Miracle Cutie Chapter 208: Just Let Me Lie Down

Mia was already twenty-three. When it came to sending her away to live elsewhere, Freya absolutely wouldn't go soft.

Lily thought about how this troublemaker wouldn't be bouncing around much longer, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help curving up.

She really liked the Wilson family people, but this Mia alone annoyed her to death.

While the Wilson siblings were both coaxing their little sister, Freya wasn't just spoiling her—she really went ahead and investigated their father, Gideon, and Emma.

So far, she'd found out that Gideon and Emma came from a low-income area.

They had even been classmates for a year.

But neither had ever mentioned it publicly, and Freya only learned it by digging into their pasts.

She kept investigating deeper. But compared to her findings, Nina's party arrived first.

This party for Nina had been carefully planned by the Graham family for a long time.

Not many guests were invited. The crowd was small, but the excitement was plentiful.

After Nina ate and drank her fill in the morning, Amelia dressed her up meticulously.

Nina wore the custom little pink gown William had bought, no diamond crown on her head—the crown was a bit heavy. She only had a few diamond hair clips.

A full set of jewelry adorned her neck and wrists. Even her little shoes sparkled with diamonds.

After dressing her, Amelia couldn't resist kissing her several times.

"My Nina looks so pretty."

Amelia's eyes curved, her love for Nina plain and unhidden.

"Nina, lots of guests are coming today. We have to be good, okay?"

Nina said, "Okay! Nina, good!"

Her little head peeked outside. "Nelson?"

Nina had spent another full day with Nelson at the hospital yesterday.

She hadn't seen him yet today.

Amelia told her Nelson would come to see her today.

Watching Nina already searching for Nelson, Amelia smiled, "Nelson will be here soon. Go play with Lucien first—Barry's here too.

"And lots of other little friends. So many kids today."

Amelia sent Nina off to play with the children.

She herself planned to find some quiet corner and hide out for a bit.

A few from the Graham family were greeting guests. The Wilson family hadn't arrived yet.

Amelia headed to the pool in the backyard.

There were wooden rattan chairs by the pool. Amelia planned to lounge there, enjoy the view, and scroll on her phone.

She plopped down onto a chair. Before she could even adjust the volume on her phone, voices drifted over from not far away.

"Did you see the Graham family's little girl? She's pretty cute."

"Yeah, really cute. The Graham family seems to adore her. But I haven't seen the kid's mom yet. Have you?"

"No. I heard she's some small-time celebrity. Maybe the Graham family thinks her background isn't good enough, so they're keeping her out of sight?"

"Could be."

The chatting voices sounded young.

Amelia listened calmly to their guesses about her, not reacting at all.

She lay on the rattan chair. The small table beside it had snacks and drinks.

Munching and sipping while scrolling—it didn't get more comfortable than this!

Gossip like that? She was immune.

Amelia wanted to call Megan.

Megan already knew Aaron had lied to her. They'd broken up.

Aaron had chased her abroad to win her back. But so far, it wasn't working.

Megan was a hopeless romantic—she'd give her all.

But once she called it quits, she wouldn't look twice—even if Aaron begged her.

Amelia hadn't dialed Megan yet when a WhatsApp from Benjamin popped up first.

Benjamin asked, "Where are you?"

Benjamin had seen Nina running wild everywhere but hadn't spotted Amelia.

Amelia bit the straw from a drink on the table, sipped twice, then replied, "By the pool. The view's nice here. I want to lie down a bit."

Benjamin sent, "Tired?"

Amelia replied, "Not really tired. Just don't know what to do."

The people outside were all guests invited by the Graham family.

Some important people—she'd only ever seen on the news.

Facing them, she truly didn't know how to mingle.

Better to lounge here than force small talk.

Benjamin sent, "You don't have to do anything. Just stand by my side."

Amelia replied, "Nah, too much pressure. I'd rather lie down. Just let me lie here for a while, please."

Amelia sent cute begging emojis.

After she sent them, Benjamin finally stopped urging her to come over.

Benjamin pocketed his phone and said calmly to the guests still asking about Amelia, "She's resting right now. She played with Nina all morning and got a bit tired."
