Chapter 147: I’m Very Serious
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Amelia slept soundly that night. She dreamed of a man taller than the door frame. The man said that he was her father, but when he entered, his head hit the door frame with a clang. Amelia giggled.
Elmer, who had just returned from outside, saw Amelia sleeping soundly in her dream. He did not know what she was dreaming about, but she even giggled, revealing two sweet dimples. Elmer’s lips subconsciously curled into a gentle smile. He bent down and stroked Amelia’s hair. “You’re a little fool.”
The next day, Amelia slept until nine o’clock. Old Madam Walton tiptoed in from outside the door, as if she wanted to confirm if Amelia was still asleep. However, she saw that Amelia had already washed her face and was putting on her clothes.
“Grandma, good morning!” Amelia smiled widely. Old Madam Walton’s heart seemed to be illuminated by the sun as the corners of her eyes curled up. “Darling, why are you up so early?”
Amelia: “It’s Seven who called me up!’
Outside the balcony, Seven was lying on the mosquito net and singing at the top of his lungs. The corners of Old Madam Walton’s mouth twitched. Back then, when George said that he would turn the next room into a tropical rainforest scenic room through the balcony, she didn’t agree. This parrot was too noisy. Her Mia was still growing and needed good sleep. What if the parrot howled in the middle of the night and scared Mia awake? Old Madam Walton nagged and said that George was already so old, but he still didn’t consider it thoroughly.
Amelia couldn’t help but laugh. She held Old Madam Walton’s hand and followed her wheelchair out. “Grandma, Seven won’t make a fuss when he sleeps at night.” Parrots were like humans. They couldn’t see anything at night without turning on the lights. They slept at night and were very quiet the entire night. Unless someone touched them or encountered danger, they would not make a sound.
Downstairs, George, William, and Lucas were having breakfast. Of the three of them, one was looking at a tablet to deal with company matters, one was reading the news on a newspaper, and the other was eating while pondering over a math book. They did their own things and did not disturb each other.
Old Master Walton put down the teacup with a bang and said with a straight face, “If you’re eating, focus on eating. You can’t do anything well if your attention is constantly diverted.”
Ever since Amelia returned, the Walton family had not held morning meetings for a long time. Old Master Walton was a serious and inflexible person. He usually did not speak much, but once he opened his mouth, everyone had to restrain themselves. George put down the tablet. William and Lucas put down the arithmetic book and newspaper in their hands. At this moment, there was the sound of someone coming downstairs. William thought that it was Amelia and immediately turned around, only to see Emma running down in slippers.
Emma looked around and asked, “Wheres Mia?” Emma was a little unhappy. Why didn’t she catch up again?! It was fine if she didn’t see Mia yesterday, but why didn’t she see her today?!
William sneered. “Princess, you’re up early today.”
Emma snorted and turned around to return to her room with a dark expression. She didn’t want to eat breakfast and had no appetite!
Old Master Walton frowned. “Don’t you know how to greet people when you see them? Eat first, then sleep.”
George interrupted, “Dad, don’t be so strict.”
Old Master Walton sneered. “I’m so strict with everyone!”
Emma walked over with a sullen face. She didn’t want to eat breakfast at all. She didn’t have the habit of eating breakfast!
At this moment, the elevator opened and Amelia and Old Madam Walton walked out. Emma’s eyes lit up when she saw Amelia, but she quickly pretended that nothing had happened and took a bite of the bun.
Amelia shouted crisply, “Good morning, Sister Emma. Good morning, Brother. Good morning, Eldest Uncle. Good morning, Grandpa.”
Old Master Walton nodded and said gently, “Mia…”
William and Lucas immediately looked up at Old Master Walton. Even George looked up. Wasn’t he strict with everyone?
Old Master Walton coughed lightly and looked at his watch. “Mia, it’s already nine o’clock. Get up early in the future, understand?”
Old Madam Walton controlled the wheelchair over. As she served Amelia millet porridge, she glared at Old Master Walton. “Who are you showing your sour face to this morning? Do you think you’re still the leader of the Corporation?!” Old Master Walton pursed his lips.
Amelia smiled and said, “Okay, Grandpa. In the future, Mia will wake up early, even earlier than a rooster.”
Old Master Walton: There’s no need to be so early.”
George, Lucas, and William looked at Old Master Walton.
Old Master Walton:
