Runaway Wife Chapter 22 I'm the One Who Raised You
As Amelia walked out of Riverbay Residence, she swept her gaze over the place she had lived in for three years. She had moved out a month ago and had only just returned. The villa looked the same as before. However, the excitement she used to feel for this place was gone."Madam, Mr. Prescott asked me to give you a ride," John said after stopping the car beside her.She was just about to refuse when he suddenly said, "It's pretty difficult to get a cab around here. If you want to get outside, it will be a long walk. Plus, it's dark now. It's not safe for you to be alone."Without much hesitation, she nodded and got into the car.Liam was upstairs. He felt inexplicably annoyed as he watched Amelia leave.Amelia used to wait for him every evening in the past. For the past month, he had returned to an empty and cold house instead.Even the bed lacked her faint scent. For the first time ever, Liam had trouble sleeping that night while Amelia slept soundly.Amelia went to work as u
Runaway Wife Chapter 23 Making Someone Feel Disgusted
Amelia checked the contents of her bag once she got back home. David had taken all her cash. Even the spare change she had saved for the bus fare was gone.She only had one other ATM card with her. Even though there wasn't much money in the account, it had been the money she had saved for three years.At this moment, she was glad that she hadn't carried the card Liam had given her when she left for work. Otherwise, David would've robbed her blind.Though she was a bit sore from David's beating, she didn't pay it too much attention. She had endured the same treatment three years ago and was numb to it. Even so, experiencing it all again after three years felt equally humiliating.Amelia took a day off work the next day. She started looking around for a new place to live.She had transferred a portion of the money from her card for safekeeping via mobile banking. Since David knew where she lived now, she couldn't stay there anymore. Otherwise, yesterday's incident would only repeat
Runaway Wife Chapter 21 How Are You Going to Stay Alive?
Amelia smacked Liam's hand away from her arm."If you find me so disgusting, why bother touching me? Aren't you afraid of getting your hands dirty?" she said. The pain and anger she felt made her forget to fear him. His words felt like knives cutting into her heart. Each cut hurt her deeply.In truth, Liam had regretted what he said the moment he saw that she was on the verge of tears. Even so, his pride wouldn't let him admit it.Amelia's rebuke only provoked him further."Fine! You're really something, aren't you? I'd like to see how you're going to stay alive without my protection!"Ava had a bone to pick with Amelia, after all. If Liam hadn't been around to defend her, Amelia would've lost her job at the company.Was she really this naive? Did she honestly think the outside world was better than Riverbay Residence?Liam was frustrated. He decided to get a group of friends together to play poker at the club. While they were playing, a few women came in and sat next to each of
Runaway Wife Chapter 25 Bring Your Wife Home
Liam had been acting strange lately. In fact, he wasn't the only one feeling this way. Even Gio had noticed how odd his boss was acting. Liam's moods were erratic. He would go from being in a sunny mood to a dark one in the blink of an eye. Whenever Gio reported to him, he would have to tread with caution.When Gio entered Liam's office this time, he noticed his boss sporting an odd smile."Judging by Liam's expression, he's probably waiting for someone to fall into his trap," Gio thought.Liam was in a good mood today. Not only had Amelia lost her job, she also hadn't been able to find any work with other companies. He had kindly suggested she return to Riverbay Residence with him to enjoy a life of comfort. Yet, she had refused. Without a job to keep herself afloat, Liam would like to see just how long Amelia could survive outside. At this moment, Amelia was worrying about this very issue. She had found a place she really liked and planned to rent it. However, her job search
Runaway Wife Chapter 26 The Daughter-In-Law Meets the In-Laws
When Amelia saw that Liam called her, she felt a wave of complex emotions fill her.She genuinely couldn't figure out the man's intentions. He would come to see her from time to time, sometimes angry and sometimes not. It was becoming hard for her to keep up with his unpredictable behavior. As such, she decided that it might be better to avoid him altogether.While she was browsing job listings online, someone rang her doorbell. She opened the door with confusion and was met with a familiar face. She initially thought that she was just seeing things and planned to shut the door.However, Liam was quick. He managed to slip inside before she closed the door."Is this how you usually treat your guests?" he asked.Amelia felt a little embarrassed by the question. "What brings you here?" she asked with an awkward smile."Why didn't you answer my call?" he asked.It turned out that Liam had come knocking at her door because she hadn't answered his call. He had asked her that question
Runaway Wife Chapter 27 She's Really From the Countryside
Amelia stepped out of the fitting room and looked at herself in the mirror. She was taken aback. She hadn't expected herself to look so radiant and beautiful.At Riverbay Residence, Liam had prepared many clothes for her to try on. However, she wasn't very skilled at matching outfits. She also found many of the clothes too revealing to wear. As for the makeup, she wasn't used to wearing any. She usually went about her day without makeup most of the time.Upon seeing her reflection in the mirror, she was surprised by her own allure.Liam stood beside her and raised an eyebrow as he looked at her slim figure and beautiful face."Let's go with this outfit," he said decisively. He thought he should take her out shopping more often.Upon hearing that, Amelia timidly walked over to his side while gripping her dress tightly. "Maybe I should change into something else. I … I don't like this one.""It looks great on you!""It's too revealing," she whispered, covering her chest with one h
Runaway Wife Chapter 28 Why Haven't You Contributed Anything?
A dull pain struck Amelia in the heart. She paused for a moment before heading back up the stairs."Madam, what are you doing here? Are you thirsty?" A maid who had just come out of the kitchen saw her and called out. Amelia stopped and looked downstairs to see Ember approaching with a cold smile."Since you're not asleep yet, why don't we have a little chat?" she said.Caught in the act of eavesdropping, Amelia felt flustered.As she followed Ember, Liam's gaze was fixed on her. It made her avoid eye contact with him. She didn't understand why she feared him so much, especially since she hadn't done anything wrong."Liam, it's been a while since you've visited. Why don't you spend some time with your father in the study room and play a game of chess?"This seemed like a ploy to separate Amelia from Liam so that Ember could have a private conversation with Amelia.Amelia glanced at Liam and hoped that he would stay. She had just met Ember for the first time, yet she could alread
Runaway Wife Chapter 29 Let's Have a Baby
Still lost in thought, Amelia returned to her room. Ember's attitude toward her and the words she had said kept replaying in her mind.After she decided to move out of Riverbay Residence, Amelia planned to keep her distance from Liam. However, when she made that decision, she never once considered divorcing him.Following her grandmother's teachings, she ended up becoming a conservative woman. That was why she had always stayed at the mansion and waited for Liam. Even though he messed around with other women, she had hoped that he might change his mind someday.When he brought Ava home that night, Amelia found that she couldn't bear staying in that mansion any longer. That was why she moved out. She wanted some peace and quiet."What are you thinking about?" Liam asked.Amelia didn't know when Liam had entered the room. Upon hearing his voice, she instinctively looked up at him with a bewildered expression.Liam furrowed his brows when he saw her face. He stepped closer and brush

She was a true heiress of a wealthy family."After finding out your background, I wanted my son to fulfill this regret for me since I couldn't be with the woman I loved. I hoped my son could be with her daughter."I wanted Luke and Leona to marry for this purpose as well. Family interests were not my priority. Unfortunately, they had an accident, and my wish wasn't fulfilled. Then, I found out that Leona had been to Bryxton and suspected the identity of Hannah and you.

Runaway Wife Chapter 795 Eric Left
After returning home, Eric's mood remained gloomy.Hannah opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for him. "Want some?"Eric glanced at her, took the glass, and gulped it down in one go.Hannah then quickly refilled his glass, and Eric drank everything again.Hannah chuckled lightly as she poured the wine for him. "Although drinking is bad for you, sometimes, it can be a way to drown your sorrows. But don't overdo it.""Why should I be sorrowful? What do I have to be sorrowful for?" Eric mocked himself and finished the wine in his glass. He then grabbed the bottle and poured himself another glass.As Hannah watched him, she couldn't help but say, "You indeed have nothing to be sorrowful about. You're quite fortunate compared to many ordinary people. "Take me, for example. I had to marry someone who doesn't love me just to survive. Even the parents I'd known for over 20 years were not really my parents."Eric smirked. "That was of your own doing. You insisted on marrying me

When are you going to the hospital?"Hearing this, Alex chuckled. "I thought you called to say that you regretted your words. So, you just want to remind me to go to the hospital."Eric's voice was calm and distant as he said, "Delaying it will only harm you.""Yeah, that's why I've already gone to the hospital," Alex replied.Eric paused, seemingly surprised by her swift action. "Why didn't you call me? I could've accompanied you."Alex scoffed. "Since you don't care about me or the baby in my belly, why bother going to the hospital with me? Don't worry, even if I die on the operating table during the abortion, it's my own fault."Eric frowned. "You know I didn't mean that.""Yes, I know. You just said it out of guilt. So what if I purposely said that? Why should I feel sad alone? I want to provoke you, to make you feel trou

After the banquet, Liam drove Amelia home."Thanks for helping me today," Amelia said.This was the first time they were together alone since they'd met the shy man.Liam smirked. "You don't have to thank me. I just spoke the truth and defended my own marriage."Amelia frowned. "What do you mean?""I meant exactly that!""Stop the car and explain yourself!"Liam then parked the car as instructed. Then, Amelia spoke seriously, "We've already divorced, but now you're saying that we're still married. What do you mean exactly?"Liam smiled. "Of course, it means that we're still husband and wife. What else could it be?""You!" Amelia was frustrated. "Can you speak plainly?"What exactly did Liam mean? Amelia was confused.Other people might not know, but Amelia was aware that they were divorced. Plus, Oscar knew that she was just using Liam to reject him.Liam observed Amelia getting angry and toned down, saying, "Three years ago, we did sign a divorce agreement, but it didn't
Runaway Wife Chapter 792 Proposal
Amelia didn't think Karen would act so quickly, and she found it difficult to refuse her after looking at her warm gaze."Mr. Prescott, the Lancasters have prepared a banquet to welcome Madam into the family. And they've invited many people, including some previous partners of the Lancaster Group and some members of the Prescotts. "However, we still haven't received an invitation. Do you think…" Gio was reporting to Liam about Amelia in the office.Liam snorted. "The Lancasters must have other intentions to organize the banquet. If they still want me to spare them and Leona, they shouldn't use this method to corner me. They're being so public about things and are putting so much effort into this banquet to force me to attend it."Gio looked puzzled.Liam continued, "Charles is a cunning old man. He begged me to let go of the Lancasters. But when I disagreed, he tried to approach Lia. He never thought she would refuse too. So, he's still furious about this. He's reluctant to give
Runaway Wife Chapter 791 Pushing Her Away
The Lancasters' businesses had been continuously taken away, and Leona was nowhere to be found. This frustrated Charles."As expected, people who didn't grow up in this family are so unreliable. It's such a simple matter that could've been solved had she said anything about it, but she just won't help!" Charles paced around the living room while complaining about his daughter.Meanwhile, Karen looked a little worn out as she sat on the couch. She frowned and said, "Stop pacing around. You're making me dizzy!"Charles glanced at her. "I'm just too worried. If the company doesn't get new orders, we won't be able to pay salaries, and we'll lose our employees. If that really happens, the company will go bankrupt!"Despite the urgency of the situation, he still listened to Karen and sat across from her.Hannah looked at the anxious Charles and sneered, saying, "Dad, don't you understand? Liam's just venting his anger on us. He won't trouble us again once his anger dissipates.""Of c
