NovelAppChapter 2138 "Uh..." Amber looked like she was being put in a difficult position. She found it impudent for a man and a woman to be alone in the dense orchard at night.
"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?" Liam frowned, puzzled. He felt that Amber was purposely avoiding him after expressing her desire not to marry him and making Mateo her groom instead.
Before, she would always put on her favorite dress and stand at the entrance of the fort, looking eager no matter how late Liam and Benjamin returned from their work.

Lately, she no longer did that. When Liam occasionally ran into her in the fort, she would bow indifferently at him and quickly brush past him as if they were merely acquaintances. They seemed distant.
Honestly, Liam found it unfamiliar. He couldn't get used to the fact that Amber wasn't fawning over him and that they were growing apart.
Although he never felt that they were ever close with each other...
"Yes, it's inconvenient." Amber found it hard to meet Liam's gaze. She kept her head low, summoned up her courage, and whispered, "I'm about to marry Mateo. It's dark, and the orchard is dense. If we go in there alone, people will gossip about it. So, I think.... We should be careful." "You're turningdown?" Liam raised his brows.
He couldn't get used to it at all. He recalled that she had always obeyed him; she had no independent thoughts, just like a puppet. She would neither refuse him nor everyone else.
Yet now, she was expressing her refusal and the need to stay prudent. It filled Liam with inexplicable discomfort. "I'm sorry." Amber lowered her head more and bit her lip uneasily. "I think it's not proper for us to go in there alone. It's unfair for you, me, and Mateo. If you want someone to guide you, I can ask Mary to help you." Mary Beck was Amber's servant. She grew up with Amber and was very familiar with the fort. Besides, she knew the orchard well. She could lead Liam into the orchard to look for Renee and Leia.
"I want no one else but you," Liam said, his gaze intense. Although he spoke calmly, he sounded assertive.

"Why me? I'm busy. I don't have to serve you!" she complained. The N content is on novelenglish.net!
"Oh?" It was the first tLiam saw such a reaction from her, as if the puppet finally calive. It knew how to express itself. However, he wasn't angry. Instead, he grew interested.
"Tellwhat you're busy preparing for. Let's make a deal. Helpfind them. When you do, I'll help you with your things. What do you think?" "No, that's unnecessary!" Amber rejected.
