If I hadn't accidentally seen her giving the nutritious food I made to Oscar, I wouldn't have known how long I would have been kept in the dark.

Amelia was speechless for a while before explaining, "He underwent surgery a few years ago and hasn't fully recovered. His health condition is quite fragile, so he needs nutritious meals more than I do."

"Really? You have stomach problems while he is in poor health. So, you're a perfect match."

With no time to chat with her, I shook off her hand and left.

Later, I dedicated all my attention to work and disregarded the messages from her.

Even the gifts and meals sent to me were returned untouched.

When my friends asked me out for a drink and a chat, I agreed readily.

I could do whatever I wanted, and I was freer.

Without Amelia and Oscar, many of my troubles were alleviated.

All that remained was the joy of solitude.

​Had it not been for Debra's sudden call, I would have almost forgotten them.​

"Adrian, when will you arrive? We're all here waiting for you."

I was confused. "Why are you waiting for me?"

"Didn't you and Amelia invite us to dinner? Why are you pretending? We are waiting for you. Come here quickly."

As soon as the words came out, the other party ended the call.

Debra sent me an address and a private room number.

I pressed my lips and felt that it was time to make this matter clear.

I went there according to the address.

Upon my arrival, I realized that this was the restaurant I had mentioned before.

At that time, I told Amelia that I intended to have dinner there.

I pondered whether the food here lived up to its online acclaim for deliciousness.

However, she always claimed to be busy, so we never got the chance to visit.

I followed a waiter's guidance to the private room.

Before entering, I heard Debra's voice.

"I'm not trying to complain, but your boyfriend is quite irritating. He even puts on airs when treating us to dinner. What a poor, petty, and scheming man!"

Oscar smiled, "There's a recent saying online that the less capable a man is, the worse his temper. If Amelia suffers in the future, we must let her tell us instead of bearing it alone."

"In my opinion, you two are a perfect match. If you hadn't fallen ill and needed to go abroad for treatment, you would be the one with Amelia right now."

My mind went blank.

Did Amelia have a crush on Oscar?

It turned out that my guess was correct.
