Semua Bab Runaway Wife: Bab 551 - Bab 560

The office grew quiet after Liam finished explaining the situation around Lily.He gently caressed Amelia's hair. "I'll tell you everything you want to know as long as you ask me, wifey. But I do need to make this clear—the past is in the past. You can't get upset at me for that."Liam had an aggrieved look on his face as he said this, as if Amelia had actually blamed him.Amelia stayed silent and shot him a look, pouting. After some time, she raised her gaze up to him. "Don't think you can bamboozle me. Did you come here today just to tell me old stories?"Liam smiled in exasperation. "I just wanted to explain myself in case you started overthinking!""Your explanation went on for so long that one would think you were acting out of guilt!" Amelia scowled.She actually felt much better after hearing Liam's explanation. That was why she began putting up an unbothered attitude."I'm not feeling guilty. All I said was the truth. I genuinely love you to the moon and back," Liam sa

"Looks like your movie's going to be popular, Oscar," Amelia said sincerely.After Oscar's initial movie, he partnered up with Amelia to shoot their first TV series. It was Amelia's second official TV series gig.Supposedly, Oscar didn't need to act in TV series anymore since he'd decided to switch things up. But he still ended up accepting the role.Amelia hadn't understood the details at first, but when she did, they had already started filming. Only then did Amelia realize Oscar accepted the role in order to boost her reputation.Though Oscar's first movie wasn't a huge success, it still garnered a lot of support. It even helped him gain credibility in the film acting scene, though the effect wasn't as big as when he starred in the TV series."Popularity doesn't matter to me. I was never in it for the box office records," Oscar said nonchalantly.Amelia was puzzled about this for a moment before realizing. She said, "If you weren't in it for the sales, that means your goal is

"Pfft!" Leona suddenly burst into laughter. It was so melodious and pleasant that even Amelia couldn't help but find it delightful."Ms. Jenson, there's no need to be so guarded against me. Liamo and I are good friends. If it weren't for the accident four years ago, we could have been sisters-in-law."Amelia lowered her eyes, smiling faintly. "Ms. Leona, you're neither a fierce beast, nor a villainous person. Why should I be guarded against you? I'm just a bit curious about you, since you're the only friend of Liam's that I haven't heard of before."Amelia didn't know the details of the accident four years ago, but everyone believed Leona and Luke had died together.However, Leona had suddenly reappeared after four years. Only then did everyone realize that she was alive and well. Meanwhile, Luke still hadn't returned.The reasons behind this were known only to Leona.It was clear that Leona was a capable person. If she harbored ill intentions, her ability to come back from t

Liam's face darkened at Amelia's words. However, he didn't get angry. Instead, he simply stared at her.It seemed as if he wanted to see what else she would say.Did she ever consider that thinking of him and speaking about him in this way might also hurt and sadden him?With no response from Liam, Amelia realized she had gone too far. She decided not to continue. However, she didn't look at him either.Amelia knew she might have exaggerated a bit and made it sound worse than it actually was, but she couldn't help but feel wronged.She felt embarrassed when Leona, under the identity as Liam's friend, had accused her of not understanding Liam and causing him to lose focus on his work.In the end, it was Liam who broke the silence.He sighed. "Lia, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have assumed you misunderstood her without knowing the whole story. But Lia, I never intended to back her up. If I were to back up anyone, it would only be you."It's also my fault for not explaining things cle

Through Liam's narration, Amelia learned about what happened that night.Leona's true intentions for meeting Liam remained unknown to Amelia, but she instinctively believed it wasn't for the reasons Liam mentioned—to catch up with her only friend because she felt uneasy.Regardless of her reasons, Leona had called Liam in the middle of the night to meet up. Even though Liam didn't answer the call, Leona still went out. Or perhaps she went out first before calling Liam.Based on this, Amelia thought Leona's incident that night had nothing to do with Liam. She didn't agree that if she called someone and they didn't answer, and then something happened to her, it was the other person's fault.However, Liam regretted not answering the call promptly. He felt guilty for not giving it much thought when he had called back and received no response.Despite Amelia's attempts to console him, Liam couldn't shake off the regret.Amelia sighed. The ordeal Leona had experienced was undeniably
