Amelia gathered her courage and gradually inclined closer, pressing herself against Landon. “Wh–what are you doing?” Landon was taken aback once more. “Sleep with veu.” Amelia whispered. Her warm breath mingled with his, carrying a fragrance that was both alluring and inviting. Her kisses grazed his neck, each one as delicate and fragrant as the last, igniting a tremor in every cell of his body. The sensation of her incredibly soft and full curves lingered in his palm. Landon’s breath became heavy, and a surge of longing filled his heart. He craved her. Right now. His fingers twitched and came to rest on her waist. Amelia was very happy. Indeed, seduction works wonders, and he’s moving once more. However, his hands are nearly devoid of strength… Amelia reclined atop him, twisting slightly, her garments sliding to reveal a slender waist. Landon’s hand found its way to her tender flesh. Unobstructed by fabric, the contact with her bare skin was even more pleasurable. He exerted pressure and managed to shift a few inches. The desire continued to rage, making him feel intensely hot. He yearned to touch her more… “Landon…” Amelia called out softly, her voice tinged with shyness. In two lifetimes, this was the first time she had flirted with a man, and she was taking the lead. She was extremely bashful, but the delightful sensation evoked a deep addiction. “Amelia…” Landon murmured. The strain of trying to fulfill his desires left him uneasy. But he was powerless to do anything beyond caressing her with his left hand. For a fleeting moment, he even thought vengefully, ‘When I regain my health, I’ll keep her confined to bed for three days.‘ Landon was still grinding his teeth, caught between pleasure and frustration, but Amelia had already risen. The pull of gravity faded, and desire was dispersed into the void by the cold air. “No need to thank me. Just remember to protect me after our divorce,” Amelia said as she smoothed down the hem of her clothes to conceal her slender waist, her cheeks flushed and burning. Landon was stunned. ‘Ah, yes. She was merely trying to provoke me and didn’t mean anything by it…She controlled it well and withdrew at will. But was driven mad by her teasing.‘ Landon felt upset and responded irritably in a hushed tone, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll keep it in mind.’ “That’s good,” Amelia replied, lifting her red lips into a radiant smile. “Your left hand is healing well. You need to practice more.” Landon flexed his fingers and slowly raised his left hand. The sensation of movement was distinct and potent….
Chapter 29 Amelia turned her back to the bedroom, facing the night sky. Landon called out to her twice more in his heart, but she remained unresponsive He wondered, ‘Is it too far for her to hear my thoughts?‘ Landon’s depression deepened. ‘Listening to my thoughts apparently has a distance requirement. There was nothing he could do. Amelia couldn’t hear him and he couldn’t convey all his feelings. Even if Landon was angry…he could only digest it himself. With a growing sense of frustration, Landon thought of another thing, ‘Is she worried about how to handle Edwards Group’s affairs tomorrow? Well, it’s just a trivial matter. Why didn’t you ask me about it?‘ Curious about what Amelia would do, Landon stayed awake despite his fatigue, waiting for her to return to their room so they could discuss about it. The March night breeze carried the crispness of early spring. There was no moon tonight, and the stars shone particularly bright. Amelia gazed into the distance, contemplating another plan. Everything Walter did was to save the teetering Edwards Group, so she decided to fan the flames and let Edwards Group collapse. Amelia thought, ‘Without Edwards Group, the Edwards family would have no way out. Would Sandra still be eligible to marry into the Foster family? Yes, I’ll do it in this way.‘ Her lips curved into a slow, sly smile, her eyes twinkling with mischief. She returned to the bedroom and initiated a conversation with Landon. “You’re still awake. Were you waiting for me to come home?” I wasn’t waiting for anyone.‘ Landon would never admit that he had been waiting for her all night. “But I can’t wait to be home with you,” Amelia said, half–joking. Landon was quite moved, and his breathing eased. “Don’t you believe me?” Amelia asked, bringing a warm towel and gently wiping his face, hands, and feet with it. These were tasks she performed daily after they married. But this time, Landon felt her touch was exceptionally tender. Landon knew she wouldn’t be so nice to him for no reason. Landon said in a deep voice in his mind, relishing the moment: ‘Tell me what you want me to do.’ “Lend me some money. I want to purchase the Edwards Group,” Amelia replied. Landon breathed a sigh of relief. “Is that all?” “I’ve figured it out, and 100 million dollars would be enough. Don’t worry, I…
Melissa rushed to the hospital and saw her husband gravely injured, tears streaming down her face as she asked, “Honey, how are your “I’m fine, Walter managed to reply, his voice strained. “Don’t blame Amy. This isn’t her Tault.” “Honey?” “I’m serious,” Walter insisted, his voice weak but firm. “It has nothing to do with Amy.” He repeated this assertion over and over, reminding Amelia not to forget who had come to her rescue. Amelia, however, found the whole situation absurd. ‘Yeah, what does this have to do with me? He asked Angela to splash him with sulfuric acid. What does it have to do with me?‘ “I’ve settled the medical bills. Have a good rest,” Amelia said, got up, and intended to leave. Walter and Melissa were taken aback. “Amy, where are you off to?” “Home, of course. My husband is waiting for me,” Amelia replied, emphasizing the word “husband” with a touch of sarcasm. Melissa’s face became gloomy. ‘A vegetable knows nothing. How could he be waiting for you? Are you trying to intimidate us with the Kingsley?” “Amy, how are you getting along in the Kingsley family?” Walter inquired cautiously. “Not bad,” Amelia responded ambiguously, her tone deliberately vague. “If things aren’t going well, just tell me…” Walter’s words were cut short as he seemed to pull at the wound on his back, his eyes welling up and his breath hitching. Melissa could bear it no longer and blurted out, “Just worry about yourself. Our family is on the brink of bankruptcy. What else can you do?” “Amy is my daughter. I’ll protect her at all costs, even if it means losing everything I have,” Walter proclaimed loudly. A young nurse who had come to draw blood remarked enviously, “Mr. Edwards, you love your daughter so much.” “Of course.” Walter replied, casting a glance at Amelia. ‘I’m playing the role of the doting father. She be the one in the hospital bed.‘ must be touched, right? If it weren’t for my heroics today, she’d Amelia, sensing that the remark was aimed at her, played along. “Dad, thank you for saving me today. I’ll ensure you get the best medical care and come to the hospital to take care of you every day.”…
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Amelia finished her day’s work, ready to make her way home. She had grown increasingly comfortable in her role as president, and her daily commute between home and work had become a familiar, bustling, ar joyful ritual. As she approached her car, Walter intercepted her. “Amy,” he called out. “Why are you here?” Amelia’s face clouded over, her pleasant mood vanishing. She wondered, ‘Does he still see me as that naive and gullible girl from the past, thinking I’ll forgive him with a few casual sweet words?” “Amy, I’ve done a lot of reflecting these past few days. I have realized that I’ve “I’ve brought you all your favorite foods. I queued up myself to get them for,cted your feelings in the past, and I sincerely apologize. Amelia glanced at them, utterly uninterested. “Walter extended the food towards her with a hopeful expression. There were chocolate doughnuts, hash browns…all famous delicacies from Norava, so sought–after that customers had to wait in line to buy them. However, the total cost of all of them paled in comparison to the cost of Sandra’s afternoon tea. “I’ve changed my tastes and no longer favor these,” Amelia replied indifferently. “Changed?” Walter was caught off guard. “Then what would you like to eat now? I’ll go to get it for you.” “I like money. A lot of money. Can you give that to me?” Amelia scoffed, her delicate chin raised imperiously. Walter frowned, ‘Amelia has indeed changed. It’s getting quite challenging to deal with her. It’s all Zachary’s fault for not keeping his affair with Sandra discreet, which has provoked her.’ “Amy, are you short on pocket money?” Walter inquired tentatively. If Amelia wanted tens of thousands of dollars, he would readily provide it. He was willing to spend a modest sum if it meant convincing her to change her mind. C “Yes,” Amelia affirmed with a laugh, “The only thing in this world that won’t betray me is money.” Walter, taken aback by her boldness, swiftly took out his phone to initiate a money transfer. “Very well, “Are you really giving me money?” Amelia asked, blinking. I’l give you.”…
