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
Hannah noticed that Liam was not in a good mood.Even while driving, he seemed absent-minded, often not listening to what she was saying.Upon careful observation, she noticed he was occasionally looking back at the car behind them.Hannah was filled with anger and resentment when she realized Amelia was the one in the car."Liam, if you're worried about Amelia, why not have her join us in our car? Or I can switch to her car. It's unsafe for you to drive while your mind is somewhere else," she said.Liam's expression faltered. "Don't overthink it. You won't be in danger with me around," Liam replied."That's not what I mean, Liam. I just ... I feel sorry for you. You're always thinking about Amelia, and it's partly my fault. My presence was what made her upset with you. I shouldn't have gone back home with you. And I'm just an outsider at Prescott Manor. Liam, you shouldn't have brought me along." Hannah blamed herself.Liam felt uneasy as Hannah spoke.He said, "Hannie, this has nothi
Amelia paused and heard Hannah speak.She said, "Aunt Ember, please don't be angry. Amelia isn't in a good mood. She didn't come in out of respect. She didn't want her bad mood to affect you all. She went outside to adjust her emotions before coming in." "Hannie is still as sensible and understanding as before. Your parents are fortunate to have such a well-behaved daughter." This was James speaking.Amelia thought to herself about how these people seemed like a family. They might even blame her for ruining the peace if she walked in now. "Why are you standing there? Come over!" Liam said. Liam was the first to notice her. He hadn't paid much attention to what the others were saying; he was just wondering why Amelia hadn't come in yet, or if something was wrong.When he looked at the door, he saw her with a mocking smile on her face. It seemed as if she were an outsider, watching them enjoying themselves. Upon hearing Liam's words, everyone turned to look at the door. Em
"No! That's not it!" Hannah hurriedly explained and stood up. "That night, I had too much to drink, but I was conscious when Liam touched me. It's my fault; I love him. I thought I wouldn't have another chance since he was already married. I ... Boohoo! "It's my mistake. I shouldn't have been so greedy! At first, I tried to stop him, but it seemed like he was out of it. I called him several times, but it was as if he didn't hear me. Later, I let myself go. I thought I could seize that opportunity to become his. That way, even if I died, I wouldn't have any regrets! " Hannah finished speaking and burst into tears. She buried her head in her knees, unable to face everyone. James and Ember exchanged glances, seemingly surprised by this revelation.Amelia also widened her eyes in astonishment, looking at Hannah in disbelief. She knew Hannah loved Liam, but she hadn't expected her feelings for Liam to be so deep. In the midst of all this, Hannah had already lost her innocence. But
