The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again novel Chapter 83

83 Then Marry Me, Mr. Bennett 

“What do you mean, Miss Ashford? What’s wrong?” 

Liam watched as Amelie’s cheeks glistened with tears, each drop tugging at his heart. Her distress was a knife to his soul, and he couldn’t bear to see her in pain. “Miss Ashford, please talk to me,” he said gently, stepping closer. 

Amelie took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling with a mix of hesitation and doubt. Regardless of her efforts, her voice remained a trembling whisper. 

“Mr. Bennett, when you said you wanted me as your wife… were you serious?” 

Without a second thought, Liam reached out, cupping her face in his big hands. Her skin felt warm and soft beneath his touch. He lifted her chin, ensuring their eyes met, and tenderly wiped away her tears with his thumbs. 

“As serious as a heart attack, Miss Ashford. I don’t think I can be more transparent about being in love,” he confessed, his voice unwavering.

Amelie’s lips trembled again as her mind absorbed his words. if he was serious, then she was ready to put her 

fate in his hands. @ 

“Then marry me, Mr. Bennett. I will become your wife, just like you wanted.” 

Liam’s expression darkened momentarily, his gaze dropping as if burdened by a sudden, heavy thought. He turned his face away from hers and his tightly pursed lips curled down for a moment. 

Amelie’s heart sank; she was afraid that she made him upset, believing she was making light of his genuine feelings. But then, just as swiftly, his face suddenly broke into a wide smile again while his gaze shone with excitement. 

“I was dying to hear these words, Miss Ashford. Marrying you will make me the happiest man in the 

world.” 

As she looked into his joyful face, a pang of guilt stabbed at her momentarily. 

If Liam truly harbored serious feelings for her, then her motives were horribly misguided–she had agreed to 

this marriage just to spite Richard; to save herself

and her own pride. However, the thought of Richard marrying Samantha and taking everything that belonged to her fueled her resolve once again. She was entitled to this, she convinced herself. 

Even if she was going to use this man for her own selfish reasons, the least she could do was to try and be useful to him as well. 

“Mr. Bennett… Regardless of our circumstances, I will do my best to assist you with the company and promise to never interfere with your personal life.” 

Liam’s face tightened at her words, a flicker of offense passing through his eyes. Perhaps, he finally guessed what was really happening with Amelie. 

“No matter what your reason for doing this is, I won’t let you go back on your words,” he declared firmly. 

Before Amelie could say anything else, Liam’s phone rang and he immediately glanced at the screen. “It’s Austin,” he muttered. “I snuck out while we were 

having lunch, he must be looking for me. I… have to go.” 

He offered Amelie one last regretful smile and nodded. “I will contact you later, Miss Ashford.”

Liam sat in his car, his fingers tapping nervously on the car seat’s leather as Austin scolded him for abandoning him at the restaurant with one of his partners. 

His hands were trembling, his mind a whirl of tangled thoughts. ‘I didn’t know I would meet her there today,‘ he mused, thinking back to the moment he saw Amelie in the gardens behind her hotel. I thought she’d be at JFC headquarters, I heard she has been busy these days. But not only did I see her, she told me she would marry me…‘ 

He clenched his fists, trying to steady his trembling hands. 

‘What is going on? Did that bastard finally decide to divorce her? But why so soon? Did something happen? She was crying…‘ Shaking his head, he resolved to make the most of this opportunity, even though he was worried that Amelie was hurt. ‘No matter what it is, I’ll prove to her that she will be better off with me instead of that moron. Even if this, too, is only a 

marriage of convenience, at least with me, she will be loved.‘
