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.
"You're in a pretty good mood today," Oscar chatted with Amelia during the break, noticing she seemed more cheerful than usual. Amelia smiled slightly and said, "Is that so?" Oscar nodded. Then, he seemed to remember something and said softly, "There's an alumni gathering this month. Did you receive the invitation?" Amelia looked puzzled. "Alumni gathering?""Yes, I just received the invitation this morning. I'm not interested in going, so I wanted to ask if you wanted to go. If you do, we can be companions." Amelia shook her head. "I haven't received anything! If you don't want to go, then don't. You can make your own choices. I believe Karl went through the invitations." Oscar nodded and said, "You don't have to overthink it. Although you haven't received your graduation certificate, you're still a student there. They won't overlook your current achievements. I think you'll receive an invitation in the next few days." Amelia was surprised. She hadn't thought much about i
This was Amelia's first time at the Prescott Group. As she passed through the large office, she followed Liam to his office and received numerous glances along the way. She heard people talking behind her, and others were constantly sizing her up. During the short journey, Amelia straightened her back and maintained an awkward posture. Even Liam could feel her nervousness. He chuckled and approached her. "We're all family. There’s no need to be so tense." This tender remark left everyone in the office wide-eyed; they had never seen their president act this way. They thought, "So Ava had lost from the start. Ms. Jenson must be quite capable. After all that had happened, Liam still treated her so gently. Perhaps this was truly love!" For a long time after that day, the work group chat was filled with gossip about the two. However, there was also a sense of regret. They could only discuss these matters within the company. They couldn’t even utter a single word to their f
