Runaway Wife Chapter 628 The Twinkling Festive Lights
"Come out for a moment!" Amelia was a bit puzzled when she saw Liam's message. She looked around the living room, but there was no sign of Liam. After re-reading it, she realized he wanted her to go outside.Peter and Maria were sitting on the sofa, watching the New Year's Eve gala on TV. Christopher and Kenneth were quietly keeping them company. As for David, he was absorbed in his phone, but at least he wasn't causing trouble. With her phone in hand, she curiously stepped out into the garden. Riverbay Residence had top-notch property management, and the entire neighborhood was well-lit with streetlights. Because of the festivities, many places were decorated with colorful lights. Even at night, the surroundings were brightly illuminated. Amelia stood at the entrance and looked around, but there was no sign of Liam. She walked a bit further, but still no sight of him. So, she called him. She heard his ringtone nearby. Without ending the call, she followed the soun

Amelia stood up and fetched a thin blanket, draping it over Liam. But as soon as she covered him, Liam woke up. "Did I disturb you?" she asked. Liam shook his head."I wasn't asleep in the first place." Peter chuckled when he heard their conversation. "If you're tired, go back to your room and rest. We'll continue watching the gala with Kenneth and Christopher." "Yeah, Liam, you and Amelia should go and rest!" Kenneth quickly added. Even David looked concerned.Amelia found it amusing. Peter and Maria genuinely cared for Liam, thinking he was tired and needed rest. Kenneth, on the other hand, seemed to feel pressured with Liam sitting next to him. As for David, he was genuinely scared. Faced with their concern, Liam suddenly felt even better. He smiled and said, "No need. I'm not tired. I never used to watch the New Year's gala as I found it a bit boring. But now, it's quite interesting.""Yeah, if you pay attention, the gala is quite entertaining. Those sketche

In the room, Amelia was wide awake, and Liam was sober. Liam placed Amelia on the bed, supporting himself with his hands beside her. They looked at each other with familiar emotions in their eyes. Gradually, their breathing became heavier. At midnight, the sounds of fireworks harmonized with the intimacy they shared.As they watched the dazzling fireworks light up the night sky, they both spoke at the same time. "Amelia, Happy New Year!" "Isn't it prohibited to set off fireworks? Why are there fireworks this year?" However, Liam was taken aback by Amelia's question.At that moment, Amelia realized that with the fireworks illuminating the sky, the new year had arrived. Although Liam wished her a Happy New Year, she asked a seemingly silly question and felt awkward. "Um, well, Happy New Year." After saying that, she dared not look at him and instead pretended to watch the fireworks. Liam chuckled, then lowered his head and leaned closer to her. "Maybe the governme

Liam had informed the security personnel, Jake, to forbid Sarah from entering their premises since her last visit. As a result, Jake had been on high alert when he spotted Sarah and deliberately kept her within his sight so that she couldn't slip into the house. He finally let out a sigh of relief when Amelia came out of the house. Sarah's eyes lit up the moment she caught sight of Amelia and went over to complain. "You're finally here, Amelia. Why is your security causing so much trouble for me? I've already told him that I'm your aunt, but he just wouldn't allow me to enter! This is disrespectful." Jake began to panic and explained himself. "Mrs. Prescott, this older woman claims to be your aunt and wanted to go in. I'm only blocking her way because I was told by Mr. Prescott to forbid her from entering as she isn't a resident." He was afraid that even though he was simply following orders, he could still be punished for disrespecting a family member if Amelia decided

Liam realized from her silence that Amelia wanted to enjoy Sarah's performance for a little longer. He then held her hand and silently stood by her side. Sarah was visibly envious of the couple. "Life sure is good for the both of you. You don't have to worry about food and clothes, while you live in your mansion. Unlike poor folks like us who couldn't even afford to enjoy some better food for New Year." She began to tear up as she spoke, and would often check on the couple's reactions from time to time whenever she wiped her tears. She quickly noticed that the couple had remained indifferent without any intention to ask her about her well-being. As a last resort, Sarah gritted her teeth in anger and knelt on the ground. "Your aunt is out of options, Amelia. Please help me, and your uncle!" Amelia glanced at her without any intention to help her back up and proceeded to bring Liam away. "Please stand up, Aunt Sarah. I couldn't possibly ask you to kneel before me. Who kn

David, Christopher, and Kenneth came back with the food from the hotel. "Why the puckered face? Was there a fight?" Peter was annoyed. It was New Year. Couldn't he catch a break? Amelia looked at her uncle and cousins. Their sour expressions were a telltale sign of a failed conversation with Sarah. "Thanks to that b—""Let's eat first. Grandma and Grandpa must be starving," interrupted Amelia as she stared daggers at David. Christopher also tugged at David's shirt to stop him from speaking. Peter and Maria were concerned. With a smile, Amelia helped Maria settle into her seat. "No need to overthink it, Grandma. David and I didn't argue." Maria looked at Amelia. Amelia's serious expression managed to convince her. If it wasn't an argument with Amelia, Maria had nothing to worry about. In her mind, David did not have the guts to argue with Liam. Since Amelia was not involved in the situation, it probably meant that David did something wrong and his sons chastised him for i

When Amelia went to give Peter and Maria their presents, both of them tried to decline. They only accepted the gifts when Liam insisted. As for Amelia's Christmas present, Peter and Maria gave one to her as soon as the New Year's Gala ended.Amelia opened the gifts from Peter and Maria and was stunned to see how expensive they were. Fortunately, her presents for them were equally, if not more, expensive.When Amelia and Liam reached home, they saw two cars in front of the villa. One belonged to Eric, but Amelia wasn't sure about the other. She got her answer as soon as she approached the door.Hearing the cackling from inside, Amelia paused and looked at Liam. "Why is she here?"Liam shrugged defeatedly. "How would I know? She's an adult. She can go anywhere she wants."Amelia slumped in resignation. She shouldn't have asked that question. It was a force of habit."Mr. Liam, you are here. Madam Ember has been waiting for you," greeted the maid as she relieved Liam and Ameli

If Leona had told him that before Liam fell in love with Amelia, Liam would have been touched. He might even divorce Amelia to marry Leona. But now, what Leona said sounded extra irritating. Liam almost couldn't believe it. Was this the Leona he knew?Liam wanted to say something, but he decided against it since Leona never stated her intent explicitly. He brought another slice of apple to Amelia's lips. "Say ahh."Meanwhile, Amelia was shocked by what Leona had implied. So stunned was she that when Liam asked her to open her mouth, she subconsciously complied and chomped on the apple.Eric saw the entire interaction and felt jealous. He knew that he could never dote on Amelia like that anymore, so he looked away. Out of sight, out of mind.Eric decided to visit in the afternoon, thinking that he could avoid the couple's public display of affection. Who knew that they came in the afternoon, even later than him?Leona was further agitated by the couple's reaction. She cried lou

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
Runaway Wife Chapter 792 Proposal
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
Runaway Wife Chapter 791 Pushing Her Away
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? Liam's just venting his anger on us. He won't trouble us again once his anger dissipates.""Of c
