"Madam, I feel that you have misunderstood Mr. Prescott."May's words made Amelia even more surprised. James said that Liam was facing some issues, but May just said that she misunderstood Liam. Why did everyone seem to think it was her fault? What exactly did she do wrong? He was getting married to another woman. Did they expect her to stay and be his mistress?May noticed her thinking and frowned slightly."When you think about it, did Mr. Prescott never eat your food?"Amelia knew that May was not someone who lied or simply drew conclusions, so she thought about her words."The first time I cooked, he ate what I made despite the frown on his face. He just didn't like it." Amelia lowered her head. "Although I'm used to doing chores, I'm not a good cook. Because we were poor, I was reluctant to use oil and seasoning. Besides, I didn't know how to use many of the ingredients you brought home."Seeing that Amelia didn't mind mentioning the past and was aware of her shortcomings,
Amelia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Liam hadn't returned to their bedroom. For some reason, she had an intuition that tonight Liam would not let her go.Therefore, she couldn't fall asleep even after she got into bed for some time. When she heard movement at the door, she quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.She felt someone entering the room to stand by the bed. Amelia guessed that he must have been watching her. Looking at her calm and sweet face, Liam had the urge to kiss her. However, when he bent down to get closer to her, he hesitated. His breath brushed against her face, almost making Amelia give up feigning sleep. She was so nervous that her heart seemed ready to leap out of her chest.Just when she wanted to give up and open her eyes, Liam turned and walked toward the bathroom. She opened her eyes, feeling relieved. But even after calming herself, she found it hard to fall asleep.What would happen tonight? Touching her pounding chest, she coul
After waking up from her afternoon nap, Amelia felt some stickiness between her legs.Initially, she didn't think much of it and assumed it was Liam's semen from the previous night. She also remembered that she had forgotten to take her birth control pills in the morning.She had bought the birth control pills from the pharmacy when she left Prescott Manor yesterday.The pharmacist had recommended the pills to her, but she needed to take them continuously for a whole cycle without interruption for them to be effective.She took out the pills from her bag and carefully read the instructions. She frowned as she realized that she was supposed to take the pills a week before sex!She was thinking of getting another type of pill when she felt something flow down her legs, prompting her to rush to the bathroom. Seeing the red stains on her underwear, she breathed a sigh of relief.After coming out of the bathroom, Amelia put away the pills. Her mood had begun to improve.Liam cooked a
Following the GPS navigation, Amelia arrived at the entrance of a hotel. Eric had sent her its location. Amelia also noticed that the hotel was quite near to the hospital she stayed in last time.When Amelia thought of the child she was not fated to have, she felt sad for a moment.Before this, she was looking forward to having a child too. But unfortunately, after she had painstakingly gotten pregnant, the child left her.Eric was already waiting at the entrance of the hotel. When he saw Amelia coming over, he hastily went to her. "Was the traffic alright? Did you get stuck in traffic?"Amelia shook her head. "It's not rush hour, so there was no traffic jam. Moreover, there aren't many cars in this stretch of the road, so I had a smooth drive here."Nodding, Eric smiled. "Let's go in, then. Before coming here, I already told her that I would be bringing a friend over. She's eager to meet you too."Eric had mentioned his adoptive father before, so Amelia knew that his adopt
After Eric left, Bella immediately took Amelia's hand and asked with an urgent expression, "Amelia, please tell me about the woman Eric is going to marry!"Amelia raised her eyebrow in surprise. She didn't expect this to be the first question Bella asked.But she didn't think too much about it. She thought that Bella was just concerned about her adoptive brother, Eric."The woman he's going to marry is … a young lady from a rich family too." After Amelia thought about it for a moment, that was the only thing she could say.If Amelia had to say something nice about Hannah, nothing much would come to mind. Also, Amelia had always thought that Hannah wasn't worthy of Eric.Still, Amelia couldn't say those things to Bella. It would only make Bella worry unnecessarily.After saying that, Amelia recalled when she saw Hannah in the pet shop. She remembered what Liam had said before, and she blinked."I think that if they truly want to get married and live the rest of their lives toge
During the wrapping party, Liam and Amelia naturally sat in the main seats. They were accompanied by the director, the assistant director, and also the male and female leads of the movie.The director was aware that Amelia knew Oscar, so he arranged for Oscar to sit next to Amelia. Hence, Amelia was flanked by Liam and Oscar by her sides.After a round of toasts, Oscar began chatting with Amelia. As for Liam, he engaged in small talk with the director.It was a rare chance for these people to dine with Liam, so of course, they tried their best to establish connections with Liam.Perhaps because of Amelia, or perhaps because Liam himself had the intention to get to know those people, Liam chatted quite happily with the director and the others."I saw the interview earlier. I can see that he treats you quite well," Oscar said, sighing. "I don't get it. If he loves you so much, why would he—"Oscar had lowered his voice on purpose, but Liam still overheard him. While Liam was chatti
The next day, Liam didn't go to the company. Amelia looked at him, puzzled. "Why are you still at home at this hour? You'll be late for work."Liam glanced calmly at her. "I am the president of the company, and I can go to work whenever I want. Even if I don't go to work, who is going to punish me for skipping work?"Fine. Liam was the president of the company, so he made the rules.When Oscar came over, Amelia noticed the look in Liam's eyes when he looked at Oscar. It was only then that Amelia realized why Liam didn't go to work. Liam was waiting for Oscar to come over.Oscar wasn't surprised to see that Liam was still at home.Oscar looked at Amelia, saying, "Can we discuss those things in front of him?""I am her husband. There is nothing you can't talk about in front of me!"Liam spoke up first as he looked at Oscar with an upset expression. Amelia didn't say anything. She was exasperated when she saw how strongly Liam reacted.She didn't mind if Liam knew about Monica
"I … Oscar, I'm only doing this because I know that you like her. I know what it's like to fall for someone. It's just like when I fell for your dad. As soon as I had feelings for him, I didn't have eyes for any other man. I am also aware of your feelings toward Amelia. I don't want you to be sad because you couldn't get the woman you loved, and you might even regret it for life."As Monica spoke, she began to cry. "I know that this isn't right, but … I don't have another choice! Think about it. If you truly marry Amelia, your wish will be fulfilled, and you'll treat her nicely. She'll also live a happy life, unlike her life now, where she has to endure so much mistreatment by that man's side. I'm not in Sableton, but I still catch up with the news over there. That man has so many women by his side, so of course, my Amelia must have been mistreated so badly! Most importantly, if you married Amelia, your dad and I will be rest assured. We wouldn't have to worry about our children's l
