The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again novel Chapter 15

15 It’s Mrs. Ashford 

The dimmed lights of Amelie’s hotel suite were making her sleepy, but she still had to finish the final preparations for the benefit. She was just about to send an email to Anna when the ringing melody of an incoming call interrupted her

Amelie looked at the phone screen and frowned. It was Richard

She had no desire to talk to him but decided to answer the call anyway

Must you always be so cold and rude?Those were the first words he said to her. Apparently, they were now at the point where they didn’t even greet each other

Her husband’s irritated, stern voice continued, If you don’t want to be friends with her, that’s your choice, but I have never seen you deliberately try to make someone your enemy, Amelie.” 

His words were followed by a sigh

She’s already had a difficult life, Amelie. She’s been

through a lot of trouble, and the last thing she needs. right now is you upsetting her with your cold attitude. All I ask is for you to be a little more considerate. Your whole life revolves around your charitable work, so show some compassion.” 

I don’t have to show her anything. She might be a person in need, but you are the one taking care of it. This charityis yours.” 

Richard’s voice lowered. You have changed, Amelie.” 

This single sentence made Amelie’s heart beat faster with agitation. She couldn’t believe her husband’s 

arrogance

I have changed? Then how exactly do you expect me 

to behave?” 

Forget it.” 

Those were the last words Richard said before hanging up on her

Amelie threw her phone on the bed and covered her face with both hands. All the hurt she had finally managed to suppress came back to choke her once. again

What do you want me to do Richard? What am

supposed to do when she is pushing me out of everything while I have nowhere else to go?” 

She had never felt this miserable before. She had witnessed her friends dealing with their husbands having affairs, and she had watched them remain stoic and strong as if it never bothered them

So why was it bothering her so much? Perhaps they all just pretended. After all, admitting that they were hurt would be admitting that they were weak. Nobody wanted to admit that they could be so easily hurt

Even if I never had lasting romantic feelings for you, Richard, you were still my friend for so many yearsand nowwhat are you now, Richard? What am I?”

The benefit was fast approaching, and foreign guests were already beginning to arrive. It was decided that they would stay at the Emerald Hotel, allowing Amelie to ensure their stay was comfortable and that nothing would go wrong

During the final preparations, both Amelie and Richard were occupied with their respective tasks, and Mrs.

Ashford was grateful that she hadn’t had to face him 

until now

Today, however, she had no choice but to stand side by side with him to greet their guests. All of them were important businessmen, some even potential partners

Welcoming guests of such status required both of them to be present; it was a tradition

The tall doorman opened the heavy, ornate door, and two bellboys immediately rushed to the entrance to assist with the guestsluggage. The first guest to arrive 

was the infamous Liam Bennett

Accompanied by his assistant, Liam walked toward Amelie and Richard with deliberate, confident steps, his entire demeanor exuding an impressive aura of selfassurance

Amelie wasn’t sure whether every rumor about Mr. Bennett was true, but one thing she could now confirm for herselfhe was astonishingly handsome

Unlike Richard, who was also quite attractive and had an air of maturity about him, Liam’s features were refreshingly soft, even though he appeared older than 

years. Amelie couldn’t help but wonder if this was

due to the sequence of tragedies that had plagued his family like a curse

Liam’s face was fair and devoid of any blemishes. His sharp jawline contrasted with the soft curves of his full lips and the small, angular shape of his nose. His eyes were dark, reminiscent of stormy skies, and the thick black frame of his long lashes gave him a slightly exotic 

look

The most prominent feature, however, was his jetblack, carefully styled hair. The color was so 

intense that under the bright light of the fading sun, it had a peculiar, almost silver glow. Watching it reflect the rays of light was an enchanting experience

He is not just handsome; he is strikingly gorgeous” 

Amelie caught herself admiring Liam’s beauty and felt her face grow ho.. She couldn’t remember the last time she had felt so flustered in the presence of a man. It was almost embarrassing

As if to come to her aid, the rest of the rumors about 

young Mr. Bennett rushed through her memory, and her mind picked the most unpleasant one to focus on

He is a wellknown womanizer who likes to sleep
