"Although her background isn't as good as mine, she's strong and independent. Those are the good qualities in her. In the past, she always scolded us for not being as good as Liam, saying that we were parasites relying on our families to support ourselves," Lucas said. He continued, "I don't have her courage, nor do I have Liam's strength. With Liam as her ex-boyfriend, I feel I'm not worthy of her." Lucas seemed a bit down; the car slowed down as well. It was clear that he was genuinely worried and upset. Amelia chuckled. "Lucas, you're so adorable!" Lucas looked at her in confusion.Amelia laughed. "If Lily looked down on you because of this, she wouldn't have said that. She's the type to make herself clear. If she despised someone, she would just avoid them directly!" Lucas was momentarily stunned. Suddenly, his face lit up. Then, he asked eagerly, "Is that true? She's not hanging out with us because of Liam, right?" Amelia said, "You have so little confidence in your
In the following days, Amelia stayed at Luxury Gardens reviewing the new scripts for upcoming auditions. However, she didn't visit the hospital again. Karen had also called again, and Amelia neither agreed nor disagreed. Instead, she answered softly, "Mrs. Lancaster, I understand your concerns. You may not know how much I envy Ms. Lancaster. Besides having many friends caring for her, she has a mother like you who thinks for her. "Now, apart from my elderly grandparents, who still need my care, I only have Liam left. Even though I know I'm not the only one he wants to take care of, I still long for his affection. If he's gone, my world may lose hope." Amelia sounded mournful as she spoke, but she herself felt nothing. In fact, she found it a bit ironic. Liam wasn't her only source of affection; he wasn't worth that!Karen also realized she was putting Amelia in a difficult position and quickly said, "As I mentioned, I will treat you as my daughter. I will cherish and care fo
"Mrs. Lancaster, I'm sorry, but cannot promise you. If you insist on helping your daughter this way, talk to Liam yourself!" In fact, it didn't matter if Amelia agreed or not. It was entirely up to Liam. He wouldn't even talk to her about it, let alone consider respecting her opinion. On the fifth night since Hannah's attempted suicide, Liam finally returned home. At that moment, Amelia was lying on the sofa with a face mask, looking at her phone. When Liam entered, his suit was wrinkled and there was some stubble on his chin. He looked very disheveled. Liam looked at Amelia in surprise. "Lia." Amelia seemed startled. She didn't expect Liam to come back at this time. She jumped up from the sofa and removed the face mask. "You're back! Have you eaten? If not, I can order takeout for you!" Liam frowned. Why wasn't she cooking for him but ordering takeout instead? But just as he was about to ask, his gaze fell on the trash can. Inside of it, there were several disposable
When Amelia came out from the kitchen, Liam had already fallen asleep on the couch.Seeing the dark circles under his eyes and the stubble on his chin, Amelia felt her eyes turning warm. She closed her eyes for a moment. Then, she hastily picked up a thin blanket on the couch and draped it over Liam.Just as Amelia was about to leave, someone grabbed her hand.Amelia turned around to see that Liam was awake. "Did I wake you?" she asked.Liam shook his head. In a low voice, he said, "I didn't take a bath, so I slept lightly.""Eat something first then. You must be starving!" Amelia didn't say much as she dragged Liam to the dining table.Perhaps because he truly felt remorseful toward Amelia, Liam didn't make a fuss at all. In fact, he was well-behaved, just like a child. He would do everything she told him to do. This came as a surprise for Amelia.Even when she helped him to the bed, Liam was still staring intently at her.Seeing him looking at her like that, Amelia recall
The next day, Liam didn't go to the hospital. Instead, he got up early in the morning and made breakfast. Then, he waited for Amelia to eat together.When Amelia came out of the bedroom, she was surprised to find him still at home. "Aren't you going to the hospital today?" she asked.Liam felt his heart aching when he realized that she didn't complain at all. He walked up to her and said, "I'm not going today. I'll be staying home with you. Why aren't you wearing socks?"Amelia lowered her head to look at her feet, hidden inside the cotton slippers. "How did you know?"Liam glared at her and sat her down. "I saw, of course. Wait here!"Soon, he came over with a pair of socks. Then, he crouched down before her.When Amelia felt the warmth of his palm touching her ankle, she was a little stunned. She also couldn't quite believe that Liam was putting on socks for her!Amelia looked at him in shock and still hadn't come to her senses when he sat down next to her. Liam felt even
When Karl saw the guesses online, he rubbed between his eyebrows in exasperation. "You once said that she's a very obedient woman. Now, I feel like she's the most rebellious celebrity I've seen!" he exclaimed.Of course, Oscar saw the intimate photo as well. A netizen had published it online, saying that they had bumped into Amelia and Liam shopping together.He felt a little bitter in his heart as he looked at the photo on his phone.His Silly Billy was getting further and further away from him.No, from the very start, he never even had a chance to confess his feelings. She had already begun distancing herself from him then."That man will deal with it," he simply said.Karl looked at Oscar curiously. "You seem to have changed your opinions of him. I remember you objecting to him in the past."Oscar smiled. "People change. Moreover, I didn't have a lot of contact with him in the past, so I didn't understand him.""So now you're contacting him more often? Aren't you worried th
"Lia, I … You … Calm down first. I can explain!" Seeing Amelia's expression shift, Liam was extremely panicked as well. He feared that Amelia would lose her trust and hope in him because of this."Madam Prescott, you didn't fancy our Hannie, but you value a woman like this? Look at your son! He's humbling himself so much in front of this woman because of something trivial like that! As his mother, how can you bear to watch this?"My Hannie would never be like this in front of your son! When they're together, my Hannie always listens to your son! But your family chose to protect a woman like that as if she's some treasure!" Charles exclaimed. Ember never liked Amelia. So when Charles insulted her like that, she disliked Amelia even more. However, she had already spoken up for Liam just now, so she couldn't take Charles' side at the moment. And even if Charles had a point, she wouldn't allow the daughter of the Lancaster family to marry into the Prescott family."This is a matter
Amelia had no idea when Charles left. Her mind was solely focused on the news that Hannah was pregnant.She went back to the bedroom. Then, supporting herself against the basin, she sobbed her heart out.Ember opened the door and came in. When she saw how sad Amelia was, she suddenly recalled James who cheated on her and swallowed the insults she was about to say."You're simply not capable enough. What's the point in getting cooped up in here and crying about it?"Amelia raised her head, looking at Ember through the mirror. She saw Ember looking at her in disdain, but surprisingly, Ember didn't make things worse for her."I'm going to the hospital to have a look. Do you want to come with me?" Ember asked.Amelia was a little shocked. She didn't expect Ember to speak to her so calmly."What about him?" Amelia asked."With such a huge incident happening, of course, he has to go and settle it. Do you think he's only capable of running away like you did? My son defended you in
