The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again novel Chapter 4

4 Serendipitous Occasion 

Once dinner was over, Amelie didn’t feel like going home at all. The thought of staying under the same roof with Richard, who had been incredibly rude to her throughout the entire evening, made her feel dizzy 

and sick. 

She decided to spend the night away from home and went to the Emerald Hotel, the five–star establishment she inherited from her family and managed as her own part of the JFC Group. 

Amelie loved the Emerald Hotel with all her heart, mostly because it was the only thing left to her by her late mother. It belonged solely to her, and she 

cherished it the most, ensuring it remained as elegant and luxurious as her mother had left it. No one, not 

even Richard, was allowed to interfere with it. 

The moment she entered through the tall glass doors, held open by the handsome doorman, Amelie felt the tension leaving her body. For the first time today, she felt comfortable and calm. ↑ 

Although she rarely stayed there as a guest, one of the

pting her to approach the desk 

“Sir, I’ve already told you, this hotel does not accommodate pets. Besides, you made a reservation without mentioning your pet, so there was no way we could have known.” 

The tall, slender girl behind the receptionist’s desk offered the guest an apologetic look. Amelie shifted her eyes to the man who was having issues checking

He was tall and slim with a strong build, which he couldn’t hide even under the baggy shape of his black tracksuit. He looked like a celebrity desperately trying to conceal his identity–his face was hidden behind a black face mask and designer sunglasses. The only thing Amelie could discern was his messy black hair, which shone like raven feathers under the dimmed, warm lights of the lobby’s chandelier.? 

Pressed against his chest was a little orange corgi

puppy, comfortably snoozing despite the slight commotion caused by its owner. 

“But I specifically stated that I was going to stay with a dog, and your manager told me it was alright. Where am I supposed to go now? It’s too late to find a new 

hotel!” 

Although he seemed quite upset and even nervous, his deep voice remained calm and respectful. 

“Sir, I don’t think it’s possible that someone from our management team said that. Perhaps if you give me their name, I could call them and ask–” 

“I don’t think this is necessary, Miss Yang.” 

Upon hearing the hotel owner’s voice, the receptionist girl immediately offered Amelie a bow accompanied by another guilty expression now directed her way. The guest, too, fixed his deep brown eyes on the woman but remained silent, waiting for her to continue. 

“Please proceed with checking in as usual and inform every single member of the management team and staff that I myself allowed this man to stay with his puppy.” 

Mrs. Ashford then turned to face the guest and smiled

The off guard as the only thing he could blurt out was almost incomprehensible “Thank you!” followed by a very fast nod that finally disrupted the puppy’s sleep. Amelie responded with a polite but reserved nod and walked away, her mind already drifting away from the mysterious man with a corgi puppy in his arms. 

The second she closed the door to the penthouse behind her back, her phone vibrated with the incoming 

call from her best friend. 

“Lizzy, your timing couldn’t be better.” 

The woman on the other line responded with a chuckle and asked, “So? How did it go with Richard?” 

Amelie couldn’t help but sigh and Elizabeth realized everything right away. 

“He refused to talk about it. It was the first time during the years of our marriage that he was actually rude to me. Defensive and rude. I guess… This is my answer.” 

Elizabeth released an angry groan but quickly 

collected herself. “I’m sorry Lily. Of all the arranged

marriages we have witnessed, I have always hoped yours will remain untainted… It puts our lives in perspective now. What a shame.” 

Amelie took a seat beside the tall window and pulled 

her knees closer to her chin as she listened to her 

friend. Even when Richard reacted so harshly to her subtle confrontation, her mind still somehow refused to believe that her suspicions were true. But now that she heard Lizzy’s words, she suddenly felt small and utterly confused. 

“Lizzy…” she started quietly, her voice half–muffled as her lips were hidden behind her knees, “Do you think Richard would be upset if I took a lover too? Do you think he would be jealous?” 

The woman on the other line sighed, “Lily, I…” 

“Never mind. Well, it’s already late and I am kind of tired so I think I will go to sleep now.” 

“Alright. Sleep well.”
