The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 2141

Liam focused on holding Amber's hand and leading her through the orange grove. At the same time, he carefully scanned the ground and trees to find any related clues left by Renee and Leia.

"I don't care what others say, because I didn't do anything wrong," he said indifferently. "I hope you'll feel the same. I don't think you need to stop being my friend after choosing to marry Mateo. Am I not the friend you like the most?"

"That's different," Amber said.

She followed Liam passively. At first, she couldn't adapt to it. After walking briefly, she felt better and found it easier to do.

"Although I'm not good at my studies, I know men and women should keep a polite distance. You can't take my hand and sound righteous at the same time," she mumbled.

"Why not?" Liam retorted firmly. "When I was young, I always held my sister's hand wherever we went. I'm holding your hand because this fog is thick and the ground is slippery. I'm afraid of being separated from you. Just walk with me. Stop overthinking."

He didn't do so to take advantage of Amber but wanted to create an amorous atmosphere. Even then, he had no idea why thought in such a way. He was probably out of his mind.

Liam didn't want to see his bird get out of his control. He wanted to keep her at bay near him.

The orange grove was immersed in a thick fog. After walking through it, Liam and Amber's hair and faces were enveloped in a layer of mist. However, their body temperature was a little high because of their different thoughts. Their breaths turned into steam.

After looking around, Liam couldn't find anything and became anxious. He was no longer relaxed.

Amber noticed his anxiety and tried to comfort him gently.

"Liam, don't worry. They must have gone someplace to have some fun and have yet to tell you. I've emphasized to Dad repeatedly that he must treat Ms. Everheart and your sister kindly. He can't find fault with them. And they're prudent. I'm sure they're fine."

"I hope so!" Liam said.

Amber was a considerate person. She easily helped Liam to relax with just a few words.

Liam held Amber's hand and kept walking forward. Occasionally, there were short trees that would hit their heads. They bent over and walked under; it appeared like they were taking a stroll hand in hand. It was rather romantic.

"Have you made up your mind to marry Mateo?" Liam asked.

He cocked his head to look at Amber, who was a lot smaller than her. He sounded calm and

appeared unreadable.

"Of course. I've told Dad. We're preparing for the wedding..." Amber said seriously. "It's just that we need to change something. We need to remove the things set for you and replace them with the things set for Matt. It's a bit troublesome."

For example, they needed to replace the invitation cards, posters, videos, sizes of the wedding clothes, and so on. They needed to prepare everything in a few days when before, they spent half a year preparing. Everything needed a lot of manpower.

When Liam heard that, he felt uneasy.

"You want to set me free by replacing me with Mateo, don't you?" he asked coldly.

"That's not the only reason." Amber took a deep breath and said honestly, "At first, I wanted to set you free. Later, I felt that it was a chance for me to make a choice again. I don't want to be stubborn."

"What do you mean? Why did you say that?" Liam's voice grew colder, tinged with displeasure.
