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.

    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

    Amelia still felt a little distanced. Even though she knew that Liam was trying to please her, she didn't quite feel like talking to him.So early the next morning, she went to the nursing home.Before she went out, Liam had asked to go with her, but she rejected him."You have a lot going on these days, so you don't have to come with me. I won't be staying the night there either. I'm getting John to come with me and I'll come back after dinner," Amelia said.After Liam saw Amelia off, the smile on his face disappeared. Turning around, he grabbed his keys and went to the garage.As Liam had expected, Hannah became much quieter after arriving at Prescott Manor. She would still make a fuss about seeing Liam, but she would no longer do anything drastic.Just like now, despite having moved in two days ago, Hannah didn't see Liam coming over. She was a little worried and she wondered if Amelia had banned him from coming.Hannah had called Liam countless times, but he had only answe

    "If I'm impossible to reason with, why would you come back? Go back to your old lover!" Ember exclaimed.James had hit the nail on the head, and Ember was even more worked up by that."Are you trying to come back now that she doesn't want you anymore? I'm telling you, James, no way! If you want me to forgive me, disown that bastard child first!" Ember demanded.James laughed in his anger. "Just great, Ember. You think of him as a bastard child, and you refuse to acknowledge his rights, don't you? Then drive out that Lancaster woman right now! She is not your son's legal wife, so the child she gives birth to will also be a bastard!"Ember retorted, "Shut up!" She threw herself at James, trying to hit him, but he gripped her hands tightly."I was going to talk it over nicely with you, and I didn't want to strip Liam of his power in the Prescott Group. I was thinking that we should leave the children to deal with their problems, and we could just live our own lives away from the trou

    James spoke of the past without any warning.Amelia was surprised to hear the story. She didn't expect that the generation before her had such connections."I didn't know what Karen felt for me. She always hid her emotions well. She was always elegant and noble in front of everyone and never did anything inappropriate. She was a true heiress of a wealthy family."After finding out your background, I wanted my son to fulfill this regret for me since I couldn't be with the woman I loved. I hoped my son could be with her daughter."I wanted Luke and Leona to marry for this purpose as well. Family interests were not my priority. Unfortunately, they had an accident, and my wish wasn't fulfilled. Then, I found out that Leona had been to Bryxton and suspected the identity of Hannah and you. I told Liam about it but didn't reveal your identity."Liam's my son. How could I not know his thoughts? Once he found out that Leona had gone to Bryxton, he immediately went there too.

From there, she learned that their business had recovered quite a bit.Amelia sat at her desk and tapped her fingers on the table as she contemplated the reasons for this change.Was it because everyone at the banquet learned that she was Liam's wife?Or perhaps Liam had stopped targeting the Lancasters?Amelia's thoughts were in a disarray.

    After returning home, Eric's mood remained gloomy.Hannah opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for him. "Want some?"Eric glanced at her, took the glass, and gulped it down in one go.Hannah then quickly refilled his glass, and Eric drank everything again.Hannah chuckled lightly as she poured the wine for him. "Although drinking is bad for you, sometimes, it can be a way to drown your sorrows. But don't overdo it.""Why should I be sorrowful? What do I have to be sorrowful for?" Eric mocked himself and finished the wine in his glass. He then grabbed the bottle and poured himself another glass.As Hannah watched him, she couldn't help but say, "You indeed have nothing to be sorrowful about. You're quite fortunate compared to many ordinary people. "Take me, for example. I had to marry someone who doesn't love me just to survive. Even the parents I'd known for over 20 years were not really my parents."Eric smirked. "That was of your own doing. You insisted on marrying me

    Alex was resting on the bed when her phone rang.Seeing the name on the screen, she hesitated for a moment before answering."Have you made up your mind? When are you going to the hospital?"Hearing this, Alex chuckled. "I thought you called to say that you regretted your words. So, you just want to remind me to go to the hospital."Eric's voice was calm and distant as he said, "Delaying it will only harm you.""Yeah, that's why I've already gone to the hospital," Alex replied.Eric paused, seemingly surprised by her swift action. "Why didn't you call me? I could've accompanied you."Alex scoffed. "Since you don't care about me or the baby in my belly, why bother going to the hospital with me? Don't worry, even if I die on the operating table during the abortion, it's my own fault."Eric frowned. "You know I didn't mean that.""Yes, I know. You just said it out of guilt. So what if I purposely said that? Why should I feel sad alone? I want to provoke you, to make you feel trou

    After the banquet, Liam drove Amelia home."Thanks for helping me today," Amelia said.This was the first time they were together alone since they'd met the shy man.Liam smirked. "You don't have to thank me. I just spoke the truth and defended my own marriage."Amelia frowned. "What do you mean?""I meant exactly that!""Stop the car and explain yourself!"Liam then parked the car as instructed. Then, Amelia spoke seriously, "We've already divorced, but now you're saying that we're still married. What do you mean exactly?"Liam smiled. "Of course, it means that we're still husband and wife. What else could it be?""You!" Amelia was frustrated. "Can you speak plainly?"What exactly did Liam mean? Amelia was confused.Other people might not know, but Amelia was aware that they were divorced. Plus, Oscar knew that she was just using Liam to reject him.Liam observed Amelia getting angry and toned down, saying, "Three years ago, we did sign a divorce agreement, but it didn't

    Amelia didn't think Karen would act so quickly, and she found it difficult to refuse her after looking at her warm gaze."Mr. Prescott, the Lancasters have prepared a banquet to welcome Madam into the family. And they've invited many people, including some previous partners of the Lancaster Group and some members of the Prescotts. "However, we still haven't received an invitation. Do you think…" Gio was reporting to Liam about Amelia in the office.Liam snorted. "The Lancasters must have other intentions to organize the banquet. If they still want me to spare them and Leona, they shouldn't use this method to corner me. They're being so public about things and are putting so much effort into this banquet to force me to attend it."Gio looked puzzled.Liam continued, "Charles is a cunning old man. He begged me to let go of the Lancasters. But when I disagreed, he tried to approach Lia. He never thought she would refuse too. So, he's still furious about this. He's reluctant to give

    The Lancasters' businesses had been continuously taken away, and Leona was nowhere to be found. This frustrated Charles."As expected, people who didn't grow up in this family are so unreliable. It's such a simple matter that could've been solved had she said anything about it, but she just won't help!" Charles paced around the living room while complaining about his daughter.Meanwhile, Karen looked a little worn out as she sat on the couch. She frowned and said, "Stop pacing around. You're making me dizzy!"Charles glanced at her. "I'm just too worried. If the company doesn't get new orders, we won't be able to pay salaries, and we'll lose our employees. If that really happens, the company will go bankrupt!"Despite the urgency of the situation, he still listened to Karen and sat across from her.Hannah looked at the anxious Charles and sneered, saying, "Dad, don't you understand?
