Chapter 21 What's Your Relationship With Ava Summers?

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?" Amelia asked.Liam's intense gaze made her a little nervous."You wanted to ask me about something, right? Go ahead," he said. Then, he let go of the steering wheel and leaned back in his seat. It looked as if he was keen on telling her the truth as long as she dared to ask.Amelia blinked. She thought she might be seeing things. However, when she looked back at him, he had the same look on his face."What's your relationship with Ava Summers?" she blurted out without thinking. She regretted it the moment that question left her mouth. "Why did I ask him that?" she thought to herself."Actually, forget it. I don't really want to know. You don't have to answer that. Let's just hurry back."Liam chuckled. It turned out that his beloved was still as timid as ever."She's just an up-and-coming celebrity managed by my company."Amelia pouted. She didn't believe him. She remembered what happened that night, after all.Upon noticing Amelia

Chapter 22 I'm the One Who Raised You

As Amelia walked out of Riverbay Residence, she swept her gaze over the place she had lived in for three years. She had moved out a month ago and had only just returned. The villa looked the same as before. However, the excitement she used to feel for this place was gone."Madam, Mr. Prescott asked me to give you a ride," John said after stopping the car beside her.She was just about to refuse when he suddenly said, "It's pretty difficult to get a cab around here. If you want to get outside, it will be a long walk. Plus, it's dark now. It's not safe for you to be alone."Without much hesitation, she nodded and got into the car.Liam was upstairs. He felt inexplicably annoyed as he watched Amelia leave.Amelia used to wait for him every evening in the past. For the past month, he had returned to an empty and cold house instead.Even the bed lacked her faint scent. For the first time ever, Liam had trouble sleeping that night while Amelia slept soundly.Amelia went to work as u

Chapter 23 Making Someone Feel Disgusted

Amelia checked the contents of her bag once she got back home. David had taken all her cash. Even the spare change she had saved for the bus fare was gone.She only had one other ATM card with her. Even though there wasn't much money in the account, it had been the money she had saved for three years.At this moment, she was glad that she hadn't carried the card Liam had given her when she left for work. Otherwise, David would've robbed her blind.Though she was a bit sore from David's beating, she didn't pay it too much attention. She had endured the same treatment three years ago and was numb to it. Even so, experiencing it all again after three years felt equally humiliating.Amelia took a day off work the next day. She started looking around for a new place to live.She had transferred a portion of the money from her card for safekeeping via mobile banking. Since David knew where she lived now, she couldn't stay there anymore. Otherwise, yesterday's incident would only repeat

Chapter 21 How Are You Going to Stay Alive?

Amelia smacked Liam's hand away from her arm."If you find me so disgusting, why bother touching me? Aren't you afraid of getting your hands dirty?" she said. The pain and anger she felt made her forget to fear him. His words felt like knives cutting into her heart. Each cut hurt her deeply.In truth, Liam had regretted what he said the moment he saw that she was on the verge of tears. Even so, his pride wouldn't let him admit it.Amelia's rebuke only provoked him further."Fine! You're really something, aren't you? I'd like to see how you're going to stay alive without my protection!"Ava had a bone to pick with Amelia, after all. If Liam hadn't been around to defend her, Amelia would've lost her job at the company.Was she really this naive? Did she honestly think the outside world was better than Riverbay Residence?Liam was frustrated. He decided to get a group of friends together to play poker at the club. While they were playing, a few women came in and sat next to each of

Chapter 25 Bring Your Wife Home

Liam had been acting strange lately. In fact, he wasn't the only one feeling this way. Even Gio had noticed how odd his boss was acting. Liam's moods were erratic. He would go from being in a sunny mood to a dark one in the blink of an eye. Whenever Gio reported to him, he would have to tread with caution.When Gio entered Liam's office this time, he noticed his boss sporting an odd smile."Judging by Liam's expression, he's probably waiting for someone to fall into his trap," Gio thought.Liam was in a good mood today. Not only had Amelia lost her job, she also hadn't been able to find any work with other companies. He had kindly suggested she return to Riverbay Residence with him to enjoy a life of comfort. Yet, she had refused. Without a job to keep herself afloat, Liam would like to see just how long Amelia could survive outside. At this moment, Amelia was worrying about this very issue. She had found a place she really liked and planned to rent it. However, her job search

Chapter 26 The Daughter-In-Law Meets the In-Laws

When Amelia saw that Liam called her, she felt a wave of complex emotions fill her.She genuinely couldn't figure out the man's intentions. He would come to see her from time to time, sometimes angry and sometimes not. It was becoming hard for her to keep up with his unpredictable behavior. As such, she decided that it might be better to avoid him altogether.While she was browsing job listings online, someone rang her doorbell. She opened the door with confusion and was met with a familiar face. She initially thought that she was just seeing things and planned to shut the door.However, Liam was quick. He managed to slip inside before she closed the door."Is this how you usually treat your guests?" he asked.Amelia felt a little embarrassed by the question. "What brings you here?" she asked with an awkward smile."Why didn't you answer my call?" he asked.It turned out that Liam had come knocking at her door because she hadn't answered his call. He had asked her that question

Chapter 27 She's Really From the Countryside

Amelia stepped out of the fitting room and looked at herself in the mirror. She was taken aback. She hadn't expected herself to look so radiant and beautiful.At Riverbay Residence, Liam had prepared many clothes for her to try on. However, she wasn't very skilled at matching outfits. She also found many of the clothes too revealing to wear. As for the makeup, she wasn't used to wearing any. She usually went about her day without makeup most of the time.Upon seeing her reflection in the mirror, she was surprised by her own allure.Liam stood beside her and raised an eyebrow as he looked at her slim figure and beautiful face."Let's go with this outfit," he said decisively. He thought he should take her out shopping more often.Upon hearing that, Amelia timidly walked over to his side while gripping her dress tightly. "Maybe I should change into something else. I … I don't like this one.""It looks great on you!""It's too revealing," she whispered, covering her chest with one h

Chapter 28 Why Haven't You Contributed Anything?

A dull pain struck Amelia in the heart. She paused for a moment before heading back up the stairs."Madam, what are you doing here? Are you thirsty?" A maid who had just come out of the kitchen saw her and called out. Amelia stopped and looked downstairs to see Ember approaching with a cold smile."Since you're not asleep yet, why don't we have a little chat?" she said.Caught in the act of eavesdropping, Amelia felt flustered.As she followed Ember, Liam's gaze was fixed on her. It made her avoid eye contact with him. She didn't understand why she feared him so much, especially since she hadn't done anything wrong."Liam, it's been a while since you've visited. Why don't you spend some time with your father in the study room and play a game of chess?"This seemed like a ploy to separate Amelia from Liam so that Ember could have a private conversation with Amelia.Amelia glanced at Liam and hoped that he would stay. She had just met Ember for the first time, yet she could alread

Chapter 29 Let's Have a Baby

Still lost in thought, Amelia returned to her room. Ember's attitude toward her and the words she had said kept replaying in her mind.After she decided to move out of Riverbay Residence, Amelia planned to keep her distance from Liam. However, when she made that decision, she never once considered divorcing him.Following her grandmother's teachings, she ended up becoming a conservative woman. That was why she had always stayed at the mansion and waited for Liam. Even though he messed around with other women, she had hoped that he might change his mind someday.When he brought Ava home that night, Amelia found that she couldn't bear staying in that mansion any longer. That was why she moved out. She wanted some peace and quiet."What are you thinking about?" Liam asked.Amelia didn't know when Liam had entered the room. Upon hearing his voice, she instinctively looked up at him with a bewildered expression.Liam furrowed his brows when he saw her face. He stepped closer and brush

Chapter 30 A Huge Demand

Amelia's heart leaped into her throat as Liam's hand moved."What's he planning to do?" she thought.She didn't know why, but she felt a mix of anticipation and fear.Just as his hand was about to reach her chest, she grabbed onto it tightly. "Let's just … go back to sleep, okay? You have work tomorrow!"Her heart pounded furiously in her chest, and she dared not look at him. She kept her eyes closed but could still sense his lingering gaze on her.Eventually, he let out a soft chuckle. For reasons unknown, he ended up complying and laid down to sleep.Even so, Amelia couldn't relax completely. She still had a firm grip on Liam's hand. She was afraid that he might suddenly change his mind and do something inappropriate.Liam was the first to wake up the next morning. He moved a little and realized that someone was hugging his arm.He couldn't help but smile as he looked at the delicate face next to him.When Amelia was quiet, everything around him seemed so beautiful.Amelia
