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
"Since you're here, and this matter has been brought up, let's sit down and talk, just the three of us." James looked at Ember.He said, "I don't think you'll feign ignorance at times like this and miss the chance to fight for the interests of your son."Ember looked at James furiously. She wanted to retort, but in the end, the interests of her son were more important. So she simply snorted without saying anything else."I've watched you grow up. When you just learned how to walk, I would often bring you with me to work. You were with me while I attended meetings and dealt with official business. This has also helped develop your interest in business and management," James said.Liam recalled the past as well and had a reminiscent look on his face."You did put a lot of effort into developing my interests and abilities. You not only were my teacher, but you were also my guide," Liam replied.James looked comforted by his words, but Ember felt a little sad when she heard that.
After eavesdropping on the conversation, Hannah returned to her room. She felt that her heart was about to leap out of her throat.Some time ago, she heard that James had moved out, and he seemed to have gotten into an argument with Ember. But Hannah never figured out the reason.When she moved into Prescott Manor, she was wondering if she could get some information on that.She was quite lucky too. She had only moved in two days ago when James came back.She initially didn't know about it. She was simply thirsty, so she wanted to go downstairs for a drink. But then, she heard Ember and James arguing. So she stood at the stairs, listening in.Then, Liam had come over. Hannah didn't dare to stay there for too long, fearing that someone might notice her. So she went back to her room first.She didn't hear the latter half of the conversation, but the things she did hear were shocking enough that the upper-class society would be talking about them for a long time.Her heart thum
He had seen those seering eyes before. But at this moment, Liam's heart was extremely complicated."Do you really want to give birth to this child?" he asked.Hannad quickly nodded. "This is our child. The moment I knew I had a child, I was thinking that this was probably a gift from God. I can't stay with you and marry you. So this is God's compensation for my affection."I've been reading a parenting guide for expectant mothers these past two days. I have to hurry up and learn more. Otherwise, I can't take care of the child well alone. Also, I have to learn to grow up. I have to learn to live a life without you."As Hannah spoke, she sounded like she was on the verge of tears.When did that innocent girl start to grow up?She clearly was not a child anymore, given she was able to say such a thing."Have you ever thought about what you'll face after the child is born?" Liam couldn't bear to ask this, but when he thought about Amelia's vague alienation from him, he became cruel.
Hannah's hands under the quilt were clenched into fists. Her pain spread from her palm to the chest, and from the chest to the palm.She wondered if that woman was so important in Liam's heart that she and her child couldn't compare to her.Hannah forced a smile. "I know that. Liam, don't worry. I won't force you to divorce Amelia. However, if I keep living in Prescott Manor, will she be angry and blame me?"Seeing her pretending to be strong, Liam sighed. "Just stay here. There's no need to worry so much. As long as you don't take the initiative to appear in front of her, she won't care about this; she's a kind person."Hannah's heart skipped a beat as she wondered what Liam meant."Amelia will be a good wife since you favor her. It's just a pity that I don't get along with her much. Since I don't know much about her, I wonder if she is comparable to Leona?"Liam looked blank.Leona and Amelia … After Hannah said that, she carefully observed Liam's expression. Upon seein
For some reason, Amelia hadn't received an interview notice for the new script, so she was starting to get anxious.Upon seeing her dressing up in the morning, Liam knew that Amelia was planning to go out. He quickly approached her and said, "Lia, I'll go out with you."Amelia looked at him and asked, "You don't care about the company's affairs anymore?""With Gio and the other shareholders, there won't be any big problems," Liam said nonchalantly.Liam then thought of something interesting. He smiled and said, "You may not know, but my father plans to give some of his shares to Eric."He has acquired five percent of the Prescott group's shares. In addition to the shares given by my father, he'd be able to enter the board of directors and have a strong say. Astra is developing so well under his leadership; if he joins the Prescott group, he can take care of it very well."Amelia looked at Liam in a daze.She couldn't believe that Eric had acquired five percent of the Prescott
