Semua Bab Runaway Wife: Bab 661 - Bab 670

"What about me then?" It was a pointless question, but Amelia asked away nonetheless. The anguish she felt was suffocating."You are and will always be my wife. That will never change," Liam answered frankly. He clasped Amelia's hands and looked at her with an intense yet romantic gaze as if he were taking a vow. "Trust me, I won't do you wrong."Amelia gave Liam a wry smile. Liam knew Leona wanted to marry him, yet he let Leona move into the Prescott Manor. That was the opposite of "I won't do you wrong". Her being his wife was nothing more than a fancy title. Amelia closed her eyes, refusing to communicate further. It felt surreal—her life turned upside down within a day. And she couldn't believe that the man, who claimed to love her, allowed another woman to move into his parents' place—a woman who wanted to marry him, no less.Amelia recalled what Liam and her in-laws told her several days ago. They promised to never let Leona influence their decision, and that they wo

Amelia had assumed that Liam was doing this for Rory. She was wrong. There was another reason. While Amelia was busy processing the information, Leona suddenly jerked up and slapped herself."I know this is my fault, Ms. Jenson. But I'm doing this for Rory. I never want to separate you two. I … I'll tell Liamo that I'm not moving in anymore. I raise Rory on my own." Leona covered half of her face and wept pitifully. That was the scene Liam saw when he came in. Amelia saw on the side of the bed with a stoic face, while Leona looked vulnerable and helpless.Amelia frowned. "What is this, Ms. Lancaster? I merely asked you a few questions. You made it sound like I was bullying you."Leona shook her head frantically. "No, no. You did not bully me. It's my fault anyway. It's all my fault. Please don't resent Liamo. It was I who insisted on moving in for Rory. I … Sorry. Please don't hurt Rory. Once my body is healed, I'll leave with Rory. Please. I'm begging you. It's my fault. So c

Amelia's proposition shook the very core of Liam's soul. He was bewildered, his lips parted, as if he was about to utter something. Amelia looked at Liam hopefully, but Liam never formed a word.She mocked herself, "It's just my wishful thinking, isn't it?"Once a man no longer loved you, no amount of begging could make him stay. Amelia turned around, missing the brief look of pain on Liam's face."Don't overthink this. Rest here and take care of your baby. May will be here. I'll come and see you as often as possible. As for the rest, we cross the bridge when we're there."Liam then added, "Don't worry about Peter and Maria either. I'll take care of them. I'll bring them to you when you're at the late stages of your pregnancy."Liam's husky voice was full of affection and love, yet Amelia only felt coldness and cruelty. He cast his eyes down in disappointment when Amelia refused to communicate further or see him.Liam peered into his wife for a while, before he let out a chuckle.

Liam spent the night with Amelia that evening. Though they shared the same bed, they were separated by an invisible line, like the crack in their marriage.Liam looked at Amelia's silhouette in the dark. A lot of things played in his mind. Although Amelia had her back turned on Liam, the intense gaze was too hard to ignore. Liam was staring at her.However, long gone was the naiveté Amelia once had. She would not believe Liam again. "You don't want to know where I was in the afternoon?"Liam was frustrated by Amelia's cold shoulder. Legally speaking, they were still married. Her refusal to communicate despite their proximity began to irate Liam.Amelia heard Liam loud and clear, of course, but she didn't want to talk to him. To provoke a response out of Amelia, Liam added something that truly made Amelia angry. "You're my wife. Shouldn't you be concerned about what I did? Am I not your husband?""Why does it matter? I won't be your wife soon enough. You already decided to divo

"Mr. Prescott, Astra seems to have been in close contact with them recently. Could it be that something's going to happen?"　　Gio reported the recent news when Liam arrived at the office.　　Liam frowned and asked, "Them? You mean the government?" 　　Gio nodded his head. "Yes, I believe they've managed to make a deal."　　Liam thought for a while and snorted. "That person sure isn't willing to give up."　　Gio realized that Liam must have gotten himself into another conflict with that person.　　"Should we do something, Mr. Prescott?"　　"There's no need to do anything. Tell everyone not to openly go against Astra, and there's no need to snatch away any projects from them. We only need to do what we've been doing."　　"Won't this make people think that we are…"　　Gio was hesitant as he couldn't comprehend why Liam was willing to back off like this.　　"Afraid of Astra?"　　Liam raised his eyebrows and looked at him while finishing his sentence for him.　　Gio sheepishly answered
