Amelia burst out laughing. "So that's why!"Seeing her smiling with a radiant gleam in her eyes, Eric breathed out a sigh of relief. "You look best when you smile, so you should smile more. Negative emotions like sorrow should never belong to you."Eric's gaze was so passionate that Amelia dared not look at him.She coughed lightly and averted her gaze. The smile on her face had a trace of embarrassment as she said, "Um, would you like to go and play?" She pointed at the amusement park.Noticing her avoidance, Eric felt a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. Instead, he smiled in amusement. "Do you want to see me looking cheap when I scream in excitement?"Amelia grinned. "Yes, but I don't know if I'd have the chance."Eric smiled mysteriously. "Wait here."Soon, he came over with two tickets and handed Amelia one. "It's a full fare. You can go on whatever rides you'd like."She could also get him to go on rides.At that thought, Amelia took the ticket. Then, she went t
Looking at the hand holding hers, Amelia felt her heart skip a beat. She wanted to break free, but Eric had already stopped running and let go of her.He turned around to look at her. "Let's try this one!"He didn't seem awkward at all as he pointed at the pendulum ride ahead of them. Amelia felt a little disappointed in herself.Eric didn't think much of it, but she was the one overthinking it."Sure!" she hastily agreed, hiding the guilt she felt.Eric looked like he hadn't noticed her thoughts. And as if it were the most natural thing in the world, he dragged her over to the ride and even helped her settle in.Eric sat down next to Amelia and her hand was right beside his. He could hear the music and the voices of children playing in the amusement park. And suddenly, Eric had an urge to grip the hand next to his, just like he had done the previous two times.However, he was very sure that if he did that, it would only frighten Amelia and cause her to think too much.He c
After spending a day at the amusement park, Amelia felt that the negative emotions she experienced at the hospital had dissipated a lot. However, when she opened the door, she froze.A pair of leather shoes were placed haphazardly at the entrance. Amelia cleaned up the house every day, so there shouldn't be any shoes left outside the rack.Not to mention, the shoes belonged to Liam.Amelia entered the living room, puzzled. She had just taken a few steps when she caught a whiff of the strong smell of smoke.Amelia couldn't help but frown as she hastened her steps. As expected, she saw a familiar figure standing on the balcony. He was holding a cigarette between his fingers.As far as she remembered, Liam rarely smoked these days. At least, she had never seen him smoke since they moved to Luxury Gardens.Amelia didn't feel like talking to him. She only paused for a moment before returning to the bedroom.She sat there for a few minutes, not knowing what to do. Then, she bega
When Liam called Amelia over to have dinner, she didn't quite dare to look at him. She didn't do anything she shouldn't have done, but she still felt a little guilty. It was as if Liam had caught her red-handed.Amelia scratched her head. She didn't do anything wrong. She simply hung out with Eric for a whole day and then got him to send her home.It was nothing compared to the fact that Liam had gotten another woman pregnant.But why was she feeling guilty about it?Amelia was about to get the cutlery when Liam rapped a spoon against the back of her hand. "Go and wash your hands!" he frowned.There were no smiles on his face.He didn't hit her too hard, but Amelia still felt pain. It was as if he was punishing her!In the past, Liam wouldn't tell her to wash her hands like this!Amelia felt a little wronged at that thought, but she didn't say anything about it. Instead, she went to wash her hands and then came back.Amelia kept her head lowered as she ate, and she didn't
Early the next morning, Ember received a call informing her that Liam had gone back last night. And even until now, he hadn't arrived at the hospital. So Hannah was making a fuss again.Ember was quite surprised when she heard that.After breakfast, she asked the driver to take her to Luxury Gardens. She wanted to know what Liam was thinking right now.The Prescotts didn't have to fear the Lancasters at all, but it was a sensitive period. If they didn't deal appropriately with Hannah and the child in her belly, it would be quite a disadvantage for them.Even in the car, Ember was wondering how she should handle this matter. And to be honest, she did want the child in Hannah's belly. But she didn't quite want Hannah herself.But Hannah was the daughter of the Lancasters. So Ember couldn't use the same methods meant for ordinary women to keep the child.Still, when she was at the hospital yesterday, she had heard what Hannah said. And by the looks of it, Liam intended to abandon th
Ember didn't deny it. "You're quite aware. But nevertheless, you're still Liam's wife now. Since Liam doesn't want to get divorced at the moment, you have to decide on this matter!"Amelia frowned. She didn't like Ember forcing her like that, nor did she want to make that decision. To be honest, she didn't know what she should do either.If she wanted the child to live, she would feel something off in her heart. The gap between her and Liam would only get wider.She was also worried that Hannah would keep causing trouble with the child as an excuse.But if she didn't want the child to live, she would be killing off a human life. Moreover, it was a human life that wasn't directly related to her, so she had no right to decide if the child should live or not."Since you're asking me that question, you must have made your decision. I wonder what choice you would like me to make." After thinking about it, Amelia tossed the question back to Ember.Ember didn't mind Amelia's cunning way
Ember didn't care what Amelia thought, or how Amelia would object to that. She had simply come over just to inform Amelia about this matter.On that day itself, Hannah moved into Prescott Manor. Even a medical team had followed her. There was even a specialized doctor to take care of the child in her belly.When Liam came back, he had an apologetic look on his face. By the looks of it, he seemed to have already known about this matter."Lia, I didn't know Mom would make a decision like that on Hannie's matter. When I learned of it, she had already taken Hannie in …" he tried to explain.Amelia turned her head to look at him. Her eyes seemed capable of seeing through his thoughts. "Be honest with me. Didn't you feel relieved when your mom made that decision?" she asked.Having been exposed by Amelia, Liam felt a little embarrassed. "After all, it was because of me that Hannie … I can't give her any proper rights, and that was already considered mistreating her. I would have to ma
Amelia didn't talk too much with Karen, but she had already grasped what Karen wanted to convey.…Because Liam's hand was injured, Amelia was naturally the one in charge of cooking that day.At the dining table, Liam didn't ask Amelia to feed him anymore. Instead, he held his spoon with his left hand. Even though it was a little awkward compared to when he used his right hand, he still managed to eat.Amelia only glanced at him, not saying much about it.Liam thought for a moment. In the end, he spoke up first. "Lia, you didn't believe me before, but now that you have Mrs. Lancaster's promise, you'll stop worrying now, right?"Amelia looked up at him. "I kept telling you that I was only friends with Eric. But were you able to believe me and stop worrying when I interacted with him?"Liam pursed his lips, falling silent.They both knew the answer.If Liam wasn't worried about it, he wouldn't have stood on the balcony and smoked for so long. If he was truly reassured, he woul
