Chapter 16 The Other Woman


    “Go back to your room. Leave the mess.” Liam regarded Amber shrewdly, appraising her shabby, faded


    night dress.


    Mia had been observing Liam’s expression since Amber appeared, rmed by his unwavering and


    intense gaze at Amber’s sleep dress and her tempting body shapes.


    Liam was never lecherous. On the contrary, he was self-restrict, almost to the degree of asceticism.


    Surrounded by all kinds of beautiful women since childhood, he showed little interest. But the way he


    fixed his gaze at Amber…


    Startled by this finding, Mia clutched to Liam’s arm, staring at Amber in an amiable smile: “You are Miss


    Currie, right? I heard him talked about the deal. Rest assured. My Liam is a good man of his words. He


    will never touch you even without the contract. Do make yourself at home here. Both of you will be free


    when the rumors abate.”


    “My Liam is a good man of his words…” Repeating those words inside, Amber felt Mia was asserting

    her ownership of Liam.


    Embarrassed enough, Amber felt so wronged by Mia’s hostility. How dared she reach for Liam?


    How could she, a poor, if not penny less grassroots womanpete with Mia, a wealthy, beautiful and


    well-connecteddy?


    Amber’s silence wore Mia’s patience thin. But good education kept her smiling: “Liam, what a shy,


    bashfuldy she is!”


    A lopsided smile betrayed Liam.


    Unfortunately, his subtle expression caught by Amber, struck her as ironic and superior.


    Stung by the shame of being the other woman, Amber felt so degraded and awkward.


    Turning her eyes away, Amber tried to pull a grin towards Mia: “Sorry to disturb you two. Now, excuse


    me.”


    Amber’s leave rxed Mia.


    She hated to have Liam and Amber living under the same roof—no doubt, it was a fake marriage to


    appease public critics. However, it was suspicious for Liam to resist to have sex with her at the excuses


    of the contract.


    Self-restrict as he was, Liam had normal, healthy sex drive at his prime age. Their sex, though not as


    passionate as it should be, was always pleasant and enjoyable.


    Why did everything change since the arrival of Amber Currie?
