Alex had a foul look on her face.

When she met with Eric, the grave expression remained on her face.

Eric asked in surprise, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Alex turned to look at him with a complicated expression.

"What's the matter?" Eric didn't know what Alex was thinking, so of course, he asked about it.

Alex remained gazing at him without speaking a word.

Eric smiled and gave up on asking. From his point of view, he didn't have to worry too much about Alex. Their relationship was indeed more intimate than normal people, and he didn't mind giving her a little bit of concern.

But it was truly just a little bit.

If Alex encountered any trouble, he would help her if she asked for it. But if she didn't, then he would pretend that he wasn't aware.

Eric took out his phone, pretending to be busy with work. But the image of another woman popped up in his mind.

He wondered what she was doing right now.

Ever since Amelia left Astra, Eric lost many reasons to contact her. And because o

    By the time Amelia finished her first script, the weather was turning cooler.One afternoon, before she got off work, the manager walked in with a mysterious smile on his face."Mia, your script is completed, so you can get off work early. I'll give you a day off tomorrow, so take your time to rest. Come back to work next week," he said.Amelia was elated. "Really? Won't it have a bad influence on other people?"Amelia had been busy with the script these days, so she indeed had not rested well. She was planning to rest this weekend, so now that she could have an extra day off, of course, she was happy about it.But she thought that if she was the only one who got a holiday, the others wouldn't agree with it, especially the veterans.Amelia had been working at the company for two months now. So she had more or less understood the current situation of the scriptwriting department.She had also understood why the manager had taken her in back then.It was also because of this th

    Amelia looked at Liam suspiciously. "What are you planning this time?"Liam snorted stubbornly. "I just want him to know that you're my wife. Your position is acknowledged both legally, and by the Prescott family. I want him to stop pestering you!"Amelia fell silent.The thing Liam wanted to do the most was probably show off in front of Eric!He wanted to see Eric looking defeated, and he would use that chance to get revenge on him!Despite knowing that Liam might have such motives, Amelia didn't decline.Even though everyone knew about Eric's feelings for her, she would still feel troubled by that. So it wasn't a bad thing if he could give up on her.That night, Amelia was about to go to sleep when a pair of hands reached toward her. Then, they pulled her into a burning embrace."Quit disturbing me!" Amelia complained. But the man behind her didn't care. He coaxed softly in her ear, "I won't disturb you. I just miss you too much. Go back to sleep and don't mind me."Five m

    As the sunlight shone through the window, the man on the bed raised his hand and blocked it from his eyes. He looked at the open curtains as his expression darkened.He was about to get up when a pair of soft and clean arms wrapped around him."You said last night that you're not going to work today, right? Why don't you sleep in?"Eric recalled what happened last night as he looked at the woman intertwined with him. He began to feel a little regretful. He was also a little upset at the woman in his arms."What happened yesterday was part of your plans!" he exclaimed.The woman finally opened her eyes. She was wide awake now.She let go of Eric. As she gazed at him, she suddenly smiled."Amelia always said that you're a gentleman, but according to what I know of you, you're a far cry from a gentleman."When you were in Amerizon, your adoptive younger sister fell for you. You obeyed her wishes just so that you could return to Terracrest. You became her secret lover, and you

    Alex chuckled bitterly. Then, she looked at Eric. There was still love in her eyes.She said, "I'm not scared. Even if you don't want me, I'll keep pestering you. I can help you if you want to get away from the Lancasters and take control of the Prescotts."I don't think you'll turn away a person who's offering you help."Eric chuckled. "You seem to have figured it out."Alex didn't say another word. Instead, she also reached out and caressed Eric's face. Because of her movements, her skin was exposed to the air. Her skin was covered in marks, which was proof of Eric's mania last night.Eric's expression darkened. "If I can get her, then I really won't want you anymore."Alex had a bitter feeling in her heart. "I know."No matter how cold a man was, or how flirty he used to be, he would change after experiencing true love. He would also cut off his ties to his past for her sake.Alex knew it very well, but she simply couldn't let go of Eric. If that day truly came, she coul

    The medicine was just an excuse. The real goal was to get Liam back to his senses and remember his position.Both of them went upstairs. Amelia was still a little sullen, and Liam was also aware that he had lost his composure just now.He moved his lips and said in a small voice, "Lia, I was … Sorry, I just didn't think that I would ever see her again. I was too overwhelmed, so I …"Amelia forced a smile. "It's okay, I get it. She's your unrequited love, after all."Her smile was bitter and cold. When Liam saw it, he felt like it even had traces of mockery.He couldn't help but frown. "Lia, I've already said this before. You're my wife now, no one else will affect you. Before this, I'd always thought that she was already … gone."But now, even though she's back, I won't forget my responsibility. I won't change anything just because she reappeared."Why couldn't he get over his unrequited love?Unbeknownst to Liam, his explanation only made Amelia feel worse.So in his eyes

    Amelia glanced at the reactions of James and Ember. James still looked disappointed, whereas Ember had an odd expression on her face.Amelia had a feeling that Ember didn't seem to like this woman very much. So she put on a distancing smile as she looked at the woman. "Sorry, but Liam never told me about his childhood. The only friends I know he has are Lily, Lucas, Brandon, and the others."Oh, right, there's also Hannah, but she's not Liam's friend anymore. May I know who you are?"What Amelia meant was that Liam had never mentioned this woman, so how dare she claim that she was his friend? And she even showed off by saying that she grew up with him!Amelia wouldn't back down so easily.When Amelia mentioned Hannah just now, something became clear in her mind. She had a vague guess of the identity of the person in front of her, and she was about 50 percent sure of it.As for the meaning behind her words, Amelia wasn't sure if Leona hadn't caught it, or if she was just good

    As Amelia looked at Leona's gentle and graceful smile, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.Perhaps because Liam treated Leona differently, or maybe it was because of her sixth sense, but Amelia didn't like this woman one bit. She even had the urge to tear the smile off Leona's face."She was hell-bent on snatching my husband away from me, and she kept plotting against me. How can I not take it to heart? Perhaps I'm not merciful enough, but I seriously cannot bring myself to be that kind."Ms. Leona, if you are capable of saying something like that, you probably don't mind other people snatching your husband from you."As soon as Amelia finished speaking those words, Leona's face instantly turned pale."Lia!" Liam glanced at Amelia with a look of disapproval. Then, he said with an apologetic look, "Leo, Lia doesn't mean anything by that. She's just—""I know. Ms. Jenson simply loves you too much." Leona interrupted Liam. She had an apologetic expression on her face as

    When Eric arrived, everyone in the living room fell silent.Amelia noticed a slightly odd look on Liam's face. Meanwhile, James looked at Eric with slightly narrowed eyes. It was as if he had high hopes for this son he hadn't met in a while.On the other hand, Ember's expression was extremely foul.Amelia glanced at Eric worriedly. She had no idea why he would come over.Could it be that Eric truly was after the Prescott family background and their company too?Amelia felt a little bitter in her heart. She knew that with Eric's connection to James, this was something he had the right to receive. But was it truly the best time for that?Both Ember and Liam wouldn't acknowledge him, after all.Even with James supporting him, it wouldn't go that well either. It would only exhaust the members of the Prescott family.Sensing Amelia's gaze, Eric smiled at her.When Eric smiled, Amelia sensed someone pinching her hand.

    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.

    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?
