Runaway Wife Chapter 70 Feeling Dirty
Amelia's heart felt cold.As expected, even a few days of peace was an extravagant wish on her part. Of course, he had blown up at her over something she didn’t even bring up. Liam didn't trust her at all. It was never his intention to make peace with her. "Whatever, I'm cheap, sure. It's because I'm cheap that I keep waiting for you! I'm cheap, that's why I keep saying I don't want to get more involved with you but still wish to in my heart! I'm cheap, that's why even though I know Ava's pregnant …"Amelia thought that she could pretend nothing was going on if Liam didn't bring it up so that they could maintain their current peace.Their marriage had always been a transaction. On top of Ember's disdain for her, even she thought she was useless and couldn't be Liam's equal.Before, she could comfort herself with the fact that they had already gotten their marriage registered. But with Ava's presence and pregnancy, she was on the verge of collapse."So what if she's pregnant? K
Runaway Wife Chapter 71 More Than Amelia Can Chew
Amelia looked up to see Oscar standing beside her. She felt slightly embarrassed as she accepted the handkerchief and wiped her tears. "Thank you. I'll wash your handkerchief before I give it back."Amelia was a little worried. She didn't know how much Oscar had seen. Did he see Liam chasing her out of the car? Or did he only see her crying by the side of the road?"No need to thank me. You can keep the handkerchief." Oscar smiled. He didn't ask why she was crying. Instead, he comforted her. "You're going to be late for work. Come, I can give you a ride!"Seeing that Oscar wasn't acting strangely, Amelia comforted herself with the thought that Oscar hadn't seen anything. She nodded.Oscar was silent the whole way to the office, probably because he knew she was in a bad mood. When she got out of the car, he asked, "I still need to go over to shoot the commercial. Are you going too?"Amelia nodded. "Yes, I am."After the last all-day shoot, they had to pause the project for a bit d
Runaway Wife Chapter 72 In the Eye of the Beholder
Amelia scoffed. "Let's first put to bed the heinous rumor that there's nothing between Oscar and me. Even if things were as you said and we're in a relationship, wouldn't you be happier if I'd bitten off more than I could chew? No one would be fighting with you for Liam then."Ava's gaze shifted, and she suddenly laughed. "I was wondering how capable you actually were. Apparently, you haven't even slept with Mr. Prescott yet! No wonder you're so close to Oscar."In Ava's opinion, Oscar couldn't compare to Liam at all. If Amelia was seducing Oscar, that could only mean that Amelia was playing hard to get, even though Liam was interested in her, and gaining Liam's ire in the process. Thus, even when she got the chance to send Liam home, Liam still rejected Amelia!Ava was very pleased when she thought of this."As I said, Ms. Jenson, do you really think Mr. Prescott will take an interest in you? Don't forget that I'm pregnant with his child. Do you think Mr. Prescott will want anothe
Runaway Wife Chapter 73 How Could He Like Her
"What are you doing here?""I know you tend to forget to eat when you're busy. I got worried about you, so I came after shooting the commercial. It seems I've been proven right." Ava sat beside Liam and hugged his arm. "Liam, you're not single anymore. You have to take care of your health for me and the baby.""Are you worried I won't be up to your standards if I'm unhealthy or something?" Liam pushed her away coldly. For some reason, her perfume stung his nose."Liam!" Ava whined like a brat. She didn't dare approach him again, though. Even though Ava liked him, she was even more afraid of him."Just spit it out. What are you here for?" Liam hated it when people disrupted his work. From what he knew, Ava didn't have the guts to bother him.If he remembered correctly, Ava was supposed to be shooting a commercial today. She had probably already gone. Knowing how jealous she could be, Ava was probably here to talk shit about Amelia again.Ava smiled sheepishly as she took out her p
Runaway Wife Chapter 74 Your Actions Disgust Me
"That's true. If you really liked her, she would already have been your …" When she got to that point, Ava stopped talking. "I knew you wouldn't let me down."Hearing that Liam didn't like Amelia, Ava unconsciously ignored the rest of Liam's words. She leaned into him, expecting him to catch her.Liam got up abruptly, causing Ava to fall heavily to the ground. Ava wore a hurt expression as she called out, "Liam!"She was pregnant! How could he treat her like this?"I remember telling you to never come into my office without my permission. Don't overestimate how important you are to me! Just because I haven't said anything doesn't mean I trust you completely. That night at Riverbay Residence, did anything really happen between us?" His cold words made Ava feel a wave of guilt.Her strength wavered as she forced out a few tears. "Liam, how can you say that? You took me to Riverbay Residence yourself that night. You said you have many women around you, but you've never let any of
Runaway Wife Chapter 75 Let Her Learn From You
Although Liam didn't admit to it, many outsiders thought that they were dating. Since she was a talent in his company, he could manufacture a chance for them to break up amicably. He could even compensate her for it.After all, a woman he'd abandoned had zero chance of staying in the entertainment industry.But when Liam thought of possibly having another woman, he got even more worked up. He walked around the office but still couldn't resist the urge to pick up his keys and leave."Mr. Prescott, how rare it is to see you here!"Farah immediately rushed to the Astra guest lounge when she got the news, abandoning her work."Didn't you say you would treat me to a meal?"Farah's eyes brightened. She laughed and said, "Yes, I did. Everyone says that having a meal with you is a very beneficial experience. You, mister, have never given me the honor. Now that you're here, Mr. Prescott, what do you say?"Liam didn't reject her invitation to a meal last time, only saying that he would ha
Runaway Wife Chapter 76 She Really Wants to Prove Herself
Looking at the congested traffic outside, Amelia let out a sigh.With so many cars on the road and it being time to get off work, there was no way she could rush back in time. Even if she arrived in half an hour, Liam would still be upset.After some thought, Amelia called him, but Liam didn't pick up. She laughed bitterly. Liam really wanted her to trip over herself getting to him!Outside the Astra building, Liam sat in his car wearing a dark expression. He waited for five minutes, but Amelia still didn't hadn’t left the building. She must still be with Oscar!When his phone rang, the sight of Amelia's name on the screen annoyed Liam, so he tossed his phone aside and let it ring, ignoring it the whole time.Then, someone knocked on his window. Outside the car, Farah looked apologetic."I'm sorry, Mr. Prescott. I just remembered that Amelia went out for a commercial shoot with Oscar today. She's rushing back now. I'm afraid you'll have to wait. Why don't you come inside instead?
Runaway Wife Chapter 77 Worthy of the Front Passenger Seat
In the private room, Liam didn't speak, and Amelia didn't know what to say, either. She sat there with him, her nerves dancing on a wire.After the food was served, Liam looked at her and said, "Eat up!"Amelia looked at Liam. She was already nervous, and now that Liam had given the order, she didn't dare disobey. She finished half the food with the strange tension charging the air around them.Liam also finished eating when she did. Seeing the leftover food on her plate, Liam got a waiter to come over and asked, "Have you changed chefs?""You should know that we have never changed chefs, Mr. Prescott. And since you came personally today, our proprietress was the one who cooked.""Then please tell her I'm not happy with her cooking today!"Amelia was stunned for a moment. She found the food quite delicious!She had been wondering why Liam would come to this unassuming and out-of-the-way restaurant, but after tasting the food, she knew it was because it was amazing.In her ponde

Runaway Wife Chapter 797 Let Go of the Past
James spoke of the past without any warning.Amelia was surprised to hear the story. She didn't expect that the generation before her had such connections."I didn't know what Karen felt for me. She always hid her emotions well. She was always elegant and noble in front of everyone and never did anything inappropriate. She was a true heiress of a wealthy family."After finding out your background, I wanted my son to fulfill this regret for me since I couldn't be with the woman I loved. I hoped my son could be with her daughter."I wanted Luke and Leona to marry for this purpose as well. Family interests were not my priority. Unfortunately, they had an accident, and my wish wasn't fulfilled. Then, I found out that Leona had been to Bryxton and suspected the identity of Hannah and you. I told Liam about it but didn't reveal your identity."Liam's my son. How could I not know his thoughts? Once he found out that Leona had gone to Bryxton, he immediately went there too. And as I expec

Runaway Wife Chapter 795 Eric Left
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
Runaway Wife Chapter 793 Legal Couple
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
