Chapter 1026
Upon hearing Alice mentioned the baby, Amelia could not help feeling guilty for a moment.
Since she was hiding the fact that she was pregnant from everyone...
Fortunately, it had only been about one month since she was discovered to be pregnant, and her belly was still
not obvious.
In a few more months, it might be difficult if she still wanted to keep this as a secret.
However, the marriage between Patrick and her might will not last until that time...
‘Amelia, what do you think of my suggestion?"
Although Alice spoke unhurriedly, Amelia could not ignore the hopeful expression on her face.
After thinking for a while, Amelia said, "Alice, | don't know if you have heard of the Eastern District project."
"Yes, what's the matter?" Alice did pay attention to the activity of the Apex Construction Corporation from time
to time. So, she surely had heard about the Eastern District project.
Not only that, but Alice also knew that the Eastern District project was a rare opportunity for all of the
construction companies in Northville to get into a whole new level!
As for Apex Construction Corporation led by Amelia, she was also fighting for this project recently!
Since Alice had heard of it? Then it would be much easier for Amelia to discuss the matter with her.
Amelia then continued, "To be honest, the chief manager of the Eastern District project ctotoday. He
agreed to assign the project of the Eastern District to our Apex..."
Speaking of this, Amelia paused for a while since she thought Alice might need stto adapt to the
happiness after hearing this news.

It was not simply happy for Alice. She was so excited that she almost could not hold back her excitement.
After a long while, Alice asked in a trembling voice, "Amelia, are you telling the truth? You are not lying, right?"
Amelia assured her word by word, "It's true, | didn't tell you too much about it because | wasn't 100% sure about
it before.
Now that everything is basically settled, | think it's tto share this good news with you and dad."
"Hubby, did you hear that?" Alice quickly turned around and talked to George, who was sleeping soundly.
She held George's skinny hands that were outside the blankets and choking with sobs, "Our Amelia is really
great! She saved Apex! She saved the company that you have spent most of your life fighting hard for! George,
did you hearthat?" "Alice, calm down!"
Amelia was worried that Alice's mood would get out of control and shook George to wake him up. She hurriedly
went forward, gently held Alice's shoulders, and trying to comfort her, who was weeping.
Fortunately, Alice was not the kind of person who had to be hysterical to vent her feelings when she was getting
emotional.
After receiving Amelia's consolation, Alice slowly let go of George's hand. She turned around and said with tears
in the corner of her eyes, "Amelia... Thank you for your hard work!"
The praises and flattering from an outsider could never surpass a single word of concern from her family.
Since taking over Apex Construction, most people did not care about whether she could fly high or not, but they
would more prefer to watch when she would fall to pieces.
After a moment of confusion, Amelia soon becfirm again. Since the Apex Construction had passed the most
dangerous stage, it was tfor it to show its real strength!
Out of the corner of her eyes, she
saw that Alice was still shedding tears. Amelia immediately took out a piece of tissue from the tissue box on the
bedside table. She was e somewhat clumsily trying to wipe Alice's face, but Alice happened to raise her eyes to
look at her with tears. s
After meeting Alice's eyes, Amelia was slightly embarrassed and dumbstruck. After straightening her back, she
handed the tissue to Alice uneasily. "Please hurry wipe your tears. Or else when dad wakes up, he would think
someone was bullying you."
Alice noticed that Amelia was embarrassed. "Was this child trying to wipe my tears just now? But when | looked
at her, she becshy instead?" Alice thought to herself.
Alice smiled when she took the tissue from Amelia. She was still very charming under her tearful eyes.
Amelia vaguely understood why George was moved by Alice, although she should not.
Alice was at her middle-aged and could still maintain such a good appearance and figure. How charming would
she be when she was young?
Amelia tried to think about it, but she found that she had very little memory of Alice when she was young.
It should be said that she had never paid attention to how Alice looked like when she was young.
As when she was still a child, she had always imagined Alice as a 'temptress'. She hated Alice so much and she
would even curse Alice, so how could she appreciate Alice's beauty?
Seeing Amelia was focusing on her,
Alice felt a little embarrassed and
said, "Amelia, did | scared you for
losing control of myself? I'm sorry. | didn't expect that you could get
hands on such a big project our
the
Eastern District project..." s
The next second, Alice, who was shocked to find that she had said those discouraging words, explained even
more nervously, "No, no, no, I'm not saying that you're not capable, I'm saying..."
Amelia recovered from the shock and comforted her, "Alice, | understand. You don't have to explain."
"It's good that you understand..." Alice said as she wiped away the tears and traces of tears on her face.
After that, she said to Amelia, "I know little about how to operate a company, so | won't ask how you got this
project. I'm scared that you'll be talking to a wall and findannoying."
Facing Alice's understanding, Amelia shook her head and said, "No, as long as you want to know, | can tell you."
However, Alice did not get entangled in the Eastern District project for too long. This was also because she
trusted Amelia. "Well, let's continue the previous topic."
Amelia was stunned and asked, "The previous topic?"
Alice's gaze swept across Amelia's flat stomach. She said with a smile, "Have you forgotten what | just said? Tell
me, when are you going to have a baby with Patrick?"
Alice was in the mood of being a grandmother. Previously, she was almost going to be a grandmother, but the
unexpected miscarriage of Brittany made her hope cto an end.
So, Alice turned to put her hope on Amelia. She was waiting for Amelia to bring a new life to the Ramsay Family.
Unfortunately, Alice was disappointed once again. "Alice, I'm afraid... it's not possible for the tbeing."
Alice asked hurriedly, "Why not?"
Amelia licked her lips and said straightforward, "Because Apex just received the Eastern District project. There
must be quite a long period needed forto run the project. If | get pregnant now, it will be a hinder to both the
company and the family Don't you think so?" s
