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
The next day, the two returned to the Riverbay Residence after breakfast.After getting out of the car, Amelia said angrily, "It's all your fault. I forgot to watch TV last night."Yesterday was the day when her first TV series was launched."I'll watch the replay with you later, and I'll watch the premiere with you tonight." Liam coaxed her with a smile.They opened the door and came in while chatting and laughing. Amelia was stunned for a moment when she saw the shoes at the door.As she walked in quickly, she saw Ember sitting on the sofa and looking at them with a serious face."Mom …" she called softly.Ember didn't respond. She stared at her and said, "You're really brave to take my son to make a fuss with you outside. "You just hooked up with another man in front of me, and now you're occupying my son. You don't even come back for Christmas Eve's dinner."Amelia looked at Liam. She didn't expect that he would go back with her for Christmas Eve's dinner without Ember's
"I'll go with you," Liam said as he stood up.As Amelia noticed that Ember seemed to be angry again, she quickly refused his offer. "It's okay. I'll drive out. I remember there's a fresh food supermarket nearby. I'll go there and have a look. It won't take too long."In the first three years after getting married, she never went out.Occasionally, she went out to buy vegetables with May, who didn't dare to take her to the city center. They simply went to the fresh food supermarket.The supermarket was not huge. Its main customers were the property owners in the community.However, the items sold were relatively fresh. Since there were rich people living nearby, the prices of the items were more expensive than those in big supermarkets.Guessing that the mother and son would have something to say, she spent extra time shopping. She bought several days' worth of groceries.When she went back, they were still talking, but the atmosphere was much better.This was the first time E
