"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
Amelia still hadn't calmed down after everyone left. "Wouldn't you like to see the gifts everyone gave you?" Liam sat beside her, watching the pile of gift boxes she had stacked up without any intention of opening them. They had a late-night celebration, and May prepared a table full of food. Amelia had a couple of drinks and perhaps because of the alcohol, Liam noticed that her eyes looked even more beautiful than usual. "You have no idea. This is the first time I've received so many gifts," Amelia said. Upon hearing this, Liam felt his heart ache. "In the future, you'll receive birthday gifts every year, and you'll get more than you would even expect." He assured. Amelia giggled. She was in a good mood. "Madam, when Mr. Karl came over today, he brought many gifts. He said they were sent by your fans. I placed them in the guest room." May informed them while bringing them some juice. Excited about her fans' gifts, Amelia's eyes lit up. "Really? I'll go take a look!" Li
Amelia didn't hear what Liam said. She looked at him weirdly before coming to a realization. Liam stood aside with a frustrated look, as if he was in a bad mood. Confused, Amelia frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Weren't you fine just now?" Liam stared at her without speaking. It made Amelia feel uneasy. Recalling the question he asked earlier, she looked at the watch in her hand. "Is there something wrong with this watch?" "Did he give this to you?" What? Who was "he"? Seeing Amelia's puzzled expression, Liam reluctantly uttered the person's name, "Eric!"At first, Amelia was stunned. She didn't expect Liam to think of Eric just because of a watch. Then, she smiled. "I see. You're jealous, aren't you?" Liam snorted without saying a word. Amelia approached him. Then, she touched and pinched his face. "Your face is so chubby. Your skin is better than mine. I'm so jealous."Liam widened his eyes, surprised by Amelia's boldness. But just as he wanted to reprimand her
"Oh, it's here!" Amelia suddenly said. Liam felt embarrassed as he came to his senses. But fortunately, Amelia didn't mind. She was entirely focused on the gift, just like how his words had diverted her attention earlier. Amelia first took the file folder James had given. However, when she wanted to open it, Liam stopped her and handed her the box Ember had given instead. "Open this first," he said. Amelia didn't ask much and quickly opened the box. "Wow, it's beautiful!" Picking up the pair of bracelets from the box, Amelia exclaimed with admiration. Her eyes were filled with joy.Looking at the pair of bracelets, Liam's expression also changed. When Ember first took out the box, he had already guessed what was inside. However, he felt uneasy without seeing what was inside with his own eyes. Amelia had already put on one bracelet. When it came to wearing the other one, she hesitated a bit. She already had a watch on her other hand, so it would be inconvenient to wear
The morning sunlight peeked through the window, piercing their eyes. Seeing that Amelia was still asleep, Liam was reluctant to get up. He wanted to spend more time with Amelia. After everything that had happened, this was the first time they slept together. Liam not only felt satisfied, but also content and happy. He wished he could be with Amelia forever. After kissing her forehead, Liam got up to draw the curtains. Unbeknownst to Liam, as he stood by the window, Amelia had already opened her eyes and was looking at him. However, Amelia was afraid of getting caught. So with just one glance, she turned away, her face instantly turning red. When Liam started dressing up, he noticed that Amelia had changed her position. Her face was also flushed.He chuckled. "There will be many more moments like this in the future. You'll have to get used to it. There's no need to be so shy!" Amelia was even more embarrassed by his words. She covered her head with the blanket, avoiding e
Amelia turned to Liam. Her heart swelled as she looked at his guilty expression. She shook her head. "It's okay. It's all in the past. As long as you treat me better from now on, that's enough." Although Amelia had been drinking last night, she was sober when she slept with Liam and decided to stay with him. Since she had made this decision, she had no regrets.Liam was a proud man, but he was willing to put aside his pride to please her. He even apologized to her. Not to mention, Amelia did indeed see his changes. Although she had resented and hated him in the past, Amelia couldn't deny that Liam had managed to touch her heart many times. In the past, he was unwilling to give up on the Lancaster family and repeatedly defended Hannah. But in the end, he broke his promise to the Lancaster family for her sake. He even hardened his heart when it came to Hannah. Upon thinking of Hannah, Amelia suddenly remembered that the Lancaster family had promised to make Hannah apologiz
Amelia didn't understand all that, but simply listening about it made her feel uncomfortable. "Isn't it hard for you?" she asked. Liam felt moved. His gaze toward Amelia softened even more. He said, "If I lose the right to speak in the Prescott Group, it's equivalent to losing the company and the opportunity to make money. "If that time comes, I'd become a poor bastard. I wouldn't be able to provide you with a luxurious life. I won't even be able to afford to let your grandparents stay in a good nursing home. "By then, would you still be willing to stay with me?" Amelia's heart skipped a beat and she looked at Liam in a daze. She had never thought about that before."You're so smart, so surely that day will never come. I've never ever thought there would be such a day," she said. Considering how proud Liam was, Amelia couldn't imagine how devastated he would be if he lost everything. "Well, then start thinking about it now." Liam looked at Amelia seriously and Amelia
