All Chapters of Perfect in Every Way: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Amelia's POVThree days later.Nathaniel Prescott came home dragging a suitcase behind him, with my best friend, Isla Monroe, following close behind.“Isla is dying of thirst. Get us something to drink!”Neither of them even bothered to take off their shoes before collapsing onto the couch, their legs casually intertwined as they shouted without a care in the world.“Babe, I want peach yogurt.”“Amelia, I’ll have my usual.”I said nothing. I simply brought them a cup of peach yogurt and a bottle of sparkling water and set them in front of them.Nathaniel instinctively picked up the yogurt, twisted open the lid, and handed it to Isla.Only then did he grab the sparkling water and gulp it down.Meanwhile, the tissue in Isla’s hand naturally found its way to his face, the corner of his mouth, and his neck, wiping them clean as though it were the most ordinary thing in the world.I was left standing to the side, reduced to nothing more than the person who fetched their drinks.

The next day, I returned to the company to complete the handover.My coworker, Sophie Bennett, came over and asked, “Amelia, did you really break up with Nathaniel?”I nodded.She looked indignant. “Good. Nathaniel is such a jerk. Just now, Isla started dry-heaving a few times, and he immediately panicked, scooped her up, and rushed her to the hospital.”My fingers paused over the keyboard. “Dry-heaving?”She nodded repeatedly. “Yeah. Everyone’s saying that, judging by the way she was acting, Isla is probably pregnant.”She glanced around before lowering her voice.“Amelia, I know she’s your best friend, but she’s never really treated you like one. She and Nathaniel have been involved for a long time. Isla originally didn’t meet the hiring requirements, but Nathaniel was willing to accept lower compensation just to bring her into the company. But when you joined, he didn’t say a word about it…”I swallowed the bitterness in my chest and forced a smile.“So it wasn’t a campus r

Third-Person POVThree days later.Nathaniel’s phone still hadn’t received a single message from Amelia.He pushed open the door to Isla’s hospital room.“Has Amelia come to see you these past few days?”Isla covered her mouth and shook her head.Her eyes immediately turned red.“She probably hates me now. Even when we used to fight, she never ignored me like this…It’s all my fault.”Nathaniel didn’t respond. He simply looked up and said, “Don’t think about it too much. I’ve already taken time off work. Focus on recovering. We’ll deal with everything else once you’re better.”After leaving the hospital, Nathaniel pulled out his phone and called Amelia.After several rings, the call went straight to voicemail.He tried calling several more times, but the result was the same.A sense of unease suddenly settled over Nathaniel.He called the company and asked to speak directly with HR.“Has Amelia been coming to work these past few days?”“Amelia? Didn’t she resign several d

My parents were worried that taking a long flight would affect the baby, so despite my protests, they practically dragged me to the hospital.The moment I looked up, I heard a familiar voice.“Amelia?”I was a little surprised to see Nathaniel. I hadn’t expected him to show up in our small city.A ripple of emotion stirred inside me, but it quickly faded.I smiled naturally and stepped around him, pulling Callum along with me.“Hi. You’re blocking my way. Could you move?”At those words, the smile that had just appeared on Nathaniel’s face froze.His gaze fell on Callum, and his expression darkened.In my memory, Nathaniel had always been calm and composed.But now, when he saw the wedding rings on Callum’s and my left ring fingers, his eyes immediately reddened.His lips trembled, and after a long moment, he finally managed to ask,“You… married him?”I nodded impatiently.Callum played with my fingers and looked at him seriously.“Mr. Prescott, you’re blocking our way
