It was not unpleasant. I suddenly asked, "Do you enjoy floral fragrance?"

Amelia narrowed her bright eyes. "So-so."

Really? But why did I always smell this scent on you?

I didn't speak anymore.

When we arrived at the agreed hotel, Oscar and Debra Wilson had been there for a while.

He was obviously surprised to see us coming together.

"Amelia, Adrian, you're here. We've been waiting for you for a long time."

I smiled at Debra. "I'm sorry. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare a gift for you."

She was a childhood friend of Amelia and Oscar. Amelia would bring me along whenever she had a party with them, and we gradually became familiar with each other.

"I gave her a gift. You don't need to apologize."

Amelia pulled me to the table.

I wasn't sure if Oscar and Debra had done it intentionally, but the remaining two seats were directly opposite each other.

I released Amelia's hand and went to sit across from her.

Despite her displeasure, she said nothing and took the empty seat next to Oscar.

I was well aware of what her friends were thinking.

From the start, they were not optimistic about Amelia's relationship with me, believing I wasn't worthy of her, and their attitude toward me was lukewarm.
