Lucius stared at her retreating figure, his eyes deep and calm.
He realized he hadn't thought about the real Bella in ages.
In the past four years, with his constant guidance, Amelia had become almost a mirror image of Bella.
But what about his feelings? Had they changed too, without him even noticing?
Lucius didn't want to dwell on it. Whatever she wanted to do,he'd support her. The rest was up to fate.
Amelia stayed at the hospital during the daytime and then headed to Lucius's place in the evening.
It was ráining, and she pounded heavily on the gate outside the villa.Despite people being inside,no one answered.
"Isn't she Mr. Howard's girlfriend? Why not let her in?"
"You're new here and might not know it's Mr. Howard's order."
"Looks like they broke up. Anyway, she's not allowed in."
The security guards whispered among themselves.
Amelia waited for a while, and when no one opened the gate, she started shouting in the rain.
About half an hour later, a black Ferrari pulled up at the g
Chris got out, took a few steps forward, grabbed her arm,a
with me!"
Amelia turned to see his stern face and immediately got angry, hitting and punching him, "This is all your fauld"
"Whatever." He picked her up and tossed her into his car, then sped off.
Amelia fussed with him the whole way, but it didn't change his mind about taking her back to his villa.
"When you are on the right track, I'll let you out." With that,he left.
Amelia was placed in the bedroom she had once stayed in, and everything inside was just as it had been.
She couldn't help but sneer, wondering what he was planning with such meticulous care.
At breakfast the next morning, Chris unexpectedly showed up in the dining room. Amelia had just finished eating and was ready to head back to the studio for work.
Seeing her so calm and composed, Chris got curious, "You've figured it out so quickly. Don't worry, I'm way better than Lucius, in every way."
Amelia ignored him and got up to grab her bag.
"Where are you going?" Chris frowned.
"Back to work. So what if my boyfriend left me? I still have a life to live."Amelia glared at him, "I have a client meeting today, and in the afternoon,I need to pick up my godson from school with Sophia."
Chris's face darkened, clearly displeased. 'Damn Amelia, so stubborn.Let's see how this plays out.'
At three in the afternoon, Amelia left work early and went with Sophia to the kindergarten to pick up Owen.
"You haven't seen Owen these past few days. You don't know, he's been doing so well at kindergarten. The teachers keep praising him to me."Sophia held her arm, looking proud.
Amelia felt a bit guilty, "I'm sorry, Sophia. I should be the one taking care of him, but now you're helping me with my child, spending all your time."
Sophia glared at her, "Hey, don't be so formal and relax. You know I'm childfree for life. With Owen and Olivia as my lovely godchildren, I'm happier than ever. Besides, I didn't do much, just covered for you. The nanny is the one taking care of the kids."
The two chatted and laughed, and soon the school bell rang. Parents gathered around, eagerly waiting for their kids with smiles on their faces.
When the kids came out with their teacher, Amelia immediately spotted Owen at the front. Her eyes lit up, and she waved at her son.
Out of nowhere, a surprised voice called out, "Amelia, it's you?! What are you doing here? You're still alive!"
Amelia's face stiffened as she turned to see a familiar face.
It was Chris's mother, Diana Martinez.
Amelia and Diana used to live together as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
But their relationship was terrible.
It wasn't Amelia's fault; she was the one being mistreated by Diana.
Diana accused her of embezzling their money, not being able to win her husband's heart, and not having a child with Chris in three years of marriage.
If Diana hadn't followed her husband abroad, Amelia's life would have been even harder.
"Speak up, why are you here? You're not dead, why didn't you go back?"Diana pushed through the crowd, grabbed Amelia's arm, and glared at her coldly. "Answer me!"
"What are you doing, ma'am? This is not acceptable, please release her right now! Speak with words, not hands." Sophia quickly pushed her away and stood in front of Amelia.
Diana stared at Sophia, finding her familiar but couldn't recall where she had seen her.
At this moment, Leila came over, "Mrs. Spencer, I'm afraid that you recognized the wrong person. This is not Amelia Tudor; she is Bella White.Mr.Howard's girlfriend."
Diana frowned,looking Amelia up and down, incredulous, "How is that possible? She clearly is..."
"Ms. Ross, who is this lady?" Amelia finally spoke.
Diana probably just returned from abroad, so she didn't know what had happened.
"This is Mrs. Spencer, Chris's mother," Leila introduced.
"Mom, Ms. White." At this moment, Owen squeezed through the crowd.calling sweetly.
Sophia smiled and held Owen's hand, "Honey, let's go."
"Whose child is this?" Diana froze, staring at Owen intently,her eyes sharp.This child looks exactly the same as Chris did when he was little. Could it be...
Sophia shielded Owen, "He's my son, any problem?"
"You had himn with Chris?" Diana was' suspicious.
Sophia quickly stepped back, "Stop your imagination. I have nothing to do with Chris. don't overthink."
"What's going on?" Someone else arrived. It was Chris.
His appearance made many of the female parents' eyes light up, and some recognized him,immediately whispering.
"Chris, look, isn't this Amelia? How come you don't recognize her? She's your wife, and this child, he clearly..."
"Mom." Chris interrupted Diana, "She's not Amelia."
Chris's sharp, cold gaze swept over Amelia's expressionless face, and he said to Leila, "Let's go."
Leila's eyes flashed with joy, and she obediently held Chris's arm, "Sure."
"Mom, Dad is with that bad woman again." Owen muttered, "I don't want him anymore, never ever."
Amelia rubbed Owen's head, "Owen, I never wanted him. Isn't it nice for the three of us and Sophia to live together?"
