Keira nodded. "Okay."

After she got out of bed and opened the bedroom door, she saw Amy pacing back and forth outside. The nanny asked, "Miss Amy, shall we go out and play? Your mom is sleeping, and Mr. Horton said not to disturb her."

Amy, with her hands behind her back, looked obedient. She spoke in a sweet voice, "Shh, be quiet, don't wake Mummy."

Keira's heart melted at the sight.

She immediately squatted down to pick Amy up.

Feeling the embrace, Amy immediately stretched out her little hands and wrapped them around Keira's neck. "Mummy, you're awake! I missed you so much!"

Keira couldn't help but laugh. "Didn't we see each other last night?"

When she returned to the Olsen family last night, she found out the nanny and Amy hadn't gone to bed. The nanny said, "Miss Amy insisted on waiting for you to come home before she would go to bed."

Keira kissed Amy, who then grabbed her hand and asked, "Mummy, you won't abandon Amy, will you?"

Keira's heart ached when she heard that.

Looking at the frail Amy, she wanted to tell the little girl that her mother was already gone.

But she dared not say it, nor could she.

Holding Amy tightly, she said firmly, "No, I'll never leave you."

This morning, Amy was at the door again…

The nanny then said, "Madam, I don't know what's going on with Miss Amy, but she's been extra clingy these past few days. As soon as she woke up this morning, she wanted to find you. I told her you were sleeping, and she has been waiting here for you for three hours."

Children who slept early woke up early.

Amy woke up at seven in the morning and had been staying there since breakfast.

Keira asked, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know," the nanny said in a low voice as she approached. "Miss Amy was calling for her mother in her sleep last night. Has something happened recently? She seems to feel very insecure."

Is something going to happen?

There was only one thing. Fox said he would snatch Amy away. It seemed that children were indeed very sensitive. Amy's instinct had already made her sense the danger, which was why she was clinging to Keira.

Keira patted Amy's back to comfort her. "Amy, don't worry. As long as Mummy is here, no one can take you away."

Only then did Amy relax and nod.

Keira turned to the bathroom. "I'm going to freshen up, Amy. Can you play with the nanny for a while?"

"Okay."

Keira entered the bathroom, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and was just about to grab a towel from the side to dry her face when a little hand passed her a towel.

Keira was startled and looked down to see Amy, who had been beside her the whole time.

The little one was holding a towel, which wasn't too big for Keira but very large in Amy's hands. Amy looked up adorably, with big, round eyes that had a pitiful look.

Keira felt as if her chest was heavily struck.

She took the towel, wiped her face, and then crouched down to pick up Amy. "Why didn't you go play?"

"I wanted to stay with Mommy," Amy said in a delicate voice. "Is that okay?"

Keira paused for a moment and replied, "That's fine."

Lewis said, "Today, we're going to attend Scott's engagement dinner."

Amy immediately looked up at Keira with wide eyes.

Keira didn't know what to say.

Facing such lovely eyes, who would dare to say no?

She sighed and nodded. "Okay, I'll take you with me."

Amy immediately cheered up.

As they were getting ready to go downstairs and have lunch, a voice came from the doorway. "How can you still have the appetite?!"

Keira turned her head and saw Erin enter the door. She said anxiously, "Tonight, my brother is getting engaged to Vera. How can you still be so calm? I heard from Grandpa. that I don't know what you're up to, but whoever my brother marries, our family will support them. The one who isn't supported seems to be in danger. With things like this, how can you still have an appetite?"

Erin spoke in a crisp voice, which was particularly pleasant to the ear, and she was lively and restless.

Keira asked, "How come you're here?"

Erin sighed. "I couldn't stand watching my brother doing nothing, so I came here. I'm hoping you can think of a way to save him. My family doesn't usually arrange marriages, so why is it that when it comes to my brother, he has to enter into one? The key is that he, the good-for-nothing, actually agreed to it! Just yesterday, he was still arguing with Grandpa, but today, he acts as if he is accepting his fate, even telling me that marrying a woman he doesn't love might lead to greater happiness. I think he's lost his mind, and he's been brainwashed by my grandpa!"

Erin said all this in a huff and then turned to look at Amy, pinching her cheek. "Little Amy, did you miss me?"

Her demeanor showed no sign of awkwardness.

Amy shrank back to avoid her hand and said in a babyish voice, "I missed you, Auntie Erin."

This made Erin blush, and then she asked, "Why are you calling me that?"

"Uncle Charles told me to call you that."

Amy immediately betrayed Charles.

Keira then looked around and said, "Charles doesn't seem to be at home."

"I know. I have an appointment with him at twelve o'clock," Erin said.

Erin sat on the couch, looked at Keira, and said, "My grandpa has some issues with his views on love, but that's the old generation's way of thinking. Back then, they adhered strictly to parental arrangements and matchmakers' introductions. Things have changed now... His first love dumped him, and now he preaches that the one you can't have is always the best, and he's brainwashing my brother... Hmm, I really can't stand seeing Grandpa like that!"

Keira asked curiously, "Your grandpa's first love?"

At the mention of this, Erin's eyes lit up. "Don't be fooled by how formidable my grandpa seems. Although he was the previous king... bah, I mean, just pretend you didn't hear that. Actually, my grandpa has always held onto someone in his heart, and that's his first love! I heard that his first love didn't fancy him and ran off when she was pregnant. Afterward, she would just send him a picture every now and then. While my grandma was still alive, she kept a tight leash, and my grandpa didn't dare to say anything. Now that my grandma has been gone for half a year, he's started to look for his first love again. I figured he must still have his reasons!"

After that, Erin whispered, "He sneaks into the study every day to look at a picture with two women on it; one is his first love, and the other is their daughter. He thinks no one knows about it. One day, I sneaked in and saw the picture..."

As she said this, Erin suddenly turned to size up Keira. "You know, that girl in the picture kinda looks like you."
