Amelia dared not recall the events that followed. Just thinking about them made her blush and her heart race.In the end, they only used one room in the presidential suite that Liam had booked. When they woke up, they found themselves entwined, sharing a bed.Seeing that she was still dressed and felt no discomfort, Amelia let out a sigh of relief."Ha!"She had just been about to head to the bathroom when she heard a soft laugh behind her, as if he was mocking her actions from earlier.Amelia shot Liam a glare before entering the bathroom.Outside, Liam's laughter grew louder.Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Amelia's face turned even redder. As she looked at her reflection in the mirror, she couldn't help but smile.Their relationship had undeniably taken a step forward this time. They were closer than when they got along well in the past.Amelia reached out to touch her own lips; Liam had kissed her last night.Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, or perhaps it was h
After breakfast, the two of them headed to the sanatorium."Lia, the environment here's quite nice. The caregivers that Liam arranged for us are very attentive too. You don't need to worry. Go back with him to celebrate Christmas." After chatting for a while, Peter urged them to go home.Liam glanced at Amelia and said with a smile, "Lia and I have been married for four years now. We haven't had much time to be with you two. Ideally, I should celebrate Christmas with you, but there are some matters at home that I must attend to. So, let Lia stay here to accompany you."Peter and Maria exchanged glances and noticed that Amelia was also smiling as well. They guessed that Liam and Amelia had already discussed this, so they didn't object.As they were getting older, they naturally wanted to spend more time with the younger ones.Liam had lunch with them before leaving. Amelia went to see him off."Stay with your grandparents first and come back after Christmas," he said while pin
Upon Liam's return, James was also very pleased. After chatting for a while, he suddenly asked, "Amelia hasn't come back, has she?"Hearing him mention Amelia, Ember's expression immediately darkened. "Why are you always so concerned about her? Don't forget, she's your son's woman."This remark was somewhat sharp. It not only upset James, but Liam also found it excessively harsh."What's wrong with you recently? You always argue with me whenever I speak, and it's always with a sarcastic tone," James questioned while furrowing his brows."What's wrong with me? I'm just speaking the truth. Amelia may be good in your eyes, but she's your son's woman. Is she worth your constant concern? You're already this old and still don't know how to avoid suspicion. It's like you have some kind of desire for your son's wife!""Mom!" Liam started to speak, but he was cut off by James, who couldn't take it anymore. He slapped Ember.Ember held her face in disbelief. Then, she pounced on Ja
In preparation to celebrate Christmas with her grandparents, Amelia had arranged with the sanatorium to use their cafeteria and had personally prepared dishes for them.As she was about to return with a water jug, she spotted a familiar figure approaching.She stood still, momentarily in disbelief, until he walked up to her. "Back to your senses yet?" he said."How did you come here?" Amelia asked. He should have been at Prescott Manor at this time."My wife is here, can't I come?" Liam spoke in a low voice.Amelia sensed a hint of playfulness in his tone."Of course, you can," she replied while blinking.Amelia had gone out to get water alone, but she returned with Liam by her side. Peter and Maria were slightly surprised, but they quickly welcomed him warmly.No one asked Liam whether his absence from his family's Christmas's celebration would cause any issues. They assumed he had already informed his family about his plans. Although Amelia was curious about how Ember h
The two of them accompanied the older people to stay up late before returning to the hotel.Arriving at the hotel lobby, Amelia looked at Liam and said, "Well, go get another room."Liam looked at her doubtfully.She didn't dare to look into his eyes. She just turned away and whispered, "I checked out from the presidential suite you booked before. I'll sleep alone. I don't need such a good room."Liam stared at her in astonishment. He said helplessly, "Do you think I can't afford that?"Amelia quickly shook her head. "That's not what I meant. I just think there's no need to be so wasteful. This is not how you should be spending your money."He booked the most luxurious room. Fortunately, the hotel was not very high-end, but it still cost several thousand for a day.She felt a little distressed when she thought about it.She worked for a month before, and her salary was almost this amount.He chuckled. "Since you think it's a waste, then I think I don't have to take another r
After getting up the next morning, Amelia looked at the red mark on her neck. She glared at Liam in shame and annoyance."How do I go out like this?!"Liam smiled and found a scarf in her box. He wrapped it around her and said, "Isn't this great?"Seeing that he didn't realize his mistake at all, Amelia snorted.When she passed the front desk after going downstairs, she told the girl at the front desk, "Please leave a room for him when you have a vacant one."The front desk followed her gesture and looked at Liam. She nodded with a smile as she replied, "Alright. However, the current reservations are all for several days in a row. If any guests change their plans and want to check out early, I'll leave a room for you."Liam, who followed her and watched her, only smiled slightly without expressing his opinions.After leaving the hotel, Amelia glared at him again. He asked in confusion, "What's the matter? How did I offend you? I didn't do anything."Amelia remained silent.
Coming out from the warehouse, Liam handed her a key.She took it in confusion. "What's this key?""For the wine cellar and warehouse."She was stunned for a moment before she quickly gave it back to him. "I don't want it."She wouldn't dare accept something so valuable.Liam didn't expect her reaction. He was stunned for a while and smiled helplessly as he said, "I didn't mean it as a gift. Your reaction makes this key seem like a hot potato.""I don't dare ask for your key to such a room with so many valuable things. If something is damaged or lost one day, I won't be able to pay for it even if I sell myself."Her words made Liam laugh."Lia, what are you thinking in your head? Do you think I dare to put such valuable things in here without taking any security measures?"Amelia was stunned for a moment. She secretly felt annoyed, thinking that she acted like she had never seen the world.Thinking about it, Liam could never be such a careless person."No matter what, I don'
In the afternoon, Amelia watched the special Christmas celebration program again with Maria. Meanwhile, Liam kept playing chess with Peter.Amelia went to see them a few times. She only knew some basic rules, but she wasn't good at it.She didn't bother them after seeing them playing attentively.She made dinner for everyone. After dinner, Maria urged them to go back to the hotel.Peter was a little reluctant, probably because he hadn't played chess in a long time. His addiction was stimulated today, and he hadn't had enough fun.Maria glared at him before she turned and smiled at Amelia. "Don't spoil him too much. He has lived his life well without playing chess. If he really wants to play, he'll find other companions here. "The weather is cold. You two should go back early and not get cold."Peter smiled coquettishly and agreed. "She's right. Go back and come back again when you have time. "You don't have to come over tomorrow. Just go about your own business. We're fin
