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
"What about me then?" It was a pointless question, but Amelia asked away nonetheless. The anguish she felt was suffocating."You are and will always be my wife. That will never change," Liam answered frankly. He clasped Amelia's hands and looked at her with an intense yet romantic gaze as if he were taking a vow. "Trust me, I won't do you wrong."Amelia gave Liam a wry smile. Liam knew Leona wanted to marry him, yet he let Leona move into the Prescott Manor. That was the opposite of "I won't do you wrong". Her being his wife was nothing more than a fancy title. Amelia closed her eyes, refusing to communicate further. It felt surreal—her life turned upside down within a day. And she couldn't believe that the man, who claimed to love her, allowed another woman to move into his parents' place—a woman who wanted to marry him, no less.Amelia recalled what Liam and her in-laws told her several days ago. They promised to never let Leona influence their decision, and that they wo
Ember frowned in shock. Amelia had misunderstood her so she clarified, "I care about you too.""In that case, why let Leona move in? Don't you know what she's after? Didn't James and you say that I am the rightful Mrs.Prescott? That I didn't do anything wrong so the position is mine?"Amelia was getting emotional. She felt like the couple before her had betrayed her. Ember was aware of how unfair this was to Amelia. And she too felt guilty when faced with Amelia's accusation. But she had her pride as Amelia's mother-in-law, and she would not let Amelia yell at her disrespectfully. Ember donned on a stubborn front. "Leona is Rory's mother. Rory and her can stay with the family. I don't care what she's after. Rory needs a mom. Unless you agree to raise Rory with Liam as your child? But know that doing this gives Leona a reason to approach Liam."Amelia sniggered."Do I owe you a thank you then, for taking this parental duty off Liam's and my plate?"Ember was affronted by Amel
