Ryan continued, “Master said that he would bring Miss Mia back to the Walton residence tomorrow. President Walton, don’t worry. Miss Mia will definitely be fine with Master.” Even if Alex lost his life, he would not let Amelia get hurt at all.
George snorted and got into the car with an ugly expression.
Erik sat in the front passenger seat and asked blankly, “President Walton, where are we going? Back to the Walton residence?”
George frowned. Go home? Why would he go home? To be scolded?
George said, “Let’s go back to the company first. We’ll work overtime tonight.”
Erik: “…” Did this mean that he was going to stay up all night?
Alex’s black SUV passed through the city and drove into an ancient Chinese courtyard. The courtyard was in an ancient style. It had gray bricks and roofs. It was very elegant and graceful. It was worlds apart from Alex’s temperament.
Alex got out of the car, opened the door of the passenger seat, and carried
Amelia out. Then, he opened the door of the backseat and took out the plaque. Amelia lay on Alex’s shoulder and stared at the faint white shadow. The shadow hugged its head. Its bright red nails were long and its eyes were motionless. When it looked at people, it was staring straight at them. Amelia wasn’t afraid, but her master wasn’t around. She couldn’t recognize what the ghost in front of her was.
“Master!” As soon as they entered, a man in gray lowered his head and greeted them.
Alex handed him the plaque and said, “Take it to the main hall and hang it up.”
“Yes,” the gray-robed man replied and entered with the plaque. Along the way, most of the men in gray were busy. Amelia’s eyes widened as she felt as if she had transmigrated back to ancient times.
Seeing Amelia’s puzzled gaze, Alex rubbed her head and said, “Mia, this is our home. Welcome home.”
Home… Amelia looked at the courtyard in front of her. Although the courtyard was a little deserted, it gave her an indescribable feeling. Grandfather’s house was home, and this was also her home. However, there was an additional feeling here, as if she had seen it in a dream. It was just that the scene in the dream was very blurry, but when she looked at the courtyard, she felt a sense of familiarity.
Alex carried Amelia and walked straight to the ancestral hall. In the end, he stopped outside the courtyard of the ancestral hall. “Your grandparents and great-grandfather’s memorial tablets are inside. Is Mia willing to go in and offer them an incense stick and kowtow to them?” Alex was a little nervous.
What if Mia was unwilling? Unexpectedly, Amelia replied in the next second, “Okay!” Grandpa had said that her father and great-grandfather were very impressive guardians. They deserved everyone’s respect, so she should respect them too. Although she didn’t know them yet, it didn’t matter. She would get to know them in the future.
Amelia said firmly, “Mia wants to offer incense to great-grandpa and grandpa and grandma.”
Alex’s throat was a little dry, and his voice was a little hoarse. “Okay, as expected of Dad’s good daughter.” He walked steadily towards the ancestral hall. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, “Mia, you haven’t called me Dad yet.” His daughter called her great-grandfather and grandparents first, but she never called him Dad.
Amelia stared at the door frame and did not answer.
Alex lowered his head and asked curiously, “Mia?”
Amelia finally looked at him. She blinked and called out crisply, “Daddy.”
“Yes!” Alex nodded. He was so excited that he hit the door frame with a clang.
The subordinates on duty in the dark:
Amelia seemed to be prepared. At that moment, she laid her head on Alex’s shoulder and was unscathed. She looked at the door frame and then at Alex’s head. Wow, so her father would really hit the door frame! She said excitedly, “Again!’
Alex was rubbing his head. What the hell? He had actually bumped into the door frame? Although he was 1.94 meters tall and the door of the ancestral hall was indeed a little short, it didn’t make sense. He had never bumped into it before! Fortunately, Mia reacted quickly. Otherwise, his heart would ache if his daughter got hit. Just as he was sighing that he hadn’t hurt Amelia, he heard Amelia say excitedly, “Let’s do it again!’
Alex.
Amelia quickly covered her mouth. Aiyo, why did she accidentally say what was on her mind?
Alex asked, “Mia, what did you say?
Amelia quickly waved her hand. “Mia didn’t say anything. Grandpa Doorframe said it.”
The corners of Alex’s mouth curled up slightly. This smart girl..
