No Sex for Six Years Because of Her? I'm Done novel Chapter 124

**TITLE: My Heart Waited Too Long and Choosing Freedom**
**Chapter 124: Dinner Invitation**

“Amelia, come here! Let Grandma take a good look at you!” The moment Fiona spotted Amelia, her eyes sparkled with a warmth that could melt the coldest of hearts. She waved her hand, beckoning Amelia closer with an inviting gesture.

With a sense of obligation, Amelia made her way to the empty seat beside Fiona, settling down in the familiar embrace of her grandmother’s presence.

“You’ve lost weight recently, dear,” Fiona observed, her voice laced with genuine concern as she gently patted Amelia’s hand. “You haven’t visited me in ages. Is your work keeping you too busy and exhausted?”

The tenderness in Fiona’s words pierced through Amelia’s heart, stirring a mix of emotions within her.

Forcing a smile, she tried to keep the conversation light. “Yes, Fiona. The studio has taken on a new project, and it’s been quite demanding.”

Before she could finish her thought, Grace interjected with a sharpness that sent a chill through the room.

“All you ever think about is work,” Grace remarked, her gaze fixed on Amelia with a disapproving frown. “Ethan has enough on his plate with company matters. As his wife, you should understand that.”

With a dismissive wave of her hand, Grace continued, “Honestly, I think you should just close that little studio of yours, stay at home, and take care of Ethan. That’s what you should really be doing.”

True to form, within moments of returning, Grace had already begun to showcase her controlling nature.

Amelia felt herself stiffen, her back instinctively straightening as she clenched her hands tightly in her lap, bracing for an argument. But just then, a familiar warmth enveloped her shoulder, and she realized Ethan had taken a seat beside her, casually draping his arm over her.

The sudden closeness caught her off guard, and she felt a subtle tension ripple through her.

“Mom, please don’t make things difficult for Amelia,” Ethan said, his voice laced with a mix of indulgent frustration and protectiveness. “She has her own aspirations and loves her career. That’s something to celebrate, not stifle. I wouldn’t want her to sacrifice so much for my sake.”

As he spoke, his eyes locked onto Amelia’s, radiating affection and understanding. His hand on her shoulder gave a gentle squeeze, a signal of both reassurance and caution.

Amelia couldn’t help but roll her eyes inwardly.

What a considerate husband he appeared to be.

If she hadn’t experienced the chilling betrayal and emotional distance he had shown her, she might have been completely deceived by his charming facade.

“Exactly!” Fiona chimed in, visibly pleased with her grandson’s protective stance. She turned to Grace, her expression a blend of wisdom and openness. “You can’t say that. Women should have their own careers and passions; it’s essential for them to thrive in society.

“If they spend all their time revolving around their husbands and children, they risk becoming stagnant and dull. Amelia is talented and skilled; that’s her strength, and we should be supporting her endeavors.”

Amelia had always held a deep respect for Fiona, not just for her kindness but also for her remarkable clarity and progressive views, especially among women in affluent families.
