189: Owen Moreland's Tactics (8)_2

```

Today was her birthday, yet she hadn't mentioned it to Owen Moreland. He didn't know, and she felt it didn't matter much, but how could he have forgotten about registering their marriage, something they had clearly agreed upon before coming back...

The villa's yard was filled with many evergreen trees, meticulously pruned and displaying a picture full of vitality. However, Amelia Clarke felt a sense of desolation amidst it all, presumably a reflection of her mood.

She didn't know how much time had passed when Dorothy Brown came out to call her, "Madam, the afternoon tea is ready."

Amelia collected her wistful eyes and turned around with a smile, "Alright, thank you."

As she crossed the foyer and entered the living room, Amelia's gaze was immediately drawn to a swing chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. It was pink with an intricate pattern, exuding a strong young girl's aura and was starkly out of place against the villa's minimalistic black, white, and grey decor.
