The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again novel Chapter 101

101 Neither Of Us Is Alone Now 

Amelie sat on the bed and took a careful look around 

the room.

Liam’s bedroom was rather reserved in colors, it was 

evident that he favored all shades of black which 

contrasted greatly with the bedroom she had in Richard’s mansion. She wondered if Liam picked this design himself

The bed was big and wide; the gray and white bed linen felt nice to her touch and the more she slid her hands over it, the more relaxed she felt. The soothing feeling combined with a faint lingering scent of Liam’s cologne was making her sleepy

Turning the lights in the room off, Amelie snuggled under the blanket and placed her heavy head on the soft pillow but sleep was still reluctant to claim her into its embrace

It was a very tiring day‘ 

Amelie opened her eyes again and looked at the moon shining through the open window. The chilling sensation gliding over the skin of her face and

shoulders made her finally realize that autumn was already here

She tried to sort out her thoughts in an attempt to calm her busy mind

The first thing that came to mind was her divorce and instant marriage. She was still not entirely sure how she felt about being someone else’s wife. Ever since she was a child, she knew that she would marry Richard and help him manage the merged family business. Now, she was Mrs. Bennett; the wife of Liam Bennett and she was yet to find out what it meant for 

her

Oscar Bennett seems like a nice man. I’m glad that he didn’t feel prejudiced against meHis words have put a lot of pressure on me but I have to remain confident

I can’t let him down.” 

Then, her mind shifted to Vanessa Bennett

I remember hearing of her when she married Noah Bennett several years ago. Idon’t think she was happy to see me in this mansion.’ 

Amelie shut her eyes tightly again and hugged another pillow closer to her chest

Everything felt uncomfortable and very new and it was making her restless

It’s not like I expected everything to suddenly be the way I wanted it to be, but I can’t help but feel that even leaving Richard, my life will not become any bit easierI guess I am just being childish.‘ 

Suddenly, the silence in the bedroom broke, as someone opened the door without even knocking

Surprised, Amelie sat on the bed and looked at the person who barged into her space, her eyes instantly widening as she recognized the intruder

Liam?” 

The man didn’t reply and Amelie thought it was 

because he didn’t hear her. She called his name once 

more. Liam? Is something wrong?” 

Slowly, the man started walking toward the bed, completely ignoring his surroundings and Amelie finally realized what was going on

Is hesleepwalking?‘ 

At first, she was completely lost. She had never seen a person sleepwalk before and confused, could not

remember what one was supposed to do in a situation like this. And before her mind finally cleared up, Liam was already sitting on the bed right next to her, his open eyes fixed absentmindedly on something far 

ahead of him

Amelie slowly shifted to the edge of the bed, trying to be as quiet and unnoticeable as possible in order not to wake him up. However, somehow, she couldn’t leave the bed. She wanted to watch him

The bedroom was silent once again, only Amelie’s nervous, shallow breathing surrounded the two of them in their serenity

At last, Liam placed his head on the pillow and turned to face Amelie, who held her breath, once again not sure what to do next

Liam’s lips parted slightly and his deep voice reached her ears

I’m glad you’re here. I’m scared.” 

Amelie’s eyes widened as she couldn’t understand whether he was still sleeping or suddenly woke up and noticed that she was indeed right next to him

Liam?She called for him again but the lack of

response confirmed that he was still asleep. It made her feel a little better for some reason

Carefully, she lay right next to him and fixed her eyes on his strangely calm face. It was weird to see him like thathe was there, right next to her, the complete opposite of his usual cheerful self, and he was not even aware that Amelie was watching him

Suddenly, she remembered the talk she had with his grandfather

He said Liam was distant and depressed, yet I have never seen him that way. Could sleepwalking be the result of his vulnerable emotional state? I guess he came here because this is the place where he feels comfortable” 

Amelie slowly reached her hand forward but paused before her fingertips could touch his cheek. Her heart spasmed with regret

He said he was scared. What is he scared about? Of managing the company? Of shouldering everything alone? Was that why he said he was glad I was here?‘ 

She took a deep, yet inaudible breath and gently slid the back of her hand over Liam’s left cheek

Thankfully, that subtle movement didn’t disturb his sleep. Instead, he grabbed her hand and pressed it against his mouth, sending shivers down Amelie’s spine as she felt his warm breath and hot lips on her fingers

A light smile appeared on her face as she whispered, Everything will be alright, Liam. Neither of us is alone now. I will be there for you as long as you need me.” 

She closed her eyes and listened to Liam’s calm breathing, still smiling as his every exhale tingled the skin of her fingers

And finally, she was able to sleep

*** 

A faint, distant barking crept inside Amelie’s deep slumber, gradually removing the heavy curtain of dreams. She opened her eyes and looked at the pillow next to her

There was no one next to her. Was all of that just a dream
