The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again!
Although it was only a marriage of convenience, Amelie Ashford was the perfect wife in every aspect. She was intelligent, obedient, and well-respected. She was kind to everyone and devoted to her husband. And she was perfectly content to spend the rest of her life like that, even though she was constantly nagged about getting pregnant. That was until her husband entered their house with a mistress by his side and eventually demanded a divorce. "Very well," Amelie said calmly, "I will divorce you." Richard's eyes shone as he heard his wife utter these words. However, to his surprise, she was not done. "But don't be surprised when you get an invitation to my next wedding." To everyone's shock, Amelie indeed got married again, and to a younger and, as it turned out, richer man! And she made sure that her ex-husband realized what it meant to lose the support of a woman like her. _____ Important: FL is not a Mary Sue. Divorce happens in the second part of the novel so watch out for your blood pressure.
To Be Someone's Wife
Liam's question invited a rather tense silence to replace the light mood surrounding them before. As they continued to walk the puppy around the gardens, Mr. Bennett could no longer bear the silence. He knew exactly how Amelie felt but he wanted her to open up and pour her sadness onto him as well. Mustering the courage, he finally said,
"I don't understand Mr. Clark… he already has such a wonderful woman by his side, what is he lacking that he needs to look at others? Some brain tissue?"
Amelie burst into laughter at his silly remark. It instantly made her feel better. It was fascinating how he always could lift her spirits just by saying something that didn't even have any meaning behind it.
Seeing Amelie in a better mood made Liam feel a little bit more at ease too. He cleared his throat to mask the soaring sense of awkwardness and continued, now a bit more seriously.
