Chapter 172 In her eyes

Penulis: Ela Osaretin
"Is there a 24-hour store nearby? Wait inside, it's not safe walking alone at night," he said. He could tell she'd had more than a few sips, and the idea of her walking alone unsettled him.

“I'm still inside the neighborhood. It's a wealthy area, should be safe," she answered lightly.

“Then wait at the security booth by the gate. I'll be there soon. Don't wander off, okay?" Lucas said gently.

Amelia gave a tinkling laugh when she heard his voice. "You know what? It sounds like you're talking to

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 330 Your challenge

    "Alright," Amelia said, raising a brow. "I'll be waiting for your challenge then."Xavier, watching them, silently tightened his grip on his fork. Wasn't this brat supposed to be learning how to cook just to win Amelia over? It turned out Desmond was determined to defeat her!Sure, Desmond had said something like that before, but Xavier had assumed he was just joking.Realizing just how immature his grandson still was, Xavier let out a long, weary sigh.Desmond, completely unaware of Xavier’s thoughts, was still lost in his fantasy of becoming a culinary master himself. "The current legendary culinary master's code name is Blaine," he muttered thoughtfully. "I need a good one for myself. Once I become his protégé and even best him, my code name will be…"Desmond grinned, eyes squinting playfully, and formed a finger gun. "Gavin!" he said proudly, pretending to blow smoke off his fingertip.“How about that? Cool, right? Doesn't it sound super striking?" Desmond looked around the table,

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 329 Exchange glances

    Paul and Alana exchanged glances. Their hearts ached for their daughter, but all they could offer was a few soft words of comfort. They had nothing left, no power, no influence. Only the twins in Layla’s womb mattered now.Their last hope, and they had to protect them at all costs. Moss was older than both Paul and Alana, yet he'd married their daughter without an ounce of care or respect, and that left a bitter taste in their mouths. But now, with their livelihood hanging on him, they had no choice but to swallow their pride and quietly endure.As the group was being turned away at the entrance of Roka Restaurant, the manager unexpectedly appeared at the door of the private room reserved by the Miller family.“Miss Brown, this is a bottle of exclusive vintage wine from our boss," the restaurant manager said with the utmost respect, presenting the bottle with both hands.The Miller family turned to Amelia, stunned. That bottle wasn't just rare, it was the kind of wine money alone could

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 328 Brief sound

    Amelia turned to look, and there was Layla, one hand resting smugly on her protruding belly. Standing beside her was Moss.Amelia’s gaze sharpened. Moss, the same man whose son, Ford, had been rendered impotent by her kicks and blows. How did Moss and Layla get involved? Now that Ford suffered from infertility, if the child in Layla’s belly was Moss's, Alexa's place in the family could be in serious jeopardy.“Amelia, why didn't you let me know you were in town?" Layla purred, all smiles. "I could've treated you to a meal!"Moss chimed in smoothly, his eyes locked on Amelia. "Why not make it now? Miss Brown, care to join us?"He smiled, but the flicker of hatred and desire in his eyes gave him away. If it weren't for Amelia, the Glyn family line wouldn't have risked dying out. Thankfully, he'd gotten Layla pregnant. Her pregnancy had been a miracle, a baby born out of his previously diagnosed sterility. But even with that, he wasn't letting go of his grudge against Amelia.Amelia didn'

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 327 Too much

    Lorraine's expression darkened in an instant.“You…” she started, then quickly shifted her tone. "This punishment's too much. I'm not doing it." She had intended to curse but stopped herself in time, not wanting to provoke Xavier. If that happened, she would never be allowed near the Miller estate again.Before Amelia could respond, Desmond frowned and cut in. "Since you were the one who accepted the punishment, you should follow through now that you've lost."He cast a meaningful glance toward Xavier and continued, "If you can't keep your word, then don't bother coming here anymore. I'll have my grandfather publicly announce tomorrow that the Miller family is cutting all ties with the Reynolds family."Desmond had long grown tired of Lorraine, and this was the perfect opportunity to draw the line.The Reynolds family had been riding the Miller family's coattails for far too long, clinging to that one favor they had done and parading it around to act high and mighty in front of others.

    "No objections," the three replied in perfect unison. They had no issues with the rules.Soon enough, a fresh deck of cards was brought in, and the first round began.Desmond started with a self-assured smile, but it slowly morphed into nervous sweat. Especially when Amelia placed her last card down, he just sat there, stunned. How on earth did she end up with such perfect cards?“I win. You three go on and see who loses," Amelia said, a subtle smirk tugging at her lips.Xavier, who had been watching the group from not far away, let out a faint smile, his gaze settling on Amelia with growing admiration. If she were to marry Desmond, the Miller family would undoubtedly soar to new heights. She'd run Miller's Casino like she was born to do it.Lorraine simmered with frustration, but she had no choice but to keep playing. She looked at her cards, baffled, with no idea how to move forward.Her luck couldn't have been worse. The cards she was dealt were downright awful.“You lost," Jessica

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 325 Low trick

    "How dare you hit me?" Lorraine shrieked, her voice breaking in outrage.“I hit you because you snuck in here with ill intentions," Amelia replied coolly, a sharp little smile tugging at her lips. Trying to mess with her using such a low trick?Lorraine had seriously underestimated her. She'd been wide awake the moment she heard the doorknob turn.“What proof do you even have that I entertained ill intentions? I just came in to check if you were asleep, and you slapped me without a good reason! I'm telling Celine about this!" Lorraine shot back, dragging Celine's name into it like a shield.Amelia let out a cold smirk. Her eyes darkened as she twisted Lorraine's wrist hard.“Ah!" Lorraine shrieked in pain as Amelia pinned her arm behind her back. "It hurts! Let go of me!"But Amelia didn't let up. Her grip only tightened, and the sharp pain shot through Lorraine's arm, as if it might rip straight out of the socket.“You're crazy! I said let go! If Celine finds out you're bullying me, y

    Up on stage, Amelia finally brought her performance to a close. Every eye in the audience shifted between her and the three maestros, who stared at her without…Blinking, Amelia rose slowly, and with all eyes on her, pressed the final piano key with effortless grace.The three maestros were stunned,

    Jessica chuckled, visibly proud. "Well, you've got an eye for talent. Amelia really is sharp."Emily, however, was tense. Her eyes darted between the two speeding cars, her nerves getting the better of her. "Amelia, do you think Eugene still stands a chance?" she asked softly. She honestly couldn't

    "Amelia says she suddenly has a craving for seafood chowder," Viola read from her screen.“Alright," Lucas nodded. "I'll head out now and buy the ingredients."“No need! Amelia said she'll bring them back on her way here," Viola added quickly.Lucas felt a faint pang of disappointment. Deep down, he

    Damian retorted, unable to hide his frustration, "Let it go? She acts like she's better than everyone. You're too kind, Sophia. If you won't stand up for yourself, then I will."Sophia made a feigned attempt to back down out of concern for Amelia. "But Amelia is actually Tiana, a celebrated pianist.
