It was already late at night, but Amelia didn't feel sleepy at all.She leaned against the bed headboard and gazed at her phone screen. She had dialed the number countless times, but it never went through.As she watched the screen turn dark, she felt something cold on her face. When she reached up and wiped it, she saw crystal clear liquid on her hand.So she was crying?"Hah!" She chuckled. Liam was abroad now, and there were more than thousands of miles between them. No matter how worried she was or how much she thought about it, she couldn't do anything.If Liam truly cared about her, he wouldn't have been silent for two days.But why did her heart hurt so much?What exactly had happened to him that he wouldn't be able to contact her? Or was it because … he already had the woman he truly wanted next to him?Amelia felt lost, and she didn't know what to do.Just then, her phone suddenly rang. She was startled, but she was elated as well. When she looked at the screen,
Liam had just exited the bathroom when he heard someone knocking on his door.After putting on his bathrobe, Liam went to open the door. He saw Leona's smiling face right away. She said, "I came over to deliver something. I also have a message to relay."Liam smiled and stepped aside. "Oh? Come in, then.""Here. I found it in my bag when I went back to my room just now. I must have taken it by accident last night." Leona handed him a phone. With just a glance, he could tell that it was his phone.Liam took his phone and smiled. "Thanks. You also said that you had a message to relay?""Yes. I noticed that someone called you, and many times too. I was worried that it was something urgent, so I answered it for you. You don't mind, right?" Leona stuck out her tongue, looking a little mischievous."It's fine. You've already answered it anyway." As Liam spoke, he checked his call records. As expected, they were all calls from Amelia."Do you have anything else to say?" He had to
After Amelia ended the call, her mind was still in a mess.She recalled that time when Liam had come back from his business trip to Amerizon. He said that he had found out some things about Eric abroad, and he met a woman who was trying to abort Eric's child in her belly.Amelia didn't expect that Liam would bump into that woman again, and on his first day there no less. What's more, that woman's last name was Richards.Could such a coincidence exist?Eric's last name was Richards as well, and the two had that sort of relationship.Amelia wondered if Eric knew that the woman had once aborted a child for his sake.For some reason, Amelia thought of Hannah again. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She didn't know what to make of it either.She felt that Eric was such a good man, so when it came to these things, why was he so … unlucky? Or messy?As various thoughts filled her mind, she slowly fell asleep.Meanwhile, Liam was still chatting with Leona.Leona kept fidgeti
"In the four years I was here, One-Eye paid for all my expenses. He … He loved me, and he was good to me. He was also willing to spoil me. And not long before I regained my memories, I even … agreed to his marriage proposal."Leona finally sobbed."But later on, I remembered that I was Luke's fiancee. I was supposed to get married to him, so how could I be married to another man?"I … I changed my mind. I argued and fought with him. He had a bad temper, and I hurt his pride when I rejected him. He began to curse me and hit me. Look at all these scars on my body. They're all his doing!"Perhaps because she had remembered the past, Leona got so overwhelmed that she took off her clothes without any consideration for her reputation. Liam instantly saw the scars on her body.At that moment, Leona was only wearing a black lace bra on the upper half of her body. She had a great figure, and her supple skin, paired with the tempting view, exuded a seductive air.However, Liam's attentio
After Leona left, Liam went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water. As he looked at himself in the mirror, he chastised himself fiercely.What sort of nonsense was he thinking about just now?Leona was Luke's fiancee. Even if Luke had passed away, Luke was the person Leona loved. If not, why would she endure One-Eye's wrath instead of getting married to him?Also, most importantly, Liam was Amelia's husband now. He loved her too, so even if Leona truly had feelings for him, it was pointless!Now, Liam felt more remorseful toward Amelia for zoning out earlier. But unbeknownst to him, Leona was elated because of his zoning out and the quickening of his heartbeat.He had lost his composure because of what she said, which meant that he still had feelings for her! But because he already had Amelia, and he was falling for Amelia as well, he had buried his feelings for her!Now that she was back, she was confident that she could revive his love for her!In the president'
Oscar still had work to do, so he agreed to meet with Amelia another time. After asking May to take good care of Amelia, he left.Meanwhile, Gio had hurried to the hospital. He was startled when he saw Amelia lying on the bed looking weak and sickly."Madam, what happened to you? What did the doctor say? How are you feeling right now?" he asked.Amelia burst out laughing. "You're asking so many questions, which one do you want me to answer first?"When Gio heard Amelia's teasing, he was silent for a moment. "How are you feeling now, Madam?" he asked again.Gio decided he would just choose the most important question. Judging from Amelia's behavior, she didn't seem like she cared about her illness."I'm fine. It doesn't hurt that much anymore. When the IV drip is complete, it'll be about time I go home." Amelia stated.Gio let out a sigh of relief. "I'm glad that you're fine, Madam. Mr. Prescott Senior noticed that you didn't go to the company, and you didn't answer the phone w
"Why didn't you tell her just now that I'm your girlfriend?" Alex's eyes were moist as she looked at Eric with a pitiful yet stubborn gaze.Eric had an indifferent expression, and his gaze was calm. "I don't remember ever agreeing to date you. I never once said that we were lovers.""You!" When Alex heard those words, her heart ached. She staggered backward. "Eric, I'm already your woman. How can you be so heartless to me?""I've told you since the start, and this is your own choice. You've also said that you did it willingly, right?" Eric was unaffected. He even snorted. "What's the matter? Are you regretting it now?"Alex looked at him with a hurt expression. It was as if she never expected the man in front of her to treat her so cruelly.Alex smiled. Then, tears streamed down her face.She shook her head. "Regret? How can I possibly regret it?""If you're regretting it, you can still quit now. And I won't mind anything the Lamberts have done." Eric's words pierced through
"Eric!" Alex stood on her tiptoes and drew nearer to the man who was holding her. Her lips rubbed against his neck as her hand snaked in from his back."Eric, I want you to have me and only me in your eyes and heart right now. Don't think of any other woman, alright? Right now, I'm the only woman you have!"Her pleading voice, coupled with her actions, was sending one signal.Of course, Eric was aware of all that.Ever since they slept with each other after he got drunk last time, Alex moved in next to his home. After that, the two were intimate many times over. So they were quite familiar with all these things by now.However, Eric was still a little hesitant. They were in the office right now. In the past, no matter how they frolicked, they were being intimate in the hotel or at home. This was their first time being intimate in the company.Eric was also aware that Charles hadn't given up on establishing a marriage alliance with him. So Charles might be waiting to get somethi
