Amelia was already asking about it, so Liam didn't intend to hide it from her either. If he didn't explain these things to her, it would only cause more misunderstandings as time went by. And the misunderstandings would only get worse too.Liam explained, "I admit that when I decided to marry you back then, the main reason was that you looked like her. But Lia, after so long, you should be able to sense that I'm serious about you, right?"Liam was a little nervous, and he was panicking in his heart. He feared that Amelia would deny his feelings for her because of this reason alone.Fortunately, after looking at him for a while, Amelia nodded. "I know. That's why I never asked you about it before."But whenever she thought that she was initially just a replacement in Liam's eyes, she felt a little odd in her heart.She said, "I'm also a little curious. Since you thought of me as her replacement, why did you … refuse to touch me back then?" Amelia paused for a moment, her face tur
The next day, after Amelia arrived at the company with Liam, she didn't go upstairs with him. Instead, she sat in the driver's seat.Liam felt a little exasperated to see that Amelia seriously didn't want to go with him. He said, "Give me a minute. I'll be done very soon. After that, I'll go with you to visit Grandpa and Grandma."Amelia waved her hand. "It's fine, I can get there on my own. You didn't go to work yesterday, so you must have lots of work piled up for you today."I'm just going to have lunch with them, and then I'll pick you up in the afternoon. We can go home together."When Amelia saw how reluctant Liam was, she felt a little amused. But she was slightly moved as well.Ever since he'd confessed to her yesterday, he was even more passionate in his displays of love toward her.…After arriving at the nursing home, Amelia brought out the clothes she'd bought for her grandparents. Then, she let them try the clothes on in case they didn't fit."We both have enough c
"What did you say? That woman's coming back?"When Christopher saw the elated surprise on David's face, he knew then that Amelia was worried for a reason.He sneered. "Dad, I only said that she's not living well these days, and she might come back to see us. Why are you so happy about it?""She's your mother. If she can come back and live with us, how can I not be happy about it?" David replied without another thought. He was already thinking of ways to get Sarah to ask for some money from Amelia when she came back."Your leg healed when you got hospitalized, but did it do something to your brain as well?" Christopher was exasperated at David's words.They had lived together for so many years, so Christopher could understand David's thoughts relatively well. Seeing that David still refused to change his ways, Christopher got mad.He said, "Back when you needed her the most, she grabbed the money and ran away. But now, when you hear that she might be coming back, how can you be so
Leona's birthday was two weeks before New Year's Eve.Leona personally delivered the invitation. However, on the day she delivered the invitation, Amelia didn't go to the Prescott Group. Instead, she went to Prime Studios to submit her script."Ms. Jenson, my birthday is in two days. I hope you can come and attend my birthday banquet." Leona smiled and handed Amelia an invitation. "If you have friends, you can invite them along as well. You can bring an extra friend with you."Amelia glanced at Leona as she took the invitation. "I'll be sure to attend it.""Liamo is quite nice to you. Even though Lucas is in charge of this company, Liamo's the biggest shareholder. He'd put in quite a lot of effort when he arranged for you to leave the entertainment field and placed you here to write scripts," Leona said.Amelia curved her lips. "You must have gotten the wrong idea. Even though Liam was the one who announced that I was leaving the entertainment industry in my stead, I had the int
Amelia was surprised to receive a call from Alex."You want to go to Leona's birthday banquet?""Yeah, I thought I'd join in. Can you get me in? You're the Prescott family's daughter-in-law, you must have an invitation!" Alex said with a smile. She seemed genuinely interested in the banquet.The Lancaster family were the ones who held the banquet, so Amelia was worried since Hannah and Eric would be there."But Alex, Eric … he'll be there with Hannah.""I know. I'm just going for the atmosphere. I won't meet them."But Amelia couldn't agree to her request immediately. Alex sounded slightly annoyed on the other end of the line. She said, "Amelia, when you and Liam were having problems, I took you to events with me. It's just a birthday banquet this time, yet you're unwilling to help me out?""It's not that. I'm just worried that you might feel uncomfortable seeing them." Amelia felt bitter. Although the two had made up, she still felt some distance between them."If I end up
As the car pulled up to the Lancaster residence, Liam turned to Amelia. He said, "Are you going in now, or should we go in together?""I'll head in now," Amelia replied without hesitation.Liam was Leona's date for the evening so it was a given that he couldn't go in with her. Maybe Leona might even be waiting for her.Amelia had been worried that something might happen to Alex, but once she was inside, Alex stayed close to her and occasionally scanned the hall. When she saw Hannah holding Eric's hand, she gave them a few glances but didn't react further. This reassured Amelia.After a while, Amelia noticed that Hannah's eyes were fixed in one direction. She followed Hannah's gaze."Amelia, I thought you weren't coming today!" Hannah, with Eric by her side, greeted with a meaningful smile.Amelia glanced at Hannah, but she remained silent. Instead, her eyes were fixed on Eric.Hannah and Eric stood together. They were an attractive couple. But of course, one would have t
As Leona and Liam descended the stairs hand in hand, Amelia overheard people in the crowd discussing the pair."They look so compatible, a perfect match of talent and beauty. Too bad Mr. Prescott is already married.""So what if he's married? A man of his level must have an interesting past.""Exactly. The Lancaster family isn't what it used to be. If they don't get their act together, they might collapse.""I heard that the Lancaster family has tried to trap him, but he refused. Looks like she has her eye on Mr. Prescott!"Amelia felt her heart ache as she listened to their comments and watched the two together.She realized that she wasn't as big-hearted as she had imagined."Feeling sad?"Amelia turned her head to find Eric standing next to her.She looked around and noticed that Alex was nowhere to be seen. Hannah wasn't by his side either."Are those two together?" Amelia was worried that they might cause trouble.Eric nodded. Then, he smiled. "Don't worry about them. N
"I was afraid she might get lonely, so I'm keeping her company." Liam looked at Leona. Although he knew she was joking, he explained everything seriously to avoid misunderstandings on Amelia's part. He squeezed Amelia's hand and asked, "Did you eat earlier?"Amelia shook her head. She had some dessert when she came in, but she hadn't eaten much after meeting Eric and Hannah because she was worried about Alex."Then let me go with you to get something to eat." Liam then turned to Leona. "The opening dance is over and I'm not needed for the next part. I'll go with Lia. I left your birthday present in your room.""You're leaving already?" Leona looked surprised and disappointed. "I thought you'd stay with me until early morning like before."Liam raised Amelia's hand. "This year is different. I have to be with my wife."Seeing that he had no intention of staying, Leona looked at Amelia. Her smile was dazzling.She smiled and intercepted them. "I won't stop you if you want to l
