"Alright! That's enough. Hannie's emotions are not stable right now. Liam, take Hannie upstairs to rest and then come back down," James interrupted the two irritatedly. However, after sending Hannah upstairs, Liam didn't immediately come back down. Ember couldn't help but complain, "Why did you bother having her here? Do you think the troubles caused by the Lancaster family to ours are not enough? I've already lost one son, and you want me to lose another one?"She raised her voice as she spoke, "James, what are you up to? Are you intentionally letting that woman get involved with my son so you can gain more for that illegitimate child of yours?" James refuted sternly, "You're talking nonsense! You're acting out of line! Look at yourself now, far from the dignified woman you used to be!" "So you don't value me anymore, huh? Did you think of that when you needed my help? You want to abandon me now that the Prescott family is doing well. I'm telling you, there's no way!" "Aren
Liam wanted to lighten the mood, so he spoke teasingly. Although he was speaking on behalf of Amelia, Ember was focused on the other matter. So she merely glared at Liam and said no more. Looking at the situation, Amelia knew they were finally getting to the point. "Amelia, I won't beat around the bush with you. This incident may not significantly impact your career because the Prescott Group and Astra are supporting you, and Liam is also taking the heat. But the fact is, things happened, and you still owe us an explanation." James added gravely, "I know you may not like what I'm about to say, but it's the truth—the Prescott family is the one affected by this. As the chairman of the Prescott Group, and your father-in-law, I think I have the right to know what's going on between you and Eric!"Amelia clenched her fists. After everything, James' emphasis was on his last sentence. Amelia chuckled lightly. "Dad, I thought you were the most rational person in this family. But now
Liam's heart trembled as he looked at Amelia."I didn't mean that!" he exclaimed. He didn't feel he was innocent; he had always felt guilty toward Hannah and wanted to take care of her. He never even considered being ambiguously involved with Hannah. Amelia sneered. "Only you would know the truth. We're not blind and can see it clear as day."James wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. Meanwhile, Ember was focused on defending Liam and continued to reprimand Amelia, "So what if Liam is at fault? Men and women are inherently different. He knows he's wrong, so he's good to Hannah. If you can't understand this, what qualifies you to be my son's wife?" "So, you asked me here today because you think I'm not qualified to be Liam's wife, and you want me to give up the position to Hannah?" Amelia answered."All you need to do is let go of that position. Whoever succeeds it doesn't concern you!" Ember retorted before Liam could say anything. "What about you? Is th
Amelia was still stunned as she was urged into the car. "Is it okay for us to leave like this?" she asked anxiously. Up until now, she still hadn't figured out what was going on. Liam smiled and reassured her, "It's okay. I'm here. I'll protect you. I can't guarantee that you won't suffer because of my mom again, but I'll always be with you. We'll face our problems together." Amelia looked at him, overwhelmed with emotions."Lia, I don't know how to explain myself or make you understand, but I never thought of divorcing you. I know I have a bad temper and have hurt you, but believe me, I don't feel any better while hurting you. I always regret it afterward, but sometimes I can't control myself."The thought of you with another man, smiling at him, and defending him makes me insanely mad and jealous. I want you to belong to me, and only me alone." Liam's voice was soft and hoarse. "Lia, I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?" he asked. Amelia bit her lip. She couldn't believe an arr
They had a relatively peaceful meal due to Lily's presence. Before they left, Lily grabbed Amelia and said, "Let him leave first. Give me your number so it'll be easier to contact you in the future!" Amelia looked at Liam.He smiled. "I'll wait for you in the car." "It seems he has changed a lot now," Lily said thoughtfully. Amelia smiled. "Do you have something to tell me?" "Was it that obvious?" Lily blinked innocently. Amelia smiled. "You can just tell me. You don't have to overthink it.""Okay, I'll be straightforward. Liam was afraid that you'd hold some grudges over him, so he brought you here and asked me to talk to you." Lily looked at her thoughtfully and said, "You don't believe me, do you?"If it were before, I wouldn't believe it either. After all, he has changed so much compared to before. This is the second time, no, the first time I've seen him care so much about someone," Amelia felt her heart stir, but she remained silent and listened quietly. "I
Amelia smiled. "He does have a deceptive appearance." Amelia remembered the first time she saw Liam, she had been stunned. Looking at Lily's expression, Amelia wondered if she had been captivated by his looks at first sight and had developed feelings for him. "Heh, look at you. When you talk about him, there's still a smile on your face. That means you still have feelings for him. Even if it's resentment, you still have hope for him," Lily said.Amelia froze and quickly wiped the smile off her face. "You can't hide it now; I already know." Lily laughed. "Lia. You don't mind if I call you that?" Amelia shook her head. Lily continued, "Everything will pass at some point. Give him a chance, and give yourself a chance. Even if you don't believe in him, think about yourself. You're good enough to occupy the most important place in his heart.""I ... " Amelia felt uneasy and lacked confidence. Was she really that good?"You are too blinded to see how good you are." Lily look
When Amelia returned to the car, Liam was smoking. Upon seeing her approaching, he quickly threw the cigarette on the ground, stepped on it, and opened the passenger door for her. Amelia glanced at him, and then got into the car. Liam felt a burst of joy and quickly fastened her seatbelt for her, afraid she might change her mind and sit in the back.Amelia merely remained silent as she watched his nervous expression and recalled Lily's words. "Do you want to go for a walk, or should we go home now?" Liam asked softly, as if afraid that speaking too much or sounding too serious would scare Amelia away. Amelia shook her head and said, "I don't want to go shopping, and I don't want to return to Riverbay Residence."Liam's hand on the steering wheel tightened slightly. "Do you want to move, or do you not want to see Hannie?" Amelia looked out the window without answering. Liam felt a pang in his heart, realizing that even though she had let down some defenses, she was still
When Amelia woke up the next morning, Liam had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for her to get up. As she ate, Liam was diligently mopping the floor and wiping the table. Amelia wondered how long he could keep this up. "Are you going to the set today?" Liam asked. After finishing breakfast, Liam also completed the household chores. It seemed like he was planning to drive her to the set. Amelia asked in confusion, "Did you have breakfast?" Liam's eyes lit up. "So you've been paying attention to me. Otherwise, how would you know I haven't had breakfast!" Amelia was speechless. From the time she got up, Liam had just finished making breakfast. Besides, she was eating while Liam was doing chores. Did she need to pay constant attention to him to know he hadn't had breakfast?In the end, Liam ate breakfast while Amelia drove. "You don't need to be so nervous; I'm here to help you, and nothing will happen! I see you're doing okay; you did well in driving school.
