Infatuated with my Ex-wife

Chapter 107: A Warm Home

Susie stared blankly when she felt a warm palm rubbing against her head. It had been a long time

since someone had been so intimate with her.

"We're here!" Susie said shyly.

When he pushed the door open, Liam saw an exquisitely decorated and inviting home. It looked rustic

and European with its blue and white interior.

There were light pink floral curtains, a soft fabric sofa, and carved decorative iron shelves that held

some treasured collections and some intricate ornaments.

There was a huge double swing on the balcony, and a rattan coffee table and chair were placed next to

it. He could easily imagine himself relaxing with a cup of tea as he sat there.

There was a kennel next to them, decorated with some fake flowers that looked real when seen from a

distance.

Green plants and luscious flowers were also placed in the corners of the house. Although the house

wasn't big, it was decorated in a beautiful and stylish way. It was obvious that Susie had put in a lot of

effort and thought when she decorated it.

"That will be your room." Susie said as she pointed to a room.

"I'll bring you to the store to buy some daily necessities and clothes later."

Liam was currently wearing her father's clothes. Susie had discarded the wedding clothes she had

found him in. He was given a hospital gown to wear but it wasn't very nice to let him walk around in

public while he was wearing that.

Susie didn't know what size he wore. Besides, she didn't have the nerve to go to the men's clothing

store alone, so she had no choice but to let him wear her father's clothes.

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Liam said with a smile.

Although it was getting dark, the streets were still filled with people, and some of them recognised

Susie.

"Hey Susie! Wow, what a handsome young man! I've never met him before," Alice said. She was

Susie's neighbour.

"Uh... This is my distant cousin, Liam. He's here for a visit," Susie replied. She didn't want to be

misunderstood, so she said that he was her cousin.

"It seems like you've found a boyfriend, Susie. You have good taste!" said Susie's friend. They ran into

each other while Susie and Liam were shopping.

"No, this is my distant cousin," Susie explained with a blush.

"Oh? Your cousin? Don't worry, I understand!" Susie's friend teased her.

"Oh, enough! Alright, I think we're a little busy right now, so we'll leave first," Susie said. She wanted to

leave this place as soon as possible. She didn't know what Liam would think after hearing what they

said.

On that note, she grabbed Liam's hand and ran away.

Liam wasn't affected by their words. He thought that Susie looked rather adorable.

Liam didn't expect Susie would grab his hand suddenly. He could feel the warmth of her hand, and he

allowed her to drag him away. It felt rather pleasant.

Susie looked around and didn't see familiar faces.

"Don't worry. They aren't malicious or anything. They're just concerned about me," Susie said. She

didn't notice that she was still holding Liam's hand.

When Liam looked at their hands, Susie followed his gaze.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I—" Susie blushed and quickly let go. She looked like a frightened rabbit.

Liam looked at her and chuckled. He rubbed her head and said, "Let's go. Didn't you say that you

would buy some clothes for me? The shops will close if we continue standing here."

"Okay!" Susie replied in a daze. She was too focused on his charming smile.

The staff greeted them enthusiastically when Susie and Liam entered a clothing store. It seemed like

the staff was head over heels in love with Liam's handsome looks! Liam was the most attractive man

they had ever seen.

"Does he have a girlfriend? The girl next to him should be his girlfriend. They look like a perfect match,"

thought the staff.

Liam strolled around like a noble young master, picking out his clothes. When his slender and pale

fingers brushed over a garment, the ordinary and unremarkable shop suddenly seemed to have

transformed into an expensive store.

Liam picked out a few outfits after he tried them on.

He was dressed in an ordinary white shirt and jeans, so why did he appear so different when compared

to other people? He looked like a medieval prince, both ancient and handsome.

"Liam is probably the legendary model from the tales of old! He would probably look great even if he

wore rags," Susie thought.

Susie was startled when Liam leaned in close to her.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go."

"O-Okay," Susie stuttered.

Both of them exited the clothing store and went to the supermarket. After that, they went home with Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

bags full of food.

Liam carried all of the bags, whereas Susie walked with empty hands. She had originally wanted to

carry some of the bags, but Liam refused. He said, "You're just a girl. How will you be able to carry

such heavy things?"

"I used to carry them all by myself back then!" Susie retorted.

"That was in the past. Now, you have me," Liam said.

Susie knew that Liam was concerned about her. It was just an ordinary sentence, but it sounded like

they were lovers.

After they returned home, Susie said, "To celebrate your arrival, I'll let you taste my cooking today."

"Do you need my help?" Liam asked.

"You know how to cook?" Susie asked in disbelief. She stared at this handsome man who seemed to

have come from a different universe, and she couldn't imagine how hot he would look as he cooked.

"Of course—" Liam said, unable to finish his sentence. He remembered how someone kept showering

praises about his delicious cooking back then. But who was it?

Liam seemed to recall something, and a figure appeared in his mind. But no matter how hard he tried,

he couldn't put a face to that person.

"Alright, you'd better stay aside and rest up while I cook," Susie said when she noticed he was a little

tired. After all, he had just been discharged from the hospital and needed plenty of rest. Susie blamed

herself for being careless.

Liam compared Susie's figure with the person in his mind.

Liam placed a hand on his forehead and thought, "Was this really his first time meeting Susie?"

Why did she seem familiar to him? It felt like he had known her for a long time. But Susie didn't seem to

recognise him, and there was no need for her to lie to him. So why...?

A delectable smell wafted from the kitchen and made Liam's nose itch.

Susie had prepared some stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, spicy mashed potatoes, stir-fried shrimp, grilled

pork chop, and a bowl of soup. The dishes looked very appetising, and just the sight of it made people

drool.

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I made some of each for you. How does it taste?" Susie asked.

Under Susie's expectant eyes, Liam picked up a piece of egg and tomato. He frowned after eating it.

Susie was very nervous when she saw his reaction. Although she was confident in her cooking skills,

perhaps she had messed up this time? Susie was very worried.

When Liam saw the worry on her face, he broke into a laugh and said, "I'm just kidding. It's very

delicious."

"Wow, you should be an actor with those skills of yours. You might even win an Oscar award!" Susie

huffed in anger.

"I saw how confident you were, so I teased you," Liam said.

After they finished their meal, Susie brought Liam out for a walk on the beach.

Keani ran around happily after they left the house. Susie wasn't worried and let her dog run about

freely. After all, they were very familiar with this route, and she was confident that Keani would never

get lost.

"Look, this is the place where I found you," Susie said as she pointed to a place nearby.

"The doctor said you were swept about by the ocean for a while. Perhaps you are from a nearby island

or maybe even a tourist?"

Susie didn't expect that Liam had been swept about in the sea for a long time, coming from a place as

far as the distant S City.

Liam couldn't remember anything.

"But then again, you had a stab wound. The doctor said that it almost pierced through your vitals. Do

you remember anything?"

Edward, or rather, Liam, didn't know that Celine was determined to die with him right from the start. The

dagger was aimed at his heart. Perhaps Celine's resolve weakened at the last minute because she

didn't stab him with all her might. She had only plunged the blade in his body gently.

Liam had a hunch that he wasn't a local or a tourist visiting the islands, but he couldn't remember who

he was.

"It's alright. Don't force yourself to remember. We have plenty of time! You will surely regain your

memories sooner or later."

Susie wanted to smooth out the frown on Liam's face.

"You don't look handsome when you frown."

Liam felt quite happy when he heard her comforting words.

He had a hunch that his past was quite complicated. Based on the stab wound he had received, Liam

figured that it could've come from revenge-seeking enemies.

If he continued to investigate frantically at this point in time, his enemies might locate him before he

could be reunited with his family. Moreover, his memory hadn't been restored, so he should take his

time for now.

Liam also didn't want to make Susie's life difficult because of him.

Celine wasn't aware of how confused she made Edward by stabbing him with her dagger. She wasn't

aware of his memory loss. If she knew what had happened to Edward, she would be clapping her

hands in joy. After all, she wanted Edward to forget Irene forever! That way, Edward wouldn't spend the

rest of his life together with Irene!

...

With Elio's help, Irene gradually stabilised her position in the company. Nobody else dared to question

her authority after a number of shareholders and senior managers stood up against her. The future of

the company was still secure even if they resigned.
