"Dad, if you still can't forget about Mom, why would you bring that woman home?"Oscar was aware that Benjamin never forgot about his mother. That was the only reason Oscar didn't go completely against Benjamin when he heard that Benjamin had brought that woman home.Benjamin put down the photo. Then, he sighed and looked up at Oscar. "I was the one who wronged your mother back then. I made a mistake that many men would make too. I shouldn't have given in to temptation when your mother was pregnant with you. I should've withstood the loneliness."But Oscar, the mistake was already made. Your mom wasn't the only person I wronged. She gave birth to the child all alone, and she even raised the child. Things were tough for her too."Now that your mom is gone, and you have your career too, it's quite lonely for me to be alone at home.""Are you blaming me for not coming back often to keep you company?" Oscar chuckled in a mocking tone.Benjamin had an awkward look on his face. "Osca
"What a coincidence! Since you know her already, why don't you invite her over sometime? You can get to know each other." Benjamin smiled and looked at Oscar."Look how considerate Monica is toward you! She's paid attention to you even before I brought her home. Now, she heard that you still haven't gotten a girlfriend after so many years, so she even made plans for you. You should be grateful to her!"Oscar curved his lips, looking at Monica with a half smile. "Since you know about Amelia, why wouldn't you know that she's already married? Do you want me to be a homewrecker?"Benjamin looked at Monica with a puzzled expression. "Did you remember wrongly, Monica? Oscar's a star, he can't possibly be a homewrecker. Moreover, he's never been married, so he can't marry someone who was already married once."Monica panicked a little. She didn't expect Oscar to be this ruthless.She was thinking that since Oscar liked Amelia, if she made the suggestion, Benjamin would listen to her and
Oscar glanced at Monica without saying anything more. He was amazed that she could come up with such a story. She and Amelia had already known each other's identities, but for some reason, they refused to acknowledge each other.…The filming for "Walking into Love" happened to take place in Sableton, so Amelia went over to the filming site to have a look.Coincidentally, another crew was filming nearby too. When the people from both crews had time, they would visit the other crew. When Amelia came over, she saw Ava at the filming site as well. She instantly frowned as she asked a staff member near her, "Why is Ava here?"Lucas had given specific orders for a celebrity under the Prescott Group to play the role of the female lead. As for Ava, she wasn't selected, and she wasn't even given the role of a side character. So it was no wonder that Amelia would be surprised when she saw Ava at the filming site."Oh, her? She's from the other crew. She came over to visit with the othe
"What did you say? You're marrying Hannah?"Ember wasn't the only one who was stunned when they heard the news. Even James could barely register what was happening.Even though Eric never stated it explicitly, everyone knew who he had feelings for. So now that he had suddenly announced that he would be marrying Hannah, it came as a huge surprise.Amelia and Liam didn't expect it either. They didn't think that Eric had told James to call them over so that he could announce this shocking news."Eric, were you … Did the Lancasters threaten you or something—"Before Amelia could finish speaking, Liam pinched her finger and gave her a dissatisfied look."Wifey, he's already grown up, and he's even older than us. Why would you worry that it was a decision he made on impulse?"Amelia glanced at Liam, feeling a little exasperated. Age had nothing to do with being impulsive sometimes, right?"Moreover, it's about time he gets married. It's a good thing that he's thought it through. We s
Liam felt his heart turning bitter when he saw Amelia's upset expression.He had always known that he'd done many wrong things to Amelia, so he had always carefully tried to please her. But now, he realized that his love was too humble. That was why Amelia couldn't see his feelings for her, and she didn't recognize how nice he was to her."Liam, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush like that, I don't like it!" Amelia felt a little annoyed as well. What was it that she said, anyway? She was simply telling the truth. Wasn't the incident Hannah's fault? Wasn't Eric a victim too?Or did she have to hate Eric and blame him like Liam did?"Me? Beating around the bush? Hah, fine, if you think that I'm being petty and selfish, so be it. But Amelia, think about it. If I didn't love you, would I be so petty? Would I care about the details? Would I talk like this?"If I didn't love you, would I be so shameless that I would say so many sweet words to you?
As Amelia listened to Eric's words, she had no idea what to say, but her heart was deeply uneasy.Just then, her phone rang. Amelia glanced at it, but she didn't pick up.Eric's expression shifted. Then, he smiled and said, "You still haven't told me why you left just now."Amelia forced a smile on her face. "I just suddenly remembered that I have something to do.""Then why didn't you answer his calls?"Amelia fell silent.She looked at Eric. "Do you have to prod so much?"To be honest, Amelia didn't want to tell him. But Eric had told her so many things just now, so she didn't find it proper to withhold information when he asked her about it.But even though she felt that Liam was at fault, she didn't want to complain about him in front of other people. It was especially so when Liam seemed to be mad because of the man in front of her.Eric paused for a moment. "If you refuse to say it, then I won't ask about it. Still, if you're not in a good mood, you'll only feel worse
Amelia gazed quietly at Alex with a pained look on her face.When Alex realized that she wasn't getting a reply from Amelia, the emotions on her face faded. Then, a look of disappointment appeared on her face."Amelia, I … Sorry for just now. I didn't mean to talk about you like that. I was just …"She was just too in love with that man.She was also aware that the man would marry another woman, but she just couldn't come to terms with that.She didn't expect it to come so soon. They had just discussed it not long ago, and he had no qualms about her staying by his side.She even hoped that with time, his attitude would soften, and he might give in and agree to date her.Since Amelia was not fated to be that woman, it meant that the woman he was fated to marry wouldn't be the one he loved. So why couldn't she be that woman?"I know, I know all that. Alex, I understand your feelings, but … We still have to be more sensible. I don't want you to get hurt like I did," Amelia said.
Object to it?The Lancasters wouldn't object to it, of course.The Lancasters were even pestering Eric sometime ago, especially now that he was also the eldest son of the Prescott family!"Why didn't you tell me about Eric's identity before this?" Alex gave Amelia a dissatisfied look. If she had known that early on, she would have told her parents about it. Then, her parents would have tried their best to help her.She was the only daughter of the Lambert family, and her parents pampered her. They were willing to help her oppose the Lancasters so that she could get Eric. But still, her parents had their concerns.If they had known that Eric was the eldest son of the Prescott family, her parents wouldn't have hesitated to establish her marriage with Eric.No, she had to go back right now and tell her parents about this. They might be able to come up with a plan."Amelia, I suddenly remembered that I've something to attend to, so I can't go shopping with you. Let's meet up anoth
