Chapter 1049


    If she hadn’t interfered, the incidentst night wouldn’t have happened.


    “But I’m d you brought me here,” Warren said softly, lowering his head, his face erged in front


    of Amelia’s eyes. “If you hadn’t brought me here, we wouldn’t have been so intimatest night… as


    intimate as we used to be.”


    Smack!


    She suddenly raised her hand and pped him hard.


    Warren’s cheek turned slightly to one side, bearing a red mark.


    He seemed unfazed by the pain and continued, “If you think one p isn’t enough, you can keep


    going. But, Amelia, no matter what, you can’t deny thatst night, you had feelings for me. In the


    end, you were desiring me. When I was drunk, I still remember the things you said… you said you


    wanted me, you said…”


    “Stop! Stop!” Amelia covered her ears abruptly, not wanting to hear more. His words only dragged


    her back to that time, making her feel even more miserable.


    She didn’t want it, but her body refused to listen to her brain. Even after yearster, he was still


    familiar with her body. It was ridiculous but sad.

    He pulled down her hands and continued to whisper the same thing he said yesterday, showing his


    affection.


    “Amelia, since you have feelings for me, don’t resist me, okay? I’ll be nice to you. I promise won’t


    hurt you again this time!”


    Ameliaughed suddenly, tears welling up in her dark eyes. “You think I wanted what happenedst


    night? It was nothing but forceful…”


    “Warren, have you ever experienced being overpowered by someone else’s strength, unable to


    resist, no matter how hard you struggled?” she used, her voice rising. “That sense of humiliation,


    have you felt it?”


    Warren stared at her in a daze, frozen in ce.


    “You think everything that happenedst night was because I had feelings for you? But for me, it


    was just humiliation because I couldn’t resist. Even if it wasn’t you, if it were any other man, I would


    have reacted the same way!”


    Her usations and tears were like the sharpest sword, piercing his heart.


    “Humiliation… Everything fromst night, was it really just humiliation for you?” he asked in a


    whisper.


    “Isn’t it? Do you think I willingly went through all that with you?” she retorted sarcastically. “Warren,


    you’ve hurt me over and over. How many times do you think you need to hurt me before it’s


    enough?”


    His face turned pale, and even the color on his lips seemed to fade away.


    He trembled slightly and gazed at her with a determined look. “Tell me, didn’t you feel… a little


    pleasurest night?”


    “No,” she replied without hesitation. “Everything fromst night was just a nightmare for me.”


    “A nightmare?” He chuckled bitterly. It was a beautiful dream for him, but a nightmare for her.


    His fingers slowly reached for her face, mere inches away from touching


    her cheek.


    s, she turned her face away, clearly resisting.


    His hand seemed to freeze in mid-air, unable to move forward.


    Despite their physical closeness, he felt like there was an insurmountable distance that no amount


    of effort could bridge.


    “What do I need to do for you to give me even a little affection? I… just want a little…” he pleaded.


    “No matter what, it’s impossible,” she ruthlessly rejected. “Warren, I’ve said it before. It’s already


    over between us. Let’s treat what happened yesterday as if it never happened. Forget anything ever


    happened, and I will forget itpletely.”


    Pain filled his eyes as he knew he couldn’t forget it.


    Warren suddenly seemed to lose all his strength, stumbling backward.


    Amelia took a deep breath. “I hope you won’te to the store anymore. If there’s anything rted


    to Aiden, you can contact me by phone. Let’s


    end it here.”


    After saying this, Amelia turned and left, leaving Warren standing alone in the room. His mood was


    completely different now.


    10:50


    When the sound of the door closing echoed, Warren copsed to the floor, his hands clenched


    tightly into fists, pounding the ground heavily.


    “Ah… Ah… Ah!” He let out painful screams.


    Amelia returned to the store. Seeing her, Matilda asked nervously, “So, why did hee to see


    you?”


    “It’s nothing,” Amelia reassured her mother, “I just talked to him and told him not toe to the


    store anymore. There’s no future between us.”


    Matilda hesitated for a moment and said, “It had been years, but he is still unmarried, and there is


    no other woman. Maybe he really…”


    “Mom!” Amelia interrupted, understanding what her mother was trying to say. “If I were really with


    him, every time I saw him, I would be reminded of the past. That way, I can never escape from it.”


    Hearing this, Matilda said nothing more.


    In the following days, everything was calm. Warren didn’te to her ce again, and Lucas’ ex-


    wife didn’te to harass her either. ording to Lucas, his ex-wife had initially been determined


    to take over his stall, but suddenly changed her mind and stoppeding.


    On the weekend, when the small store was rtively quiet, Rosalie hosted a meal, inviting Amelia


    and Lillian for a get-together. It was a chance for the three women to catch up.


    Lillian was eight months along, and she seemed blissful. Her face was noticeably rounder, a result


    of the care and feeding from Callum.


    “Are you thirty-three weeks along?” Rosalie asked.


    “Yeah, after the baby is born, I want both of you to be the godmothers!” Lillian said with a smile.


    “Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl?” Rosalie inquired further.


    Lillian shook her head. “Callum and I think it’s better to wait until the baby is born. Let’s keep it as a


    surprise.”


    Amelia looked at Lillian’s pronounced baby bump and sighed, “Time flies. Before you know it, your


    child will be born.”
