That night, Amelia and Liam stayed over at Prescott Manor. The lamp by the bed glowed with an orange light that filled the room with warmth and amorousness. Amelia didn't want to deal with Liam, so she got into bed very early. Just as she was half asleep, she sensed movement behind her.Liam got into bed. Seeing that his wife had her back facing him, amusement flashed in his eyes."How do you think I should deal with the matter of Ava?"Amelia's body went stiff. She shut her eyes and kept quiet, pretending to be asleep and not to have heard."Since there's no sign of you getting pregnant, my mother's worried about your health and wants me to take you for a check-up. If you really can't give birth, she wants you to raise Ava's child."Now, Amelia was even more scared to move. Ember had never liked her. If she was really infertile and couldn't give birth, she might be asked to divorce Liam.Liam didn't care if Amelia gave a reaction and kept talking. "My mother doesn't put
Liam always did what he said he would. In the next few days, all the renowned media outlets were reporting on Ava's exploits and how well Liam treated her.Ava had received sponsorships, participated in game shows, and accompanied Liam to events. With everything going on, people were saying that Ava's pregnancy had gotten her Liam's favor and doting. Seeing this news, Amelia had to shove down the pain she felt. Like her colleagues, she had to think about how to make the best of this news and get something out of it for the talents under Farah. "Since Ava's pregnant, I'm sure she won't be acting for much longer. We have to make use of this opportunity. As long as we can hitch on Ava's popularity, then our own talents will certainly get their chance too."Amelia felt a little discomfited when she heard Farah's words."Amelia, if you're not feeling well, maybe you should go home and rest for a few days?""No need, I'm fine!" Amelia quickly shook her head. She couldn't neglect he
What a clichéd manner of flirting, and Amelia had been the one to flirt with him. The man Amelia had bumped into smiled. He raised his hand and flicked his finger against Amelia's forehead. "Yes, we've met. Do you remember now?"Amelia looked at him in confusion as she took a step backward.The man reached his hand out again. "If not, I'm going to flick you again!"Blinking, Amelia covered her forehead with both hands. Her face was filled with happy surprise as she said, "You're my upperclassman! Shawn Jackson!"The man laughed but still reached out toward her head. Amelia quickly covered her entire face. Then, she heard him laugh as a hand caressed her head, messing up her hair. Just as she was about to beg for mercy, the hand started smoothing her hair back out."Silly Billy, my name is Oscar Jackson now—not Shawn Jackson. You'd better remember this."Amelia felt a bit bad. She had called his name wrong and caused everyone to tease him with a nickname spun from the mistake.
"Enough!" said Liam coldly. "You're the one carrying the baby. No one will stop you if you want to have an abortion.""Liam!" Ava looked at him in disbelief, never having expected that he would say such a thing. "You know who this child belongs to. Don't you remember? This child … exists because of what happened that night!" Ava explained tearfully. "You're my only man, and I have no one else!""Enough. Get out!"Liam massaged his temples. Before, he'd thought that Ava wasn't obedient enough. Now, it seemed that she wanted more than she could chew. She wanted so much that it surpassed what he had even expected.Ava wanted to say something more but didn't dare to when she saw Liam's expression. Though unhappy, she left.The second the door closed behind her, her eyes shone with a calculative light.Although Amelia didn't contact Liam often, she was always in Liam's heart. His interest in her had never waned, which gave Ava a strong sense of danger.It hadn't been easy for her to
After a 20-minute break, they went back to shooting."What's your relationship with him?"Amelia's body went rigid when she heard this. She turned to look at the man beside her, who had shown up at some unknown point. "Mr. Prescott, are you asking me?"Liam scoffed. "Is there anyone else here?"Amelia looked to the side. The few staff members who had been sitting with her just now had already left."As you can see, Oscar is here to shoot a commercial. I'm here to take care of him during shooting.""He has an assistant, so he doesn't need you to take care of him. Last time, it was Vincent Borris, and now, it's Oscar Jackson. Why do you love throwing yourself at people?" he mocked.As far as Liam knew, Amelia had never even met Oscar before. It should have only been a few days since they started working together. Did she really have to be so thoughtful toward him?Thinking of this, the words he said became even more cruel. "I let you move back, but you didn't want to. It seems th
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
Liam was hugging her!Amelia's body instantly froze, and she dared not move around. After a long while, the person behind her didn't move anymore, causing her to let out a relieved breath.Even though Liam had showered, she could still smell the slight scent of alcohol.Amelia thought to herself that Liam must only be hugging her because he had drunk too much. Thus, she reached out a hand, wanting to move his arm away. However, he held her hand just as she touched him."Don't move and sleep properly!"Amelia paused again. How was she supposed to sleep like this? She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she soon slipped into slumber again.What Amelia didn't know was that after she fell asleep, Liam opened his eyes to watch her. He even flipped her over and pulled her hand to place over his waist. In an instant, they were hugging each other.When she woke up the next day, Liam had already left the room. When she remembered how Liam had hugged her, Amelia's face turned war
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
