Liam wasn't surprised at the condition proposed by Charles. However, he smiled and said, "Mr. Lancaster, it seems quite difficult to fulfill the condition you've mentioned.""How could it be difficult? You just have to say the word. Or is it that you're unwilling to do so?" Charles expressed his dissatisfaction at Liam's refusal. He continued, "Or perhaps you don't mind people knowing that your wife is the daughter of the Lancasters' nanny? In fact, I don't necessarily have to rely on the Prescotts. With Mrs. Jenson around, I believe others would still be willing to spare some sentiments to the Lancasters!" Charles said confidently.Liam's face turned colder. "Mr. Lancaster, sincerity is crucial when discussing conditions. Honestly, considering the recent behavior of the Lancasters, I doubt that you would keep this matter confidential even if I agreed to your conditions.""You have no other choice unless you divorce Ms. Jenson!" Charles' words make Hannah look at Liam with antic
"Lia, come try on this dress!" As soon as Amelia entered the hospital room, Maria waved at her and handed her a dress.Amelia smiled and looked at the dress. Then, she noticed a sewing machine in the room.The caregiver explained with a smile, "Mrs. Jenson Senior is much more agile now. She can walk some distance without the cane. She couldn't sit still and insisted on making you a dress. She kept saying that it's been years since she last made one for you.""Grandma!" Amelia was deeply moved, but she didn't express her approval. "I don't lack any clothes, so you don't need to work so hard. You haven't fully recovered yet either, don't strain yourself …""I'm fine," Maria waved her hand. "I know my body. I won't overexert myself. And I didn't rush this dress. It took quite some time!""Yes, it took almost half a month! Mrs. Jenson Senior knew you'd worry, so she only worked on it a little each day. She even instructed me not to tell you until it was done. She wanted to surprise yo
As Amelia was about to leave the nursing home, she hesitated for a moment before deciding to ask her grandfather, "Grandpa, did that woman … contact you?"Peter seemed a bit puzzled momentarily and wasn't sure who Amelia was referring to. After a moment, he realized and shook his head with a bitter smile, "No, there has been no contact with the family since she left. She might have …"Lia, you've never met her and she never raised you. You don't have to … just treat her as if she never existed."These words revealed how much Monica had hurt the elderly man as a father.Amelia quickly smiled to divert his attention. "I know. I've always treated her as if she never existed. After all, I've never seen her. It's just that everyone else has a mother, so I … Now that you said she never contacted the family, I won't think about her anymore."Peter nodded. "Stop thinking about her. I've treated her as non-existent in my heart. It's been so long. Even if she didn't want to see your grandma
On Amelia's birthday, Alex called and asked her to go out early in the morning."Here's your birthday present!" Alex pushed a box toward Amelia. Amelia was a little surprised. She said with a smile, "You're as straightforward as ever. You didn't even wish me a happy birthday." Alex waved her hand. "We don't need those empty words between us."Amelia didn't bother with pleasantries either and directly opened the box. There was a watch in it. Alex personally put it on Amelia's wrist and scrutinized it for a while. "It looks great!" she commented."Yes, you have a good eye!" Amelia responded with a smile.Alex glanced meaningfully at her. "Of course. If I hadn't noticed it, I wouldn't have given it to you!""Yeah, I'm lucky to have this watch chosen by you!" Amelia thought she was joking about the watch and laughed along.Alex didn't explain further and simply kept her gaze on Amelia's wrist.Amelia tightened her face slightly when she sensed Alex's gaze. "What are you doing?
Amelia felt touched looking at the cake. She hadn't expected Eric to remember her birthday. At that moment, she thought of Liam. Would he remember her birthday? Last year, they gave each other the cold shoulder during her birthday, and she didn't mention it to him either. He probably didn't know. But this year, Amelia felt that their relationship was different. Would Liam consider finding out about these details? There was hope in Amelia's heart, but she dared not hope too much for fear of disappointment. After the meal, Amelia suggested going home and asked Alex if she wanted to go together. Alex shook her head. "No, I have some things to take care of later. You go ahead!" Amelia didn't think much of it. She simply bid farewell to the two and left the hotel."You're a master at acting. It's a shame you're not an actress with such skills!" Eric, who had been smiling, suddenly taunted Alex after Amelia left. "Eric, I can't compare to you when it comes to acting. Why
"Eric, you can't keep secrets forever. I didn't tell Amelia about that night. They found out on their own. Amelia's a kind-hearted person and she won't talk to you about these things, but she's well aware. Don't think about plotting anything regarding that night!" Alex stopped smiling and looked at him gravely. "Even if you don't have feelings for me, I'll still stay by your side. I'll help you reclaim what's rightfully yours. However, what's not yours will never be yours. Otherwise, you might even lose the friendship you once had." Eric was somewhat unwilling, but he had to admit that Alex's words made sense. It seemed impossible to wait for Liam and Amelia to divorce.However, the thought of Amelia pained Eric's heart. Things did not go according to his plan. Eric had never thought he would truly fall for Amelia before returning to the country. "How much do they know?" Eric asked. Seeing him calmly ask this question, Alex knew he had calmed down. She said, "Don't worry;
"Thank you! Thank you!" Amelia looked at them with teary eyes. She was genuinely surprised. She hadn't expected them to come and celebrate her birthday, especially not in this manner. "Not only us!" Lily smiled at Amelia and gestured for her to look at the sofa. There, James was seated on the sofa with a smile. Next to him was Ember with a stern expression. "Dad, Mom!" Amelia widened her eyes in astonishment. She hadn't even expected Lily and the others to come, what more James and Ember."Happy birthday!" James handed her an envelope and said,"This is your birthday present." "This ..." Amelia hesitated. The gift was in an envelope, which meant it was something special. She didn't know whether to accept it or not. After all, it was the first gift she had received from the Prescott family since marrying Liam. "Since it's from Dad, go ahead and take it!" A gentle voice came from behind. But before Amelia could turn around, Liam walked over and placed a bouquet of red r
Ember's expression became somewhat unpleasant as she recalled the past. But she didn't lose her temper as she usually would and simply remained silent. Seeing her attitude, James knew that if he didn't explain himself now, he wouldn't get another chance in the future. Although Ember didn't say it out loud, she wouldn't argue with James in consideration for Amelia's birthday. This was evidence that she had truly accepted Amelia now. "When I learned about that child, he was already grown up and had started his career. But I discovered that he hated me. I couldn't ignore him. I thought if I tried to be good to him, maybe he would let go of that hatred." Ember sneered. "I think he not only hates you, but he hates me and Liam even more! James, dare you say he didn't come back with the idea of competing with Liam for the Prescott Group?"James also felt uneasy. He did not want to have his two sons competing for the company. "He had suffered a lot in the past few years. It's some
