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
Runaway Wife Chapter 30 A Huge Demand
Amelia's heart leaped into her throat as Liam's hand moved."What's he planning to do?" she thought.She didn't know why, but she felt a mix of anticipation and fear.Just as his hand was about to reach her chest, she grabbed onto it tightly. "Let's just … go back to sleep, okay? You have work tomorrow!"Her heart pounded furiously in her chest, and she dared not look at him. She kept her eyes closed but could still sense his lingering gaze on her.Eventually, he let out a soft chuckle. For reasons unknown, he ended up complying and laid down to sleep.Even so, Amelia couldn't relax completely. She still had a firm grip on Liam's hand. She was afraid that he might suddenly change his mind and do something inappropriate.Liam was the first to wake up the next morning. He moved a little and realized that someone was hugging his arm.He couldn't help but smile as he looked at the delicate face next to him.When Amelia was quiet, everything around him seemed so beautiful.Amelia
Runaway Wife Chapter 31 She's My Wife
"Stop!"Just as David raised his hand and was about to strike Amelia, someone called out to intervene. The voice was deep and powerful. Once David heard it, he lowered his hand casually and planted a smile on his face."Liam, you're back! Lia and I were just joking around. She's my niece, after all. How could I have the heart to hit her? I love her to bits!"Amelia scoffed at that.David shot her a stern look before trying to suck up to Liam. "It's pretty early, isn't it? You just came back from a long night, didn't you? Men like us should enjoy ourselves just like you. There are plenty of women out there to go around, am I right?"Liam couldn't help but frown when he heard that. He glanced at Amelia, who appeared utterly shocked by her uncle's words. She hadn't expected David to say such vile things, especially in her presence."Uncle David!""What? We are having our usual banter. Shut up," David scolded indifferently."Chatting with him is fine, but don't even think about ask
Runaway Wife Chapter 32 I'm Not Getting Divorced
"Liam, you can't say that. Blood is thicker than water, don't you know? If you didn't want me to be part of your family, why'd you marry our dear Lia in the first place?""Are you hoping that I'll divorce her?" Liam narrowed his eyes at David as he dealt him a threatening look. "Y-You've been married for three years already!" David exclaimed, starting to get a little scared. If Liam and Amelia were to get divorced, he would lose his only source of income."What does that matter?"After Liam said that, David's face instantly paled along with Amelia's.Amelia suddenly recalled Ava's words from last night. Who knew that Liam would suddenly bring up divorce the next day?She stared at the man next to her, feeling extremely out of sorts. They had shared a bed just last night. Liam had even suggested that they should have a baby together. She had dismissed it as a passing joke, but when she heard him casually mention getting divorced now, it sent a chill down her spine."Y-You're a w
Runaway Wife Chapter 33 I'm Liam's Uncle
Silence filled the room. Amelia looked up nervously only to be met with Liam's icy expression.He stared coldly at her. There was a glimmer of some sort of emotion in his eyes, but Amelia couldn't decipher what it was.A while later, he sneered. As Amelia stared at him with a puzzled gaze, the man barked out, "Well, fuck off, then!"Her body trembled slightly, feeling fear well up in her heart at his tone.Liam suddenly kicked over the coffee table as he watched her flee. The loud noise frightened May, who was in the kitchen.Since all the residents of Riverbay Residence were wealthy people with their own cars, there was no public transport here. Amelia had to run for a long while before finally reaching the nearest bus stop.She continued to catch her breath with her hands on her knees.She forced herself to tune out everything Liam had said and went back to her place in a daze. She fell asleep promptly after collapsing on her bed.When she woke up, it was already dark outside
Runaway Wife Chapter 34 Don’t Expect Any Money From Me
When Amelia saw the familiar figure, she couldn't help but feel puzzled. She wondered what Ava was doing here.Come to think of it, she hadn't seen Ava for a long while. There were still news articles about her online lately, but they were few and far between compared to when she used to hang around Liam all the time. Most of the news about Ava was old.Amelia's phone rang. She checked it and saw Sarah's name on the screen.Sarah was David's wife. Her aunt had never called her before this, so Amelia figured that it definitely had something to do with David.Sure enough, Sarah asked about David as soon as she answered the call."Hello, Lia. I heard that your uncle got beaten up. How serious is it? Is he in critical condition?" Sarah asked.Amelia tightened the grip on her phone. "Well, the doctor has already examined him. He took a heavy blow to the head, but his X-ray showed no signs of additional trauma. He's sustained some superficial injuries, and his foot's in a cast. He shou

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

Alex was resting on the bed when her phone rang.Seeing the name on the screen, she hesitated for a moment before answering."Have you made up your mind? 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
