Chapter 111

Amelia stood stunned at the door.After snapping back to reality, she realized that it wasn't so shocking that they shared a room.Nicole was always at their home and slept in what was once their master bedroom. It was understandable that they shared a room during their holiday.Amelia just didn't expect them to be so blatant about sharing a room.She retracted her gaze and shut the door, turning to head toward the campsite to offer some help. After sending some of her drunk colleagues back to their rooms and settling them down, she headed to the reception to get some iodine cotton swabs before returning to her room.By the time she returned to her room, it was past eleven at night.She was about to step into the washroom to take a shower when the doorbell rang.Amelia furrowed her brows, thinking that it might be either Winona or Jasper. She put her clothes on and walked to the door to open it.The moment she opened the door, she saw Nathan with his clothes in his arms and a p

Chapter 112

Amelia thought she must have heard the funniest joke in the world. The nerve of him to say something like that! He made it sound as though it was her obligation to care for Nathan and that Nathan was her responsibility.Was she supposed to just take care of their child while they enjoyed each other's company this romantic night?She wasn't that cheap.Amelia smirked. "Christopher Zephyr, what makes you think that I should treat Nathan as my son? I've made it clear before that I don't want him!"The moment she said so, she turned to leave; she didn't give a damn about his response.Nathan sniffed as he watched Amelia storm away.His stepmom was wicked, indeed.-The next day, Amelia packed up her things in their room and prepared to bring Evelyn to an enrichment class.The moment she pulled her luggage case out of her room, she saw Nicole leaving her own room with Nathan in tow.Their gazes met, and both of them stood stunned for a while. Weren't they in the same room last

Chapter 113

Amelia hesitated for a moment when she saw that it was Dorothy calling. She eventually decided to answer it."Mia, have you been busy recently?"Amelia said, "Not too bad.""You used to always come home to visit me, but not recently. Did you have a fight with Chris?"Amelia didn't know what to say. Dorothy was still trying to play matchmaker for her and Christopher, but she knew things were impossible between them.She fell silent for a few seconds.Dorothy seemed to sense that something was wrong and said gently, "Come have dinner with me tonight after work. I'll book a private room."After work, Amelia packed her things and headed to the restaurant where Dorothy had booked a room.Dorothy was already waiting for her there. When she saw Amelia arrive, she said warmly, "Here, come sit."After settling down, Dorothy handed her the menu. "See what you'd like to eat."Amelia took the menu from her and browsed through the items.She was wearing a white shirt, and her sleeves wer

Chapter 114

From where did he get the idea that Amelia liked eating prawns?He probably confused her with someone else.Dorothy started scolding Christopher, reminding him to care more about his wife and stop burying himself in his work.Christopher patiently responded to every single reminder of hers.Midway through the meal, Dorothy looked at Amelia and said, "It's been three years since Adelaide passed on, and her third death anniversary is right around the corner. Are you starting to plan for it?"Amelia's grip tightened over her spoon.Her maternal grandmother's name was Adelaide Miller, and she was Dorothy's good friend. The two grew up together. Dorothy cared very much about her good friend's death anniversary and missed Adelaide dearly.Traditionally speaking, the third death anniversary was usually a grand affair. It marked the soul's complete departure from this world and its official transition to becoming an ancestor of the family.It was imperative for the death anniversary ce

Chapter 115

Christopher looked indifferently at her and continued talking to Nicole, "Yes, I'll be there in a jiffy."After ending the call, Christopher drove off before Amelia could say anything."Stop the car," Amelia said.Christopher was steering the wheel with one hand while resting the other arm on the open window. He looked straight ahead and asked lazily for her destination, "Where? At your rental apartment?"Amelia was in no mood to tell him her destination. "I want to get out of the car."Christopher said plainly, "Grandma wants me to send you home."That meant that if it weren't for Dorothy, he wouldn't bother fetching her anywhere. He was simply fulfilling the task Dorothy had given him, not that he really wanted to ferry her around.He didn't want to have to handle Dorothy's fit of rage if she were to question him about it.Christopher drove Amelia all the way to her rental apartment. Amelia opened the car door and walked out without any hesitation.Christopher didn't seem

Chapter 116

Jasper saw the calm look on Amelia's face and thought she must have lost her mind."Are you really not angry?" Jasper said, staring at her.Anyone else would have been driven mad by the turn of events, but she was so calm and composed.Amelia shook her head. "There's no need to be. The one who is favored will always be fearless."It was pointless for Amelia to fight for favor. In her past life, she ended up all bloodied and bruised just to make Christopher fall in love with her. This time round, she wouldn't be so obstinate and would choose to focus on herself instead.Nicole's educational qualifications were impressive, and she was a formidable candidate indeed.However, talents abound in the country, and it was challenging to stand out in the crowd. If Nicole wanted to seek an audience with Mr. Hale and be in the limelight on the national stage, Christopher had to pave the way for her and help in every way he could.Somehow, Amelia just couldn't bring herself to get mad over t

Chapter 117

Amelia took a deep breath.Christopher was trying to back them into a corner.She pursed her lips and said, "Try contacting overseas manufacturers. As long as they can manufacture the product, we'll have a way out."Claire agreed. The cost of manufacturing overseas would be higher, but it was the only choice left for them.They couldn't stop Christopher from investing so much in Tania's ACE Technologies. The only thing they could do was to give the project on hand their best shot.-With Adelaide's death anniversary right around the corner, planning for the event went into full swing.They contacted many overseas manufacturers who were able to take on their project, which they felt thankful for. At the very least, the project could go on.Dorothy called to ask about the progress of planning for the death anniversary event and reminded Amelia of many things. She was clearly worried that Amelia might miss out on something for her beloved friend's third death anniversary.Amelia

Chapter 118

Nicole had always been allowed to come and go as she pleased in Christopher's office, and Amelia was made aware of that the last time she came.The assistant found Amelia's lack of response boring and scoffed. "Why even bother putting on a front?"With that, he turned to leave.Amelia waited in the meeting room for three hours.She had turned numb from all that waiting, yet she saw no sign of Nigel calling her to Christopher's office.Just then, she saw Nigel leaving Christopher's office and stood up to ask him.Nigel was stunned to see her still there. "Mr. Zephyr and Ms. Randall left to go to ACE Technologies' office for a meeting. I told his assistant to inform you about it. Did he not?"Amelia's brows furrowed as she smiled self-derisively.Christopher's assistant came to deliver some snide remarks, but didn't tell her that Christopher had already left.Nigel knew Amelia's identity and pitied her from the bottom of his heart.She was Christopher's lawfully wedded wife, ye

Chapter 119

Amelia lowered her head at her uncle's question.Felix didn't know that she was divorcing Christopher. When she first married into the Zephyr family, Adelaide was still alive. Amelia always shared only the good news and not the bad, and everyone in her family thought she was doing well in the Zephyr household.She also had Dorothy backing her up.Now that Felix's health wasn't in good condition, Amelia didn't know how to tell him the truth out of worry that it might trigger his condition. She didn't know how to tell Felix that Christopher never cared to participate in any of their family affairs.Christopher clearly knew about Adelaide's death anniversary event, since Dorothy booked a private room and called them out for lunch specifically to talk about it.He simply didn't want to come.In previous years, when Adelaide was still around, Christopher reluctantly came with Amelia to visit Adelaide. After Adelaide passed on, he never visited the Lanes ever again.Amelia changed t

Chapter 120

Nothing regarding her was as important as Nicole.Dorothy looked at Amelia. "What did he say when you called him to ask just now?"Amelia pursed her lips. "He's busy."Felix scoffed. "There's never an end to earning money. Why is he still busy with work on such an important day?"Amelia said nothing.He wasn't actually busy at work. She just wasn't important enough to him. To be accurate, he had never cared about her before.Dorothy was very upset, but she tried to appease Felix's anger before giving Christopher a call.This time, he didn't even answer it.Dorothy's face turned stormier.Right before the ceremony was about to begin, Jonathan walked in."Why didn't anyone tell me about such an important event today?"Claire's face fell the moment she saw him.Amelia's brows furrowed as her face turned cold at the sight of Jonathan. She stood before her mother and said, "You're not welcome here."He clearly came uninvited, because he had his eyes on Claire's Ascent Corporati
