Chapter 9

Autor: Watermelon Summer
Jason thought that Amelia had been willing to do anything and sacrifice everything for his sake, so why was she making such a fuss now? Why was she refusing to withdraw the case?

Could it be a woman's sixth sense kicking in? Had she sensed the feelings he and Maria had for each other? But how was that possible?

They had been married for seven years, and Maria had been abroad the entire time.

At the airport, although he had held Maria in his arms, there had been people coming and going everywh

    When it came down to it, Jason was a member of the Chapman family. Once he insisted on taking Maria away with him, even Wyatt couldn't stop him.Following the fright, Maria was now so frail that she couldn't even walk on her own. She needed Jason to carry her."Amelia, you don't mind, do you?" she asked.However, Jason had already scooped Maria into his arms, saying, "She doesn't mind."Amelia nodded. "Uh-huh."It would only bother her if she cared, but she didn't. Why would she be bothered about Jason holding another woman when she didn't even want him anymore?She was only disgusted by their display.Amelia got into the car first and took the passenger seat. There was no way she wanted to sit next to those two.When Maria saw Amelia sitting in the front passenger seat of Jason's car, displeasure flashed through her eyes. It could only be hers!She said weakly, "Jason, I get carsick. I want to sit in the front."Jason looked at Amelia. "Amelia, move to the back."Amelia rai

    Amelia let out a mocking laugh. Because she had loved Jason before, she'd put him first and done everything with him in mind. Naturally, in his eyes, she had been understanding, generous, and kind. But now that she no longer loved him, she considered herself in everything she did. The moment she jeopardized his interests, he pegged her as unreasonable.The car stopped in front of a secluded private villa. The living room was brightly lit. Two groups of people, led by Wyatt and Maria, were facing off against each other.Jason hurried in, and when Maria saw him, she rushed into his arms in a panic. "Jason!"When she spotted Amelia behind Jason, the corners of her lips lifted slightly. She hugged Jason even tighter, her body trembling faintly.Jason gently reassured her, "Everything's okay now. Don't be afraid."Wyatt walked over to Jason and nodded respectfully. "Mr. Jason, Mr. Chapman Senior says that Ms. Ludwig would be better off going abroad.""Go back and tell Grandpa that I

    Amelia ran into the bedroom and was just about to close the door when a large hand caught it, firmly keeping it open."Jason, I said I'm not going!""That's not up to you. You're coming with me." Jason grabbed Amelia by the wrist and roughly dragged her downstairs.She stumbled about like an object being hauled around, nearly falling to the floor. The injury to her lower back was pulled painfully, sending a sharp, piercing pain through her. She didn't dare exert any strength, and she couldn't even if she wanted to."I already said I'm not going; now let go of me! You're hurting me, you bastard! Let me go! Let go! My hand is about to break!""Mr. Chapman, please! Whatever it is, just talk things out." Hearing the commotion, Lucinda came out to intervene. "Mrs. Chapman didn't pull up the tulips maliciously. She probably just got tired of them and wanted to plant some different flowers."Lucinda thought Jason was angry about the flowers."Lucinda, take good care of Ry tonight." Jas

    During those moments, it felt as though nothing existed in the world except for the two of them. They leaned on each other and supported each other. All of their exhaustion seemed to melt away. The only thing they felt was the warmth of love, as if nothing could bring them down.Thinking back on those little moments from the past, Amelia chuckled and shook her head, laughing at how foolish she had been back then.One entire wall of the study was lined with bookshelves. Her books and Jason's were mixed together, and she had to go through them one by one. It was just like her relationship with Jason—she had to sort through it and throw it all away.After putting Ryan to bed that night, Amelia was feeling somewhat tired. Her lower back was still hurting, so she decided to finish packing the rest tomorrow.She'd asked Liam for another day off so that she could move tomorrow. She'd report to work at his company the following day.Suddenly, a car sounded outside. Amelia walked over to t

    Jason had received a link to an announcement on Chapman Group's official website about a change in a senior executive position.He frowned. Who had authorized the announcement?Even though Amelia had gone to HR and completed her resignation procedures, he still needed to sign before the resignation could be finalized. His intention was to hold up her resignation paperwork and keep it from being processed."What's wrong?" Maria noticed his expression and leaned over to look. "Jason, if you don't want her to resign, just have the announcement taken down from the website."Jason turned off his phone screen indifferently and took Maria's hand."I'm worried Grandpa will see the announcement and give you trouble. Besides, once you give birth, you'll need to take some time for recovery. You won't be able to handle work at the same time. I wasn't going to let her resign for real."Even if she were going to leave, it would have to be after you've fully recovered. That way, once you have n

    "Amelia, I'm telling you, you're going to regret this. By the time you do, even if you get down on your knees and cry your eyes out, Jason won't forgive you."If I were you, I'd go back to Chapman Manor right now, reflect on what you've done, atone for your sins, and beg the elders for forgiveness instead of making a scene here and humiliating yourself," Howie declared.Amelia smiled faintly. "And if I were you, Howie, I'd go back right now, suck up to that illegitimate brother of yours, fawn over him, ask how he's doing, and butter him up instead of coming here, acting like a rabid dog and biting everyone around you."Howie's anger shot straight to his head. He snapped, "Amelia, you're absolutely impossible! I was trying to give you some well-meaning advice, and you turn around and mock me?"Who the hell do you think you are? You're just some trashy nobody from a backwater town! Do you think I'd even waste my time on you if you hadn't latched onto Jason? Would I have bothered sayi
