Over the next few days, Liam was busy comforting Hannah.He accompanied her for shopping and walks, hoping to stabilize her mood and make her let go of the matter.In addition to comforting her, he had to deal with questions from the Prescott and Lancaster families.When Ember came to scold Amelia, he stopped her in front of the bedroom door.He said, "Mom, it's not her fault alone. Don't blame her alone. If you say it's cheating, I also betrayed her."Ember was so angry that she was shaking all over. She scolded him, "Have you been deceived or seduced by that vixen? She has cuckolded you, and you still stand for her! You're a man and she's a woman, can it be the same?"She wasn't worthy of you in the first place, and she's always been uneasy. Why did you keep such a woman? Let me tell you, if this happened once, it'll happen again. That bitch wants to rob your property, and she's even doing things like this. You can't just let it go!"Liam smiled bitterly. "So Mom, are you angr
"You really have no manners!" Ember angrily pointed at Amelia, her fingers trembling.Amelia's face turned cold. She thought of her parents who she had never met before, her grandparents who were in the sanatorium, and her uncle and aunt who were like bloodsuckers."I have had no parents since I was a child. My uncle and aunt are all uneducated people. Naturally, the education I received cannot be compared to yours," Amelia replied.Upon hearing her words, Liam suddenly looked at her with a hint of sadness in his eyes.He then looked at Ember helplessly as he said, "Mom, I'm begging you, can you stop talking?""Liam, I'll leave my words here today. If you don't divorce this wanton woman, then don't regard me as your mother anymore!" Ember exclaimed.Liam widened his eyes and looked at the angry Ember. "Mom, aren't you afraid that I'll be scolded for abandoning my wretched wife for my own benefit?""No one knows your relationship with her." Ember never liked Amelia, but her vie
It was half a month later when Amelia saw Eric again.She didn't take the initiative to contact him, and the only time she had gone to Astra, she went to find Karl.She heard that Eric was not in the company at that time.As for whether he was really there or not, Amelia didn't care.She was not surprised to receive Eric's call. Rather, she breathed a sigh of relief.Even though she never expressed anything, his call was in fulfillment of what he had said before, in which he said he'd give her an explanation.When Amelia arrived at the agreed place, Eric was already there. When he saw her coming, he stood up and pulled out a chair for her."I've ordered a few dishes according to your preferences. You can check if there's anything else you want." Eric handed Amelia the menu, but she didn't take it."No need to add more. I believe you won't be reluctant to treat me. It's just the two of us, we can't eat too much anyway," she said."Alright," Eric replied.After the waiter lef
After pretending to be strong for a long time, Amelia collapsed completely after crying.Eric tried to get closer to her and pulled her into his arms little by little. "Lia, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let him hurt you again."Perhaps his words had an effect. Leaning in his arms, Amelia gradually stopped crying.Feeling the warmth and breath of the person leaning in his arms, Eric felt a desire in his heart. He wished he could hold her longer and take care of her longer.However, she only had that person in her heart. Even after such an incident happened, and that person had hurt her, she never considered leaving.Before meeting Amelia, Eric had actually thought that if she left that person, he would overcome all difficulties and stay by her side to take care of her, even if she couldn't give him an official status.That morning, when Eric saw that the person lying next to him was Amelia, a despicable secret joy flashed through his heart.In fact, if he had bee
Eric offered to send her home. Amelia didn't refuse, which surprised him.Eric smiled happily. "Lia, I'm happy that you're not thinking of alienating and avoiding me."Amelia only gave him a glance before looking away. Eric's smile was so sincere that it was a bit unbearable for her."It's dark, and it's not safe for me to take a taxi. Since we know each other, and you're willing to give me a ride, naturally I won't refuse," she said.Eric was happy with her explanation.Before she got out of the car, he suddenly took her arm. Feeling her stiffened body, Eric felt his heart grow heavy."Is there anything else?" Amelia asked stiffly. She tried her best to restrain herself from shaking his hand away immediately.A lonely look flashed across Eric's eyes. Then, he slowly let go of her.He said, "Lia, if I said I'm willing to take care of you for the rest of my life. Would you be willing to leave him?" It was hard for him to ask this, yet he still asked with a hint of expectatio
Liam had not been back for some days, so Amelia didn't expect that he would coincidentally come back on the day Eric sent her home.After saying goodbye to Eric and entering the living room, Amelia saw Hannah again.During the time when Liam wasn't back at Riverbay Residence, Hannah didn't show up either. Now that he was back, she had come back with him.Amelia laughed lightly as she went upstairs."Amelia, Liam and I have been waiting for you for a long time, but you didn't come back. Liam was very worried about you," Hannah said.Amelia continued to ascend the stairs without stopping. She pretended not to hear Hannah's words,"Amelia!" Liam shouted angrily. "Hannie is talking to you. Can't you hear her?"That's right. She indeed couldn't hear her! Not only that, she couldn't even hear what Liam had said!Amelia didn't want to see Hannah, and even more so she did not want to see Hannah in this house.Couldn't she have a little bit of her own temper?"Stop!" Liam quickly went
"No matter what, you have to go. Get up early tomorrow. I've asked the set, there'll be no scenes for you in the morning." After leaving these words, Liam pushed open the opposite room and entered.Looking at how natural his movements were, Amelia felt a trace of pain in her heart.Was he that impatient?In front of her, Liam had eagerly entered Hannah's room. Was he indirectly saying that he had decided to give Hannah an official status?Were they going to Prescott Manor because of this matter?Amelia suddenly panicked. She closed the door hard and entered the bathroom.The water spraying from the showerhead wet her clothes and hair, and also messed up her makeup. But Amelia simply closed her eyes, as if she didn't realize the mess. The water flowing on her face went down from her eyes and into her mouth. It had a slightly salty taste.In the opposite room, Liam was a little helpless as he leaned against the door.At first, he was very confident. But after seeing Amelia and
The next day, Amelia deliberately dressed up. She wore a new outfit and even wore a set of jewelry. Liam noticed this as she descended the stairs. The clothes she wore and the jewelry she had on were all bought for her by him when they had gone shopping that day. This realization reminded him that this was the first time Amelia was wearing these clothes and jewelry since they were purchased. "Amelia looks really beautiful today. This set of jewelry must have cost a lot. Did Eric give it to you?" Hannah asked. Upon hearing her question, Liam frowned.Hannah noticed Liam's gaze but pretended not to, instead, she continued to smile, "Last time, Liam didn't mention these accessories when asking about the gifts." Upon hearing her words, Liam relaxed. Hannah had asked that question out of curiosity. She wasn't trying to cause any misunderstandings.Amelia glanced at Hannah and sat down before Liam, saying, "These were all bought by Liam. If I remember correctly, he even bou
