I land.”
Audrey nodded. “Safe travels.”
20 minutes before the symposium commenced, Audrey carried a stack of documents to the conference room.
Professor Ilyich, who in the middle of a conversation with Matteo, beckoned her over. “Audrey, here!”
Clad in a suit, Matteo looked back at Audrey, who was dressed in a studious and demure style.
His eyes lit up as soon as he caught sight of her.
“Allow me to introduce, this is Matteo Russo.” Professor Ilyich placed his hand closely behind her back. “This is the Cascadian student I mentioned. As for the genetic problem you were asking about, she knows it better than I do. She even cleared my doubts!”
His captivating and warm eyes stared at her as he offered a handshake. “Hi, Ms. Yeomans. I’m Matteo.
She recognized him–it was the man whom she saved in Itaylio.
With a smile, she reciprocated the handshake. “Nice to meet you. I’m Audrey Yeomans.”
His eyes slightly widened as he released her hand.
Her mellifluous voice somehow sounded familiar to him.
