    Chapter 2160


    Mateo was gone, leaving Liam and Amber alone in the restaurant. Suddenly, awkwardness and silence overcame them. An amorous feeling hovered in the air.


    Liam finally stopped acting. He chuckled awkwardly and sat up straight, then said to Amber," Thank you for what you did just now. I wasn''t that serious. I was just acting."


    "I saw that." Amber grinned, teasing him. "I''ve got to say, you acted well. I thought Matt almost strangled and killed you."


    "I''m not that weak. Plus, he''s not that brave either." A suddenpetitiveness gripped Liam; he purposely flexed his arms and acted strong. "Did you think Mateo could fight me? With his physique, I can defeat him with one hand!"This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    "Mm, I think so too. You must be stronger than Matt." Amber nodded, giving Liam her full support. She started to feel that Renee was right to im that he was just a child.


    "By the way, did you talk to Lh? What did she say?" Liam asked; he knew that Lh''s attitude was the key to quickly resolving that issue.


    If she was willing to make peace, they could resolve this mess in secret. If not, things would get even more troublesome.


    "Aunt Lh was furious and felt bad for her son, but she''s aware of her husband''s temper. She''s too scared to let this ident spread. She wants to check on Grady and make sure he''s fine before we let Ms. Everheart and Ms. Osborne go," Amber replied seriously as she recalled the details of her conversation with Lh.


    "Okay." Liam nodded, now more rxed.


    Things would be easy to handle as long as Lh didn''t insist on taking revenge on Renee and Leia. At most, they would wait for a few days. Liam was sure that Mateo wouldn''t dare to act recklessly despite how pompous he sounded.


    Atst, that conflict would be resolved peacefully.


    "It''ste. You should go to bed," Amber said gently, looking out at the moon from the window.


    After a pause, Liam failed to hold himself back and tried to sound her out. "Uhm... What about you?"


    "What about me?" Amber looked at Liam, dumbfounded and puzzled.


    "Have you decided not to marry Mateo?''


    "Yeah!" Amber smiled brightly. "I don''t want to marry anyone now. All I want is to study more. If there''s a chance, I want to go out of the fort and experience the world a bit. Maybe I can love someone who loves me back."


    Previously, Amber felt that she must marry a man she loved, and only then would her marriage be meaningful. After suffering a setback with Liar, she felt that she needed to marry a man who loved her. Then, her marriage would be more rxed and secure.
