Semua Bab Runaway Wife: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Amelia didn't want to return to Riverbay Residence, but Liam was downstairs waiting for her when she got off work. She got into the car huffily, thinking that she could still talk things out with him."You know that I need to go to work. If I move back, I might disturb you if I have to bring work home."Liam replied, "There are many empty rooms at Riverbay Residence."Amelia responded, "Riverbay Residence is too out of the way. It's inconvenient for me when I have to go to work …"Liam shot back, "I have to go to work every day too, and I leave from there as well."Amelia found herself speechless."Stop thinking about these unimportant things. Move back today. Otherwise, don't think about keeping your job." Liam didn't want to keep arguing with her and brought up the matter she was most worried about.Amelia kept silent. After some thought, she asked carefully, "It was because of you that I never found a job before this, isn't it?"Glancing at her, Liam burst out laughing. "Bas

John looked up and glanced at Amelia as she exited the car. He found it all hard to believe. He had seen Liam's wife a few times but had not interacted with her much. He didn’t know she would be so bad at picking up hints. It was no wonder that Liam didn't like her.Liam stared after her for a long time before ordering coldly, "Drive!"The car left quickly, leaving Amelia without an answer.That had to be a yes, then!Though she let out a breath of relief, Amelia also felt a little disappointed.Later, Alex called to invite Amelia to her place for dinner, suggesting that they could have a little barbecue together.Amelia was apologetic. "I already moved back, Alex, so …"Having a barbecue at Riverbay Residence? Amelia didn't dare. Alex stayed quiet on the other end of the line, prompting Amelia to cautiously ask, "Alex, are you mad? Do you think I’m a coward for not coming?"Amelia's wary voice made Alex sigh softly. "It's not that. You’re your own person, and I was just ma

The look in Liam's eyes flickered before he nodded. Amelia smiled brightly in response, dazing Liam a little.At the dining table, they sat opposite one another. "Why aren't you eating?" After eating a few bites, Liam sensed Amelia's gaze settled on him. He looked up to stare at her as well.Having been caught, Amelia felt a little awkward. Still, she gathered the courage to ask, "Is it good?"Liam frowned, not understanding what she meant. But after some thought, he remembered how she always used to cook for him before she moved out. Back then, he rarely ate her cooking.After looking at her a little more, he said, "It's good."Seeing the smile on her face, the part of his heart that had felt so weak before felt like it had been struck.After Liam finished eating, Amelia still didn't say anything else, so he frowned at her and said, "If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, the time for supper is going to end."Before, he was a little suspicious of why she had suddenl

"I heard that Mr. Prescott personally warned Mr. Borris off. He even granted him a favor. He actually gave up a resource to Mr. Borris' company."Back at Riverbay Residence, what Farah had said echoed in Amelia's ears. Had Liam really made such a compromise because of her?Amelia sniffed, feeling a bit touched.After three years of being married to Amelia, Liam rarely protected her. The only instance she remembered was when David had come to make trouble for her. Although she and Liam had still ended up at odds, Liam still helped her.That night, when Liam returned to the villa, May smiled and said, "Sir, the madam personally made you supper. Would you like to have some?"Liam was stunned for a moment as he scanned the living room sternly. May could tell that he was looking for Amelia and quickly explained with a laugh, "The madam wanted to wait for you to return, but it got too late. She was tired from working, so I told her to rest in the bedroom. Actually, she just went up. S

Amelia's heart felt cold.As expected, even a few days of peace was an extravagant wish on her part. Of course, he had blown up at her over something she didn’t even bring up. Liam didn't trust her at all. It was never his intention to make peace with her. "Whatever, I'm cheap, sure. It's because I'm cheap that I keep waiting for you! I'm cheap, that's why I keep saying I don't want to get more involved with you but still wish to in my heart! I'm cheap, that's why even though I know Ava's pregnant …"Amelia thought that she could pretend nothing was going on if Liam didn't bring it up so that they could maintain their current peace.Their marriage had always been a transaction. On top of Ember's disdain for her, even she thought she was useless and couldn't be Liam's equal.Before, she could comfort herself with the fact that they had already gotten their marriage registered. But with Ava's presence and pregnancy, she was on the verge of collapse."So what if she's pregnant? K
