Chapter 306: Larry's Sweet Talk
Amelia's POV:
When I heard Jennifer's voice on the other end of the line, I felt somewhat relieved.
Nervously, I told her what had just happened.
"I just received a message from Larry.He's askingto meet him.What should I do?"
I clutched the phone against my ear tightly, at a loss.I was quietly reading in my room when Larry textedout of the blue.I didn't know how to reply, and I didn't dare act rash.So I called Jennifer to ask for her opinion on the matter first.
"Thanks for telling me, Amelia.Don't worry.You can meet up with Larry.I'll ask Anthony to have his men follow you in secret.You'll be safe.Don't be afraid."
Jennifer's voice was soothing and reassuring, which lifted a weight off my shoulders.
"Oh, my God! Really? Thank you so much!" I took a deep breath to calm myself down.
"I'll reply to Larry right this instant."
After hanging up the phone, I did as I said.
"Where do you want to meet?" I texted Larry.
Seconds later, I received a reply.
"Let's meet at the French restaurant in the capital square at eight o'clock this evening."
My heart raced as I read his message over and over again.I was doomed to meet that spiteful man again.I closed my eyes and took deep breaths.
When I felt that I was calm enough, I climbed out of bed and went to look for Morgan.
To trick Larry into thinking that Morgan and I had broken up, we were forced to sleep in different rooms.
These days, Morgan seldom went out and stayed in his room almost all day long.I knocked on his door.
"Morgan, it's me!" Morgan quickly opened the door and greetedwith a warm smile.

"Larry askedto meet him at the French restaurant in the capital square at eight o'clock tonight.I have already agreed to see him.Jennifer said that Anthony would send his men to followsecretly."
As soon as Morgan heard what I said, he wrapped his arms around my waist and heldtightly.
"It's too dangerous.Honey, I don't want you to take the risk.I can't lose you again."
His tone was full of sadness, which made my heart tight.He had suffered for years, living in isolation on the snow mountain.
I understood exactly how he felt.Because I had felt the same.
"I'll be under the protection of Anthony's men.I'll be fine.I trust his guards.We need to deal with Larry as soon as possible." I sighed heavily.
"Oh, Morgan, wait forto cback, okay?"
"Of course, Amelia." Morgan looked ataffectionately.
"I'll wait for you to cback."
Then, he cupped my face and kisseddeeply.I put my arms around his waist, kissing him back passionately, yet feeling very depressed at the stime.I couldn't believe I was leaving Morgan to see Larry.
This wasn't what I wanted.
"You have suffered too much these days, my love!" Morgan said sadly.
"We will get our happy ending soon, honey.But in order to convince Larry that we have broken up, we can't see each other in the following days."
As I spoke, I struggled to hold back my tears.
"I understand.Go ahead, Amelia.I'll wait for you to cback," Morgan said softly, looking atwith tears in his eyes.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but shed tears too.
"Morgan...I will definitely cback!"
After coordinating with Anthony's men, I went to the French restaurant at eight o'clock on the dot.
When I entered the private room, I found Larry already sitting on the sofa.
He looked up atand grinned widely.He was still using his magic to make himself look young.
His youthful face was so handsthat it felt unreal.
"Oh, Larry, I didn't think you'd be here already." I tried to speak calmly, but in truth, I was very nervous.
After hesitating for a while, I cautiously walked towards the sofa and sat down beside Larry.
Larry's POV:
When Amelia sat down next to me, I almost jumped with joy.
Oh, my God!
This was my beloved woman.
How beautiful and charming she was! Every tI looked into her big eyes, I could recall the days when I was young and in love with her.I was intoxicated with those days.
Seeing her here, right next to me, I was so excited I could barely contain myself.
"Amelia, my sweetheart.I almost doubted that you would chere.In fact, I was ready to...Oh, I don't want to ruin the atmosphere!"
I was just glad that Amelia had shown up.
"I've already ordered sfood that you like.Do you want anything? Order whatever you want."
"Thank you," Amelia thankedin a stiff tone.
"So what do you want this time?" I reached out to hug Amelia.
"Honey, I just missed you so much.I haven't seen you in a while.You don't know how heartbroken I was.I can't stand living without you.” Amelia evaded my embrace.
"Stop, Larry!"
Despite this, I didn't give up.I kept trying to reach out I to hug her, whispering, "Amelia, don't leave me! You know I'll go crazy!"

Seeing this, I was overjoyed.
"I always knew you didn't hatethat much.Am I right?"
I held Amelia in my arms, scared to let her go.
Gently kissing her earlobe, I whispered, "Did Morgan piss you off?"
I had been secretly observing Amelia's and Morgan's movements the past few days and found that they were sleeping in separate rooms.
This could only mean that the two were fighting, right? How perfect! I couldn't wait to ask Amelia out.
I wanted to seize this chance to win her heart.
"Larry, I..."
Amelia averted her gaze, seeming to want to say something, but she stopped on second thought.
"I know you're sleeping in separate rooms.Don't try to hide it from me, Amelia!" I sneered.
"You don't love him anymore, right?"
"Fine.I'll tell you.After you sentthose photos, I got into a big fight with Morgan."
Amelia sighed, wringing her fingers nervously.
"I kept it from him before.He didn't know that you had imprisonedfor many years.But those photos brought everything to light.When Morgan found out the truth, he felt that he couldn't accept me anymore since I had been raped."
I couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Perfect! I did the right thing by sending those photos to Amelia.I knew that that stupid Morgan wouldn't be able to stand it.
"My dear Amelia, he has no right to loathe you."
As I smelled the fragrance of Amelia's hair, I felt intoxicated and felt the need to express my love.
"Cwith me, Amelia.Morgan is a fool.Don't waste your ton him.Cback withand I'll treat you well.I'll never imprison you again.Honey, I love you.I love you more than anyone else."
