Leona, who had been looking down, lifted her head when she spoke of marrying Liam. It was as if she were declaring war against Amelia. Amelia smirked. "You seem pretty confident, Ms. Leona.""I grew up with Liamo. Our feelings run deep, and he has a deep affection for me. Of course, I'm confident," Leona said confidently.Even though Liam had gone to Amelia and fallen in love with her, Leona never thought she would lose to Amelia."Ms. Leona, I think you've misunderstood. Liam won't have feelings for you now or in the future. Even before, his feelings for you weren't as deep as you imagined. Otherwise, how could he have fallen in love with me? True love doesn't leave room for someone else. I think, to avoid affecting your friendship, it's better not to have any misunderstandings, Ms. Leona."Amelia smiled lightly. "As for what you said earlier, I won't tell Liam. I'll consider it a joke."The corner of Leona's lips twitched, and she tightened her grip on Rory's arm. Rory was i
Liam didn't want to go, but considering the call from the hospital in the morning and the confirmed results, he couldn't just ignore Leona.Upon arriving at the hospital, he saw Leona sitting by the bedside, her eyes red from crying. Meanwhile, Rory lay on the hospital bed, his complexion pale."Liamo!" Seeing him, Leona immediately got up and ran toward him. When she attempted to throw herself into his arms, he sidestepped and went to check on Rory's condition."What did the doctor say?"Though Leona was disappointed that Liam avoided her embrace, she maintained a composed expression, as if the person who had just wanted to hug Liam wasn't her.She wiped away her tears and sniffled. "The doctor said it's a food allergy. But Rory has only eaten regular meals today, and those dishes are his favorites. This has never happened before."Rory was still receiving IV fluids. Liam glanced at Leona and realized that she was emotionally agitated. She wasn't in the state to answer his q
After hearing Liam's recount, Amelia was deeply moved.Although she knew that both James and Ember had already acknowledged her, she still felt somewhat insecure in front of Rory, considering he was their grandson.Liam ruffled her hair, showing affection. "Silly, he's the grandson of the Prescott family, but you're my wife. Besides, you're carrying their grandson in your belly. How could they ask me to give up on you? Would they abandon a grandson and a daughter-in-law just for another grandson?"Amelia was touched. When she looked at Liam, there was a hint of playfulness. "Well, no one is asking them to give up. Even without me, they will have other daughters-in-law."Liam's hand paused. Despite knowing she was joking, he didn't like it.So he said sternly, "You know my feelings for you. Don't say such things anymore, even as a joke. I don't like it, and it'll upset me."Amelia sighed. "Alright, my bad." Then she looked up at Liam. "So if Leona comes to me again, can I sp
"From the beginning, the person I loved was Liam, but my younger sister liked him too. I didn't dare express my feelings for her sake. But I found out that Dad wanted to use me to form a marriage alliance with the Prescotts. The Prescotts were focused on Luke at the time, and I knew that he was the one my dad was targeting." She continued, "For the sake of my dad and sister, I agreed to the engagement and acted as if I was very much in love. But in the end, he found out. He found out that the one I loved wasn't him, but rather his younger brother! He had a huge argument with me and even hit me, saying that I was coming between them. But I've never done that! The only thing I did was to fall in love with someone. Was that wrong?" Amelia looked worriedly at Liam, who was next to her. She was afraid that he would be upset. She took his hand and squeezed it, trying to give him some comfort. Liam knew she was worried and smiled at her. Leona continued talking. "He hates me. He ha
No matter what the truth was, Leona was convinced that Rory had gotten an allergic reaction because of the seafood ravioli he had eaten at Riverbay Residence. In addition to that, she had said that Luke was a murderer. James and Ember had no choice but to be careful. After staying at home for a few days, Amelia felt bored and wanted to go out for a walk. Coincidentally, Eric called that day and said that he had something important to tell her and needed to meet her. Amelia thought about it for a moment and then agreed. Ever since Eric reunited with his family, Amelia's contact with him had decreased drastically. However, it was Eric who had gone with Liam to save her, and they had even gotten her to the hospital on time to save the child. She was grateful to Eric, which was why she could not refuse him when he asked to see her. "I heard that you've become a screenwriter now. I've seen the script for your first drama, "Walking into Love", and it's written pretty well.
On the 1st of May, Liam took Amelia to the rehabilitation center to visit Peter and Maria. Unexpectedly, they met Kenneth there too. Peter and Maria were delighted when they heard that Amelia was pregnant. Maria kept instructing her on what to be careful about, and although the doctor had already said all the same things to her, Amelia still listened earnestly. After they ate, Kenneth said that he wanted to go home. Amelia suggested giving him a ride to the bus stop, so they said goodbye to Peter and Maria and left. "Amelia, has anyone tried to make trouble for you lately?" She laughed softly when she heard this question. "Why are you asking?" Did Leona's antics count as making trouble for her? However, there was no need to tell Kenneth about these things. Firstly, she didn't want to tell him, and secondly, there would be no use in telling him. Kenneth wouldn't be able to change anything. Kenneth glanced at Liam, who was driving. Then he hesitated, gritted
James called and said that Leona had invited them to the Lancaster Residence for dinner. She had specially requested for Liam to attend. Liam was reluctant to go, but he decided to for Rory's sake. "Lia, I'm going over to the Lancaster Residence with Mom and Dad. Rest well at home, and I'll be back very soon." Before he went out, Liam reported to Amelia. He was afraid that she would overthink if she knew that he was going to the Lancaster residence. Amelia nodded. "Okay. Be careful, and don't be deceived by her." She was disliking Leona more and more, and she was worried that Leona would use some other trick to deceive Liam. "Don't worry, it's just a meal. It's probably to discuss the issue of Rory. She wanted you to go too, but I declined on your behalf as you're pregnant and need to rest. I'm afraid that she'll trigger you if you go." Amelia knew what he was worried about. When they reached the Lancaster residence, Leona came up to welcome them, holding Rory's ha
As the argument catalyzed between the two families, Liam stole a furtive glance at Leona and realized that she had been staring at him. It felt as if she couldn't care less about the discord around her, And honestly, Liam did not like Leona's gaze."Liam, can you come with me? I want to talk to you," asked Hannah all of a sudden.Liam was surprised. He looked at the beet-red faces of his parents and nodded.Once in the garden, Hannah stared at Liam in an affectionate yet rueful way. Noticing the frown on Liam's face and not wanting him to leave out of anger, Hannah tugged at Liam's sleeve. She let go before Liam's arm flailed to shake her grip off."Liam, I know you love Amelia a lot. And I admit that I still love you. However, I have stopped obsessing over you. I will not do what is wrong. Also, I don't think that my dad made a mistake by calling Aunt Ember an in-law. After all, Eric and I are engaged. Even though Eric does not carry your surname, he is part of your family. Bu
